Acme Cable TV is the seventh episode of the second season of Tiny Toon Adventures. In this episode, the students of Acme Looniversity are excited to participate in a live cable TV show at Acme's new station, ACME Cable TV. The students are promised a chance to showcase their talents, however, things do not go as planned.
When the students arrive, they find the station in a state of disarray. There are no cameras, no lights, and no scripts. Furthermore, the show's producer, Roderick Rat, informs the students that they must pay him for airtime on the station. The students are appalled by this and demand to know what they can do to get their show aired.
Feeling a bit down, the students stumble upon a small, yet determined young mouse named Max. Max tells them that he too has been trying to get his own show on ACME Cable TV, but has been unsuccessful thus far. He suggests that they all work together to get their shows on air, and break the monopoly that Roderick has over the station.
Together, the students and Max come up with a plan to get their shows aired. They create their own makeshift camera and lighting equipment, and even draft up their own scripts. They do their best to make their show as entertaining as possible, showing off their unique skills and talents.
As the show airs live, the students quickly realize that something is amiss. Roderick Rat has infiltrated their broadcast and is sabotaging their show, with the intent to humiliate the students and promote his own programming. The students must act fast to prevent Roderick from ruining their show.
They manage to overcome Roderick's attempts to sabotage their show, much to his surprise and disappointment. The students' talents shine through, and they make a name for themselves on Acme Cable TV. The show ends with Buster Bunny introducing the next episode of their show, feeling proud that they've achieved success through hard work and determination.
Overall, Acme Cable TV is an entertaining episode that highlights the importance of perseverance and cooperation, especially when facing adversity. The student's teamwork and resourcefulness in overcoming the obstacles they faced, serve as a valuable lesson to kids and adults alike. With its clever writing, excellent animation and memorable characters, Acme Cable TV will definitely leave a lasting impression on viewers and stand out as one of the highlights of the second season of Tiny Toon Adventures.
