Ok, this is random, but I am hoping someone will be able to help me. There is, out there somewhere, an episode from Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies that I want to find a copy of, if possible. I had it on VHS once, but when the house got flooded, that tape was destroyed. It was probably in the 60’s (possibly 50’s or 70’s), and did not feature any of the regular characters. It was about an alien who felt unloved and unwanted on his home planet, so he came to Earth, where he was – of course – harassed, thrown in jail, etc. before he decided to go back to his home world, where he found the love he had wanted all along was right there…yeah, cheesy but sweet. It has that trippy, psychedelic feel of the 60’s cartoons. If anyone knows the title of this one – or even just the year/season it came out, so I can track it down, that would ROCK! ---

AFAIK the only alien in any Looney Tunes short features was Marvin the Martian, and none of his cartoons fit your description. ---

Found it – [Martian Through Georgia - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_Through_Georgia) one of my all-time faves…definitely watch it if you get a chance!

It’s a Merrie Melody, but let’s not overlook _Jumpin’ Jupiter_, in which a bird-like alien (somewhat resembling the “instant Martians” that would appear a few years later in _Hare-Way to the Stars_) abducts Porky and Sylvester, with the latter terrified and the former oblivious. Personally, I didn’t much like _Martian Through Georgia_. The ending annoys me. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Personally, I didn’t much like _Martian Through Georgia_. The ending annoys me. Yeah, can’t say I thought much of it (though I don’t ever remember seeing it as a kid). It’s most definitely got that Chuck Jones ‘look’ to it, but it was made in '62 and you can tell how stale & lackluster WB’s animation department was getting. Not to mention cheap. There’s almost no dialog, just narration, and the main character never says a word (no lip-syncing to have to animate)… ---

Sorry, but that was awful. Moralistic and dull at the same time. It suffers from latter day Chuck Jones combined with the annoying UPA style of background design that marred many WB cartoons from this period. ---

Watched it in the 70s. ---

I miss the old Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies cartoons. The music they used in those added so much to the story and animation.
