On laserdisc it is on a Warner Bros. disc called "Looney Tunes Curtain Calls" it is on side 2 number 4 cartoon. I saw this as a kid on tv it may have not been on a network but it was broadcast on tv in the early 1970s or so before polictally correctness ruined everything. Hope this helps. This disc is currently on ebay along with many low priced laserdisc players buy a Pioneer brand if your looking they are the original makers of high & low end plavers the DVL are more expensive they play both dvds & laserdiscs.

Re: Where to find this cartoon?

You can find it on a 3 disc DVD set entitled "Warner Brothers Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection - 15 Winners, 26 Nominees". Buy it on Amazon or eBay.

Don't get the single disc version of this DVD title, because, as a non-winner (AA nominee-only), "High Note" is not included on the single disc release.

I was told this cartoon was never shown on broadcast TV (local or network), because the leading character was intoxicated.

The cartoon became widely available when it was released on VHS in the 1980s. I suppose it might be shown on cable, too. (I don't get Boomerang or Cartoon Network.)

I first saw "High Note" at a circa 1975 cartoon festival hosted by Chuck Jones at the AFI (16mm prints) in Washington DC. Later that year, I was able to find it for rent from exactly ONE 16mm non-theatrical film rental house (a choppy print, but good color). In fact, Chuck Jones asked ME where it could be found, because his print was without credits. WOW!

Of course, home video changed all that...
