As to The Inspector, suddenly I am wondering if this morning’s toon wasn’t the one I was thinking about. I played almost every source of it online, and it looks smooth. Something looked sloppy when I saw an Inspector toon a while back. If anything would be removed, I’d think it to be the fists hitting two different “women.” The title and the scenes/scenery seemed familiar. And, why does the Inspector have no ears??? ��

It'd be an edit that's never been done to "What's Up, Doc?". Other networks have removed the antifreeze joke, and some Bugs violence against Elmer.

MeTV could do what CN does when it's difficult to edit, just ban the cartoon.

There's an earlier 1940s misc. cartoon with a Jolson bit, also.

As for The Inspector's lack of ears, what do you expect from DePatie-Freleng? LOL!

stevea · 02-13-2023, 06:34 PM

The Inspector has no ears thru the whole cartoon--I initially thought you couldn't see them since his coat collar was up. But even in the Santa suit he didn't have them.

There weren't any obvious edits on MeTV, though.

Today's post talks about the blogs 10th anniversary and Popeye's Ace of Space, which is seen frequently on Toon In With ME (not in 3D and unfortunately with the AAP opening logo attached). Beck considers Ace Of Space and Boo Moon (Casper) to be the best of the 50's 3D cartoon fad.

Interesting post on Cartoon Research. The Warner foray into 3-D (such as it was) was the 1953 Bugs Bunny cartoon, "Lumber Jack-Rabbit." The cartoon features the WB shield "popping out" of its Looney Tunes rings. Otherwise it seems to lack any of the interesting effects Ace of Space has. The later Bugs space cartoon, "Hare-Way to the Stars," would probably have been great in 3-D.

We have yet to see "Lumber Jack-Rabbit" on MeTV. The problem probably is Bugs' prominent singing of Jimmy Crack Corn (Blue-Tail Fly). It traces back to the 1800s and blackface usage, although I'm not sure how much of a problem this would be today, as it's so far-removed.

"Lumber Jack-Rabbit" and "The Mouse That Jack Built" are two that MeTV should air.

"Do I Smell Love In The Air?"

The Stupid Cupid (Daffy, Elmer - 1944 - Tashlin)

Don't Look Now (1936 - Avery)

Aloha Hooey (1942 - Avery [uncredited]) - story board by Michael Maltese, this is a Toon In With Me debut. The cartoon was completed by Bob Clampett, after Tex Avery started it in 1941 before he left Warners. This is a Turner dubbed version (according to Looney Tunes Wiki notes, it matches up with the EU Turner dubbed version), with a wrong-year ending cue edited on; therefore, the cartoon was not restored or the dubbed version was restored.

I-Ski Love-Ski You-Ski (Popeye - 1936 - Fleischer)

Stop! Look! and Hasten! (Road Runner - 1954 - Jones)

stevea · 02-15-2023, 08:26 AM

"Ride Along With Bill"

(Detective Abouttoretire tries to do Bill's cartoon curator job)

Baby Buggy Bunny (Bugs - 1954 - Jones)

Dicky Moe (Tom and Jerry - 1962 - Deitch)

Pink-A-Rella (Pink Panther - 1969 - Pratt)

The Spinach Roadster (Popeye - 1936 - Fleischer)

Little Boy Boo (Foghorn Leghorn - 1954 - McKimson)

stevea · 02-16-2023, 08:45 AM

"Telenovela!"

Hare Splitter (Bugs - 1948 - Freleng) - although this was just shown last Saturday, it's one of Freleng's funniest shorts. Bugs and "Casbah" compete for the affection of Daisy Lou, one of the fortunate rabbits that lives in a house instead of a hole.

Cartoons Ain't Human (Popeye - 1943 - Kneitel) - as noted by Leff and other sources, this is the last Popeye cartoon produced in black and white

Gem Dandy (Roland and Rattfink - 1970 - Chiniquy)

No! No! A Thousand Times No! (Betty Boop - 1935 - Fleischer)

Nuts and Volts (Speedy, Sylvester - 1964 - Freleng)

Charles Knox · 02-16-2023, 08:36 PM

In two weeks, Toon In With ME will have an episode dedicated to Porky Pig's 88th birthday.

I know some of the 30's cartoons in the list have already shown on Saturday morning. Still a sizable list of Porky Pig cartoons.

I hope they play the Porky Pig Show opening theme.

Since Billy West was doing the voices, there was a Dr. Zoidberg (Futurama) cameo / Easter egg in the Duck Dodgers cartoon.

On Sat. Mar. 4 Bugs and Friends, there is a MeTV debut of Country Mouse from 1935.

As to showing the Porky Pig Show theme, meh!

The problem was that Hal Seeger Studios did that animation, and not Warner Bros. Off-model-city! And the kids looked like the ones in the Beany & Cecil opening!

It should be noted that Barbara Cameron wrote the theme, as she also did for the more popular Road Runner Show theme.

Sounds kinda like the way I view the Format Films Road Runners. As in, I try not to view them.
