I caught the last bit of the ACME HOUR, but I missed the title. It had a spider that sounded like Tex Avery's laughter voice, but it couldn't of been, since it looked like it was made in the mid-40's, and Tex was long gone from WB by then. The spider was trying to catch a silent fly. One of my favorite scenes was the spider getting a hot foot and falling down to the table and saying "Look I'm a zero!" Was this "Meatless Flyday"?

Yep Thad, "Meatless Flyday" it was (Friz Freleng, released early 1944). The spider's voice was an IMITATION done of Tex's wonderful laughter and voice. Can't remember right now who did the impression though (sorry!).
