"Tiny Toons" is a syndicated program of original cartoons that appears on whatever station in a given local market bid the most for it. It is NOT carried by any network, though in your area it may appear on the local Fox affiliate. "Looney Toons" is the name of a cartoon series produced by Warner Brothers. They were made from the early 30's through the early 60's. Another series was known as "Merrie Melodies." They were produced exclusively for theatrical presentation back in the days when "going to the movies" meant seeing a couple of cartoons, a newsreal, a short subject and then a feature or two. Many years ago, Warner allowed their "Looney Toons" property to be packaged and sold as cartoon television shows. Throughout the years they have been seen variously as saturday morning television fare, local station syndicated packages and now, as cable programs (i.e. Nickelodeon). With only a few notable exceptions, there have been almost NO new "Looney Toons" shorts produced in many decades. "Tiny Toons," by contrast, are new programs produced for Warner as a sort of sequal to the original "Looney Toons." Sorry to be so long winded, but I'm constantly amazed to find people these days who don't know the difference between syndication and network origination. I know several people who call Fox their favorite network because they believe it carries "Star Trek: TNG." Also, there is an entire class of people who think "Loony Toons" were made as saturday morning fare. Nickelodeon may run a "Looney Toons" package, but your local independent station probably does, too. Back to Jerry...
