- Least of the sets so far...
This one has the fewest of the great Looney Toons. Definitely NOT a must-buy for any but the serious collector. I liked it and my kids liked it, but it was certainly not as good as the first two. I am questioning whether I will plunk down 50 bucks for the fourth collection, but I don't regret this purchase.

- LOONEY TUNES LIVE FOREVER
What can possibly be said? Bugs Bunny and all Warner Brothers cartoons are part of being an American! This will live long after we all are gone and hopefully the baby boomer adults(like me)who grew up watching Bugs, will have the decency to expose their children to how much fun this wonderful world of make believe was and will always be!

- THE TOONS THAT HELPED SHAPE A NATION! PUT THE SETS OUT FASTER!
What ties all men and women together between the ages of 1 and 100? Looney Tunes! That's what! The greatest cartoons ever produced anywhere anytime! What made the cartoons so special was that the creators made them for themselves! They wanted to make each other laugh and that is why so many of the gags go over the "little ones" heads. Bugs,Daffy,Porky,Elmer,Foghorn,Speedy,Wile E.,Roadrunner,Sylvester and Tweety......I'm sure I'm forgetting someone? These are the best characters in Toonsville! Now! Give me a hammer and a stick of dynamite and I will convince anyone who disagrees with this! Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones Rule!
PUT THE SETS OUT FASTER!

- 5 stars for the cartoons, minus two stars for Goldberg
Oh, joy! On each disc we are treated to a lecture on the offensiveness of the racial stereotypes that appear in some of the cartoons, courtesy of the sanctimonious Whoopi Goldberg. This from a person whose obscenity laced speech given at a pep rally for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry was so vulgar that Slim Fast dropped her as a spokesperson for their product. According to an article that appeared in the New York Post, "Whoopi Goldberg delivered an X-rated rant full of sexual innuendoes against President Bush last night at a Radio City gala that raised $7.5 million for the newly minted Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards. Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia, and boasted that she'd refused to let Team Kerry clear her material. 'I Xeroxed my behind and I folded it up in an envelope and I sent it back with a big kiss mark on because we're Democrats - we're not afraid to laugh,' she said."

I love the cartoons in this set, along with the special features and documentaries on the fine artists who created this classic material. It's a shame that Warner Home Video feels compelled to include the hypocritical Goldberg. This set deserves five stars, but Goldberg's self-righteous prattling is a major defect.
