B&W cartoons

[Cartman]

I'm just curious, but have any B&W LT/MM ever been shown on "Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show?"

[Jon Cooke]

That's easy. No, ABC never aired any B&W cartoons on The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show. B&W shorts DID show up during the early days of Looney Tunes On Nickelodeon . Perhaps, that's what you are thinking of.

Incidentally, I don't think ABC ever ran any colorized cartoons either, which surprises me since they traded packages with Nick off and on. I remember one time when Nick was the only place to see Road Runner (I always waited for one of those to come on) and when practically all the Tweety was on ABC, but the colorized Porky cartoons always stayed on Nick...I feel weird seeing some of those on CN. I have always wondered why NOBODY picked up the Bosko or Buddy stuff after Nick dropped it, I actually liked both characters. There was some ad that proclaimed "No more Bosko! Sorry, Bosko!" and I thought "Why would they get rid of Bosko?" It has remained a puzzlement to me to this day.

top ten possible reasons for Bosko and Buddy's disappearance:

10. They got erased
9. Stimpy Cat used that tape for toilet paper
8. removed due to request by the NCACCC (National Coalition for the advancemant of color cartoon characters)
7. When Nick dropped them they were out of work, they returned to California, and you can now see them occasionally, frequenting the Burbank nightlife scene.
6. They started a pop-song career, but after their first single "It doesn't matter if you're black and white" failed miserably due to bad reviews , they became involved with sex and drugs and by the way they will be on VH1 with their story next month.
5. Buddy was arrested for indecent displays in a movie theater and sent to jail, and his films were removed due to popular demand from worried parents, leaving several talking steamboats and beer mugs out of work. Bosko was removed too due to his close association with Buddy, and is now reclusive.
4. Mickey Mouse sued
3. Bosko? Buddy? Never heard of them.
2. Nick, fearing that kids would not watch black and white cartoons, just put the films on a shelf to collect dust.
1. Don't look in Ted Turner's basement!
