55 Bugs Bunny

First  watched : Uncertain

Sticking  with  ITV, they  had  the  rights  to  show  Bugs  Bunny  cartoons. I  think  a  detailed  analysis  of  the  wisecracking  rabbit  ( or  was  he  a  hare ? ) who  always  outwits  his  enemies  would  be  pretty  superfluous. In  his  fully  developed  form  he  emerged  in  1940  and  became  very  popular  during  the  war  in  such  shorts  as  the  not  much  shown  now  Bugs  Bunny  Nips  The  Nips.  The  cartoons  ITV  was  showing  all  pre-dated  1964  as  Bugs  went  into  hibernation  between  then  and  1976 . He  remains  a  popular  character  and  the  subject  of  new  material  to  this  day.
