I knew about the special, but didn't know what shorts they were playing afterwards. Thanks!

Duck Amuck still makes me laugh out loud every time I see it.

I've liked Chuck's Looney Tunes stuff.. but his MGM Tom and Jerry and that weird Bear the Wasn't not so much. I wish they would have included Rocket Bye Baby.

I would hate to be the people that actually dvr'ed this evenings shorts since they are seperated by cartoon, and they seem to cut off right at the end of the shorts.

Re: Turner Classic Movies Tribute to Chuck Jones

I knew about the documentary being on tv, but not the rest of the shorts (I always avoid DVDTalk for a couple of days before each new episode of South Park, so I can watch them without any spoilers)...I caught half of the Phantom Tollbooth last night, I've wanted to see it for years. It was one of my favorite books when I was a kid, it's not available on DVD.
