Lots of editing today. In addition to the "Russian Roulette" gag and Sylvester's Rochester bit, I think I noticed an edit at the end of "Who Scent You?" as well - today the cartoon hit a freeze frame as Pepe hung the "This is the" sign on Le Life Boat. I could have sworn that in the original, he ducked back down below the edge of the boat before the iris out. Can anyone confirm this?

Well, I have this cartoon on video. I didn't notice that, but I'll check again. Besides my copy was from a show on Cartoon Network, so they could have made the edit there as well. I don't know.

We're still not seeing too many pre-1948 cartoons, I've noticed. "I Taw a Puddy Tat" was released in 1948 exactly. They really don't seem to go beyond that point anymore these days.

Yeah, the limited playlist, combined with the amount of Golden Collection-included cartoons each week, content edits, the new format of "The Looney Tunes Show" (no bridging sequences and the inclusion of commercials between EVERY cartoon), and that God-awful logo in the corner all prompted me to stop taping "Looney Tunes" on video one day after I started.
