this be a perfect example of a series that long outlive it usefulness . i love pinky and the brain and watch the show almost religiously and but when some dunderhead at the wb decide to pair these mouse with elmyra and i be horrify . there be absolutely no reason to take them away from acme lab except that the show have just run out of idea . this be an example of the expression jump the shark it be obvious it be all downhill for the show from then until it cancellation and with crappy episode without the original formula and it wasn not long before the show breathe it last . frankly and i just find it embarrass to watch towards the end . my recommendation be never watch this incarnation of the show and use massive amount of denial . convince yourselves and others it never occur the only show that ever exist be animaniacs and pinky and the brain . they never pair the mouse with elmyra no and never .
