Yes and the sad thing is that you will hardly ever see them on tv and if you do it'll be late at night and not only have they pulled the politically incorrect cartoons they've pulled any that have even a touch of violence. I understand that Bugs Bunny singing Mammy in black face is racist but what harm is gonna come from the Road Runner dropping and Anvil on Wile E. Cyote? If you child is gonna do that, shoot a duck in it's beak with a 12 gauge, or throw a stick of dynamite below deck on a ship the problem isn't the cartoon, it's you. I never did any of the stuff found in cartoons. I knew it wasn't real and I had enough morals to know it's wrong to do so. We need to start taking responsibility for our children's actions instead of blaming everyone and everything BUT us
SMH!

The writers and directors openly admitted that the cartoons were written to make each other laugh. They designed the cartoons for adults who didn't smoke during the intermission at the movie theaters. Since they were cartoons there was also an appeal to children, although most of the humor was lost on them.

Looney Toons were originially made for the theater viewing public, and the theater viewing public back then are usually adults.

It is true most of the humor is lost on the children. I watched them as a child and loved them but as an adult I laugh more because I understand the humor
