Wile E Coyote did catch the Roadrunner! Do a search.
Wile E Coyote chases Roadrunner through some pipes. When coming out of the pipes, Roadrunner is normal size and Coyote has shrunk. Coyote grabs Roadrunners leg and then holds up a sign saying "I caught Him, now what do I do". Then the cartoon ends.

In his book, Chuck Amuck, Chuck Jones explains some of the rules the writers and artists followed in making the Coyote-Road Runner series:
1. The Road Runner cannot harm the coyote except by going "Beep-beep!"
2. No outside force can harm the coyote—only his own ineptitude or the failure of the Acme products. (This rule was broken once.)
3. The coyote can stop any time—if he were not a fanatic. (Repeat: "A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim."–George Santayana; this quote appears on a promotional poster featuring the duo, with the quote appearing in Burma Shave-style clips on signs amid the roadrunner's air wake)
4. There may be no dialogue ever, except "beep-beep!" The coyote may, however, speak to the audience, occasionally with his own voice or through wooden signs that he holds up. (Actually, this rule was broken numerous times through the agonized screams and yelps that came from being damaged by his own products. In Zoom at the Top, there are two violations: the term "HA-HA!" as he takes cover behind a boulder, and the normal-voiced "ouch" after a bear trap snaps on him with a single drop of oil.)
5. The Road Runner must stay on the road—otherwise, logically, he would not be called "Road Runner". (This rule was broken, too.)
6. All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters—the southwest American desert.
7. All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.
8. Whenever possible, gravity should be made the coyote's greatest enemy.
9. The coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
There was also a tenth and more unofficial rule:
* The sympathy of the audience must lie with the coyote.

Because if he did there wouldn't be a roadrunner cartoon.

I don't know, but if he had the money to buy all that Acme crap why didn't he just buy dinner?

Because then the cartoon would end.
Why don't superheroes die? They want it to keep going and going and going...

There's genius and then there's common sense.

because the road runner was faster...by the way, in one episode he did.
