ShelbyTMItchell Coyote needs to buy food with the money he has or finds. Instead of the Acme products that fail to catch the Roadrunner as he does day in and day out.Plus he will never, ever learn to catch the fast and clever bird. You do have to give him credit for keeping on trying no matter what and for always being at it.Gags like the cement gag which the Roadrunner goes right on through, and trying to get the Roadrunner a blonde date. By going in drag as they all end up failing him.Still it is sad and funny at the same time where the Coyote is smart but not that smart in capturing the one thing that will always keep eluding him no matter what...THE ROADRUNNER!

phantom_tollbooth Chuck Jones's 'Going! Going! Gosh!', the third cartoon in the Road Runner series, has the invigorating feel of a series coming to life. 'Fast and Furry-ous' established the characters and 'Beep Beep' experimented with different forms and lengths of joke but 'Going! Going! Gosh!' feels like the first classic Road Runner. The quality of gags has risen significantly in this outing and the animation is also a cut above. There are a couple of reused gags even at this early stage but the sheer vivaciousness of the animation and direction breathe new life into them. This may be my favourite example of the oft used logic-defying painted landscape gag, for instance. This is Road Runner as it is most fondly remembered: quick fire, fast paced and very funny, even when you can see the punch line coming a mile away. 'Going! Going! Gosh!' provides an equal amount of gags where you go "I knew that was going to happen" and ones where you go "Oh, I didn't see that coming". It keeps the viewer on their toes, ensuring there's never a chance to get bored. It's the thrilling moment that the Road Runner series really found its feet.

ccthemovieman-1 It's amazing the number of ploys that Wile E. Coyote tries - and has backfire - in just a s six- and-a-half half minute cartoon. The beating the poor guy takes each time is unbelievable, but have you seen a more determined character in a cartoon? One that doesn't let defeat discourage him? I'd like to see him win, just one time.In this cartoon, he gets blasted by not just one, but two big trucks, along with an assortment of other things including the ever-present anvil.For some reason, I laughed loudest at the quick-drying cement routine.This cartoon is part of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2, and can be seen on disc 2.

rbverhoef This Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote cartoon is another decent entry in the series. The Coyote, or the Carnivorous Vulgaris, chases the Road Runner, introduced as Accelarti Incredibius, again. This time he paints a road where the real road is ending. Of course the Road Runner is able to walk that fake road and after him a truck as well. Coyote also dresses up as a woman and tries to drop an anvil on the Road Runner, of course every attempt without any success.Another nice cartoon this is, although a Road Runner cartoon can never disappoint me. This is not the best from the series, especially the animation is not that great, but I had my smiles and some laughs.
