Dee Dee Koosey, do you notice anything strange?
Koosey: What, Dee Dee?

Dexter's Laboratory, "Wacky Races"
  1. NOTE: The year is incorrect. Hanna and Barbera were still working on Tom & Jerry at MGM in 1947. They wouldn't develop the streamline production till ten years later, 1957, when they started up their own studio to make cartoons for television.
