Well, from now on, I'm only giving a description of every cartune on the show, I was so excited about it yesterday, that I posted my two cents in it... :p

The Contendor (Woody Woodpecker)

Woody Woodpecker, in various disguises to take on a giant wrestler, for a $5,000 prize.

Snow Way Out (Knothead & Splinter)

Buzz Buzzard tries to cheat Woody out of $500 for skiing lessons for Knothead and Splinter.

Hospital Hijinx (Woody Woodpecker)

Woody sees how good a man is getting treated in the hospital, Woody decides to fake he's sick. However he picked the wrong room to fake it, with Nurse Meany on the job...

--what to make of Billy West's giving Woody a Scottish accent and a fondness for golf. It's such a departure from Blanc, Hardaway, and Stafford...though I guess that's the intent, to be new and different. Also, Buzz has a sidekick named Tweaky (I think I have the name right), which felt odd to me since he seldom worked with a partner before (though the early shorts also never put such an emphasis on Splinter and Knothead, and even less on Winnie). Plus the animation style and the pace of the scripts seem just...off.
I'd still rather see some classic shorts--Chilly Willy, Andy Panda, Inspector Willoughby, and a couple of Hardaway-era Woodys--spliced into the mix for contrast.
