Fun, Time and Space[]
Plot[]
The Brain creates a black hole in Elmyra's bedroom, hoping to exploit the theory that black holes can transport someone to other universes or send someone back in time. He enlists Pinky to distract Elmyra to play along with her make-believe show. Pinky's patience, however, is inordinately low and he constantly bickers with Elmyra as Brain struggles to perfect the black hole.
Crew[]
- Written by John P. McCann
- Directed by Bob Davies
Trivia[]
- The Elmyra Fun Time Show makes its comeback from the Tiny Toon Adventures season 2 finale, "Take Elmyra Please."
- At the end of this episode just before the ending chorus is about to finish, the exterior shot of Elmyra's house is suddenly sucked in until the screen goes black. This implies that the black hole sucked them all in.
Hooray for Meat[]
Plot[]
Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain go to a "Meat Festival". There, The Brain discovers a plan to take over the world using "Meats of Evil." The mice plan to use the Patty Ann suit to try out for the Meat Queen contest. They win, but are forced to contend with Vanity's wrath and Elmyra's jealousy.
