Pig, among others. The characters reside in Acme Acres and are enrolled at Acme Looniversity, where they are schooled under the wise (guy) guidance of veteran toon legends such as Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd and others in hopes of graduating with a "Diploma of Lunacy." The series originally premiered in 1990 and aired for three seasons.

FREAKAZOID! made its television debut and aired for two seasons. Also, exec produced by Spielberg, this Daytime Emmy Award-winning series chronicles the adventures of Freakazoid, a manic, insane superhero who battles a vast array of super villains. Freakazoid is the alter-ego of geeky teen Dexter Douglas, who upon surfing the web one night, is swept into a digital techno-electric smash up that zaps him in the gigabytes and he is transformed from geek to Freakazoid, a smart-mouthing, butt-kicking, mega-voltage superhero.
