Yeah, that opening is *terrible*. In '86 (or was it '87?) they re-animated the classic "Overture, cut the lights" opening without the objectionable characters, and then Tweety was brought back in to the mix because somebody at Standards & Practices WASN'T homophobic for once, becoming a title character by the end of the 80's!
