I too miss Looney Toons and have several taped for when I feel nostalgic.

I still remember my Saturday morning TV schedule circa 1960. If I got up early, there was THE BIG PICTURE at 6:30, featuring WWII newsreels. Then at 7:00 was MODERN FARMER, from which I learned how to run a family sawmill, and grind valves for a tractor engine. Then the good stuff started at 7:30 with CRUSADER AND RAGS. These were originally serials with short episodes, but entire stories were shown in an hour show, and these were epic. Then, I'm a little hazy on the order, but RUFF & REDDY were probably next. I particularly remember an episode feature "the professor's" ( whatever his name was ) [Ah, Professor Gismo, I might have known] craft which burrowed deep into the earth - presumably the inspiration for THE CORE.

The highlight was LEONARDO LION, which included YERTLE TURTLE and the Wizard, and various other characters. My dad would be up by this time, and he used to identify the characters as various oldtime radio personalities. I thought he was nuts.

Ah, the good old days.
