Biggggggg news in the entertainment world today. Big news for television. Big news for kids. And most importantly big news for parents that have been thissssss close to stabbing an ice pick in their eyes and ears as their kids watch the same shitty cartoons over and over. Finally new episodes of the Animaniacs (are going to) COME BACK to our televisions. Not only was Animaniacs hilarious, but some of their educational songs were straight up fire back in the day.
Not to mention their humor that was pretty edgy for the 90s even though some jokes they went over my dumb kid head.

Hopefully they keep that humor in there, which makes having to watch the same cartoon a billion times much more tolerable. Sure there is a chance all the bitchers and moaners on the internet will be offended and march to the Warner Brothers tower with pitchforks and torches. But that edginess is what made Animaniacs great. So bravo, Hulu. While everyone is sucking Netflix’s dick for Black Mirror, I appreciate you at least trying to keep up in the streaming race, even though rebooting oldies but goodies remains the hottest shit in the Hollywood streets.
