>>93728267I really enjoyed it as a kid
I felt like the intentionally outdated references to stars from decades past were educational in a certain way.
Where else would a kid hear pop culture references about Buddy Hackett and Liberace?
There seemed to be a genuine affection for Old Hollywood and lots of music from the pre-television era.
I bought the first few seasons on DVD and watched some of them.
I will admit that they have not aged well. The contemporary humor is now stale.
MC Hammer and Joan Collins references don't carry the same reverence as the good old days.
Aside from the references, I did tire of the characters feeling formulaic the more you watch.
I mean pinky and the brain was basically the exact same thing each time. Even if they come up with a clever premise each episode, it tastes like the same recipe with a few substitutions.
The P Sychiatrist, a profession associated with intellect, is mentally exhausted by the irreverent siblings.
I get it.
That one pigeon loses his temper.
The Mink is a tease.
Slappy is a feisty old crank.
The nurse is attractive.
Hippos are large
I get it.
I'll always be one of my favorite cartoons, but I think it will be a long time before I watch it again.
