In August 1997, Canada's Youth Televison (Or YTV) picked up for the first time in its history the Warner Bros. Animation catalog by first, a straight compilation of the Post-48s WB cartoons named simply, well, Bugs Bunny.
The listings consists of almost 230 individual shorts, mostly released between September 1948 and the end of 1958 (With a fewer spaces from the waning days of Termite Terrace), splitted onto 77 half-hour with three cartoons each. The only double-dip featuring in them was
Devil May Hare, respectively in the 31th half-hour and turning back again in the 49th one.
YTV also picked up such occasional and one-off TV specials airing originally in Prime-Time between 1977 and 1991. Except for some specific specials like Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales and others that featuring only brand-new animation, this was for many of the Z Generation their first introduction to the franchise, when we can't longer counted these endless rotations on TVA, ABC and in others place where they were seen as fillers.
Unlike the 2011s rotation of Teletoon Retro's Looney Tunes, YTV has took some "risks" by plays a fewer controversial shorts, some that were already pulled off entirely in the 1990s decade. Shorts as Caveman Inki or the slavery-themed Wise Quackers been pulled off to other shorts after only one airing. Furthermore, shorts that deemed too racist to be seen today, like Southern Fried Rabbit or Two Crows from Tacos were repeated without any problems. A kind of restriction that over ten years later when Teletoon Retro have opening, was likely obligated to following it.
The rotation of this compilation consists of shorts that were playing, either in alphabetical order of titles or by ran the same character star in the row. The Tweety and Sylvesters series relegated to 25 shorts while Daffy gotten 24 at his disposal. The solo Porkys been more luckier by the final dozen of his own filmography. Foghorn Leghorn been also in luck with a dozen of the fan-favorites, mostly from Pre-1953s shutdown and a few after it. Pepe gets almost every of his Pre-48s filmography, except for Really Scent and Who Scent You?, and sadly for Speedy and Road Runners fans, YTV picked up only the earlier gaps of their respective series of films.
This is a miracle that the youth channel never showed anything from the Depatie-Freleng or worse, the Seven Arts era, so to its credits, YTV picked up the utmost essential shorts of Post-48s filmography, a few years shy after the historic merger between Time Warner and Turner and before the first Pre-48s Looney Tunes short is going to be released on an official Warner Home Video product for the first time.
Originally, it having to ran 76 half-hours, while a random one, airing just once in December 21th 1998 was showing at a surprise, few weeks before the compilation gets a permanent rest. The shorts consisted of What's Up, Doc?/Robin Hood Daffy/Each Dawn I Crow. One may assume that this is originally the 58th half-hour that was set in motion to be playing back YTV gets the broadcasting rights of the shorts (With WB shield, title-card and the "That's All Folks!" tag at a first for Television at this time), but was delayed for over a year that the initial half-hour having to wait the bitter end of 1998 for arriving finally to TV.
Another half-hour that went step at chronologically the #63 one, Rabbit Rampage/The Stupor Salesman/Chow Hound was surprisingly sandwiched in the earlier of the series when the compilation been in reruns. But for the sake of clarity, we will compiled the episode by the way it was originally seen and thinking when the program was aired.
Otherwise, cartoons were playing all unedited and complete (Even the more racial ones) as the way it was created and originally seen in Home Video and theaters.
Official order of airings could be found in such places like the whole Kevin McCrory personal page that consists of easily the most accurate history of the Warner Bros. filmography on Television and the YTV's Schedules Archive page.
