OT - TCM - Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes

[84lion]

For those that get TCM and enjoy old cartoons like I do, TCM is running 45 of the old Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes shorts starting tomorrow night at 8 PM. The shorts are scattered around (time-wise) but with YouTube TV, selecting one of the episodes with "Looney Tunes" looks like it gets you all of them.

Saturday mornings on MeTV, they run an hour of Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes. I admit I sometimes watch at 58 yrs old. I watched those cartoons all the time growing up in the 1970s. I’m remembering the heavy dose of Schoolhouse Rock we got, especially associated with the Bicentennial.

Every time I hear classical music I am reminded of Bugs Bunny. It was my first exposure to classical music and I learned many of the titles to the works from Bugs. Of course, I also remember what Bugs was doing to the tune.

Molly, Molly, Molly get your adverbs here.
Played this for my 6th grade students.

My parents got me a 12 DVD set a couple decades ago and I keep the player just for that. My son (12) loves to request a playback when Mom’s out of town.

TCM is a treasure. TCM has partnered with Fathom Events to show vintage films in theaters with Ben Mankiewicz hosting an introduction and afterword. TCM had a Rob Reiner memorial retrospective last week and Ben used his Fathom interview with Reiner on The Princess Bride, from 2017. Turns out that father Carl Reiner tried to buy The Princess Bride from William Goldman, it didn’t fly but Carl gave Rob the book and it was actually Rob’s favorite book as a kid. TCM celebrates excellence.

Truth! Rabbit of Seville is the 2nd short on tomorrow night, followed by What's Opera Doc. RoS is probably my favorite Bugs cartoon (One Froggy Evening is an absolute classic though).

How about a nice close shave?
Teach your whiskers to behave
Lots of lather, lots of soap
Please hold still, don't be a dope
Now we're ready for the scrapin'
There's no use to try еscapin'
Yell and scream and rant and rave
Thеre's no use, you need a shaaave!

or

What would you want with a wabbit?
Can't you see that I'm much sweeter?
I'm your little Senyeree-ter
You are my type of guy
Let me straighten your tie
And I shall dance for you!

I have most of the DVD sets and a few BRs. Some time back, HBO (now HBO Max) featured the LT classics, remastered and in Full HD. These cartoons are classics and really should be completely remastered and re-released in a full set on BR.

We used to have TCM with our Comcast package, but they moved it to the sports tier or some idiocy like that. Now that Xfinity deep-sixed our cablecard (and rendered our Tivo useless), we have YTTV, which includes TCM. I forgot how much I missed that channel.

One other part of the introduction to The Princess Bride is this quote from Reiner: “To make The Princess Bride we absolutely needed to cast X. No X, no movie.” Give it some thought, I’m wondering how the board will respond. Who is X? In hindsight the answer seems to be obvious.

I had them all too. Used to watch them with the kids. Wife gave them away recently.

Trump needs to watch a few Bugs Bunny episodes. Dems will support the opposite of whatever Trump proposes.

There is a moron board for this bullsh*t… take it over there

Bricka bracka firecracker sis boom bah. Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny. Rah rah rah.

We used to come back to our college apartment in the late 80s after being out partying and watch bugs Bunny cartoons on VHS tapes.

Yeah, that fits right in with the conversation.

Now go back to Mommy - she’ll get worried about you.

Thank you

They obviously do NOT make cartoon like this nowadays.

This was always a favorite

 

[Big_O]

My favorite cartoons are the old vintage Bugs Bunny - Road Runner series. Yosemite Sam calling everything he rides a “mule” is one of the things still cracks me up.

I had the good fortune to see Mel Blanc give a talk in the speaker series at Penn State as a student. He did so many voices and it was hilarious. In addition to the Warner Brothers cartoons, he also did voices for many of the Hanna Barbera cartoon series.

It starts tomorrow, Monday!!!! Apologies.

 

[PSU Mike]

“Oh Belvedere! Come here, boy!

“I’m not a stewing rabbit. I’m a fricasseing rabbit.”

“You have made me very angry. Very angry indeed!”

“Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal!”

 

[manatree]

Well, your faux pas gives me the opportunity to watch Cooley High for the first time in years. Thanks for that.

 

[PSU Mike]

Unequivocally the funniest piece in TV history.

The only thing I know about opera comes from Bugs Bunny.

There weren’t many acting giants back then!

"Colloquy" was the series, as I recall. Also had Allan Funt (Candid Camera) and Leonard Nimoy.

I’m 67 and remember my dad and me laying on the living room floor on saturday mornings watching Bugs, Daffy, his favorite was road runner. I have it set to record on my dvr and watch when I can. I wish METV would run Rocky and Bullwinkle on regular tv.

 

[Big_O]

"Colloquy" was the series, as I recall. Also had Allan Funt (Candid Camera) and Leonard Nimoy.

I remembered the name but wasn’t sure I spelled it right, so I left it as speaker series. I saw both Nimoy and Funt as well. Another very fascinating speaker was Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor for the Charles Manson cult murders.

We were both at at least two of them....

Crap. Wrong name. I had a student whose name is Molly and I would say her name for to the Lolly tune.
Thanks for the correction!

 

[LionJim]

Yosemite Sam tonight! Plus at 1am Wednesday, one of my favorites, Hair-Raising Hare.

One of the best.

The Hoboken penguin is another good one.

Sorry off topic - but want to say that the offtopic board of TOS is one of the worst boards I've ever seen. Threads like THIS are what I was hoping for!

When I left I didn’t look back. There’s a different mentality here.
