Some notes:

It's nice to see they have brought back "The Egg-Cited Rooster" on a semi-regular basis again. Now, if CN would show "Crockett Doodle Doo" again.

I think that was a different print of "Dime to Retire" today. It had a "THIS VERSION (C) 1998 WARNER BROS." disclaimer at the end, and it was shown at its correct speed. I could have sworn the last time I saw this one on CN it was time-compressed and didn't have the "(C) 1998" at the end.

If they showed something rare today, such as "Crockett Doodle Do", I would have been upset. I was busy in the evening yesterday and forgot to turn the VCR off for the timer program...

"A-Lad-in His Lamp" was now not a rare cartoon. TVA was air before the airing of Quoi de neuf, Bugs? I liked this short. :)

Sounds like I missed some good episodes. I especially liked "Hare Do" and "Wabbit Twouble." And a lot of those other cartoons, I haven't seen.

One of the best Freleng tweety's. The first post-1948 one, BTW.

That was weird when the fox got locked in the incubator! Even worse when he lost weight the FAST way!! This seemed to be on e of Mel Blanc's first attempts to do just about every voice.
"An Itch in Time" - edited
See "Southern Fried Rabbit".Fortuantely I have the complete version on cassette.
"Fast and Furry-ous"
First roadraunner cartoon.
"Wabbit Twouble"
Credits all spelt in Fuddese
"Scent-imental Romeo"
One of Chuck Jones's best pre-Craven Daffy cartoons and one that showed how always great his Pepe lePEw series is!
Great Pepe LePew zoo cartoon and excellent soundtrack: Harry ALren and Vernon Duke's "April in Paris" (1931), Rudolph Friml and Cathy C.Cushing's "L'Amour Toujours L'Amour"(1922)(first use of it on the soundtrack, IIRC), Harry Warren and AL Dubin's "Latin Quarter" (1935), Vixtor Herbert's "Kiss me Again" (1880s), Harry Akst and Benny Davis's "Baby Face"(1926), and Offenbach's "Orhpeuos"(almost titled it :D ,1890s)
"Oily Hare"
Great cartoon, although not much seems to happen. A wonderful cae of Bob McKimson making the most out of a single setting (the space by the oilwell, )with few dissolves or fades.Bea Benaderet has a cameo as the operator.
"What Makes Daffy Duck?"
I have this,, it's been dubbed with a 1948 Looney Tunes ending finally rather than with just the earlier one.The oldest non-Blue Ribbon to credited Mel Blanc for voice characterizations, with an "s", as so many post 48's (this wass pre-1948) did. (This was due to to it being Cinecolor, and being released sooner.
"Fish Tales" - redrawn
And with the wrong music!
"Dime to Retire"
Classic huckster Daffy cartoon, one of the first uses of the 1955-1964 Looney Tunes theme.Theme is a medley of "Brahm's Lullaby" and Harry Warren and Al Dubin;s OScar winner (don;t write them like that for years) from 1935's "Golddiggers of 1935" "Lullaby iof Broadway",one of the times Stalling or Franklyn (the composer here) did a medley for a cartoon theme.

I just thought I'd comment on "What's My Lion?" I never cared much for when Hal Smith did Elmer Fudd's voice. I don't think I've seen "What's My Lion?" in it's entirety, but they have shown "Doggone People" a lot on ABC and I can tell the voice isn't right. It sounds like Elmer had a tonsilectimy. Also, another thing I was wondering is if Arthur Q. Bryan died in 1959, how come Dave Barry did Elmer's voice in "Pre-hysterical Hare" which was released in 1958, but in "A Mutt in a Rutt," it seems that Bryan returned to do the voice. Did it have to do with the production order or something. That's something I've always been confused about.

I can't wait until CN gets the rights to the CZ version of "Fish Tales." I'm really tired of them airing the redrawns.
