"Looney Tunes New Year Marathon" - Talkback

[Zen Man]

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

Yeah one of the rare times Wile spoke.

[J!!!]

Oh goody in just about an hour 7 minutes we get to the greatest Looney tunes ever...... Rhasbody Rabbit

[creativerealms]

This one is one of my favorites. it was nice seeing Wile E outside of a Road Runner cartoon.

[Ishtar]

Yeah one of the rare times Wile spoke.
I remember being pretty surprised seeing these shorts where he actually talked. Surprisingly, I still found them to be pretty decent. You also wouln't have considered Wil E. an intelligent speaking "genius", so it was kind of funny discovering that at first.

[Comics_the_QB]

Did we mention that Wile E. was a genius? The double sided dynamite stick has to be a personal favorite. ;)

(Where is Tucson, BTW?)

[Galaxy 9000]

Its good to have a wile short without the road runner every now and then.

[K2323]

Really, seeing this short makes you kind of sympathetic for him.

[sag_2002]

"Wil E. Coyote... Suuuuuuuuuuper Genius!"

[Bloody Marquis]

Really, seeing this short makes you kind of sympathetic for him.
Well, I find Wile E. more sympathetic when he doesn't talk.

[Ishtar]

Now if only they could air one of those shorts with the sheep dog, where he went under the name "Ralph Wolf".

[K2323]

"And remember.. Mud spelled backwards is Dum!"
Not true spelling of it, but eh xD

[Dub]

"And remember, mud spelled backwards is dum!"

That used to always have me laughing back in the day, given how casually he says it. XD

[Galaxy 9000]

That man is way too short.

[Mugsy]

One of these days Wiley is going to get that blasted Road Runner, I swear!! JK, but I can only dream....

I love those shorts...

[ChokeyChicken]

I love that Taz short they showed.

"Flattery will get you nowhere!"

That Wile E. Coyote one was great too. Nice to see him chase after someone else besides the road runner.

[Galaxy 9000]

One of these days Wiley is going to get that blasted Road Runner, I swear!! JK, but I can only dream....

I love those shorts...



He never will, the bad guy never gets his way.

[J. B. Warner]

Looks like we got the edited version of "Baby Buggy Bunny". Oh well, the uncut version's already on DVD anyway ("Some toy!").

[Bloody Marquis]

He never will, the bad guy never gets his way.
Depends on who you think is the bad guy.

[K2323]

He never will, the bad guy never gets his way.
:( If only they made more. But it wouldn't be the same now that like all the original creators are dead.

[DarthGonzo]

Hey, Little Man is on! Oh wait...it's "Baby Buggy Bunny".

[K2323]

"Aw, don't be such a cry baby! After all, 99 years isn't forever!"

And now, a tweety cartoon.

[Galaxy 9000]

Well now its time for a Tweety and Sylvester episode.

[sag_2002]

Man, hour 13 already. Just this one and the next to go.

Now up: Hyde and Go Tweet, the second Jekyll and Hyde-style cartoon in the marathon, and my favorite of the Tweety series.

[K2323]

Well now its time for a Tweety and Sylvester episode.
This one always scared me.

[DarthGonzo]

How come the Jeckyl and Hyde Warner cartoons are always so creepy? :D

[Dub]

The giant Tweety Hyde always reminds me of Franken Berry when I see it...

[Comics_the_QB]

This Tweety short was always a good one. ;)

[Don_East]

You know what I wanna see, a picture of Tweetie Hyde and the Sylvester Hyde from "Dr. Jerkyl's Hide".

[Matthew Williams]

Whoever programmed this marathon deserves major kudos, because it's been nothing but great cartoon after great cartoon. And the progression has been great - Pre-1948s during the day, post-48s towards the afternoon, and the very best in the 7pm hour.

It's like someone at CN sat down and chose 100 of the very best cartoons as if to say "This is what you have been missing. This is why the Looney Tunes should be airing on television."

[Ishtar]

Classic Bugs Vs. Daffy short. First time I remember seeing this was actually during the Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.

[K2323]

If that is the case, that person is a bright star in the darkness of space that the CN Studios has become.

[Kitschensyngk]

I remember two of the gags from Show Biz Bugs were reused in a Porky Pig cartoon--the trained pigeons and the "I can only do it once" gag with nitro glycerine and a lit match. (which apparently was cut)

And look, it's the Those Endearing Young Charms gag...with a xylophone.

[DarthGonzo]

Ouch! That edit was painful!

[Zen Man]

Hmmm they've been omitting a lot of the suicide gags.

[sag_2002]

Hmm... the ending with Daffy performing his suicide stunt is cut. It cuts to the end right after the xylophone gag.

[Don_East]

Ouch! That edit was painful!
I know right, it's worse than the "bucket of gas" edit from SpongeBob. Do they actually think kids would try to do something like that.

[Matthew Hunter]

I missed the ending to "Show Biz Bugs". What did they remove? They used to shorten the number of flammable things Daffy chugged to just the Nitro. Don't tell me they cut MORE...

[RSNaco]

Man, they do that cut of Daffy exploding and follow it up with a cartoon called "Satan's Waitin'"? Ironic much?

[Bloody Marquis]

Man, they do that cut of Daffy exploding and follow it up with a cartoon called "Satan's Waitin'"? Ironic much?
Yeah, the edits are really inconsistent. How are you going to edit a clip of Daffy exploding, but not edit a short where Sylvester gets killed several times?

[PF9]

I missed the ending to "Show Biz Bugs". What did they remove? They used to shorten the number of flammable things Daffy chugged to just the Nitro. Don't tell me they cut MORE...

unfortunately, it's CN's 2003 "Butcher Shop" edit of SBB - the infamous ending was cut completely

[Matthew Hunter]

Ouch. That's just WRONG. "shortened" I can live with. GONE is another thing entirely.

[Matthew Williams]

I missed the ending to "Show Biz Bugs". What did they remove? They used to shorten the number of flammable things Daffy chugged to just the Nitro. Don't tell me they cut MORE...
Basically, the ending. :P

It ends extremely suddenly after the xylophone gag.

[PF9]

Ouch. That's just WRONG. "shortened" I can live with. GONE is another thing entirely.

IMO it's just like removing the scene from Pokemon movie 1 (also from WB) where Ash "dies" and is brought back to life (which thankfully didn't happen)

other edits that would take away a lot would be:
removing the funeral scene from the Futurama episode "The Sting"
removing the scene in Daffy Doodles where Daffy sings "She was an acrobat's daughter" (this may have happened in CT, during a circus ban imposed after a 1944 fire in Hartford, as the song was too much a reminder of the event)
removing the entire "boat race" scene from the Family Guy ep where Lois becomes a model

[RSNaco]

And on top of that, Sylvester dies his last life by getting BLOWN UP BY NITRO as well as those criminals... way to be hypocritical in editing choices, CN.

[Jerry Mouse]

I missed the ending to "Show Biz Bugs". What did they remove? They used to shorten the number of flammable things Daffy chugged to just the Nitro. Don't tell me they cut MORE...
They cut the whole thing!

[Matthew Williams]

...now I feel like I'm in 1996.

They're STILL running the Lots and Lots of Trains ad, which dates back to at least then - but it's DVDs now. (And they didn't change the voiceover - it still says "tapes"!)

And we follow it up with Zoobooks. Holee crap.

[Matthew Hunter]

At least Sylvester can still go to Hell. And Hassan can still chop.

[Ishtar]

Random question, but when was the last time they aired A Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny movie? Because that had the ShowBiz cartoon incorporated into it, so I was wondering if it was edited in that too, last time it aired?

[warnerbroman]

ah the 1 out of 2 "super greedy" daffy cartoons

[sag_2002]

"Hassan CHOP!" One of my all-time favorite LT lines.

[Kitschensyngk]

Ali Baba Bunny. One of my personal favorites.

HASSAN CHOP!!

[SurgeV1]

Come on guys, stop complaining. Be glad you're actually able to watch Looney Tunes on Cable right now.

[Zen Man]

Hassan Chop!

[creativerealms]

Well even some that have an edited version have aired today uncut. it is almost like they are just airing the version they have on them, be it the edited one or not. Makes things much more annoying then it should be. When edits seem random is when they are at their worst.

[Ishtar]

Just felt like stating an opinion of mine, but am I the only one who actually prefers Daffy over Bugs?

[JTurner954]

Looks like they are airing my favorite segments at 7:15.

I honestly don't recall the last time I watched Cartoon Network this much that didn't involve a movie. This was an excellent decision that I hope convinces the powers that be to air more classic cartoons on CN.

[SurgeV1]

Just felt like stating an opinion of mine, but am I the only one who actually prefers Daffy over Bugs?

I do. Bugs is really over rated, and in that episode where they compete on the stage, it sucks seeing Bugs do barely NOTHING to get a response, where Daffy busted his ass and got nothing.

[Dub]

Goofy Daffy maybe, but egotistical greedy Daffy tends to wear on you in too many doses. :)

Not to say he isn't a good character in either iteration though, I just prefer the random WTF HOOHOO Daffy more.

[Matthew Hunter]

Hassan Chop!

Hassan chopped all right...the ending of Show Biz Bugs! OOH that makes me angry.

"Dripalong Daffy" better not have ITS end line cut. It used to.

Aw, DAMNIT!

[Kitschensyngk]

"Lucky for him, it is a one-horse town."

Well, someone's got to say it.

[Galaxy 9000]

Did they just do another edit?


It sounded like it cut off, when there should have been more.

[Don_East]

I don't understand why they edit out "Lucky for him it is a one horse town." This is the network that airs Total Drama Island.

Oh well, Bully For Bugs will cheer me up.

[Matthew Williams]

Well even some that have an edited version have aired today uncut. it is almost like they are just airing the version they have on them, be it the edited one or not. Makes things much more annoying then it should be. When edits seem random is when they are at their worst.

Well, Warner hasn't given them the new DVD prints so of course they're airing the version they have on them. I'd figure that if they made new masters off those, the edits would be much more consistent across the board.

That and maybe some of these cartoons wouldn't look sub-VHS quality, like Dripalong Daffy.

And don't get me wrong - these are just minor nitpicks. In the end all that really matters is having these cartoons on television.

[Bloody Marquis]

Did they just do another edit?
Probably. The ending was abrupt.

[sag_2002]

Hassan chopped all right...the ending of Show Biz Bugs! OOH that makes me angry.

"Dripalong Daffy" better not have ITS end line cut. It used to.

No such luck, sadly.

Now up, Bully for Bugs, as we begin to get into the really good stuff.

"Of course you realize, THIS means war!"

[Zen Man]

"I knew I should've taken that left toin at Albequerque."

[Matthew Hunter]

No big surprise, CN always edited that line. "L-lucky for him it IS a one-horse town!" Mindless, stupid cut.

[Comics_the_QB]

Ah, "Bully for Bugs." Loved this one. :)

[PF9]

Hassan chopped all right...the ending of Show Biz Bugs! OOH that makes me angry.

"Dripalong Daffy" better not have ITS end line cut. It used to.

Aw, DAMNIT!

Maybe the censors didn't like what was implied by "luckily for him it is a 1-horse town"

[Bloody Marquis]

No big surprise, CN always edited that line. "L-lucky for him it IS a one-horse town!" Mindless, stupid cut.
Hmm. Maybe CN just doesn't have the uncut tapes (like how the edited version of ROTJ get aired).

[Kitschensyngk]

Bugs' famous bull-slapping dance. :anime:

Now this is the type of violence in bullfighting I can get behind.

[Ishtar]

Bugs' famous bull-slapping dance. :anime:

Reminds me when Buster Bunny tried the same thing to a Bed Bug in Tiny Toons. "Well it worked for Bugs Bunny!"

[Comics_the_QB]

Our last hour!

[Don_East]

I always loved the ending, the music really made it truly work. Oh to go back to the days when wester animation had actual composers.

Heading into the home stretch and CN really saved the best for last.



7pm
One Froggy Evening ( Michigan J. Frog)
Duck Amuck (Daffy & Bugs)
Rhapsody Rabbit (Bugs)
What's Opera Doc (Bugs & Elmer)
Rabbit of Seville (Bugs)
Hardevil Hare (Bugs & Marvin the Martian)
Duck Dodgers in the 24 Century (Daffy & Marvin The Martian)
:D

[Matthew Hunter]

Well well, good ol' Michigan Frog.

[Zen Man]

One Froggy Evening

I see they saved the best shorts for last.

[Kitschensyngk]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, former WB television network mascot Michigan J. Frog.

[sag_2002]

Lots of great stuff coming in this last hour, starting with One Froggy Evening, the cartoon that launched the career of future television mascot Michigan J. Frog.

[Bloody Marquis]

I always felt bad for the guy trying to use the frog for money.

[chdr]

Ah, Michigan J. Frog.

We have just started what is quite possibly the best sixty minutes you will ever see on CN.

[Matthew Williams]

I don't understand why they edit out "Lucky for him it is a one horse town." This is the network that airs Total Drama Island.

Oh well, Bully For Bugs will cheer me up.

And therein lies my point. I don't watch TDI but I've seen enough of it to make me go "...how can Cartoon Network let this content go on the air?" That's why I'm convinced they've just been using whatever broadcast masters they have ready.

Anyway. Now to the good stuff!

[Don_East]

"Free Beer"

Wow, I can't believe they actually aired that.

[Bloody Marquis]

:lol: Free Beer.

[Kitschensyngk]

I always felt bad for the guy trying to use the frog for money.

Some performers just don't do well in front of an audience.

[Matthew Hunter]

Ah, Michigan J. Frog.

We have just started what is quite possibly the best sixty minutes you will ever see on CN.

Best 60 minutes you'll see on TV, period, if they put the scissors away.

[Ishtar]

Glad to see One Froggy Evening, along with my personal favorite gag in it.;)

[PF9]

Lots of great stuff coming in this last hour, starting with One Froggy Evening, the cartoon that launched the career of future television mascot Michigan J. Frog.

He made several more appearances outside the classic series, including a few Tiny Toons eps and a theatrical cartoon from 1995.

He may go down in history as the first Looney Tunes character to actually be "killed off". This occured when the WB stopped using him as a mascot.

RIP

Michigan J. Frog

12/31/1955 - 7/22/2005

[Galaxy 9000]

Yeah this 7 PM hour of Looney Tunes has some of the best shorts of the day.

[sag_2002]

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for. Duck Amuck time!

[warnerbroman]

the frong one I love it cuz I can do his voice

[Bloody Marquis]

He made several more appearances outside the classic series, including a few Tiny Toons eps and a theatrical cartoon from 1995.

He may go down in history as the first Looney Tunes character to actually be "killed off". This occured when the WB stopped using him as a mascot.

RIP

Michigan J. Frog

12/31/1955 - 7/22/2005
He came back from the grave as the final image in The WB's final broadcast.

[chdr]

How did Michigan survive in that box for 100 years?

Sweet, Duck Amuck's playing. One of my all-time favorites.

[Don_East]

Duck Amuck.

Probably one of the greatest LT shorts ever. It's so brilliant, it got a game on the Nintendo DS.

[JTurner954]

Looks like they are airing my favorite segments at 7:15.

Nevermind, it's on now. I love Duck Amuck; my introduction to breaking the fourth wall material.

[Galaxy 9000]

How did Michigan survive in that box for 100 years?

Sweet, Duck Amuck's playing. One of my all-time favorites.


Hes a cartoon, thats how.


Yeah Duck Amuck is a great short.

[Matthew Hunter]

Wow, not a very good print of "Duck Amuck"...but still, it's "Duck Amuck" and it's on TV when people are watching. Essential viewing for anyone, regardless of age or preferred animation genre.

[sag_2002]

"And I've never been so humiliated in all my life!"

[Kitschensyngk]

Give Daffy some scenery so he can chew it.

Hey, you wanted a closeup.

[Ishtar]

I always loved Duck Amuck. Too bad it's remake, where it's Bugs in the role, isn't being shown tonight too.

[Comics_the_QB]

"Duck Amuck"

This last hour they really are working to show some good ones, huh?

[Raditz]

Oh god I LOVE Duck Amuck

btw, what is the short called where Bugs is in the same situation?

[creativerealms]

And now for one of the greatest of them all. 4th wall breaking at it's finest.

[Matthew Hunter]

Did...they just put a rainbow that said "Total Drama Island" over one of the greatest cartoons ever made? Oh, no they di-ent...

[Kitschensyngk]

To answer your question, Bugs: yes. Yes, you are a stinker. :D

[Bloody Marquis]

Oh god I LOVE Duck Amuck

btw, what is the short called where Bugs is in the same situation?
Rabbit Rampage

[Galaxy 9000]

I really hope the show gets some sort of airtime on CN after this, even a once a week episode.

[warnerbroman]

"Free Beer"

Wow, I can't believe they actually aired that.well they did do it in that rabbit tale movie

[Zen Man]

I wonder how they did those Looney Tunes promos. Were they real statues shot on location?

[Don_East]

"Under a spreading chestnut-tree, The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighta-ty man is he, With strong and sinewy..."
***BOOM***
"Hands."

That always cracks me up.

[Matthew Williams]

Duck Amuck = the best animated cartoon of all time, period.

Not impressed with the Total Drama Island graphic, but I guess it's preferable to the on-screen stuff on the other Turner networks...

[Raditz]

Rabbit Rampage
Thanks.

Oh and more TDI reruns air after this.

GOD WHY.

[Mini Garbonzo]

Ah, "Duck Amuck" one of my favorites, and one of the most popular LT shorts of all time.

[Kitschensyngk]

"Under a spreading chestnut-tree, The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighta-ty man is he, With strong and sinewy..."
***BOOM***
"Hands."

That always cracks me up.

I've always wondered what he was saying at that part.

[chdr]

Daffy's expression who the artist gives him inappropriate sound effects is absolutely priceless. Duck Amuck is one of the best LT shorts ever made.

And now, Rhapsody Rabbit. This was allegedly the first thing ever aired on Cartoon Network.

Wasn't that opening scene edited before?

[Mini Garbonzo]

Thanks.

Oh and more TDI reruns air after this.

GOD WHY.
All good things must come to an end...:sad:

[Don_East]

Ah, the controversial Rhapsody Rabbit.

[Bloody Marquis]

Yay. :D They kept the part where Bugs shot the guy.

[Matthew Hunter]

Now for a rabbit pianist!

[sag_2002]

Rhapsody Rabbit is up. This is double nostalgia, as it was the very first thing CN aired way back in 1992.

[Raditz]

Hey look, somebody got shot.

Gotta love cartoon violence

[Galaxy 9000]

IMO, shows that have piano episodes aren't very entertaining.

[creativerealms]

Cartoon Network really is going all out for this, especially the final hour. I hope this marathon gives them good ratings.

[Zen Man]

Bugs you sly dog. LOL

[Kitschensyngk]

That's Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody he's playing.

Didn't Tom and Jerry re-enact this cartoon once?

[ChokeyChicken]

Duck Amuck, Rhapsody Rabbit and more great ones to come? The perfect end to this perfect Looney filled day. So glad I woke up early for this.

[Raditz]

And this whole shabang ends with the Duck Dodgers short, the only short to have an ENTIRE SERIES BASED OFF OF IT

[Mini Garbonzo]

I'm suprised they kept the part where Bugs shot the guy. Is it me, or does "Raphsody Rabbit" seem very simmilar to a "Tom and Jerry" cartoon...

[Bloody Marquis]

That's Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody he's playing.

Didn't Tom and Jerry re-enact this cartoon?
Yeah, I heard there was controversy about whether or not Tom & Jerry stole the idea.

[Comics_the_QB]

LOL @ Bugs reaction to the funeral music.

[Don_East]

Didn't Tom and Jerry re-enact this cartoon once?
Both shorts were released in the same year. The story goes is that both MGM & WB claim that one plagiarised the other. The Tom & Jerry won the Oscar that year though.

[Matthew Williams]

That's Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody he's playing.

Didn't Tom and Jerry re-enact this cartoon once?
"The Cat Concerto". Both cartoons were released in the same year, and are strikingly similar. There's a reason for it but I don't really remember it right now.

[Zen Man]

Too bad they didn't showcase Chow Hound. Probably the most morbid short ever.

[Raditz]

What's Opera Doc? It's official, they are REALLY going all out in the last hour.

[Mini Garbonzo]

Next up, probably one of the most critically aclaimed shorts of all time, it's "What's Opera Doc"!

[Jave]

"Rhapsody Rabbit" and "The Cat Concerto" were released less than a month apart from each other (or somewhere along those lines). It is never clear if one ripped off the other, or if it was just a coincidence.

"Duck Amuck" is not the best animated cartoon ever made. It's the best THING ever made. If I were to lump all cartoons, movies, TV series, video games, books, etc. altogether, Duck Amuck would win by a landslide.

[chdr]

What's Opera, Doc.

We're entering the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the final thirty minutes.

[Don_East]

What's Opera Doc?

"KILL THE WABBIT! KILL THE WABBIT!"

This whole hour is just epic.

[Matthew Hunter]

"What's Opera Doc"...overrated, but you gotta admit, it's a classic.

[sag_2002]

And, What's Opera, Doc? kicks off a twin bill of operatic fun.

"Kill the wabbit!"

[Kitschensyngk]

Next up: What's Opera Doc. A Bugs and Elmer cartoon set to classical music, and also featuring a love song with Bugs in drag.

And, oh yeah, a spear and magic helmet.

[K2323]

YES!

Kill da wabbit.. Kill da wabbit

[Ishtar]

Next up, probably one of the most critically aclaimed shorts of all time, it's "What's Opera Doc"!
Not just one of the, it's claimed to be the best animated short period.

[Mugsy]

I stopped watching the marathon around 4, I started it at 6:30 or so, I had to do some things around the house and run a few errands. I am glad I got to be a part of this awesome marathon and I hope CN plans on adding it to the daily routine....

[JTurner954]

"Duck Amuck" is not the best animated cartoon ever made. It's the best THING ever made. If I were to lump all cartoons, movies, TV series, video games, books, etc. altogether, Duck Amuck would win by a landslide.

Bingo. I consider Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo the anime equivalent.

What's Opera, Doc? may be the most dramatic Looney Tune made. It always made me sad (especially the closing moments).

[Dub]

Beyond "Rabbit Rampage" wasn't this the only short where Elmer Fudd actually won?

[kewlmyc]

Wait, are they airing the best shorts in the last hour. Because they aired both of my favorites in the last 30 minutes: Duck Amuck and The Opera Episode.

[Jave]

No one denies that "What's Opera Doc" is a beautifully staged cartoon, but it's probably my least favorite of the final seven. Bugs is... a little TOO comfortable in drag in this cartoon.

[creativerealms]

KILL THE WATTIT, KILL THE WABITT
Man man, This hour will be great, and it's going to be finished off with a double dose of Marvin the Martian.

[Dr. Daedalus]

Beyond "Rabbit Rampage" wasn't this the only short where Elmer Fudd actually won? Nope, there was also "Hare Brush".

[warnerbroman]

Now for a rabbit pianist!*as Yakko* good night everybody!

[Kitschensyngk]

Beyond "Rabbit Rampage" wasn't this the only short where Elmer Fudd actually won?

There was one where Elmer was a wealthy businessman...and had a mental condition where he thought he was a scwewy wabbit.

"Kill the wabbit, KILL THE WABBIT, KILL THE WABBIT!"

Question: why does Elmer Fudd go wabbit hunting when he always cries every time he thinks he's actually killed one?

[Don_East]

I love what the Nostalgia Critic had to say about the ending.

Bugs: What do you expect in an opera, a happy ending?

NC[CRYING]: No, but I expected one from a Bugs Bunny cartoon!

[Raditz]

I always hated this special for being so depressing, compared to all the other shorts.

[Ishtar]

Nostalgia Critic: "That isn't funny...what the hell, this is supposed to be LOONEY TUNES! They are supposed to make me laugh not down right depressed!"
:p

[warnerbroman]

I wonder how they did those Looney Tunes promos. Were they real statues shot on location?are yout trying to say that there are "300ft tall bugs bunny statue?

[chdr]

Well, Elmer finally killed Bugs, and at his last appearance in the marathon, too.

[Jave]

Next up: "Rabbit of Seville"

Definitely one of the best ever.

[Matthew Hunter]

Who's sick of "Bendaroos" and "Lots and Lots of Trains"?

[Zen Man]

Sigh well only three shorts left.

Why does it have to end now?

[Comics_the_QB]

Who's sick of "Bendaroos" and "Lots and Lots of Trains"?

*raises hand*

[warnerbroman]

I love what the Nostalgia Critic had to say about the ending.

Bugs: What do you expect in an opera, a happy ending?

NC[CRYING]: No, but I expected one from a Bugs Bunny cartoon! what video is that?

[Bloody Marquis]

Who's sick of "Bendaroos" and "Lots and Lots of Trains"?
Well, I'm especially sick of hearing Anakin talking about how fighting bad guys without lightsabers will be "kind of tough".

[Jave]

Wow, this marathon is giving the CN Board the most traffic in months!

[chdr]

Third to last, it's Rabbit of Seville.

One of the best, and probably the most memorable, nostalgic short for me.

[Kitschensyngk]

Yay! Rabbit of Seville! Classic!

Fun fact: Bugs was drawn with five fingers instead of four when we see him "playing the piano" on Elmer's head.

[Dr. Dave]

At last, Cartoon Network lives up to its name.

And so, young ones (and not so young ones), sit and learn at the feet of the masters. Drink deep and gain wisdom.

"kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit ..." :D

[Ishtar]

I actually prefer this over What's Opera, Doc.

[chdr]

Wow, almost 100 viewers on the CN boards!

[warnerbroman]

Wow, this marathon is giving the CN Board the most traffic in months!not as big as toonami's death though

[Kitschensyngk]

Looney Tunes and commercials for videos about trains. Now THIS is Cartoon Network.

[Comics_the_QB]

I LOVE this one!

(No smiley can express my excitment.)

[Bloody Marquis]

Bugs is... a little TOO comfortable in drag in this cartoon.
Bugs is always a little too comfortable in drag.

[Don_East]

what video is that?
Top 11 Saddest Nostalgic Moments


Sigh well only three shorts left.

Why does it have to end now?
It really irk me that networks always have to stop marathons around 6/7 so they can show what their usual weeknight programming. Like one time that Comedy Central aired Groundhog's Day several times, but they stopped just they could show more Scrubs reruns & repeats of the previous night's Daily Show. I just hope CN will start showing this atleast an hour a day like Tom & Jerry.

The Rabbit Of Seville, easily one of Bugs' best.

[Swag Jenkins]

If the ratings are good for the marathon, then CN will do more with LT.

Yup. This is probably the biggest breath of fresh air I've received on this network in years.

[Bloody Marquis]

18 Minutes Left.

[chdr]

That "Next on HHT" promo is so unintentionally funny and true.

[SurgeV1]

That "Next on HHT" promo is so unintentionally funny and true.

Which was?

[Matthew Hunter]

Ah, "Haredevil Hare".

[tb4000]

Rabbit of Seville is probably the peak of Chuck Jones and Mike Maltese's portrayal of Bugs as the calm yet shyster-like character he had become. The simple ending line of "next" was so simple, yet it probably got applause the first time it was shown in theatres.

[SurgeV1]

Ah, "Haredevil Hare".
The gremlin one, right?

[Kitschensyngk]

Haredevil Hare. Wasn't this Marvin the Martian's debut?

Has NASA always had this problem with experimental animals?

[Don_East]

Haredevil Hare, the last Bugs Bunny short on the marathon and the first appearance of Marvin The Martian. Though "Hare-Way to the Stars" is superior to this one.


Which was?
Probably the fact it's nothing but TDI. I love that show, but this is just oversaturation to the worst degree.

[ChuckRoast]

This is Marvin's debut, right?

[ChokeyChicken]

Well, Elmer finally killed Bugs, and at his last appearance in the marathon, too.

Nope in his last appearance he falls in the cake. Poor guy. Or maybe not if he loves cake. I love Rabbit of Seville, probably even more that What's Opera Doc. Here comes the Marvin episodes. :D

[chdr]

Which was?
"Next on Har Har Tharsdays, it's Total Drama Island, then at 8:30 it's Total Drama Island, at 9:00 it's Total Drama Island, followed by Total Drama Island at 9:30!"

Second to last, it's Haredevil Hare. This is Marvin the Martian's first appearance on the marathon (and in general), and what an appearance it is.

[Ishtar]

This is the weird Marvin short where his voice sounds completely different, but it was his first appearance.

[Jave]

"I got a wife and kids! Millions of kids!"

One of the best lines ever.

[ChuckRoast]

It never really bothered me how Bugs was able to breathe in space.

[PF9]

Haredevil Hare was a first and last.

First for Marvin the Martian

And the last...it was the last cartoon in the a.a.p. package to be released (7-24-48)

Speaking of a.a.p., kudos to CN for recognizing their place in LT history by keeping the logo attached to a couple of Daffy cartoons

[Comics_the_QB]

:D

MtM is one of my favorite Looney Tunes! What a great way to end the marathon: With a bang!

[K2323]

"I'm alone! I'm alone on the moon! .. I'm alone on the moon :D Well, anyway, I'm the first living creature to set foot on the moon!" *Blasted by a spaceship*

"Uh? I'm going to blow up the Earth."
"Sure is a nice day for it."

"After all, it's his bushiness if he wants to blow up the Earth."

This by far is one of the best shorts. And the last :(

[Rolling Cloud]

Eh, I think I like Marvin's 2nd voice better.

Are anyone else's closed captions not working?

[SurgeV1]

"Next on Har Har Tharsdays, it's Total Drama Island, then at 8:30 it's Total Drama Island, at 9:00 it's Total Drama Island, followed by Total Drama Island at 9:30!"

Second to last, it's Haredevil Hare. This is Marvin the Martian's first appearance on the marathon (and in general), and what an appearance it is.

Oh. Great. I could see if it weren't re-runs, but they are. Do they really need to shove down two hours of TDI down our throats? Who do they think they are, Nick!?

[Bloody Marquis]

Eh, I think I like Marvin's 2nd voice better.
Yeah, his voice is a little too high-pitched here.

[ChuckRoast]

I don't remember. Was Marvin's dog K-9 shown in any other shorts besides this one?

[Ishtar]

I don't remember. Was Marvin's dog K-9 shown in any other shorts besides this one?
There was one other one that I remember seeing him in.

[NewcomerDC]

Anyone know why Marvin changed his voice?

Plus Bugs and K-9 hugging is still classic.

[Kitschensyngk]

If Cartoon Network does not continue showing Looney Tunes after today, it will make me very angry (huff huff huff huff) VERY angry indeed.

[sag_2002]

"Have you prepared a statement for the press?

"Yes, I have prepared a statement. GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

Well, gang. This is it. Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century. The last cartoon today. It's been fun hanging out with everyone and getting to see all these classics one more time. Hopefully, we'll be able to do this again.

[Comics_the_QB]

The Final One!

[Raditz]

This is it. The last short.

Maybe for the next week. Maybe for another 5 years.

[Swag Jenkins]

If Cartoon Network does not continue showing Looney Tunes after today, it will make me very angry (huff huff huff huff) VERY angry indeed.

You better hope kids are watching it then.

[Don_East]

And here it is, the last LT short for the marathon. A short so great, it spawned a sequel, a video game for the SNES, & a TV show.

DUCK DODGERS IN THE 24 1/2th CENTURY!

[Matthew Hunter]

I don't remember. Was Marvin's dog K-9 shown in any other shorts besides this one?

One other, "Hasty Hare"

[Dub]

There was one other one that I remember seeing him in.

The Hasty Hare

"Crunchy Munchies are the best, look delicious on your vest! Serve them to unwated guests, stuff the matress with the rest"

[PF9]

"Have you prepared a statement for the press?

"Yes, I have prepared a statement. GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

kind of a strong statement to make to close out the "pre-1948" era

[Galaxy 9000]

Well time for the last short of the day, and probably the last short we'll see for awhile.

[ChuckRoast]

DUCK DODGERS FTW!!!!!

Nice way to end the marathon!

[NewcomerDC]

The return of Duck Dodgers! Maybe CN should bing back the show as well.

[Kitschensyngk]

Duck Dodgers in the 24th-1/2 Century. I'll take this over the 2003 series any day.

I had a children's book based on this short when I was a kid.

[chdr]

This is it. The last short. CN saved the best for last.

It's
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century!
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century!
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century!
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century!
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century!

[Ishtar]

Damn, last short already? I was so into the groove watching. At least this marathon ends with a bang, litteraly.

[K2323]

Get ready, guys. This could be it: The last LT shorts we see on TV. Let's hope not.

[ChokeyChicken]

Duck Dodgers and the Space Cadet! Wooo!

[warnerbroman]

only if martian queen was in this short

to CN west!!!

[ChuckRoast]

One other, "Hasty Hare"


Thanks. I remember it now.

[Kitschensyngk]

It's a wonder we haven't discoverd Planet X yet with directions like that. Start from Planet A and work your way through the alphabet.

"I claim this planet in the name of Mars. Hmm. Isn't that lovely, hmm?"

[Bloody Marquis]

Get ready, guys. This could be it: The last LT shorts we see on TV. Let's hope not.
You guys are all so negative.

[Ishtar]

"I claim this planet in the name of Mars! Isn't that lovely?" :marvin:

[NewcomerDC]

It's a wonder we haven't discoverd Planet X yet with directions like that. Start from Planet A and work your way through the alphabet.

"I claim this planet in the name of Mars. Hmm. Isn't that lovely, hmm?"
I wonder if there's a Planet Z?

[Zen Man]

Marvin's got his real voice back.

[Galaxy 9000]

You guys are all so negative.



Theres a 50/50 chance that CN will keep the show on air.

[K2323]

You guys are all so negative.
I'm hoping for the best.

[Galaxy 9000]

I'm hoping for the best.


So am I.

[creativerealms]

Duck Dodgers in the 24th-1/2 Century. I'll take this over the 2003 series any day.

I had a children's book based on this short when I was a kid.

I had the kids book for this too. In fact I had two looney toons books when i was a kid, this one and onr for "Birds Anonymous "

What was wrong with the 2003 series? i liked it.

Man this marathon is over already, damn well it was fun.

[NewcomerDC]

I'm hoping for the best.
Well someone should find the ratings for the marathon and put them up here ASAP.

[Don_East]

"Happy birthday, you thing from another world you."
"Oh, goody!"

:lol:

[Kitschensyngk]

So much good stuff in this one. The alphabet planets, the disintegrating pistols, the ultimatum guns...

[ChuckRoast]

You guys are all so negative.

I will be surprised if CN actually airs Looney Tunes regularly after this marathon.

[Comics_the_QB]

WOW! After 14 hours of marathon, 25 pages of thread, and one day of classics, it ends. Good Job everybody. : D

*gives a 3 minute standing ovation*

and now we wait... Until then:

[Don_East]

And we end with a bang. Literally, Daffy & Marvin blew it up.

"That's All Folks."

I'll probably watch TDI now, since I'm sadly addicted to it.

[chdr]

"B-b-b-big deal."

Yes it was, Porky. Yes it was.

[Philo & Gunge]

Well, that's all folks!

BEST NEW YEAR'S DAY EVER! :daffy:

[K2323]

Dat's All Folks. And now, let us comfort each other and remember the old times as we turn to see what CN Studios does. We've all done very well.

[Raditz]

That's all folks!

OH GOD CHRIS YOU ASS YOU RUINED MY NOSTALGIABOMB

[Rolling Cloud]

"I claim this planet in the name of Mars! Isn't that lovely?" :marvin:

:^: Ok, this post wins. XD

Glad this aired, it was a lot of fun.

[NewcomerDC]

And the day ends with that annoying opening for HHT.

[RSNaco]

It may not help, but send CN feedback on the marathon. They might just listen.

http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/feedback/index.html

[Galaxy 9000]

Now I switch to CN west to watch more.

[Zen Man]

Welll this will be a day to remember. I had a lot of fun.

I just hope its enough to get Looney Tunes back on the air. Comon CN do the right thing.

[Dub]

wow


TDI looks really bad compared to everything that just passed. XD

[NewcomerDC]

wow


TDI looks really bad compared to everything that just passed. XD
Hence why I hated the show since Day 1.

[K2323]

wow


TDI looks really bad compared to everything that just passed. XD
It looked really bad before.

[tb4000]

I can't even remember how long it's been since I've actually turned on CN and saw Looney Tunes shorts. Now when TDI comes on, it's like a shock to the system.

[sag_2002]

Would've been nice if we got some type of a closing for for the marathon instead of ramming head-on into HHT, but meh. It has been really fun, as I said, and again, I hope we'll be able to do this again soon.

[Don_East]

All this TDI bashing is making me a sad panda. Different strokes I guess.

[JTurner954]

Maybe I'm imagining things, but I just saw a parental advisory for this next show because it has "flirtacious behavior".

Good job with Looney Tunes, CN. Now bring back The Powerpuff Girls.

:has money ready for the complete series DVD set:

[ChokeyChicken]

Ahhh what an amazing New Year's Day. And now to watch the last few hours of the marathon again on CN West!

[creativerealms]

Hence why I hated the show since Day 1.

And I now have a red mark on my face the shape and size of my hand thanks to a dumb comment.
