It’s about halfway over, and they are making a concerted effort to choose only the best (One Froggy Evening in on right now).
Yeah, I spend a good part of the morning watching this. My wife wasn’t sure if she’d ever really watched Looney Tunes before. :eek:
Good stuff!
Lol I am watching it now and Kill the Wabbit is on. Love Looney Tunes…never too old to watch em. 
Earlier today I got to see the executioner mice in the haunted inn with Porky and Sylvester. I also got to see one of the Bugs Bunny episodes where the furry monster in sneakers chases him around the mad scientist’s castle. They must have redone that one because I do not remember Peter Lorre as the mad scientist. I remember a guy who looked like the Futurama old scientist.
As Fudd blew Donald’s beak off for the umpteenth time, I said “Okay, honey… I’ll change it”… knowing our three year old was very amused at all this newfound gratuitous violence-without-longterm-consequences. My wife is like “Why?”. Sheez. She won’t let me watch Spongebob, but anvils down cats’ throats are acceptable.
Cool. I don’t have TNT, but youtube is decent source for these if you know what you’re looking for (like searching One Froggy Evening).
Anyone know if there are some equally choice Looney Tunes DVD collections?
Does this marathon herald a glorious new era of frequent Looney Tunes cartoons on TNT, or is it just a cruel tease? I remember watching Looney Tunes on TNT in the late 80’s or early 90’s.
Cartoon Network is doing this too. I saw what seemed like the first appearances (or at least very early appearances) of Wile E. Coyote and The Tazmanian Devil.
The Kiddo (age 10) has been watching it off and on all day, and laughing hysterically. He actually asked me to set his alarm for 5:45 this morning so he wouldn’t miss any of it (which I did), and also asked if he could stay up until 11 tonight (which I haven’t answered yet).
For the record, he was still sound asleep when I finally got up around 9:00 this morning…
I was pleasantly surprised when I got up and this was on Cartoon Network. Left it on all day (even if I wasn’t actively watching, it still made for pleasant background noise).
I’d recommend the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Series, especially volumes 1 through 3. Restored colour, good commentaries, and nothing cut out. I’d reached the point where I could barely watch Looney Tunes on regular TV because so many of the gags had been ham handedly censored.
The Peter Lorre one is actually the original, Hare-Raising Hair, the bulbous-headed guy was the monster’s master in a follow-up, Water, Water Every Hare. I watched a bunch on the Cartoon Network yesterday. I’m getting over being sick and coincidentally at my parents’ house, so laying on the couch under an afghan watching this make me feel like I was eight. In a good way.
Yeah, they often recycled and redid plots from older cartoons.
Amen to that. TNT didn’t edit anything that I noticed (and they had to be from the Golden Collections).
I noticed that the Cartoon Network edited all the suicide stuff out of the Pepe Le Pew short “For Scent-imental Reasons.” It’s uncut on the DVD. My little peanut of brittle.
Did they have the monster on it. I LOVE the monster. He’s the best.
I also love when Mrs Daffy says “I oughtta smack the beak right off your head.” And Daffy says “I’d like to see you try.” And then you hear (but don’t see) a huge slap, and Daffy picks his beak up off the ground.
