"Who is responsible for this, this?!"

So, classic Looney Tunes are to air on Cartoon Network again. Honestly, it's not just a wham-bam-just to placate the fans of old cartoons that still watch us-ma'am.

What sticks in my mind, though, is the ad that promoted today's marathon, which featured Daffy (voiced by - I presume - Joe Alaskey) stating that "The Looney Tunes are coming back to Cartoon Network, though you could argue that we never left the building." This comes over a shot of an Acme (of course) storage door being pounded on, along with various soundbites of the characters wanting the door opened/to be let out.

What I see this commercial as is the brainchild of a staffer who loves the Looney Tunes, but a) hated that they weren't available on TV and b) kept his mouth shut, so as to avoid unemployment. Given the channel's current schedule, there's no way it couldn't be argued that they'd prefer to sweep the Looney Tunes under the proverbial rug. To the mastermind of this ad, I salute you.
