jer007 As many reviewers said, these shows were top notch for the 90s, and remain so today. I don't get all the jokes from pop culture and politics (they do out-date after a while), but that's not so much concern, when everything else is lovable about this show (just like the other Spielberg presents). Great animation, a 35 piece orchestra for the music (boy is that rare in series nowadays), incredible voice actors and singers, and great and often absurd stories which may revisit historical events and figures... I bought the series on DVD and I just can't stop watching them. And yes, I'm not a kid anymore and these shows get better with age! Also, Pinky's NARF, ZORT, POINT, TROZ just have me laughing every single time.

MartinHafer Pinky and the Brain were originally characters in the highly creative and clever "Animaniacs" television show. While neither purported to be high art, as a cartoon that would both interest kids AND adults, they were both amazing shows.The Brain was a super-intelligent megalomaniac mouse with visions of ruling the world. Pinky was his incredibly stupid but entertaining mouse friend. Invariably, the Brain's incredibly intricate plans ended up backfiring and Brain ended up blaming Pinky--who was only occasionally guilty to undoing these plots.The reason this show did so well (eventually even making it to prime time television) is that the characters were clever and lovable, the writing exceptional, the voice work by Maurice LaMarche and Rob Paulsen stellar and the idea for the show very original. When the show was in its stride, it was brilliant and hard to beat.Ultimately, however, the show began to run out of ideas and actually lasted longer than it should have. If you don't believe me, try watching some of the later episodes--particularly after the show was renamed "Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain". Introducing the obnoxious Elmyra character was proof that the show had outlived its life and had obviously "jumped the shark", so to speak.If you have a few extra dollars, consider buying one of the box sets of DVDs. They are COMPLETE and unedited--unlike most of the episodes you occasionally see on TV today.

words_like_violence_brea I consider that Pinky and the Brain is exhaustively underrated, I feel that the series should continue as 'Pinky and The Brain' are unquestionably entertaining!Pinky: So what are we going to do tonight Brain? Brain: The same thing we do every night Pinky....Try to take over the WORLD!When people suggest who is funniest on the programme I always protested Brain as he had complete power and a big sense of authority, of what he was doing. Brains anger amused me in a way that no other programme has.Brain, in general has an wrathful attitude and his inclination for global domination can be understood, (I know how he feels), He should have found me. We could have ruled the world side by side......BRAIN LIVES!!!!Only he can understand what I'm becoming..........7 wins 10 nominations, enough said really!

Stephen_Tilson Two genetically altered lab mice, Pinky, and The Brain, spend each night following Brain's latest plan to try and take over the world. Pinky seems an addle-headed moron who is nevertheless capable of brilliant inspiration, while Brain displays an Einsteinian IQ and an insatiable desire to rule the world. But The Brain has a fatal flaw...The premise states one mouse is a genius and the other is insane. But which is which?65 episodes of great multi-level writing, hilarious jokes for adults and kiddies alike, exceptionally expressive animation, top-notch voice talent: this series has it all. The quality of the shows often evoke Looney Toons at their best. This wonderful creation is begging for a box-set DVD treatment. Are your listening, WB? Mr. Spielberg? Anyone?
