TCM actually aired this in widescreen early Wednesday morning

...right after an all-night tribute to animator Chuck Jones. So does this mean it may come to DVD at some point soon?

(Interesting fact: UPA, the company behind this film, also made 1962's Gay Purr-ee, which Jones co-wrote. His participation in the latter got him fired from his long-time partners, Warner Bros. [which ironically picked it up for distribution]. As a result, Jones set up his own animation studio, Sib-Tower 12, which eventually became a revival of the MGM cartoon studio.

Don't believe me? Ask Robert Osborne.)

Yes I know, I had put the timer on my VCR to tape it, because I didn't want to stay up ALL night to tape it.

I tivo'd it accidently ... and was much surprised... my son absolutely loved it... and I even laughed... and laughed at his laughing...lol

This movie is underrated and so is Mr. Magoo ... I watched it and became a kid again for about 20 minutes...I found it worth the watch!
