 Everything 
                        started with a pilot cartoon starring "Bosko the Talk-Ink 
                        Kid" entitled "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" in 1929. The cartoon 
                        was very popular and the creators followed it up with 
                        a show you might now called "Merry Melodies". The other 
                        characters that you know were then slowly added to the 
                        "Merry Melodies" line up. They were as follows: Porky 
                        Pig, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Sylvester, 
                        Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.
 
 The Warner Brothers cartoons have been shown on television 
                        for more than four decades! Their success on the small 
                        screen has confounded their creators, who only intended 
                        for them to be exhibited in theatres within a year of 
                        production. While it is true that some of the cartoons 
                        have outdated themselves with references to forgotten 
                        Hollywood celebrities, films, or early television series, 
                        most have a timeless quality that has appealed to the 
                        comedic and visual sensibilities of more than four generations 
                        of viewers.
