- January 25, 1947
The Goofy Gophers episode of Looney Tunes season 1947 is a classic animated cartoon that features two gophers, Mac and Tosh, who are always getting into trouble and causing chaos wherever they go. In this episode, Mac and Tosh have taken up residence in a garden and are busy chomping away at the roots of the plants.
Their behavior has not gone unnoticed, however, as the garden's owner, an old lady voiced by Bea Benaderet, is furious with the little rodents for ruining her hard work. She orders her cat, Sylvester, to catch and dispose of the pests, but the wily gophers outsmart him at every turn.
Sylvester tries several tactics to catch the gophers, including disguising himself as a plant, using a vacuum cleaner, and even constructing a makeshift robot. But each time he is thwarted by the clever Mac and Tosh.
Meanwhile, the old lady becomes more and more frustrated with Sylvester's inability to catch the gophers. She berates him and threatens to replace him with a new cat if he doesn't succeed.
At one point, the old lady's dog spots the gophers and tries to dig them up, but Mac and Tosh trick him into digging in the wrong place. They then set up a series of traps and obstacles throughout the garden to thwart Sylvester's attempts to catch them.
Despite their best efforts to foil Sylvester, however, Mac and Tosh eventually end up in his paws. But before he can dispose of them, the gophers cunningly convince him that they are his best friends and that they should team up to catch the old lady's prized canary.
Sylvester agrees, and the three of them set out on their mission. But as they make their way into the canary's cage, they discover that the old lady has set up a trap for them.
In a frantic, chaotic sequence, Sylvester and the gophers try to escape from the clutches of the old lady, her dog, and her bird. After several close calls, they finally manage to escape and go their separate ways.
The episode ends with the old lady vowing to get rid of the gophers once and for all and Sylvester left to ponder his failure.
Overall, The Goofy Gophers episode of Looney Tunes season 1947 is a classic example of the hilarious and imaginative cartoons that made the series so beloved. With its memorable characters, zany humor, and intricate animation, it's no wonder that it continues to entertain children and adults alike over 70 years later.
