Are you my long lost brother? I thought it was just me! Unbeliveable!!! Do you have any idea how to get tapes of those episodes? They were classic!!

They are still classic, too! And - just keep an ear cocked to the Cartoon Network, since it shows them very regularly; as, also, such gems as these among my top favourites:

Dough For The Do-Do (Or: Dali meets Porky!)
Tweety and the Beanstalk (Classic line: The giant makes his entrance - Fee, fi, fo, fat - I tawt I taw a puddy tat!)
Porky's Duck Hunt (Daffy Duck makes his premiere, with lots of "whoo-hoo!" and one line of dialogue: Her-her-her-her-her...don't let it bother ya, chief...I'm just a crazy, darn fool duck!)
Baseball Bugs (Bugs takes on the Gas House Gorillas - they made baseball's real Gas House Gang, the 1931-35 St. Louis Cardinals - resemble tea time with the Daughters of the American Revolution)
You Ought To Be In Pictures (Daffy bugs Porky to defect from the 'toons and have a whack at feature films - which he does, mingling and mangling on an actual WB film set. Cameo appearance by Looney Tunes mastermind-cum-tyrant Leon Schlesinger himself.)
I forget the title, but it's a Road Runner cartoon in which Bugs Bunny stands in for the Road Runner. (Classic line: Oh, uh, hi, folks. The Road Runner hurt his knee making a hairpin turn, so they asked me to finish this picture for him...let's see...this is about where the Road Runner goes......and then blam! he's off at supersonic speed a la Mr. Beep-Beep...)

Ballot Box Bunny (Bugs against Yosemite Sam for mayor. Classic line, and probably pondered by some Clintonista speechwriters: Yosemite Sam campaigning, bellowing out, There's enough fresh air and sunshine in this greeeeeeeeat country of ours for everybody, and I'll see to it that you get yours! One flaw: Cartoon Network, for some dumb reason, edited out the classic finish, where Bugs and Sam stand dumbstruck down Main Street after the Dark Horse - a horse, in fact - won the election. Bugs: Anyone for a game of Russian Roulette? Sam: Hands Bugs the pistol. Picture fades to black. Bang! Bugs (ears spread outward): Heh! I missed! Sam (blown up in the face): Aaaaaaah hate that rabbit!)

....just for openers...
