Keep in mind this was back in the day when we watched the Road Runner drop huge boulders on the Coyote and Elmer Fudd shot Daffy Duck point-blank in the face with a shotgun. Ah, the good old days of kid’s television! Like Looney Tunes, Henson’s work stands the test of time. It’s just as funny now as it was 50 years ago.
