Dumb question about Looney Tunes

Posted on 06/09/2019 3:32:17 PM PDT by MNDude

When I was a kid, I loved to wake up Saturday morning to watch The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner hour. I bought the Looney Tunes golden collection which should contain most of the episodes, and it is money well spent. Those episodes never get old.

But I was wondering, is there anyone here old enough to remember how they were originally broadcast back in the 40s and 50s? I doubt they had Saturday morning cartoon lineups back then. Did you have to go to the movie theaters to watch them or what?

Groucho Marx was risque and he was fun to watch. As I grew older I begin to see and appreciate the double intendre in his humor. Innocent by today’s standards.

Dad and I both enjoyed his TV show. It expanded my educational horizons because I learned about new things and places from the questions and answers posed to the contestants.

Mom not so much because of her strict moral upbringing. She did loosen up a bit when she discovered “soap operas”. But mom’s job was to keep us (men) on the straight and narrow.

Not being born until the tail end of 59, and not even seeing them until sometime in the 60’s, let alone even knowing about “order”.... :-)

Can’t help you. Sorry.

“Don’t forget Space Angel.”

Oh Lordy! One of my brothers and I would dress ourselves and the dog as astronauts and go underneath the bed and play Space Angels! The dog was Taurus!

I was 6 at the time. What a hoot! Glad we were computer free back then

My dad loved gadgets and fixing them. Our basement TV was an early 50’s model with a 12” screen, full of TV tubes and my dad was always fussing over it.

One night when I was about 12, I was flipping channels on it and I came across a show with a guy who had a weird accent and became hooked. It was William F. Buckley and Firing Line. That’s when I became a Conservative. (Although my dad thought a 12 yo being interested in politics was really weird)

About 10 years ago met Buckley Jr. and got to tell him this story. (I suspect he thought I was a weird kid too.)

In the forties and some thirties they were feature films.

There were Saturday AM Cartoons in 1952

Thank you for the memories. The last drive-in in my area closed twenty plus years ago. Sure do miss those double features and family evenings at the movies. The loony tunes were great too.

Many past dates spent there parked. Popcorn, cokes and laughter at ourselves and the movies. Soon found fried chicken and fixings brought from home and all was well

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was GREAT watching outside at the drive-in!

Our son had just been born. My mom flew out to help so we got a “night out” and went to the drive-in. Terrific memory.

Love it...”I say, I say!”

Hahahaha...whoever thought of that. Sigh. They sure don’t make cartoons like that anymore!
