[chdr]

WOOT!

Hopefully this gets good ratings and we can see a full-scale return of the Looney Tunes on CN.

[Rolling Cloud]

Dumb question but how long is each episode supposed to be?

[chdr]

Each short is usually 6-9 minutes long.

[Mini Garbonzo]

Alright! I'll be watching it as much as I can, hopefully there'll be great ratings for this marathon which could make a "Looney Tunes" show on CN a reality.:D

[Mickialla]

Technically this was made in 2008, so it's not the first thread of 2009. ;) Unless we're living in different timezones...

I've been looking forward to something like this for years. This marathon beats every good thing Cartoon Network has done in the past 4 years. Seriously. Better than Foster's and Chowder.

[warnerbroman]

Each short is usually 6-9 minutes long.I times seven on most

[Jave]

Technically this was made in 2008, so it's not the first thread of 2009. ;) Unless we're living in different timezones...Well, where I live, it's 12:45 AM, so yeah.

Either way, I posted this as the first talkback (not thread) of 2009, in the sense that it's the earliest cartoon-related thing to discuss this year.

Either way, quite a milestone. :D

like you are watching cartoon network "west" from where I live :)

[Jave]

you must live in the west or east coast

like you are watching cartoon network "west" from where I live :)I don't live in the US, actually. (See my location)

My time zone is GMT -4, which is the same as the Atlantic Canadian zone, I think. I won't be seeing the marathon like you guys, but I'll watch some of the shorts on DVD to start the year nicely.

Besides, any advertising of Looney Tunes is good advertising. ;)

[Comics_the_QB]

I will have every TV on Looney Tunes tommorrow. (at least before my Dad changes it :sweat:)

Anyways, I'm pumped!

[zoombie]

Are any of these cartoon from the 40's which used to air exclusively on Turner owned networks before the Time Warner merger. I miss those?

I'll be watching, actully I will be flipping between this and the Honeymooners marathon on WPIX 11, I never miss that, a New York New Years day tradition since 1996.

[J!!!]

Despite my dislike of Looney Tunes I will give this a chance maybe it can change my opinion about it.

[Jave]

Are any of these cartoon from the 40's which used to air exclusively on Turner owned networks before the Time Warner merger. I miss those?The first half of the marathon is almost entirely 40's cartoons.

[Mugsy]

Im excited,I have tommorrow off and plan on watching most of the marathon!!! Gotta hit the sheets for some sleep before it starts so happy new year everyone and happy Loony Toon Marathon!!!!

Night....

[Mr Flintstone]

I'm taping the entire marathon. Just in case. You know what I'm talking about.

[Ishtar]

Damn, no Speedy Gonzales cartoons? Thought CN/Boomerang decided to end the ban of those.

[Zekehawk]

And so it begins.....for me at least.

[Tony W.]

I see they're airing the colorized versions of the black and white cartoons. I've always known them as black and white so it's interesting to see what color choices they made in 1995.
In You Ought to be in Pictures, the color looks off on the people but fine for the cartoons. Maybe they thought black and white would turn away a lot of the kids but I never minded it when I used to watch them.

I really hope they make Looney Tunes a show on CN again, especially since I just got CN as an HD channel.

[warnerbroman]

theBut even if they made full detailed plot synopses and what was planned up till episode 65 there's still no reason for the new team to use them.

The new team would want to do their own interpretation of Spidey in whatever way they see fit. They have every right to do that, and it might turn out great, since it would be their show.

noods would be awesome too

[Zen Man]

I hate to say this about todays generation, but....

"Kids meet the Looney Tunes!"

I'm enjoying this marathon though as its been a long time coming.

[Raditz]

Oh god the nostalgia is rushing in like a river right now.

This is the single greatest thing that has ever happened on CN this decade.

[Ishtar]

It's really great to see all of these classic Looney Tunes shorts on Cartoon Network again. The current generation really needs to be able to see these, as they are timelss. Hopefully the ratings are good enough that CN decides to give Looney Tunes a proper slot on the daily schedule once again.

[Mugsy]

Wow, the Loony Toons theme brings back so many memories, what a great marathon! I don't remember many of these episodes, only some but it is awesome to see these again and see new ones

[Kazuya Prower]

Only two shorts appeaared to be restored so far.

Tortoise Beats Hare and Gee Whiz-z-z-z.

Also, as usual, Fresh Hare and An Itch in Time had their endings cut out.

[Comics_the_QB]

At 8:00 I'm popping in my LT Golden Collection: Volume 1. Looney tunes all day! :D

[PF9]

Only two shorts appeaared to be restored so far.

nah they didn't appear restored to me

[Kazuya Prower]

Trap Happy Porky is uncut while Baby Bottleneck had a couple of cuts.

[Racattack!Force]

Watching the entire marathon on CN West. I wanted to see the whole thing, and I stayed up till 2am.

[chdr]

Wow, this thing is awesome.

I kinda hoped that the Viacom blackout would last for a day just so the kids would be forced to watch LT :evil:

[Kazuya Prower]

The original shaking ending card from "The Old Grey Hare" was replaced.

[Mugsy]

They just played like 10 shorts I remember and cherish!!! I'm loving today!! I hope everyone is enjoying the marathon!

[Racattack!Force]

Am I the only one who wished the blackout happened for at least today? :sweat:

[Kevin]

I just truend it on myself. It's great to see the Looney Tunes back on TV again! Oh please, Cartoon Network. I beg of thee. Bring back a 1 hour block of the Looney Tunes shorts like you used to do with Bugs and Daffy years back.

[Comics_the_QB]

Am I the only one who wished the blackout happened for at least today? :sweat:

Could someone catch me up to speed, please? :sweat: Of course it's bound to be in the Cafe.

I have 3 TVs on watching LT.

[chdr]

Could someone catch me up to speed, please? :sweat: Of course it's bound to be in the Cafe.

I have 3 TVs on watching LT.Time Warner Cable and Bright House were having a fee dispute with Viacom, and they were supposed to drop all of Viacom's channels (like Nick, MTV, Comedy Central) after midnight, but they made a deal at the last second.

[Racattack!Force]

Time Warner Cable and Bright House were having a fee dispute with Viacom, and they were supposed to drop all of Viacom's channels (like Nick, MTV, Comedy Central) after midnight, but they made a deal at the last second.Not all of them, only he ones under MTV Networks.

Thanks.

That would have been great! :evil:

[Jave]

Reminder: No posting of full cartoons at Youtube and other streaming sites.

[Kazuya Prower]

Awesome, the comp-colorized version to Porky Pig's Feat is on!

[Ishtar]

Awesome, the comp-colorized version to Porky Pig's Feat is on!
Actually never knew it was originally in black & white. Always saw it the way it is being aired now.

[chdr]

Wow, what a very meta ending.

[Kitschensyngk]

Looney Tunes?

On CARTOON NETWORK?

Gee, who'd-a thunk it?

[Ishtar]

Has the drunken stork been cut entirely from all of his episodes? Must have only started a few years ago, cause I remember CN airing some of his appearances.

[Jave]

Has the drunken stork been cut entirely from all of his episodes? Must have only started a few years ago, cause I remember CN airing some of his appearances.The other cartoons to feature the stork ("Apes of Wrath", "Goo Goo Goliath", "Stork Naked" and "A Mouse Divided") have him in roles too big to be cut out. However, none of these shorts is airing in the marathon, so CN chose not to air the cartoons at all.

[Kazuya Prower]

A Sniffles cartoon. I like this Sniffles better than the obnoxious chattermouth Sniffles Chuck Jones would use later on.

[Ishtar]

A Sniffles cartoon. I like this Sniffles better than the obnoxious chattermouth Sniffles Chuck Jones would use later on.
I remember CN used to always air the cartoon where he tries to stay up for Santa every time around Christmas for years.

[NewcomerDC]

My mom's loving the marathon so far. Wonder if they're gonna stick around for the rest of '09?

Nice to see Lil' Sniffles get some airtime again.

[Speedy Boris]

"Fresh Hare" is still one of my favorite Freleng Bugs outings and it's a crying shame it hasn't been remastered yet for a Golden Collection, especially since the ending hasn't been seen on TV in years. We can only hope for 2009.

"The Wabbit Who Came to Supper" is a favorite of mine, too. I always love the scene where Bugs steps out of the shower, humming a note, then tunes himself on the piano and goes back into the shower. :D

[Don_East]

Racketeer Rabbit, that's one I haven't seen in years. I find it funny that CN puts gun edits in their modern cartoons. Yet are completely comfortable with Bugs Bunny being held at gun point.

[Zen Man]

Cause Bugs is untouchable. :p

[Galaxy 9000]

I'm enjoying the episodes that they picked for this marathon.



I never really cared for sniffles that much, maybe because I saw the Chuck Jones version?

[Jave]

I never really cared for sniffles that much, maybe because I saw the Chuck Jones version?Well, the Chuck Jones version was the only version.

[Zen Man]

The Bluebeard short is one of my favs and I think it was the only one directed by Arthur Davis.

[K2323]

Epic.. Truly epic. This is a proud moment. Let's just hope it brings in enough for CN to atleast consider airing Looney Tunes regularly. This could be the path to the eventual return of quality programming.

[Galaxy 9000]

I have never seen granny in the style shes in the current episode.

[K2323]

I have never seen granny in the style shes in the current episode.
IE a young lady?

[Galaxy 9000]

IE a young lady?


Yes.

[K2323]

Yes.
I dunno, I don't think that's Granny, but I've seen one or two epis like that, the older ones.

[warnerbroman]

I hate to say this about todays generation, but....

"Kids meet the Looney Tunes!"

I'm enjoying this marathon though as its been a long time coming. if this fails I will be ashamed of this gen

[D Dubbs]

Too bad I don't have cable at home anymore, otherwise I'd try to watch the marathon as much as possible.

[warnerbroman]

LOL the year 2000

smellevision replaces television?!?!?

[Mr. Wednesday]

Hmm. Great to see an Elmer Fudd short. Haven't seen him in ages.

And that sheriff with the mustache. Was Yosemite Sam made before this cartoon, or is this guy a prototype of him?

[PF9]

this guy is a prototype, I read on wikipedia

[Galaxy 9000]

The one where the little bird wants to eat foghorn is on now.

[K2323]

The one where the little bird wants to eat foghorn is on now.
I remember the first time I saw this one.

[Kazuya Prower]

This is Foghorn Leghorn's first appearance.

[warnerbroman]

I am watching the on where bugs faces the crusher

[Kazuya Prower]

I a watchin the onw where bugs faces the crusher

That aired about an hour or two ago where I'm at.

[K2323]

That aired about an hour or two ago where I'm at.
Same, I just finished one with Tweety and Granny and such. And then it went to a batman commercial.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Now, I'm at the one where Porky's farming chickens.

[chdr]

Wow, hearing that Powerhouse theme song again brings back so many memories...

[K2323]

Now, I'm at the one where Porky's farming chickens.
Same here.

[Kazuya Prower]

Now they're showing "Swooner Crooner" where farmer Porky tries to get his hens to lay eggs.

[Racattack!Force]

I'm watching "Odorable Kitty" right now.

[NewcomerDC]

Now they're showing "Swooner Crooner" where farmer Porky tries to get his hens to lay eggs.
As Franky, the singing rooster was signing in that can, why did I get the feeling that the "Apple Sauce" name was photoshopped on it?

[Mugsy]

If the ratings do fail I also will be ashamed of not only this generation but every generation. Even though LT has never been in my favorite circle of cartoons they are classic to me and to others and even though I'd never buy them on DVD, I would watch them if they were on tv everyday....

[NewcomerDC]

Kinda makes me feel that they won't be on except for today since the commercials been saying that this event would be for one night only.

[warnerbroman]

That aired about an hour or two ago where I'm at.thats because I have a DVR

I went to sleep

[Dub]

It is so refreshing to see Looney Tunes on television that has doesn't have ANYTHING to do with cutesy-poo babies or contrived and terrible action shows.

[chdr]

Kinda makes me feel that they won't be on except for today since the commercials been saying that this event would be for one night only....if they don't get good ratings. CN themselves said that this is a test run, and that they are willing to air LT again if the ratings are good.

[NewcomerDC]

...if they don't get good ratings. CN themselves said that this is a test run, and that they are willing to air LT again if the ratings are good.
NICE. I wouldn't mind seeing them if only the LT will delay any other rerun spots for TDI, 6Teen, and Johnny Test.

[warnerbroman]

...if they don't get good ratings. CN themselves said that this is a test run, and that they are willing to air LT again if the ratings are good.how did you know that?!

[Kazuya Prower]

"Nasty Quacks" is on. IMO, this is one of the best Daffy cartoons.

[Mugsy]

Kinda makes me feel that they won't be on except for today since the commercials been saying that this event would be for one night only.


Yeah, it's probably just a 1 day event. *sigh*...

Well I will remember it fondly :)

[chdr]

how did you know that?!From Jon Cooke, owner of GoldenAgeCartoons.com...

I have been told that this marathon is a ONE-TIME SPECIAL EVENT and that viewership of this stunt will determine if CN will do more with the Looney Tunes in 2009.

[K2323]

...if they don't get good ratings. CN themselves said that this is a test run, and that they are willing to air LT again if the ratings are good.
Orly? What's your source? O_O

Edit: I see your post now.

[chdr]

^^^ Jon Cooke of GoldenAgeCartoons.com

[Speedy Boris]

"Nasty Quacks" is on. IMO, this is one of the best Daffy cartoons. Yeah, Nasty Quacks is awesome. One of Tashlin's best. I made a thread about it at GAC (http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=10282) a while back.

[J!!!]

Daffie had duckies:confused: hmm what a weird show and short

[K2323]

Odd, Bugs has a brother George. Do I sense a bit of fanfiction? George Bunny anyone?

[Ishtar]

Odd, Bugs has a brother George. Do I sense a bit of fanfiction? George Bunny anyone?
It's a reference to Liberace, who had a brother named George. The same quote was said in "The Three Little Bobs".

[warnerbroman]

Odd, Bugs has a brother George. Do I sense a bit of fanfiction? George Bunny anyone?and a wife

Ah. Interesting.

Lol.


"I'd like to see him get in here now.. Watch where you're pointing that gun!"

[Galaxy 9000]

Bugs looked like the spinach man at the end of the last short.

[Antiyonder]

the

noods would be awesome too

What does W.C.'s comment on Spider-Man have to do with this thread.

[K2323]

Yo Semmity Sam!

[warnerbroman]

I hope that ToonHeads returns with this success or Bugs and Daffy show

[Galaxy 9000]

Is this the first Sam short?

[warnerbroman]

What does W.C.'s comment on Spider-Man have to do with this thread.*rereads* post:eek::sweat:I...don't...know.....but I meant loony toon noods *oo*

[sag_2002]

Ah, the old "I dare ya to step across this line" gag.

[chdr]

"Sometimes my conscience bothers me... but not this time!" *pulls mattress away*

Classic Bugs.

[Cartoonzrule]

When they aired Mouse Merized Cat earlier, the Rochester scene was left intact, and I have it on my DVR!

[Blackstar]

Is this the first Sam short?

No. Yosemite Sam's 1st official appearance was in the short Hare Trigger (1945, Directed by Friz Freleng).

[Ishtar]

Ha, love Back Alley Oproar. I find the "Person is annoyed he can't get sleep" plots pretty amusing. I remember this was a remake of an earlier ep, where it was Porky instead of Elmer.

[Cartoonzrule]

Ha, love Back Alley Oproar. I find the "Person is annoyed he can't get sleep" plots pretty amusing. I remember this was a remake of an earlier ep, where it was Porky instead of Elmer.

That cartoon was "Notes to You" in 1941, which I've never seen in it's original before. I see a redrawn version on a lot of PD tapes that look reall crappy. I wish they could have aired a CC version of Notes to You today.

[Dub]

Ha, love Back Alley Oproar. I find the "Person is annoyed he can't get sleep" plots pretty amusing. I remember this was a remake of an earlier ep, where it was Porky instead of Elmer.


Actually - even though "Oproar" is the more famous short, it is the one that's actually a remake. The original was a 1941 black and white Porky Pig cartoon called "Notes to You". Gotta say, the fat cat with the soprano voice gag has me in stitches every time I see it.


EDIT: Oh gawd - Book Revue. This one is just manic.

[Mini Garbonzo]

"Sometimes my conscience bothers me... but not this time!" *pulls mattress away*

Classic Bugs.
"I know this defies the laws of gravity, but, you see, I never studied law!" :p

[chdr]

So they'll edit the stork, but not the drunken cuckoo with a bottle of hard liquor in his hand?

[warnerbroman]

"Nasty Quacks" is on. IMO, this is one of the best Daffy cartoons.now I am seeing it

[Ishtar]

Book Revue is definitely a classic. Glad they decided to show it. I like it because it's just so random.

[Cartoonzrule]

The Uncle Tom scene is still cut out!

[chdr]

I like Book Revue. It's one of the more... interesting LT shorts.

[Ishtar]

The Uncle Tom scene is still cut out!
Yet they reverted an edit that referred to Uncle Tom's Cabin in an earlier ep today. Go figure.

[Zen Man]

I noticed different mentions of 'Frankie' in the last few shorts. Were they referencing Frank Sinatra?

[Cartoonzrule]

I'm surprised that they aired "What's Cookin' Doc earlier. Wasn't that banned during the infamous "June Bugs Marathon" in 2001?

I noticed different mentions of 'Frankie' in the last few shorts. Were they referencing Frank Sinatra?
Yes they were.

Wow! Those cuts were so obvoius that it wasn't funny! They only aired 3 minutes of this!

[David Gerstein]

Wow! Those cuts were so obvoius that it wasn't funny! They only aired 3 minutes of this!Of what? I've lost track of which cartoon you're referring to...

[Mr. Wednesday]

Of what? I've lost track of which cartoon you're referring to...
The one with Pepe Le Pew chasing a cat, then the situation was reversed with the cat chasing him.

[Zekehawk]

Of what? I've lost track of which cartoon you're referring to...
I think he's reffering to Odorable-Kitty.

[Cartoonzrule]

Of what? I've lost track of which cartoon you're referring to...

The Pepe Le Pew one. Not only they cut the whole entire pantomime scene when the cat is in the sound proof booth, but they also cut Pepe' remark of how the cat was jumping out of the window to prove their love.

[Ishtar]

Watching all of these shorts again, I'm starting to look back at "The Big Game", CN's mock Super Bowl like duel between 2 cartoon characters. God, I miss those.
Edit: Old Promo for Bugs Vs. Daffy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W3yk1UlNAk

[Kitschensyngk]

No matter how many times I watch a Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon, it NEVER gets old.

If these aren't back on CN for good after today, is there a chance we could see them on Boomerang?

[warnerbroman]

Watching all of these shorts again, I'm starting to look back at "The Big Game", CN's mock Super Bowl like duel between 2 cartoon characters. God, I miss those.I can top that I remember them on TBS in the afternoons

[Comics_the_QB]

This is such a great marathon. There's some great Bugs, Daffy, and Wile E. Cyote shorts.

No matter how many times I watch a Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon, they NEVER get old.
Agreed! BTW, have we seen a Marvin the Martian sketch yet? I hope I didn't miss it...

[Cartoonzrule]

This is such a great marathon. There's some great Bugs, Daffy, and Wile E. Cyote shorts.

Mabey it's just me, but have we seen a Marvin the Martian sketch yet?

Nope not yet.

[sag_2002]

This is such a great marathon. There's some great Bugs, Daffy, and Wile E. Cyote shorts.

Mabey it's just me, but have we seen a Marvin the Martian sketch yet?

Not yet. We've got two coming in the last hour, though.

[Comics_the_QB]

Not yet. We've got two coming in the last hour, though.

Hoorah! :D

[Cartoonzrule]

Damn, no Speedy Gonzales cartoons? Thought CN/Boomerang decided to end the ban of those.
Speedy Gonzales (his second appearence) is airing around 4.

[Dub]

The Pepe Le Pew one. Not only they cut the whole entire pantomime scene when the cat is in the sound proof booth, but they also cut Pepe' remark of how the cat was jumping out of the window to prove their love.

It seems they aired the old ABC "Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show" print rather than the one they used to have which was complete. I was afraid something like that might happen given CN hasn't aired the Looney Tunes since half past forever, but I'm glad the ones that ABC had the rights to are airing all the same.

[K2323]

"Ahahah.. Forgot to open the door."

Classic Bugs.
XD that was my favorite scene

[warnerbroman]

xD

"And so, having re-re-disposed of the monster, exited our... her.. oe *gawk*"
"so she mechanical"

[Ishtar]

I just realized, why aren't they airing Rabbit Fire later today? That's one of the best Looney Tunes shorts ever. Sure they are airing one of it's sequels, Rabbit Seasoning, but it doesn't top the original.

[Cartoonzrule]

Sleeping pills gag intact. That's a first.

Classic Bugs.

Which episode was this scene in?

[Ishtar]

Ha, Daffy coming back to the hotel room as if he's had a wild night, and Porky just wants some peace and quiet.

[Dub]

You know guys - I just thought of something.

CN used to use the Toonzone boards to gauge what to cut and what not to cut concerning the Looney Tunes. If this marathon is succesful, I think you all better stop discussing edits or cut scenes directly just to be on the safe side.

Good point. It's been proven they've done this before with other shows.

[Kitschensyngk]

Ah, yes, the overactive imagination of Ralph Phillips. Who could forget?

[Deadman]

man, these shorts are great. this is one of the best marathons cn has ever played.

[nakak]

Ah, yes, the overactive imagination of Ralph Phillips. Who could forget?
And at least 30 years before "Calvin and Hobbes" began, too. :)

[tb4000]

Ah, yes, the overactive imagination of Ralph Phillips. Who could forget?

I suspect he is the ancestor of the Randy Beaman kid from Animaniacs.

[warnerbroman]

So they care about our horrible suggestions, but not our good ones? :confused:
it's like they hate us

[Kitschensyngk]

Dogpile on the rabbit!

[DarthGonzo]

"Maybe it's a gy-raffe!"

God I love "A Hare Grows in Manhattan".

[K2323]

Lol, the sign saying

He went that way <<<

[Kitschensyngk]

I like the Egyptian cigarette sign in this one. I love how the last Egyptian character flashes on screen and points to Bugs just as we see him.

[Ishtar]

I like this Honeymooners parody. What's funny, is that The Honeymooners is the show the Flintstones are based off of, and Mel Blanc is voicing the Ed Norton parody. Ed Norton is the character Barney Rubble is based off of, which of course Mel Blanc also voices.

[Galaxy 9000]

Meh, one time only looney tune characters never appeal to me.

Jack Benny liked the Honeymooners so much that it led to another cartoon "The Mouse That Jack Built." The cast of Jack Benny's show did the voices of the mouse versions of themselves (one of the few times actors other than Mel Blanc recieved onscreen credit).

Supposidly the only payment Jack asked for was a copy of the cartoon.

Actually on The Honeymousers, Daws Butler does the voice for Ralph and Ed.

[Galaxy 9000]

The current short isn't on the list on the first page...

[warnerbroman]

I love the Flintstones parody

[Ishtar]

I love the Flintstones parody
Correction, The Honeymooners. Like I said in my post, The Flintstones was based off that show.

[Mickialla]

Woke up at 6 to watch the marathon and so far it's wonderful. The shorts still hold up so well. I'm disappointed by the lack of Marvin the Martian and Speedy Gonzalez shorts (though I think there's one or two Marvin shorts airing later on), but this is truly amazing.

Also, does anyone know what was said in "Porky in Wackyland" by the small yellow thing when the Three-headed guy was hitting himself. It sounded to me like he said "His mom saw a sign for a porn broker" or something along the lines. Is this true or am I just deaf??

[Kitschensyngk]

If Slick Hare has taught me nothing else, it's that I should NEVER hit Humphrey Bogart in the face with a coconut custard pie with whipped cream.

[Megaman X]

"You know what I think? I THINK THAT'S THE WABBIT!"

Me: NO WAI!!!:eek:

[el blacklobo]

This makes me happy to see Bugs and Friends do what they do best again!

Also I pray this gets great ratings!

[warnerbroman]

Correction, The Honeymooners. Like I said in my post, The Flintstones was based off that show.you triggered my trap!

I knew it was that :p

[Kitschensyngk]

The Great Piggy Bank Robbery. Classic Bob Clampett.

His piggy bank got swiped. Now it's personal.

How many phones does he have in his office?

[Jave]

It's amazing how "Slick Hare" is still so freaking hilarious, considering it's possibly one of the most dated Looney Tunes. I love the fake out gag in the end when Humphrey Bogart pulls a handkerchief and wipes his forehead.

[Galaxy 9000]

A cameo of porky pig as the driver.

[Jave]

"BATMAN!"

I just love that.

[Ishtar]

"BATMAN!"

I just love that.
Yeah, me too. Also, what Looney Tunes gag is as timeless as "Eat at Joe's"?

[warnerbroman]

"BATMAN!"

I just love that.that like the only reference to him

[DarthGonzo]

All right! The first Roadrunner cartoon!

[Matthew Williams]

This one is one of my personal favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons.

"One banana cream pie please!"
"One banana cream pie comin' up! Pick up pie!"
"Roger!"
"Your pie, sir!"

I don't think the references play as well now but it's still hilarious.

Great Clampett short coming on now - actually this whole lineup for today is great. I'm happy with how Cartoon Network is handling this - little visual clutter, smart promotion, little yelling at the viewer. It's almost like I'm watching CN circa 2000.

Yeah, these are dirty, edited prints... but I'll watch dirty, edited prints if it means they're on television. Looney Tunes are a national treasure and shouldn't be relegated to expensive collector-targeted DVD sets.

[Zen Man]

Ah the very first Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote cartoon.

[Galaxy 9000]

This should have been the first road runner short that they showed.

[Raditz]

Ah the very first Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote cartoon.
Actually one aired earlier this morning, but that was at like 7 AM.

EDIT: OH WAIT! Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant at first

[Matthew Williams]

Yeah, me too. Also, what Looney Tunes gag is as timeless as "Eat at Joe's"?
"Screwy, Ain't It" would be a top contender, I think, but that's just as much a general Tex Avery thing as well...

[Galaxy 9000]

The painted wall is the best thing he tries to do to road runner in this episode.


Too bad Johnny Test ruined it in one of its episodes.

[creativerealms]

Well Marvin really was not in many shorts anyways just five or six. And Speedy at least we are getting on.

Plus those two were later additions to Looney Toons, and Cartoon network is not airing many of the later shorts this time around so it's understandable.

[DarthGonzo]

I love the bumper they just showed of Granny pretending to machine gun Hector the bulldog. So random.

[Kitschensyngk]

Well known cartoon gag.

Predator paints fake road leading up to fake tunnel on cliff wall hoping prey will run into it.

Prey follows fake road, comes up to fake tunnel and runs through it as if it were real.

Predator attempts the very same thing and runs face first into cliff wall.

Bonus points if something like a truck comes out of fake tunnel and runs predator over.

[Galaxy 9000]

Does granny really sound like a chipmunk in these early shorts?


Just asking because I saw a bit where shes talking to the dog when the commercial came on.

[sag_2002]

Le Pew! Pepe's back!

[Linkpre]

Just want to say thanks to Cartoon Network for this. Though I know this'll probably end up a one time event, thanks for bringin' em back for at least one day.

Cartoon Network did alot of stuff in 2008 that I didn't really like, but I'm glad Lonney Tunes gets one more shot.

[Kitschensyngk]

That kitty just can't avoid a stripe of white paint down the back, can she?

I'm afraid that's a "skunk avec pew", dude.

[Mugsy]

in this short if you slow down frame-byframe the death of the villain in the closet you se a woman with the biggest cleavege in any short

[Kitschensyngk]

"Julio! Julio! Herefore art me, Romiet!"

I love Mel Blanc's French accent.

[Zen Man]

This marathon is proof that the classics never die. No matter how much the corporate suits try to bury them.

[Dub]

FEED THE KITTY

Gawd - anything with Marc Antony and Pussyfoot is just ADORABLE.


On the opposite end of the spectrum - it's a shame we didn't get Chow Hound :)

[Racattack!Force]

This marathon is proof that the classics never die. No matter how much the corporate suits try to bury them.Who said they wanted the shorts dead?

[RSNaco]

I've been watching this all day and taping since the beginning and this is simply glorious to behold. Just being able to see these all again on normal TV is nothing short of awesome. Also, the last 2 hours are going to be a nonstop cavalcade of some of the best Looney Tunes of all. I just hope enough people are watching today so this can get good ratings.

[J!!!]

That dog is a kiss up eh.

[warnerbroman]

ah the short where that kitten in on every girl shirt to rival tweety

[Zen Man]

Who said they wanted the shorts dead?

I guess based on how they've neglected them the last few years.

BTW, Pussyfoot and Marc Anthony! Haven't seen them in a long time.

[warnerbroman]

Who said they wanted the shorts dead?the animaniacs opening proves that

[Jave]

Marc Anthony's expressions alone make "Feed The Kitty" such an amazing cartoon.

I mean, just look at him. :p

[Taco Wiz]

I wanted to be up at midnight, and also up at 6:00 AM. I stayed up all night, and fell asleep after I Love to Singa. I missed Porky in Wackyland. :crying: Ah well. It's very unlikely, but I guy can dream...

Cartoon Network Executive: Look at the ratings from this marathon! Reruns will now be run on Har Har Thursdays! It could be a lead-in to Chowder!

I want this show to become popular again.

[Mini Garbonzo]

"Feed the Kitty" reminds me alot of a certain Pixar movie.

[RSNaco]

The scene where the lady gives Marc Anthony the cat-shaped cookie... I didn't know whether to be sad or bust a gut.

[Zen Man]

Scaredy Cat is another good one. Sylvester is gold in this one.

[Doz Hewson]

Woke up at 6 to watch the marathon and so far it's wonderful. The shorts still hold up so well. I'm disappointed by the lack of Marvin the Martian and Speedy Gonzalez shorts (though I think there's one or two Marvin shorts airing later on), but this is truly amazing.

What was said was: "His ma saw a sign for a pawn broker".

[Zen Man]

"Pussycats is da kwaziest people." LOL

[sag_2002]

"AHA! Hold it right there! (Pronoun trouble)."

[Jave]

Did "Scaredy Cat" have its original title card? Or was it the Blue Ribbon version?

And boy Rabbit Seasoning. "Would you like to shoot me now or wait 'til we get home?"

[warnerbroman]

"Pussycats is da kwaziest people." LOL


that a old gag too


"so shoot me now!"

[Comics_the_QB]

Daffy's faces never get old. Never.

Rabbit Seasoning has to be one of my favorites.

[Zen Man]

"You're dispicable."

[Mini Garbonzo]

Ah yes, the ever so famous "Rabbit Seasoning". How I've missed thee.

"Would you like to shoot you now, or wait till he gets home?"

[ChokeyChicken]

"I say he does have to shoot me now. So shoot me now!"

Ha classic!

[sag_2002]

Did "Scaredy Cat" have its original title card? Or was it the Blue Ribbon version?

Blue Ribbon.

Now up, High Diving Hare, my favorite Bugs vs. Sam short.

[strawberryjuice]

man I really miss these shorts

[Mini Garbonzo]

Only the "Looney Tunes" can base an entire short of a high-diving act, and yet still make it hilarious.

[Mr Flintstone]

Great marathon. I've been watching since the beginning. The only thing(and this is nitpicking)is that they're running too many Bugs Bunny cartoons. I think RR, Froghorn Leghorn and Pepe are under represented.

[Taco Wiz]

"Feed the Kitty" reminds me alot of a certain Pixar movie.
Let me guess....

IT WAS WALL-E!

Eh, probably not. All I know is that it's definitely not Monsters Incorporated.

*Pete Doctor gives me a hundred bucks*

[Comics_the_QB]

"Oh, I forgot to fill the tub full of water!"

*Throws water over the side*

:lol:

[sag_2002]

Tweety, Sylvester and Bugs get the spotlight this hour. With the exception of the upcoming Speedy Gonzalez, every cartoon this hour stars one of the three.

[Jave]

Tweety, Sylvester and Bugs get the spotlight this hour. With the exception of the upcoming Speedy Gonzalez, every cartoon this hour stars one of the three.Actually, Sylvester is in "Speedy Gonzales"

"Speedy Gonzalez"? I thought he wasn't going to be in the marathon...

[defunctzombie]

It's awesome to watch these again. Luckily I turned it on in time to see Hair-Raising Hare. That's my favorite.

[chdr]

"Speedy Gonzalez"? I thought he wasn't going to be in the marathon...

I believe this is the only short he will be appearing in.

[Dub]

Speedy Gonzales!!!! :D :D :D


MAN how I have missed this guy. One of my absolute favorite Looney Tunes characters growing up. I would kill to see him in regular rotation again :D

[Kitschensyngk]

Ah. Speedy Gonzales. The one they took off because they were afraid he was promoting Mexican stereotypes even though he was quite popular on Cartoon Network Latin America.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Ah. Speedy Gonzales. The one they took off because they were afraid he was promoting Mexican stereotypes even though he was quite popular on Cartoon Network Latin America.
Yeah, it's great to see him again.

[Galaxy 9000]

At least they put at least 1 of speedy's shorts in the marathon

[Mickialla]

Mouse #1: Speedy Gonzales es friends with my sister!
Mouse #2: Speedy Gonzales es friends with EVERYONE'S sister!

LOL

[Zen Man]

Speedy owns all.

[K2323]

Ol' Rabbit Hood.

[Mugsy]

Ah, very good to see Speedy again, he is probably my 3rd favorite LT character behind Bugs and Wiley :)

I do hope CN decided to put LT on at some point during the day, preferably mornings or early afternoons...

[Zen Man]

"Oh.... I HATE myself!!! I DO! I DO! I DO!"

That get's me everytime. :D

[Mini Garbonzo]

Ah, very good to see Speedy again, he is probably my 3rd favorite LT character behind Bugs and Wiley :)

I do hope CN decided to put LT on at some point during the day, preferably mornings or early afternoons...
If the ratings do very well, then maybe...

[Comics_the_QB]

Ol' Rabbit Hood.

Love this short. It was featured in my Blu-ray copy of Robin Hood. :anime:

"ARISE!"

[sag_2002]

"Arise, Sir Loin of Beef!"

Now we come to another of my favorite Bugs cartoons, Long-Haired Hare.

[K2323]

"That's the nice, fat opera singer!"
Then the Opera Singer's head sinks when he's sinking.

[warnerbroman]

ah the opera one my fave

leopold!!

[Matthew Hunter]

If this wonderful marathon doesn't draw more viewers for 14 hours than Cartoon Network has had for the last two YEARS, there is no hope for this country.

I'm going to remember this for a long time.

"Birds Anonymous" is airing as I type this. Friz Freleng's Oscar-winning Tweety and Sylvester classic.

[nakak]

I don't think I saw "Rabbit Hood" before. Well, with 1001 shorts made during LT's 39 year run (1930-1969), there're bound to be a few that I missed.

I loved it, of course (Chuck Jones can do no wrong.) I laughed out at the part where Bugs tricks the sheriff into buying a property on king's private garden, starts building a house over it and just as he was almost done, he realizes that he's been tricked.

[K2323]

LOL
"Just control yourself!"

[sag_2002]

We come to hour #12. We've just seen Broomstick Bunny, and here comes Wearing of the Grin (one of my favorite Porky shorts).

[Jave]

"Would I turn on the gas if my buddy Rocky was in there?"
"You might, rabbit. You might."

[K2323]

"Would I turn on the gas if my buddy Rocky was in there?"
"You might, rabbit. You might."
LOL Classic.

[J. B. Warner]

"Bugs and Thugs" is a classic in my house. I sold my mom on this marathon when I told her that the "You might, rabbit, you might" one was in it.

[DarthGonzo]

"Yoo hoo! Mister pie-rate!"

[creativerealms]

I don't know why people were surprised a Speedy short aired. He is a fan favorite and that redicuous "Speedy ban" was lifted before Looney toons left TV.

[Silverstar]

Does anyone know what was said in "Porky in Wackyland" by the small yellow thing when the Three-headed guy was hitting himself. It sounded to me like he said "His mom saw a sign for a porn broker" or something along the lines. Is this true or am I just deaf??

The little yellow thing says to the audience, "He (the creature with the 3 heads) says his mother was scared by a pawn brokers' sign." Which, BTW, looks like this:


http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/east/series10/week_six/balls203.jpg

[Matthew Hunter]

They're really pulling out all the stops. Every cartoon they've shown has been one of the best. Nice to see my favorite Pepe Lew Pew short, "Louvre Come Back To Me", made the cut.

The Tasmanian Devil's on the loose! Run! Run! Run for your life!

[Galaxy 9000]

Finally, a Taz short.

[Dub]

"What for you bury me in the cold, cold ground?" :D:D:D

[Comics_the_QB]

Finally, a Taz short.

I know. I had actually forgotten how small he was... :sweat:

[K2323]

Operation: Rabbit
I haven't seen this one ;o
