Certainly brings back old memories when we had no internet, most of us didn't even have cable yet. Love this stuff, especially Saturday Mornings where this was THE DAY I always looked forward to as a kid.

Wow, the Chuck E. Cheese mascot has changed a lot over the years!

Those green and blue backdrop shapes always stood out to me, because they were shaped like an ivory plastic night light my grandmother had when I was a kid, watching this show

I used to get so sad when I heard the closing theme because it was as if Bugs & the gang were saying goodbye to me...thank God for Boomerang.

Well, it was the end of the show for another week. Of course, at the time they also aired Bugs and his "friends" on the weekdays as well so I'd see them in other cartoons anyway.

On another note...that signaled the end another Saturday morning. Then, came Saturday afternoon (perfect time for pre-1950s movies and material, or sports).

I really miss my childhood.

These clips always make me smile and want to cry! Ahhh, the memories...

No matter what I'm feeling or thinking about, whenever I see a new clip in my subscriptions list and click it, I'm instantly brought back to being a boy again, watching TV in my grandparents den some near-forgotten Saturday long ago. Thanks so much for posting these! Also, in reading your desciption on this and other videos, I'm really impressed with your knowledge of these clips, WREYtube.

... it's crazy to think that this clip is weeks away from hitting 30! These were my first memories of Bugs and the gang... :D

September 1981 was when this Bugs Bunny Road Runner show closing (and opening) was first done-Bugs and characters in formal wear.

I remember that Levi's ad!

"Tommy, hurry up, we have to make our plane to Grandma's!" "Okay, mom, just let me watch In the News and I'll be ready!"

Those "In The News" segments just went over my head as a kid.

You can't go wrong with Levi's, Bugs Bunny, and In the News.

From "Smile America" to airplane hijackings. Talk about mood whiplash.

that "in the news" globe and music used to scare the crap out of me back in the day

Thanks!!! ... and it's very much the same for me, which is why I try to share them! :)

Yup... hard to believe so much time has passed... :)

If you look at the roman numerals of the copyright year at 1:44, It's from 1981. This means that CBS and Warner Bros debuted the new titles with (new) background and characters in tuxedos. This lasted for three seasons. The vaudeville titles (1968, 1975-80) were retired. Nice variant of the classic WB logo at 1:49. Thank you, WREYTube again for more memories. Hope to see more Satam stuff from the early 80's real soon.

I'd love to see the 1983-84 version of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show's opening, part of which was recycled for the 1988-92 version of _The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show_ intro.

This was the BB/RR show I grew up with.

This classic in the news story is well-known to me. Regarding the history of hijacking. The one thing that bothers me the most is: what I hated about Gilligan's planet? It's about the city the alien robot built for his planet disappears. Whatever happened to what happens here stays here? That's the slogan for the Las Vegas entertainment business. This was also right long before Bugs Bunny was killed in Space Jam 2: A New Legacy. Would I dare say I like the Tiny Toons much better? Bugs Bunny definitely goes totally the opposite/reversed of Ren and Stimpy.

I grew up with Chuck E Cheese. It bought out the Showbiz's in my area

"...with an eerie subject that would come in ways no one would ever have foreseen 18 years later." Or even two years later; as there were a string of hijacking and terrorist attacks in 1985 as well.

While much of a point was made over whom these works were initially aimed at, much less has been said about how that adult demographic actually responded to these works. Nor could the Fall of the Studio System possibly have been predicted (leading to the Dark Age of Animation). But animators do have children. And sooner or later the torch has to be handed off to at least one of them. The Saturday morning cartoon became their retirement home and exposed them to fresh new eyes and minds. Eventually, Bugs Bunny / Road Runner would be far and away the #1 entry in the weekend bloc. The surviving Golden Age players never imagined themselves getting right back into the game in such a big way. By the time Guided Muscle closed out the last airing of Bugs Bunny / Tweety in 2000, Looney Tunes was not only out of danger but became the emperor emeritus of animation. Kids were lapping up adult satire and never thinking about it.

The opening of the Crest ad is done by Jackson Beck

HOLY CRAP CHUCK WAS SCARY BACK THEN

These credits are from 1981. I know that because I translated the Roman numeral on Google.

WOW! Those Zenith's were very high in quality... The gameroom in my Parent's house had a 1982 Zenith that was still working when they sold the house in 2003! :)

This was the definitive version of bugs bunny. in the early sixties, he would appear with an oval head,and fritz freling would illustrate him with strange features. This era was the end of America's Golden Age. Since then we have been in steady decline.

Interesting to think this segment of IN THE NEWS would talk about Airplane HiJackings. In this day of Political correctness, you wouldn't want to air this and heaven knows young Muslim kids back then grew up probably to be a part of the 9/11 incident.
