Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain
Well, it's official!
http://www.animated-news.com/archives/00004798.html
TV Shows On DVD have episode listings, and while there don't seem to be any overlaps, I'm concerned that we won't get ORIGINAL Animaniacs episodes.
The way I always thought it worked was that Pinky & The Brain started as one of the "series" within Animaniacs (like Goodfeathers, Slappy, Mindy, etc). When they became the breakout stars and "graduated" to their own show, the ones I saw merely took the stories from Animaniacs and framed them with new opening titles.
As the run progressed, I guess they could have included new stories, but my worry is that the Animaniacs disc will have their P&TB sequences removed, thus not really presenting the original shows.
Then again, these aren't season sets, so maybe I am over reacting??

Darn it. Hopefully with word out, sales will increase and Warner can make plans for the final volume. I wish I could support this during the holidays, but I just got Volume 3 of both Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain.TV Shows on DVD wrote:This past Thursday (Nov. 1st) he posted this info: There currently are no plans for the final, volume 4 DVD release of Animaniacs. <snip> (although not-so-good for Animaniacs fans...looks like the studio will need some motivation in that quarter, so ask for the existing volumes you don't already own as holiday gifts, okay?).
Please don't let this turn out like Huckle!

Gosh darn it!
Still, at least we have lots of Animaniacs and Pinky And The Brain on DVD. It's down to the fans that they don't sell enough to put out the final volume. Hopefully we'll see it sometime. I'd take a bog standard no frills release just to get the missing eps out there, not that the releases were packed anyway.
A shame though...

Where have I heard that before?
Here's a way we/anyone can help out, actually. :idea: -- I expressed my dismay in hearing they have no plans for a final volume, and told WB how much I would love to see it finished. Also gave a hint to included Wakko's Wish; the swan song, if you will.
Its not much, but every little thing helps!

Wakko's Wish was the DTV 'swan song' .. but there was also the Animaniacs Super Special, a one-hour 'finale' for the TV series, which was mostly a parody of the Star Wars films.
Tiny Toon Adventures likewise had the It's A Wonderful Tiny Toon Christmas Special, in addition to the DTV How I Spent My Vacation.

I have that Super Special taped somewhere (and I gotta say, it's a much better Star Wars parody than the one Family Guy came up with). I really like the "Animaniacs Symphony" (or whatever it's called) and I always imagined parts of it being used as trailer music for a big screen Animaniacs movie (wishful thinking before the DTV came out).
