Tiny Toon Adventures

1990 – 1993 261 episodes

After nearly a decade of dormancy, Warner Bros. decided to restart its animation studio in 1989, and to base their new show on their classic characters (really their only characters!). Produced by a collaboration of Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. Animation, and created by Tom Ruegger, the show ran solid until it was replaced by Animaniacs.
