ToonHeads:
ONE TOON WONDERS

Sunday, May 20, 10 p.m. (e/p)

ToonHeads takes a look at "One Toon Wonders," characters who only appeared in one cartoon, but made a lasting impression or influenced a later cartoon star. Cartoons featured in this episode include Tex Avery's "Crackpot Quail" and two shorts from Chuck Jones: "Ghost Wanted" and "One Froggy Evening," starring Michigan J. Frog.

They have run it before, and it is kind of stretching it to include the first two cartoons while trying to connect them to "One Froggy Evening" (which is the cartoon they really wanted an excuse to show ... again).

Better selections to go along with that cartoon would be "Rabbit's Kin" (Pete Puma) and either one of two Clampett cartoons -- "Falling Hare" with the Gremlin, or, if you don't count color remakes as "second" cartoon, "Porky in Wackyland" with the Do-Do. Those cartoons actually had charcters people who are not just WB fanatics like us really do remember.

Was Pete Puma in only one short? I had thought he was in more than just one but I guess not.

Any other suggestions for One Toon Wonders? Gossamer and Blacque Jacque Shellaque come close to it but...

I like the Hillbillys in Hillbilly Hare or Hugo in The Abominable Snowrabbit ( I don't count Spaced Out Bunny as a true short) but the Number One OneToonWonder has to be Gulli-Bull from Bully For Bugs.

Pete appeared in another cartoon, but he was known as "Rocky the mountain lion" and did not speak. the short was called "What's My Lion". Also, chuck Jones Film Productions did a cartoon called "Pullet Surprise' in which Pete chased Foghorn Leghorn.
