Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show Close - March 1985
Ойын-сауық
ALL NEW! Here is a rather abrupt cartoon endings (Probably most abrupt choices to end the week's episode with), which leads to the final break with plugs for 3 Musketeers and Zips. Then it's the (truncated) close to BBRR, followed by a CBS In the News sponsored by Hi-C. After the segment is a promo for Muppet Babies

I can clearly remember seeing those video game bumpers and thinking games would never have graphics that good. Ah how innocent we were!
I miss those days.
My awesome 80s Childhood
Yup! And the time may be closing in on my needing to put in a vacation request! Still can't believe I forgot that ending... :)
Starting March 16, 1985, CBS divided The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show into 1-hour and 30-minute presentations in different timeslots, same as what NBC did with season 1 of The Flintstone Comedy Show (when it too was 90 minutes long) starting May 23, 1981.
Good to see that the classic WB shield had returned.
WOW... maybe that's why it seemed abrupt to me... I totally forgot about that last scene! Sounds like you have quite a bit of cool stuff as well! :)
Bugs Bunny Nuclear weapons & Hi C WOW life Rocks !!!
I believe that In The News was present through about 1987.... but I think their freqency did decline after 1985... :)
What kid doesn't love a Christopher Glenn puff piece on nuclear war? Nightmares to last a lifetime. Thanks, Glenn! /sarc
to quote Will Smith: "I asked her for Adidas and she bought me ZIPZ!"(0:43)
How crazy is it that they have a nuclear weapons presentation during kids programing. I mean holy crap!
1. Garbled tape (removed it) 2. Just before... the next week was the last before the schedule was overhauled... both ways, BBRR in Miami was just 1 hour for the vast majority of the season... :)
I think I remember what cartoon that was. It was one of the later "Rudy Larriva" Road Runner cartoons, but there was an extra minute that wasn't used here as CBS decided to cut the cartoon at that moment.
I liked whenever bugs bunny or Popeye announced in the news
Good thing the credits were cut, or we would have suffered this: "Don't go away, or you'll be in the doghouse. Everyone's Favorite Beag-" (a moment of than-unusual silence follows)
Heh, that is Alyssa Milano @2:08 in the yellow skirt. This was during the first year of Who's the Boss?

Omg...I didn't know she was on the commercial
Figures. After Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show is done, kids don't like the word nuclear weapons, they have to mute until it's done and on with the commercial and the 80s cartoon.
Could be. I don't remember offhand whether this cartoon came at the end or not, or CBS simply nixed the ending itself for other concerns (they were very scissors-happy with these cartoons).
To answer your question: In The News was present til about the later part of 1986 (not 1987; because I remember watching CBS a lot, I didn't see these segments in 1987 at all.) I always thought it was 1985 when it ended. Look on this website. There are two In The News segments from 1986 (one with the Ozone Layer and one with Klymath Indians). Hope this helps....

Yeah it was gone by '87 when we got a vcr. Would've loved to have it a year oe two earlier but oh well.
OK, that cartoon was "Boulder Wham!" I was talking about.
Yup!!! :)
Two questions: 1. Did CBS cut the credits because the cartoons ran over, or because they wanted to squeeze in extra ads? 2. Was this before or after the shuffle that caused BB/RR to be spilt (Parts 1 & 2 showing in the 10:00 hour and Part 3 closing out CBS Saturday Morning a 1:30)?
I can't reply to your comment due to whatever happened between KZread and Google at the moment, but the ending in the cartoon had another thing happen after the hypnotist bit. I have one taping of it in my collection from '82 my mom made that showed what it was. The last part though had him trying to lure the road runner over and give him a karate chop. watch?v=ucDfTpwTHIU
I just have a good memory!
"Boulder Wham" must have ended this one.
The only thing I can think of (and it was the final cartoon of that day), was Wile E. holding up a That's All Folks sign... that sort of allusion or imagery (Like in Whoa Be Gone) always seemed to be cut out... :)

It came from Boulder Wham (1965)
Yup! Although I believe the cartoon ended abruptly originally, it was a little jarring as a kid to watch it end coldly like that... :)

Was 84-85 the last season they did "In The News" segments?
I know Mr. Stalling,Mr. Franklyn and Mr. Lava,but I don't know John Seely or William L. Hendricks. What did they do?

John Seely was a composer of stock music made for Capitol Records during the 50's and 60's. His music was used on many sitcoms and children's shows from the era, like Donna Reed, Hanna Barbera productions from 1958-1960, and on 50's and early 60's episodes of The Gumby Show, and on Davey and Goliath. The reason he is credited here is because his stock music tracks were used on 6 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts from 1958, created during a musicians' strike. 2 notable cartoons from this time period were the Roadrunner short, "Hook, Line and Stinker", and what is considered one of the worst Bugs Bunny shorts of all time, "Pre-Hysterical Hare".

The non-Chuck Jones Roadrunner cartoons are almost DEPRESSING, the way poor Wile E. Coyote kept going over the cliff throughout the whole short! ("Boulder Wham, obviously) plus at the beginning of this video the way the screen just goes black after Wile E. hits the earth, it's almost like you'd expect to hear some narrator off screen to say, "And that...was the end...of Wile E.Coyote."
Cool In the News segment. But man, that Hi-C ad *sucked*. Kids shouldn't do stupid rap-dance shit. But then, neither should adults.
