From DVD Review:
Looney Toones finally made it to DVD in the form of the Golden Collection along with several smaller collections last year. The second set is set to arrive this winter.
Greetings, Looneytics! For all who rightly place Looney Tunes alongside Mom, apple pie and web-surfing at work as American institutions, this is your time to rise and shine and watch. Yes, here on 4 discs you'll find 60 more of the finest, funniest, bestest Golden Era cartoons from the feverishly bent artistic minds at Termite Terrace. Disc 1 showcases a certain wascally wabbit. The happiness of pursuit is center stage in Disc 2 and 3's respective batches of Road Runner and Sylvester/Tweety fun. Disc 4 is an all-star cavalcade of Hollywood parodies and more. All 60 toons are restored, remastered, uncut. And each disc is chock-a-block with bonus goodies. It's a 24-carrot gem of a collection. Anything less would be dethpicable.

I'm a Looney Tunes nut. I grew up watching Looney Tunes every Saturday morning and every afternoon after school. And that first Looney Tunes Golden Collection set was one of my most anticipated DVD releases of all time, behind the STAR WARS Trilogy and the TV series SEINFELD.
I'm still making my way through the first set and if you're a fan and haven't picked it up yet, I can't recommend it enough. Those shorts are still as funny today, in some cases funnier, because as I get older, I get some of the jokes better than I did as a kid.
Great extras too! Documentaries, commentaries and interviews with some of the creators. Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Mel Blanc, etc. were geniuses. Can't wait for the second volume.
I voted for Daffy Duck. Why? Because he's a narcissistic, self-absorbed idiot and he cracks me up. I've known people like that, except they couldn't take an anvil to the head or repeated shotgun blasts to their faces, with the same skill as Daffy.

I just love that little guy. And he's the only thing I collect on a regular basis, ok well, that & Chicago Bears stuff. But Pepe stuff is hard to find, at least around here, so if anyone knows where I could find some on-line let me know!
