One of my favorite cartoon shows of the early 90′s, I’d actually try and catch Animaniacs whenever I was home. It wasn’t like its predecessor, Tiny Toon Adventures. It was funny, and smart. There were loads of characters—like Skippy and Slappy, the Goodfeathers, Buttons and Mindy,  and of course, Pinky and the Brain—who filled in the supporting cast with their eight-minute stories (or however long they were), wrapping the Warner Brothers Yakko and Wakko, and their sister Dot in their never-ending quest to escape that big guy with the net.

What endeared me to the show wasn’t quite the “educational value” (that Countries song, or whatever other things they did), or the smart humor they sometimes employed (like a Buttons and Mindy episode entirely in French!) but those little minute-long segments. And I don’t know which I liked more, the Wheel of Morality or Good Idea Bad Idea.

After the cut, two clips, compiling a few Wheels of Morality, and a few Good Ideas coupled with their Bad Ideas.

Tell us the lesson that we should learn.

Good Idea: playing in a sandbox. Bad Idea: playing in a sandstorm.

Which segment did you like better? Or, what’s your favorite memory of Animaniacs?
