Where to being. Almost all of the original characters (love them or hate them) are gone. At least Pinky and the Brain is in it still, though since this show is terrible now, I'd prefer another P&B show instead.
Now we move on to the humor. The show in the past had decades of material to work with. And yet in this new reboot they ignore the 22 years of pop culture that could have worked with and stick to the year or so before this reboot came out. Which really gets boring because they keep reusing the same jokes essentially. And because this was written after Trumps election, WAY to much of the jokes reference or have to do with Trump. Seriously? Every show on tv has political stuff, can't we just keep this politics free?
The chaos of the Warners is no longer... well chaotic. They are a bit more tame and dull now. I didn't find myself laughing much and wondered if they remember how the old series format worked. And thanks to a more politically correct world, everything is tame now. They even make note of it in the new theme song.
It felt like torture but I finished the first season and am relived to be done with it. If you are expecting the feelings you had in the 90s, think again. The ONLY thing even worth watching was Pinky and the Brain. Maybe they should ditch a second season of Animaniacs and stick with a reboot of Pinky and the Brain instead.
