It seems like a pattern, where we will see some of the Color Rhapsody cartoons make their Toon In With ME debut, during the first few weeks of the year. The rest of the year, we won't see many more until around the holidays at the end of the year.

[stevea]

Yeah, and what an impressive debut for Warners: The Wacky Worm--wow! That's been on MeTV+ and probably MeTV Toons. There are some other miscellaneous cartoons from the 30s and 40s like that, too.

Since they have shown "Ain't That Ducky" on Toon In With Me with a "product of its time" disclaimer, it's time to get brave and show other cartoons that set their little hearts aflutter.

[stevea]

Case of the Missing Hare (Bugs - 1942 - Jones) - of note are this abstract backgrounds used in this and a few other cartoons from the Jones unit around this time

Believe It Or Else (1939 - Avery) - a spot gag cartoon with an edit around 7:07 which cuts a "berth of a baby" gag on MeTV. Since the restored copy may be the same as the 1990s Turner dubbed (edited) copy, it's possible this cartoon may be permanently censored.

Hare-Un Scare-Um (1939 - Hardaway, Dalton) - early prototype Bugs. Even this version of him manages to dress up as a dog in drag.

You Were Never Duckier (Daffy - 1948 - Jones)

By Word of Mouse (Sylvester - 1954 - Freleng) - reissued in the DePatie-Freleng years, when there was no budget for Blue Ribbon reissues; so, it retains its original opening

Prince Violent (Bugs - 1961 - Freleng [co-director Hawley Pratt]) - during the anti-violence movement in the 60s and 70s, this cartoon was retitled "Prince Varmint" (as Yosemite Sam calls Bugs). At some point Warners even provided updated titles for later showings on such outlets as Cartoon Network. Other edited versions exist, but on MeTV the original version is restored.

[stevea]

"The Cowboy State" (season 5 show 2)

Tweet Tweet Tweety (Sylvester, Tweety - 1951 - Freleng)

Pre-Hysterical Man (Popeye - 1948 - Kneitel)

Barney's Hungry Cousin (1953 - Lundy)

Hot Noon or 12 O'Clock for Sure (Woody - 1953 - Smith) - Toon In with Me debut; was heavily censored on The Woody Woodpecker Show years ago

Hip Hip-Hurry! (Road Runner - 1958 - Jones) - music by John Seely, one of six late 1958 Warner cartoons without a scored music track

[stevea]

"Time Capsule Trivia Hour" (season 4 show 9)

(originally aired Wed. Jan. 17, 2024)

Bedtime Bedlam (Woody - 1955 - Smith)

Feather Finger (Speedy, Daffy - 1966 - McKimson) - original airing in 2024 was a Toon In with Me debut

Fox-Terror (Foghorn Leghorn - 1957 - McKimson)

Wee-Willie Wildcat (Barney Bear - 1953 - Lundy, Avery)

Baby Butch (Tom and Jerry - 1954 - Hanna, Barbera)

[stevea]

(originally aired Tue. July 30, 2024)
