Early Tweety, Bob and the first Frizes. He's fun when he's eeeeeevil.

[hippety hopper]

I think Bob started Tweety off very well,BUT I think Friz kept tweety's personnality going well!

I agree with don Jamie, I enjoy a lot of the early Freleng Tweetys just as much as the Clampett ones.

I have to agree with Hippety Hopper on this one. Bob Clampett only made 3 cartoons with Tweety, while Friz Freleng made dozens. It would have been cool to see what else Clampett could have done with Tweety, but I feel Friz Freleng is the director who really gave Tweety his personality. The only thing I could have seen Clampett do was make Tweety less of a victim and more aggressive than Freleng did. Imagine how violent Tweety & Sylvester cartoons could have been!!:eek:

I really liked Clampett's Tweety. He was hilariously vicious and free-wheeling and I wish he would've used him more. The later Tweety was okay.

"A Tale of Two Kitties", with the immortal "bird" line, is my all-time favorite Tweety short. It was nice to see the Babbott and Catstello team and Orson both appear on The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries (which is dedicated to the memory of Freleng, though Clampett is oddly not mentioned). Some say Hector beat up Sylvester too much...but it never really bothered me. Male dogs are territorial by nature and will attack all other unknown males--dog or cat--that go near their property. Need I go into the innumerable food dish fight horror stories I could tell? :eek:

I wish Clampett would've stayed longer at Warners. He could've done some great things there. I would've like to see him do a cartoon with BOTH Sylvester AND Tweety in it. I imagine that they would be very violent, almost as violent as HERMAN & KATNIP, though NO cartoon series was that violent.

Clampett's Tweety, I like the personality more, the contrast between the seemingly innocent exterior and the violent little jerk inside. That makes it a lot funnier.

I think Clampett's Tweety's were the first thing that got me noticing his name in the director's credits. When I first discovered them, I was always really excited when I saw a Clampett Tweety.

The later Tweety isn't as active in his defense and Sylvester mostly sets up his own failures, or loses due to intervention by Granny or someone else (cat from B.A., dog...). To me, that's less funny. Not that I'm not amused by Friz's stuff, just that it isn't as outrageously hilarious. Violent Tweety's apparent innocence makes his violent nature extra funny, like when he helps out the cat on fire by adding gasoline in Birdy and the Beast, or when he says "He fall down go BOOM!"

I like both versions, but I gotta admit...when Tweety beats the crap out of that bulldog with his own bone (A GRUESOME TWOSOME) and runs away really fast, without losing his one bit of his sense of cuteness, I'm in stitches.

Well, not really STITCHES, but I do think that's one of the funniest moments from a WB cartoon.

I think the Friz Freleng Tweety is more entertaining. That is what I find more fun to watch. (most of the time)

[Matthew Hunter]

I think Friz's was the best, particularly the early ones where he actually does something. Tweety became more like the Road Runner later in life. That's fine, I guess, but he was really good when he got some active revenge.
