The Chuck Jones Show???

[Jack]

"Ghost Wanted" 1940, Red-White-blue rings, Merrie Melodies, dubbed version:
Tex Avery does the voice of the large ghost and steals the show in this fun little cartoon.

"The Brave Little Bat" 1941, Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie, dubbed version:
Sniffles will assume the chatty personality of Batty (a dutch version of Sniffles with wings) later on...

"Bedevilled Rabbit!!!?????????????????????????" 1957, orange rings, Merrie melodie:
ANOTHER McKimson cartoon??? They can't make TWO mistakes in the span of a couple weeks, can they???

I noticed their blunder too! C'mon, CN!! Get with it!!

[Patrick McCart]

:rolleyes:

CN should just admit that they wanted to have a Robert McKimson show.

Can you say "Secret Desire"?

Truth to tell, I would enjoy a Robert McKimson show more than the Chuck Jones Show. Chuck's cartoons seem to be in heavier rotation and I think Robert deserves a turn in the spotlight.

Or CN could change the name the name of the Chuck Jones Show to the Chuck & Bob Show and keep their format of two Jones and one McKimson short. I could understand these errors a bit if these were Blue Ribbon cartoons without their original credits.

I welcome the CN programmer to contact me with the playlist for upcoming Jones' shows to make sure they're 100% Chuck if that's their goal.

hopes they show one of Jones' great Foghorn Leghorn cartoons next week

I agree with PlopKat, I'd like a McKimson show, and I suppose I wouldn't mind if they made a format of two Jones and one McKimson cartoon, but then they would have to rename the show and get new bumpers. Maybe they could superimpose Foghorn, Hippety Hopper, Sylvester Jr., the Gambling Bug, and McKimson's Cat into the opening credits.

Though, if they renamed it "The Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson Show (or how about "The Jones/McKimson Comedy Hour?)," they would probably screw up again, only then they would start showing those great McKimson-directed Yosemite Sam and Sylvester and Tweety shorts...

Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was going crazy when I flipped over in the middle of the toon and saw Taz.

"Ghost Wanted", 1940.
A very funny cartoon...but...if that's a little kid ghost, doesn't that mean a little kid died? :( It's the same d*** thing that's kept me from fully enjoying Casper all these years.

"Bedevilled Rabbit", 1957.
Ooooooo-kay. Either someone buggered up royally with a McKimson short, or Jones had a hand in this one but was uncredited.

If they do, their audience will be reduced to disoriented Soap fans.

The Robert McKimson Show would be cool, though. Go Bob!!!

I wholeheartedly agree. I also think that CN has already proved in more than 1 way that they don't really care about The Chuck Jones Show.

[Jack]

They proved that they don't care about the CJ show by not having any info in it. It's really not that different from Bugs and Daffy...

It wouldn't be hard to add information about the cartoons, even if it's old stuff toon heads like us know by heart.

let's see, for "Ghost Wanted," they could have mentioned Tex Avery's voice acting in this, and other cartoons (citing examples and using clips)

"The Brave Little Bat" -mention how Sniffles assumed the chatty personality of Batty later on (citing examples and using clips)

"Bedevilled Rabbit" -mention how they are incompetent and messed up by not showing the right cartoon (citing examples ("Gone Batty" ring a bell?) and using clips)...

I doubt they would care about a Bob McKimson show.
