I really like this older cartoon.Woody is very funny and the other characters in the series is very funny as well. Its one of My favorite cartoons.It has good color and interesting short stories. If you like Looney Toons and haven't seen Woody Woodpecker then if you can check it because it'll make you laugh!
Strange thing to write about it ! Because its laugh, its adventures, its smart gestures , its friends and its victories are so close by us. A lost world in which everything was seductive, provocative, cruel in soft manner. To define Woody Woodpecker represents to define yourself as part of an old and lovely time.
This one is pretty similar to Looney tunes and Bugs Bunny. It's good. Woody is hilarious and other characters are interesting too. Definitely a funny show.
You're over here saying that Woody is a carbon copy of Bugs, but do you even realize that at that time Bugs was also a carbon copy himself, now let's see here who was he a carbon copy of? Oh yeah that's right, Daffy, Bugs was basically Daffy but if he was given a carrot, Daffy was created in 1937 while Bugs was created in 1938, so really and truly Bugs and Woody were both carbon copies, and while yes, Woodys personality was unoriginal, atleast in the 50s all three of their personalities were changed, Daffy was less of a screwball character and was more of a mean spirited duck, Bugs was less of a wacky character and was more of a calm, laid back, outsmarter, Woody was less of a crazy character and was more of a kind, sweet, and gentle little bird who would still attack people, so while yes, Woody was unoriginal, he wasn't ALWAYS unoriginal, also, Woody annoying/attacking people makes him unoriginal? Do you not realize that back then annoying/attacking was a common thing? So please, don't come over here acting like Looney Tunes was the one that started that on going trend, cause they didn't.
Its a crying shame that Woody and his friends aren't on either Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. But that Woodpecker was the best ever in getting even with characters that were interrupting his beloved home or trying to get even with him like Pete Buzzard, Wally Walrus,or that annoying Gabby Gator. Walter Lantz' creation was some of the best animated around,and at times very funny,cause that Woodpecker was crazy!!! Still,Woody applied the laughs,and in turn brought out the kid in all of us. One of my best shows ever from childhood. By the way,who can remember that crazy laugh?

- Trivia"The Woody Woodpecker Show" first aired on ABC on October 3, 1957, taking over a slot previously occupied by the first half hour of a newly-shortened "Mickey Mouse Club." The show, which aired weekly on Thursdays, combined existing cartoons with new live-action footage in segments called 'A Moment with Walter Lantz.' These segments (directed by Jack Hannah, a former Disney employee) offered viewers an inside look at the animation process and story development. The show was syndicated after its first year on ABC and ran until 1966. The original live-action segments were later replaced with "Woody's Newsreel" and "Around The World with Woody," which repurposed Universal Newsreels footage with commentary from Walter Lantz and Woody Woodpecker.
