I see that many of you have seen just about every WB cartoon in existence. One thing standing between me and ever getting this far has always been the elusive Buddy cartoons -- I have managed to catch two in 25 years of active viewing. I gather there has never been a video for good old "Bosko in Whiteface" -- is there somewhere the Buddys cluster or is he simply a matter of trading?

Incidentally, reading you guys on the source of that BUGS BUNNY SHOW musical sequence was very nostalgic for me -- I remember the choral "This is the Buuugs Bunnyyy SHOOOOOW!" at the end of the final credits from when I was little (I watched the Saturday morning show religiously from about 1968 to 1982); I do not recall them using that after the early 70s.

It's mostly going to be a trading thing. I was able to tape all but 5 firsthand from Nickelodeon from 1991-1993. The other five I recently obtained from trades. These have not been seen on television for about 7 or 8 years.

As indicated by "Rhapsodyrabbit" most of the Buddys were aired on Nickelodeon quite a while back and are the source of most of our tape copies. Uncensored versions of a couple exist only on 16mm prints or taped copies thereof... There was a guy on Ebay a while back who was selling tape copies of his acquired from Nickelodeon. Not that I'm strongly recommending that route...
