I always wondered why stations could never preserve the full presentations of these cartoons in their individual form, when thrown in syndication.<br /><br />I now kind of understood what's the deal with the original first airings and when the individual cartoon credits cards were initially made. But I still would like to know why and how that bucher and incomplete version of the opening titles....Mihai Chetreanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923633269863313559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-82769918845160254112012-11-24T08:00:48.389-08:002012-11-24T08:00:48.389-08:00The fact that the 1958-59 shorts are credited as &...The fact that the 1958-59 shorts are credited as "An H-B Enterprises Cartoon" really should be enough to show the credits were contemporaneously filmed along with the shorts. Bill & Joe's studio was notorious over the years for 'modernizing' their studio credits whenever possible, so had these been made 20-30 years after the fact, they would never gone back and tried to recreate the 'look' of the late 50s in the title style (which is turn was a riff on the graphic designs of the later MGM cartoons -- even the graphics of the word 'CARTOON' in the opening credits was borrowed from the design used in the late 1940s/early 1950s MGM shorts).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-76856993364222708302012-11-24T07:11:05.166-08:002012-11-24T07:11:05.166-08:00At least in NYC, the Quick Draw cartoons first pla...At least in NYC, the Quick Draw cartoons first played in afternoon syndication (on WNEW Ch. 5 at 5 PM) in about 1966-67. There were separate shows for Quick Draw, Augie, and Snooper and Blabber. <br /><br />That was THREE days of the week. Another day was Bugs Bunny, and I don’t remember what else was on the remaining day (of 5 weekdays). <br /><br />HERE was when I first saw the “credits versions” of Quick Draw, Augie, and Snooper and Blabber that you describe. I’m certain the other New Yorkers who comment here can verify this. This is where I first noticed the name of Michael Maltese, and associated him with other great cartoons like Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner – credits also gleaned from syndicated WB prints. <br /><br />The Huck and Yogi shows played in more or less their original form (with Pixie and Dixie and Yakky Doodle trading shows) until about that same 1966-67 – again, at least here in NYC, to my best recollection. <br /><br />Then they were gone for a few years – and sometime about the spring of 1970 – at that same 5 PM, on the same WNEW Ch. 5, there was a half-hour that consisted of a Huck cartoon, and Quick Draw, and a Yogi – and ALL THREE cartoons had the credits openings! There was no actual “show intro or closing” – and the cartoons themselves were the only place where credits were seen. <br /><br />I’d always assumed, with no actual reason behind my thinking, that they were produced this way for “independent run” (in order to be “not part of a larger show” but for “kiddie host” shows), as so many other made-for-TV cartoons were in the ‘60s. <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-51859492848615229282012-11-23T12:57:50.385-08:002012-11-23T12:57:50.385-08:00I remember for a while CN aired Huck and Yogi cart...I remember for a while CN aired Huck and Yogi cartoons WITH the credits, but WITHOUT any music under them.
