- Yeah. Not bad, either.

- Agreed. Three nice all-around cartoons, and a fun episode overall.
-
- Rob's three bits to follow...
-
- Act #1: "Compromising Principals". Cute. The "room changes once Yosemite Sam
- leaves" bit was amusing, especially the economics/casino scenario. I kinda wish
- the audience was shown how the quick-changes were done, tho.
-
- Act #2: "Maid to Re-order". Cute again, though I wish for one more time with
- Buster 'n Babs' butler and maid routines. Drooling Babs Fanboys will be
- begging Paul Osze for a GIF of Babs-as-Greta, since she has such huge...assets.

- Act #3:
- >'Class with no Class' wasn't that outstanding
-
- It was decent, especially Buster's "isn't this assignment dumb?" comments
- throughout. B-) I was almost expecting Buster to pull the switch on Dizzy,
- since TTA _might_ have the nerve to electrocute a toon on TV. B-)

- I'll be honest, I didn't notice a voice change at all (other than thinking
- "Buster/Charlie Adler has a thing for southern accents, doesn't he?"). If
- Kassir's been doing that much voicework, I'm impressed as punch (again).
-
- Overall, three solid, fun shorts. A cool episode.
