Looney TV: Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite (1989)

 Before Cartoon Network came into existence in 1992, Nickelodeon was home to a large chunk of syndicated Looney Tunes shorts that were otherwise not airing on ABC, which was on its 3rd go-round carrying the classic shorts.

Initially, shorts from the pre-Bugs Bunny era of the 30's, featuring the likes of Buddy and Bosko, were mixed with 60's shorts, mostly produced by Format Films and/or DePatie-Freleng after the Termite Terrace studio at WB was closed. Eventually, Nick & ABC began swappiing shorts until both terminated their contracts with WB, as Cartoon Network became the exclusive home of the Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies in 2000 (extended to include Boomerang, of course).

Nick suits were able to program a block as part of the primetime Nick at Nite block, which didn't last as long as the daytime blocks. As with ABC, many of the shorts were edited for various reasons.

Right now, here's a sample compilation of bumpers, plus the open & closing.

10 years was a pretty healthy run on Nick, but given how CN/Boomerang have mistreated Bugs and the gang in recent years, the short term successes of The Looney Tunes Show and New Looney Tunes aside, and the turmoil surrounding HBO Max, maybe WB should consider lowering the price of those Golden Collection DVD sets......
