This is an animated television show. There will be spoilers ahead:
I'm extremely biased, because I love this show, but I think this was the best "children's" animated television series of the last quarter century. It revolves around three characters, the Warner siblings, ostensibly characters created by Warners animation department in the 1930s but found to be too zany and locked away in a water tower on the studio lot-"until they escaped".
In addition to segments featuring the Warner brothers (and the Warner sister Dot) and the supporting characters, Dr. Scratchandsniff, Hello Nurse and so on, there are other characters who populate the series and have their own separate stories. Different rotating characters appeal to different segments of the audience. I particularly like Slappy the Squirrel, Pinky and the Brain, Rita and Runt and the really short blackouts like Mime Time, Good Idea, Bad Idea and the like.
There are lots of parodies of films and television shows, current events and topical jokes, quite a few musical pieces and it moves fast and furious. If you blink, you probably miss something. Not everything works, but what doesn't work for me works for someone else.
The whole series is available on DVD and is worth watching. Most highly recommended.
