Quotes

Officer Bonkers D. Bobcat: I'm really sorry, Lucky. I kinda forgot that toon parachutes only open on impact.
Detective Lucky Piquel: Forget it, Bonkers. It was fortunate I landed in that field of haystacks.
Officer Bonkers D. Bobcat: Yeah, too bad you didn't land *on* one, though. Ouchie, huh?

Wacky!!!!!

This is good stuff.

In 1993, Disney released its next series in the Disney Afternoon lineup, "Bonkers." It's a show about some crazy cat who worked at a police station in Hollywood, and many "Roger Rabbit" things go on here!

I didn't see very many episodes of this, and I didn't care much about this show as well as 1994's "Gargoyles," although there were some episodes that I liked and stuck in my head as well: one was about the weather, and something funny happened with an elevator (?), and one was about a train. Sorry, it's been a while!!!!!

Before I leave, one criticism: I mean, why ban this "Golden Age" show when later garbage like KIM POSSIBLE and THAT'S SO RAVEN should be banned, huh????? (LOL) Must be a "Ren and Stimpy" Xerox, huh?????

Anyways, "Bonkers" is a pretty good show. Not "DuckTales" exciting, but still good!!!!!
