the bastardization of old looney tunes cartoons

are any of these still intact?
i remember in the 1980's,they started getting hard on cartoon "violence" and started chopping up many of the classics.
many of the individual shorts i watched in the 1970's became choppy,
the flow was disrupted,and some of them made no sense now at all.
the 80's version of "the bugs bunny & roadrunner show" was a prime example.

a classic example-
"what's opera doc" which was originally around the 7 minute mark,
was now around three minutes.
i am hoping they dig in the vaults to find the original prints of some of these classics and release them.
NOT what the networks seem to be running now.

I agree with this completely, & haven't watched cartoons for a long while now. I think I actually stopped watching because I pretty much stopped watching TV because I prefer being in front of a computer instead of in front of a TV set, but this poor editing job is another reason to stop watching TV.

There was even an episode on The Simpsons where they had a voilent, "Itchy And Scratchy Show" & Marge Simpson led a protest on the voilence. Bart & Lisa felt that the new cartoons were boring & turned off the TV & started their own mischief (like calling Moe's bar with those prank calls, I think). Lesson learned from that is don't fool around with what works well.

I wonder if they ever came out with the original & unedited versions on DVD maybe. If not, they should. I remember when watching these cartoons when I was a kid, it was fun watching the 'bad guy' have his evil intentions backfire.

exactly. there was one bugs bunny where yosemite sam was a knight and he told him he'd inheirit money,but he had to stop swearing?almost EVERY scene where he fell down the stairs was cut out. it was a running joke in the whole short that he kept falling.continuity destroyed.
