    Tunes indeed and a very common mistake to make. I thought for years it was toons for sure, but it’s tunes for the music, not toons for cartoons. The sister show was merry melodies, kinda helps remember.

      It had never occurred to me that the two were related. Duh!

      Wikipedia describes Merry Melodies as a spin-off from Looney Tunes!

      The title of Looney Tunes was inspired by Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies.
