I was reading an old tv guide and on the night of 5/21/80 there was a bugs bunny special and the episode description said that the Coyote finally catches up with the Road Runner after a 30 year chase. So did anyone ever see this?

Yes. I remember the Coyote chased the Road Runner through a huge pipe, and
when he came out the other end, the Road Runner was HUGE. The Coyote held
up a sign that said: "Well, you wanted me to catch him--now what do I DO
with him??" Funny cartoon. Sorry, that's all I can remember.

Yeah i remember that was a funny one. I also don't remember much else about it because I also saw it a long time ago.

I don't remember that at all.

I remember that cartoon as featured on the TV special "Bugs Bunny's Busting Out All Over".

I don't remember it.

as a separate cartoon (from "Bugs Bunny's Busting Out All Over") and titled, "Soup Or Sonic"...and it was shown extensively on Cartoon Network throughout the '90s. Now, I believe it's shown on Boomerang.

Let me guess you threw it away by an accident or someone taped over it?

I got a hold of Bugs Bunny's Busting Out All Over right after Easter. I will post pics from it right after I eat dinner.

Something else I have to get from you-lol

I remember seeing that. But he really didn't "catch him", it was kinda left open-ended, lol

Dear Cecil:

Hey Cecil, here's one that's been bugging me: Did Wile E. Coyote ever catch the Road Runner? I've seen one "sanctioned" cartoon by Warner Brothers where the Coyote has been shrunk and catches the Road Runner's huge leg, but I've heard rumors of a cartoon where he actually catches and eats the damn bird. Supposedly it was shown to soldiers heading off to Vietnam, to boost morale. Does this thing exist? --Keith Nielsen

Dear Keith:
Other than the episode you mention, no Road Runner-finally-gets-it cartoon has ever been released by Warner Brothers. But surely some animator somewhere has given it a stab. Supposedly an underground Road Runner cartoon has been making the rounds at college film societies, which often show shorts before the feature. After a few minutes of the usual high jinks, one of Wile E. Coyote's harebrained schemes actually works, and he catches and eats the Road Runner. The audience sits in stunned silence for a moment, then breaks into wild applause, whooping and cheering.

You can see it. Everybody can see it. No doubt that's why rumors of such an episode persist. But none of the hard-core Road Runner buffs I consulted--and these are people whose answering machines say, "We can't come to the phone right now, because either we're out chasing after roadrunners, or we're trying to recover from our latest runaround with Wile E. Coyote . . ."--had any knowledge of it.

Maybe someday something will turn up. In the meantime you'll have to content yourself with the one legit episode in which Wile E. honest to God gets the Road Runner. Here's the word from Jerry Beck, who with Will Friedwald wrote Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons (1989):

No, the Coyote never ate the Road Runner. He did, however, catch the bird in one cartoon, produced in 1980 by creator Chuck Jones. That film, Soup or Sonic, was part of a TV special called Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over. In that film the Coyote shrinks to tiny size but manages to grab the Road Runner's giant (to him) leg. Unfortunately the Coyote is like a tiny insect to the bird. He holds up a sign to the audience: "Okay wise guys, you always wanted me to catch him. Now what do I do?"

I remember seeing that. But he really didn't "catch him", it was kinda left open-ended, lol


Of Course 15 is old enough-lol I just usually try to avoid listening to what someone says about a Show if they were 5 or 6 when it was on the air. Not saying you just in general.

I was 10 in 1980, lol. But I've seen that many times since then, lol. I'm just saying, how can they really count that as "catching" the road runner? I mean Wile E. was the size of a bug next to the road runner at the time! I think it was just meant to be funny. It was left open-ended on purpose. Just like when people "die" on soap operas but they never find a body, in case they want to come back later....LOL!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The way it was promoted in the 1980 TV Guide was-"The 30 Year Chase Ends Tonight"-lol But of course it was a tricky ass way to get people to watch.

Probably threw it out like an idiot. LOL

well it does say "chase ends"...it doesn't say Wile E. gets to eat the bird for dinner.
