Great Memories

I grew up on this show for my main source of Warner Brothers cartoons but it wasn't the only source, just the most memorable and I think that's due to it being on TV for so many years. Growing up it was on Global around 5pm on Saturdays or Sundays and I would always catch it just before dinner until Global eventually dropped it to my disappointment. Teleteoon in Canada eventually picked it up and now I enjoy it every night at 8pm or midnight. (I prefer it at midnight). Anyways it's great seeing this on every night even though it's edited and a lot of cartoons are missing. I'll keep watching it too, even after I probably buy the DVDs. :-p

Yeah, these cartoons are classics. They still make me laugh.

I love these cartoons but they were edited on this program. This was my first source for Looney Tunes so I didn't know. I'm glad they relesed them on DVD uncut. They also included both openings from this show as an extra on "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2".

I find it a little frustrating watching this show because of the edits. I grew up on The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour in the late sixties and early seventies. It was all the complete uncut versions. I watch them now and recall what has been cut out, and it's not always just violence. In One Froggy Evening, when the guy rents the theatre to showcase the singing frog, he anticipates a stampede at the door when he opens it. When nobody shows up, he paints a sign that says "Free Admission!", and again nobody shows up. So he then paints a sign that says "Free Beer", and he gets stampeded by men running into the theatre. In the cut version, the guy gets stampeded when he puts up the "Free Admission!" sign. Not funny anymore IMO.

Oh spiffing. Absolutely spiffing. Well done. Two dead, twenty-five to go.

For people living in America we all saw this great cartoon hour on Saturday AM about 10 AM or 10:30 central time.

What great memories and Bugs, Yosemite, Elmer Fudd, Tweety&Sylvester, the Roadrunner & Coyote, etc. were all great weren't they?

I was in third or fourth grade when this came to ABC-TV and I watched every Saturday, it would come on in the 10-10:30 am slot, and I enjoyed all of it, it was better than some of the other incarnations that have come down the pipe over the years. I wish it would get picked back up on another network.
