Are there any Pinky and The Brain fans around here?

Yeah, I loved that show. When it was on in prime-time, I watched it every
Sunday night. Great cartoon.

I love that cartoon! I'm glad to see it on Toon Disney. Classic!

I found this piece of info on the TV Acres website ...

Trivia Note: According to The Official Cultural Reference Guide for the Animated Series: Pinky and the Brain, edited and compiled by Brian Norman (Version 1.0 Release date October-6-1997) the Brain's voice and mannerisms were supposed to be a parody of Orson Welles. It further stated "a radio interview with Maurice LaMarche (the voice of Pinky) said: that when he saw the early model sheets of the Brain, he immediately thought of Orson Welles, and did a straight Welles imitation for the voice. It was decided later that that voice was a little too flat, so Moe added a touch of Vincent Price and a dab of Peter Lorre to come up with the voice we hear now."
