And a Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon thread isn't complete without THIS... ….aka the LT/MM intros on crack. (Language Warning).

When I was six, I thought Bosko was a cartoon made up for that commercial as a joke as there's no way a network would be that mean to a cartoon character.

I loved that Nick was showing the Bosko cartoons. Mostly cause I had never seen them. Where as the main Looney Tunes cartoons I had seen many times thanks to them being all over the UHF channels.

You should see how Animaniacs treated Buddy (a similar character from that time whose cartoons were shown on Nickelodeon and scrapped about the same time as Bosko): they made him an insane villain who tried to kill the Warners because his cartoons were too boring.

BUDDY WAS REAL TOO?! Indeed he was (though his history with the Warners was obviously made up, and he never interacted with them). He’s been called “Bosko in whiteface”, and his cartoons were considered boring even at the time they were made.

All this talk about Bosko and Buddy, but what about Beans? No one ever talks about Beans anymore.
Or Oliver Owl, Ham and Ex or Gabby Goat for that matter.

That's one of the best Nickelodeon promos ever.

The nostalgia in this thread is off the charts.

You know growing up as a boy in Costa Rica, I had heard a rumor that mama had taken a lover. Perhaps Bosko was this man's name.
