10. Chicken Boo – Stops having any entertainment value after you’ve seen it twice.
9. Hip Hippos – The one with Noah’s arc was good. Other than that…
8. Minerva Mink – Obnoxious lead. Has its moments.
7. Katie Kaboom – Clever concept, but repetitive. Maybe I’ll enjoy it more when Lain is a teenager.
6. Goodfeathers – Definitely has its moments, but episodes seem to bifurcate between good and kinda boring, with the latter outnumbering the former. Never terrible, though.
5. Rita and Runt – Reasonably steady and consistently good, though (almost) never really good.
4. Slappy Squirrel – The Woodstock segment, above, is utterly brilliant for fans of classic rock and Abbott & Costello. Segments tend towards the good or bad, with not much in between.
3. Pinky & The Brain – There is a reason this one took off.
2. Molly & Buttons – I am not sure I would have appreciated this one as much before Lain was born. But she was and I do. It’s also one of Lain’s favorites.
1. Warner Brothers (and their Sister Dot) – Yeah. Obviously.

No Mr. Skullhead? For some reason, that was a favorite of my labmates back when I was in grad school.
I thought about including the supershorts, like Skullhead or the mimes or the boy in the cap, but couldn’t remember them. Some of the Skullhead ones are great.
“Okay, one time Randy Beeman….” Yeah, those were good too.
And Dot’s Poetry Corner! I like those.
I’m amazed that you caught onto this show. It’s actually a relatively funny cartoon, but weren’t you a bit older than the intended demographic when it first aired?
BTW, I think you neglected the Mime Time segments in your list…
I left out the shorts (ie Mime Time, Good Idea Bad Idea, and little boy with the hat).
I didn’t watch it all that much back in the day, but saw enough to recognize that it was good and so when I needed something for Lain, it was what came to mind. (Along with Tiny Toons, which doesn’t quite compete.)
