Yes, some are. The 'Daffy Duck" video is pretty good, it has some good cartoons. 'Taz' has every Taz cartoon ever, and 'Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote" has the best print of "Fast and Furryous" I've ever seen. The real resaon to buy any of the videos is for the quality, they're much better than TV, they are uncut, and these tapes also feature a ton of titles that are often time-compressed on TV. I recommend this series.

Agreed with all those reasons above, but another of the main reasons is that Warner Home Video seems to have really thought about the cartoon collector when they released these videos. With the exception of the Road Runner video, most or all of the cartoons on this tape had never been released on video before! If you can find these videos, I'd recommend snapping them up.

Even the Bugs video in this set isn't half-bad. I am still unbelievably aggravated that only one cartoon on the Road Runner tape was new-to-video, but it was still a fun set of videos to own...and made me wish that the "Bugs & Friends" compilations were released stateside (well, in English anyway).

of the "Stars of space jam" videos(Bugs,Daffy,porky),
And then get some of the "BUMPER" series of PAL tapes.
They are just as good cos their only £1 more than the "SOSJ" and have 2 tapes full of toons.

BUY IT! What have you got to lose?
My favorite video is the Daffy Duck video which has some pretty good offerings like "Holiday for Drumsticks" & "Stuporduck".
The Tweety & Sylvester video is pretty good also, especially for "Tree Cornered Tweety"
The Bugs video has "Homeless Hare" and "Forward March Hare", two pretty good Jones outings. "Hare Splitter" is also on there uncut.
The Taz video is worth having for "Ducking The Devil", one of McKimson's best.
The weakest of all of them is The Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote video. All the cartoons were re-issued (the print of "Hook, Line & Stinker" is the same print that is on 'Road Runner Vs. Wile E. Coyote: The Classic Chase') except for "Hot-Rod & Reel" which is a good one. I remember this one being butchered for ABC broadcast.
Depending on which cartoons you don't have in your library, I say buy it!

I'm gonna pget the Bugs,Daffy and Sylvester and tweety tapes,thier only £6.99 and I don't think the cartoons on these tapes will be available on DVD for sometime so I'll get plenty of watching out of them.
