does anyone miss the good old days


im 19 and i used to always watch looney tunes, and i recently watched space jam and who framed roger rabbit?, and it brought me back to childhood, laughing at road runner and wyllie coyote, bugs and elma fudd, daffy, taz, tweety and sylvester, marvin, porky, etc, etc

does anyone feel weird about loving the looney tunes all over again?
i know i dont

Totally. I study animation and game design in college, and last summer I had to write about the great WB animators (Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Frank Tashlin, Friz Freleng, and the mighty Chuck Jones). This had to be the first research paper I've ever done that was--dare I say it--FUN!

There are millions of Games People Play,
But only one played by all.
It's called Life.

Yes, it is too bad the stupid Cartoon Network stopped showing them. You can see how well they did those cartoons. Okay, not all of them were masterpieces, but there were a lot of good ones that just made me laugh out loud as a kid.

Yeah, I really miss those cartoons also. Too bad this film failed so they didn't release the new Looney Toons cartoons they made.... just sad...

Nothing weird about that.

The more people I meet, the more I get why Jane Goodall spends all of her time with chimps.....

I don't feel weird. To this day, "Looney Tunes" sends me into peals of laughter. Pity that they don't make cartoons like that anymore, although "Animaniacs" was, in my mind, a "Looney Tunes" for the Nineties.

Looney Tunes shorts appeal to all ages. They will live forever.

I used to love Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon, back when they weren't afraid to admit that:

A: Not all the cartoons were in color,
B: Had characters that are still household names and
C: Had non-stop slapstick.

At the very least, the good news is Looney Tunes is on DVD and Cartoon Network still shows Tom and Jerry so if there's not Looney Tunes, there's something timeless on. Boomerang shows shorts in between shows and my favorite I've seen for about a decade is Thanks A Latte where Droopy Dog tries to get a tip for the wolf's latte.
