The Hip Hippos have a special delivery from the stork! Unfortunately it's not their baby, it's the Brain who mistakenly goes to their house thinking that the hippos are actually the wealthy Rockefellers. The hippos do their best to take care of the Brain whom they think is a malnurished hippo. Will the Brain survive their feedings, hot baths, and overall stupidity? The hosts discuss their favorite moments in this cute cartoon which happens to be the last time the Hip Hippos have their own cartoon segment.

Each week, Joey, Nathan and Kelly revisit an episode of Animaniacs in the order in which they first premiered. They discuss their favorite jokes, gags, and discuss all the cultural references they can find. Today, the Joey and Nathan discuss another issue of the Animaniacs comic featuring two stories that might just be good enough for the actual cartoon show!
The Warners break into a board meeting and end up driving Dr. Scratchansniff over the edge and into insanity! They soon realize that they need to rescue him, especially after his replacement, Dr. Bananibal Phrewtkupp puts plaid uniforms on the siblings. Will the Warners rescue Dr. S. in time, or will they be locked up in a padded cell as well?
In what looks like a direct sequel to "Hearts of Twilight," Mister Director has run off again and needs to be brought back to the studio. This time he's moved off to France since the citizens there think he's a genius. The Warners are sent on a mission improbable to find him and bring him back. Is this a worthy successor to Animaniacs cartoons featuring Mister Director?

Wakko is the subject of ten short films. Some films are incredibly short and others feel like they could have extended to full length cartoons. The hosts discuss their favorite moments and which segments they feel could be extended.
A cuckoo bird comes out of his clock and falls in love with a canary. The cuckoo clock bird attempts in vain to be with her. Eventually they do end up living together in the cuckoo clock. Frank Welker voices both of the main characters in this sweet cartoon.
The WB network is in trouble so Thaddeus Plotz hires Chicken Boo to come up with a new lineup. What follows is an assortment of chicken themed shows such as "Sixty Clucks" and "The Egg Files." This is one of the longest Chicken Boo segments and while it is longer, it's still very funny. Eventually Boo is revealed to be a chicken however after everyone rips his clothes off!
We'll be finishing up our run of the classic episodes of Animaniacs soon! What should we cover before the new episodes premiere in 2020? Let us know by going to Survey.Animanicast.com.
