Looney Toons Episode Guide?

[Ash]

I was wondering if anybody knew if there is an online Looney Toons episode guide that I can look at to determine each episode's title.
I've done some searching and haven't been able to come up with an excellent guide yet.

I'm thinking of one episode in particular and that's the one starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.
Yosemite Sam has a relative that has died and left him a large chunk of money.
But since Sam is a loud, mean a***ole to everyone he meets, Bugs Bunny is assigned, as part of the will, to hang around him and make sure that he's decent & civil.

If Sam has an outburst within earshot of Bugs, Bugs can freely subtract any amount of money he sees fit from Sam's inheritance.
If Sam has too many fits of rage/outbursts, the whole fortune will be gone.

One funny scene takes place at dinner when Bugs & Sam are sitting at a long table and Bugs yells, "Oh Sam, can you please pass the pepper!?"
Sam yells back, "PEPPER!!  GET IT YOURSELF!!"
Bugs replies, "That'll cost you 400 pounds!" and writes it down.

So Sam decides to try to kill Bugs and lays traps.
He saws a hole in the floor and covers it with a carpet to disguise it (he stays in a castle) and tries to get Bugs to walk over it to fall down into the moat but when Bugs doesn't take the bait, Sam accidentally runs over it and falls into it instead.
The whole way down Sam is yelling, "DIRTY RACK-A-FRACKA........."

At one point Sam has to cover his mouth to hold in the insult and then runs about a mile away from the castle while Bugs is still inside and then screams the obscenities where Bugs can't hear him.

Do any of you remember the title to that episode?
Do you know if there's an online episode guide I and others can check out?

That episode almost sounds like it was part of a movie. Wasn't there a looney tunes movie that had several shorts in it? maybe i'm thinking of the halloween special. I liked bugs in the castle, with the vampire coming after him. He'd calmly walk along, singing "La, doddy da...diddy da...la doddy da...abra cadaaaabra" and it kept changing him from a vampire to a bat, vice versa and p**sing him off.

I remember your episode too. You own any of the looney toons on dvd?
I think over the years the one HUGE improvement of the characters is their sarcasim and wit. Early on (i used to watch the early episodes) they were more...looney. It actually annoyed me how daffy duck would go crazy and start leaping around.

Some of my favorite cartoons, not looney toons, were the ones way back from the 30's which were black and white or color. You hardly ever saw one where any talking occured, it was music and humor.

Sorry ash, no idea about an episode guide but i'm sure one exists.

Also one with bugs in the castle with the vampire and he was going around singing "la diddy da diddy da diddy da....abra cadaaaaaabra...." By doing so it kept changing him into a bat, then back into a vampire which really p**sed him off.  maybe i'm imagining things

Ah I found it!
You were right Susan, that toon I was trying to remember is from a movie.
It's from:  "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island"

Remember that one?
It had the Fantasy Island theme and Speedy Gonzales would say "Da plane Boss,  Da plane."

The cartoon of Bugs and Sam predates the 'movie'

ashthecat, were you looking for a website or a book? I don't know any websites, but there is a book by Will Friedwald and Jerry Beck that is an episode guide to the looney toons. The earlier edition is called "The Warner Brothers Cartoons," and the later edition is called "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies." Both editions list the cartoons by year, then there is an title index in the back in both editions. The later edition also has a character index, in which the cartoons are listed by character.
