I went to a record/cd show with my dad today, and a guy was selling cartoon tapes! They were bootlegs, and here's what he had:
The Bugs Bunny Show
The Road Runner Show
The Woody Woodpecker Show
Terrytoons: Assorted Programs
The Heckle and Jeckle Show
1st Cartoons
B&W Popeye Cartoons-2
The Rocky Show-#1, 2, 3, 4
Racial Toons
I think that's what he had. The Popeye tape had nothing special on it, just B&W cartoons you'd see on LNB&W. The Racial tape was pretty much a copy of the Uncensored Cartoons VHS tape. As you may of guessed, 1st Cartoons had the first appearances of many characters, including Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Baby Huey, Little Audrey, and a few others. The Assorted Terrytoons tape had four episodes which were DEPUTY DAWG, HECTOR HEATHCOATE, MIGHTY MOUSE PLAYHOUSE, and FARMER AL FALFA. Well, here's what I chose (I only could afford two), with their covers and a review of them.
The Woody Woodpecker Show

This contained a color episode called "Spook-a-Nanny". The plot was about Woody and Walter Lantz preparing a Halloween party, and Woody having to blow up millions of balloons. The only cartune in this episode was "Under the Counter Spy". I guess there was supposed to be a second cartune, but it got cut off some how. Lantz decides to have Woody go to another Halloween party, where a whole bunch of Lantz characters try to scare Woody. The characters were Chilly Willy, Smedley, Wally Walrus, Knothead, Splinter, Andy Panda, Buzz Buzzard, Space Mouse, Homer Pigeon, Sugarfoot, and Cuddles. These guys' voices were really awful, they sounded like Hanna-Barbera rip-offs (possibly because Daws Butler provided voice for more than half of them). Woody gets hit with constant things, pies, pumpkins, so Woody dresses as a ghost with a ghost band resembling the Beatles. Woody's disguise is revealed, and all the characters do a wacky "Spook-a-Nanny" dance. There was also a thing called Woody's Newsreel, which is educational (seriously)! :eek:
The second episode on this was untitled and was in B&W. The cartunes in this one were "The Reckless Driver", "The Dippy Diplomat", "The Bandmaster", and "Banquet Busters". I guess the soup spitting scene of "Driver" was even edited in the 50s. :rolleyes: The most interesting thing about this episode was that "The Bandmaster" had a different title card than my previous copy. It seems like this one was originally a Musical Minature, since it had something about "With the Delightful Tune of..."
The rest of this tape was filled up with color copies (with full titles)of "Woody Woodpecker", "Banquet Busters" (again), "Born to Peck", "The Redwood Sap", "The Coo-Coo Bird", "Well Oiled", "Ace in the Hole", and "Arts and Flowers".

This was all in B&W, but still pretty cool. It had three episodes on it. They were
Fist Episode-"Sugar and Spies", "A Street Cat Named Sylvester", and "Birds of a Father"
Second Episode-"A Pizza Tweety Pie", "Gee Whiz-z-z-z!", (forgot the last title)
Third Episode-"Gee Whiz-z-z-z!" (what again?), "Ain't She Tweet", "Mother Was a Rooster"
Very cool videos, too bad I didn't buy the Bugs tapes...
