Yep, that's why they were banned. They were too dangerous in practice.

A mega blast from the past

I remember a lot of the games, shows and cereal commercials, but not all.

Cartoon birds were rather annoying for some reason, but at least Foghorn Leghorn was funny.

The cartoon characters I could never warm up too though were Disney's. Micky and Porky and their friends were really lame. However I liked the Wonderful World of Disney that aired on Sunday.

Porky pig wasn't Disney. He was one of the Loony Tune characters along with Bugs and the gang. I always liked Mickey and Donald etc. myself. Great fun, but to each their own.

They did have a cartoon where two kids are watching the show and one asks why the Coyote is chasing the Road Runner. The Coyote stops the chase and explains using a cook book that he has to hand. lol. I'd never thought of the issue of $ to buy the gadgets from Acme, but you do wonder why he kept on buying from them when things never worked out for him. Once he bought some earth quake pills and hid them in some bird seed. It didn't affect the Road Runner so the Coyote swallowed a large number of them before noticing the fine print that the pills had no effect on Road Runners.

Yes you are right about Porky. I should have remembered the speech impediments that so many of the Loony Tunes characters had, and he definitely had one! I think Warner Bros bought out LT at some point. Daffy was one of my favorite characters. I think one of the funniest scenes was when Daffy and Donald had an appearance together in the Who Shot Roger Rabbit movie. Daffy gets mad and says something like, "That's the lassssssst thime I work with a duck with a sthpeech impediment!"
