Tiny Toon Adventures Turns 25!
10 years ago
Today is the 25th anniversary of the world premiere of the animated TV show, Tiny Toon Adventures!
The pilot episode premiered as a special on CBS on Friday, September 14, 1990. However, it wasn't until three days later on Monday, September 17th, 1990, that I first got to see it on WLVI-TV Channel 56 in Boston. I was only 6 years old at the time it came out, but I remember looking forward to finally watching this show when they kept advertising it on channel 56 the weeks before its September 17th launch! I was already a fan of Looney Tunes (which they showed on Nickelodeon, back then), so it was easy for me to enjoy Tiny Toons. I watched this show religiously once it came out. I had several Tiny Toons merch, including stuffed animal Tiny Toons, the Gameboy game, Babs' Big Break, a Tiny Toons sleeping bag, and other types of merchandise.
This show was legendary for my childhood. I don't know what the early 90's would be like for me without this show.

It was a show made to timely and made many references to pop culture at that time. A few short years after its run it was dated. Still good fun.

Other shows (like Animaniacs, for example) used pop culture references at the times they were produced too.

Would a six year old today enjoy either show?

I wouldn't expect it to be too common kids would enjoy classic TV shows, cartoons, video games, etc., but I have come across young kids, roughly kindergarten aged, who I've seen play Pac Man, see me with a Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers t-shirt on and compliment on it, y'know? So, I won't be surprised if there are still kids that young who are fans of classic cartoons like these.
