Guess Who's Coming Back?

Yes, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are making a return to the small screen thanks to Steven Spielberg's Amblin TV and Warner Bros.  It's a cartoon that debuted in 1993, and while it was aimed towards children, they had enough subtle references that kids wouldn't pick up on (but adults would!) that college students and parents alike also enjoyed it.  Now, it's coming back!


IndieWire is reporting that The Animaniacs is in early development over at Amblin TV, along with Warner Bros. and Spielberg producing.  It's resurgence in popularity is due to the fact that Netflix picked it up, and the show is getting a lot of traffic.  So what do you do when that happens?  You give the people what they want...and cash in on it at the same time!


The show was unique in the fact that it didn't just feature the Warner Brothers....and the Warner Sister, too, but it had a whole bunch of characters that shared time in the half-hour show, lending to different stories and different tones for each segment.  One of the most popular of the supporting cast was Pinky and The Brain.  Now, 22 years after the last episode aired, a whole new generation of kids will be able to enjoy new adventures from the show.


There's no word on when the show plans to air, on what channel, or at what time, but with the show's continued popularity, I'm sure networks will be lining up for the chance to get them on their network.  I'll let you know as soon as an air date, channel, and time have been announced.
