Since the new MeTV Toons channel has a hunk of WB cartoons, I say that they ought to consider assembling these into re-created Bugs Bunny Shows. I don care if some parts are black & white.
Funny thing: in Germany this show was aired in full colour, albeit they only used some of the inbetween segments. Now, the old Looney Tunes cartoons are aired in their original form here, too, with a new German translation closer to the original, but they still use the German adaptation of the “Bugs Bunny Show” intro to introduce the WB cartoon segments on TV.
Too bad no one thought back then, "I better save all these wrap-around animations so fans of cartoons in 60 years will be able to watch them with whatever kind of international electronic form of communication that will be common in the future. They would really appreciate it."
Even though I grew up with Looney tunes. I didn't know the Bugs Bunny show existed until now. I really enjoy that they use the characters to educate the audience on basic life (like the diet short) while being entertaining. But what really amazes me is at 26:09 they were able to teach this on how they animate a cartoon, not just for kids but young artists who want to get into animation!
When I was a kid in the 90s in Ireland, it was all in colour. Every Saturday afternoon on RTE Television. I watched it every week. Bugs Bunny would come out from the Warner Brothers shield in colour and present the show. The title of the episodes were not there. They were only 22 minutes long. Three cartoons. How can Warner Brothers not have access to that for the DVD extras etc. I saw it every week I tell ya! Now I wish I taped them but it was a given! Roadrunner Show also!
Same in Germany. In 1990, just when the East received cable and satellite TV which brought us the ad-funded TV stations, the station “Pro7” (now called ProSieben) showed cartoons from 6:30 PM till 8:15 PM shortly before the prime time film started, they did that every Monday to Thursday. Three shows only with ad breaks between the shows. There was usually one show of the super hero variety (Hanna Barbera Batman being the first, I.e., the cartoon adaptation of Adam West Batman), followed by the Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig or Speedy Gonzalez and Road Runner show, followed by one of the Hanna-Barbera classics like Flintstones, Jetsons or Scooby Doo. Together with the Saturday and Sunday morning cartoons on (then) all three ad-funded stations we could receive (RTL, SAT1, Pro7) it was the best time to get the best selection of cartoons from the 1930s up to the late 1980s. The weekend morning programming was often shown in a way that the shows started and ended nearly at the same time so you basically could select between one of three options every 30 minutes. Albeit being late to the party, I could still experience this “get up with a bowl of cereal” magic and it was a truly special time.
This really takes me back! One show I remembered vividly began with a Bugs/Sam cartoon, where, after a big safe lands on Sam it begins new bridging footage where the impact sends Sam down to Hell. The devil decides to give Sam a break if he can send Bugs down in his place, setting up a second Bugs/Sam cartoon. After Sam gets finished off again and is back down there, the devil gives him another chance, segue to a third Bugs/Sam cartoon, and back down with him. By this point Sam has enough and tells the devil he'll have to try himself, he's staying down there. They used the same footage in a six-minute theatrical short, with clips from older cartoons, but I thought it worked much better as a 30-minute show.
The cartoon you are referring to is called Satan’s Waitin (not to be confused with a Sylvester/Tweety cartoon of the same name). Unfortunately, the episode is lost, save for a few pictures. That episode would be the basis for the 1963 short Devil’s Feud Cake, and that in turn would be the basis for the first segment in the 1981 Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
@@diannekelley1508 Seeing some existing bits of the show, I was surprised to see the Roman Coliseum segment was made up to be a movie production, recycling footage where the Charles Laughton emperor became a director - forgot all about that.
It’s strange that the experience of one of the most popular ways to watch the old Looney Tunes shorts will never be replicated.

You forgot the Terrytoons with the cut scenes.

You do realize that Bugs is a Damn Yankee! He's definitely not a Texas rabbit!

MeTV Toons will be coming for June 25th next week of Tuesday June 25th.
I wish the classic looney tunes and merry melodies cartoons were still aired today. They were really great.

IN MEMORYS DEFINTLY 😢🎉❤😢🎉❤
Are the Black and White versions more sought after? Just curious
no, the color versions.
IIRC, all the episodes exist in B&W
ABC originally telecast the series in black and white in prime-time (1960-'62). Eventually, they colorcast it on Saturday mornings.
Maybe both. They’re both lost.
I love Bugs Bunny and Duffy duck and all looney toones!!!
