The most perfect lineup TMC has ever scheduled (coming from a VERY biased Chuck Jones fan).

I find it interesting that TCM is showing, among the cartoons, all three of Chuck Jones's Library of Congress inductees: "What's Opera Doc", "Duck Amuck" and "One Froggy Evening".

One Froggy Evening came out in 1955not 1966,and What's Opera Doc came out in 1957 not 1954.
You're right, but I just cut and pasted the schedule. The errors are from Turner Classic movies.
