Well, it gets better and better. Jerry Beck (the REAL King of Cartoons, if ya arsk me) reports:

Details of its contents have been floating around various websites for a couple of weeks. TVshowsOnDVD.com has the best listing - but even their information has a few omissions and errors: for example, the Snafu and Hook cartoons are actually part of Disc 3 (not Disc 2) and the Walter Lantz Hook cartoon, “Take Heed Mr. Tojo”, and the Private Snafu cartoon “Gas” are unfortunately not included, despite what others on the Internet have reported. There are a few things on the set that nobody has mentioned yet. Disc 1 has a bonus section featuring of over a dozen rare Bugs Bunny Show prime time TV commercials for sponsor General Mills, for such products as Tang and Post Cereals. I’m particularly delighted with the inclusion of these little advertising gems, most transferred from 35mm elements, which were produced during the waning days of the original studio.

He's got more info, including some screen shots, up at www.cartoonbrew.com.

Okay, okay, okay all ready! Reading the numerous posts about the Looney Tunes has convinced me to kill my savings and order the 5-volume Golden set from Amazon. They currently have a sale where you can get all 5 volumes for $129.99. It's steep, but that's a 60% savings over retail. Plus no tax or shipping costs.

You won't be disapointed. They're fantastic sets. The cartoons look amazing and the special features are generally great.

Yes, I usually paid quite a bit for those sets, but believe me, they are worth it at the $64.95 SRP. But all 5 for $130? That's over 300 Warner cartoons, and that's one of the best deals on the DVD market ever.
