And in terms of pop culture references, it uses as many as possible, including obvious references to Mike Tyson, Batman, Clint Eastwood, the big three Trek gang (Kirk, Spock and Bones), Michael Jackson and Rocky just to name a few (though they aren’t using the name of those celebrities/characters). Another highpoint is that because of the WB name and the pedigree of ‘toons from the past, the show effectively opens itself up to great characters.

So in that sense, they are all memorable in one way or another.

With 35 episodes (many multi-parted) there’s thankfully no instance where any episode seem too alike to another. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still very entertaining but they’re simply not as funny as the very early batch on disc one. If there is one thing I’d dodge points off the series for it’s that while funny from episode 1 through episode 35, it seems to lose some of its luster after the first quarter of the episodes. The pop culture references may not be enjoyed so much by the kids (whom the cartoon is targeted towards) and watching it so many years later, some of it seems dated, but the great thing about it is that regardless of all that, even if you don’t necessarily understand the reference, what’s being spoofed is continually funny and because of that the show has a certain attractiveness to both kids and adults. For those unfamiliar with the series, it’s just your basic animated cartoon, filled with laughs and several pop culture references. The series ran on afternoon’s for three seasons from 1990-1994 and thankfully, it’s just as funny and enjoyable as I remember it all those years ago.
