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.
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.
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.
It’s strange that the experience of one of the most popular ways to watch the old Looney Tunes shorts will never be replicated.

I love this.
I wish the classic looney tunes and merry melodies cartoons were still aired today. They were really great.
MeTV Toons will be coming for June 25th next week of Tuesday June 25th.
The recording session audios were very interesting to listen to

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!!!
