I wonder if we'll be getting any new songs in the reboot or if everything will just be comedy sketches. Those quick segments really added flavor to the original show.

I'm also hoping we'll get some new Good Idea/Bad Idea, Mime Time, Wheel of Morality, and Randy Beaman's Pal bumpers. We already know we're not getting any Hello Nurse in this iteration (because she's not PC), but hopefully Ralph, Plotz, and Scratchinsniff will show up. I will miss Slappy and Buttons and Mindy. I wouldn't mind any of them showing up in cameos, though. I can definitely live without the Hippos, R&R, and the Goodfeathers. Pinky and the Brain were of course the stand outs, with Slappy the Squirrel being a great throwback character and Buttons & Mindy being fun slapstick.You make a decent point. The Goodfeathers was a one-joke bit, the hippos were tiresome fat-jokes, Rita and Runt was *extremely* tiresome. To be fair, a lot of the secondary characters on the original series were not great. The catfishing joke in particular is one of those jokes that seems like a simple pun, but it's one of those jokes that are so delightfully stupid that I would have been disappointed if they hadn't done it. So, I'm fine with them not having that whole extra cast.Īnd the jokes seemed to be self-aware enough that I don't think they'll be a problem. Pinky and the Brain were of course the stand outs, with Slappy the Squirrel being a great throwback character and Buttons & Mindy being fun slapstick. It is still 2020 after all.To be fair, a lot of the secondary characters on the original series were not great. I'm still cautiously optimistic, but after Star Wars VII-IX and Incredibles II, I am bracing myself for disappointment. This is reminiscent of the final season of the original series, which basically dumped the rest of the cast as well (except for the occasional Slappy skit) and was worse off for it. That ad also makes it obvious that this is the Warners/Pinky & the Brain show, not full-on Animaniacs. I hope the reboot can manage to do so with real wit and not just an obvious checklist of wokeness. The original series frequently dug into current events.

Well, we got Trump and 'mansplaining' in that trailer.
