My only complain is the lack of the two specials; Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies and Daffy Duck's Easter Special, but i guess they lose the rights of this stuffs anyway like with the Christmas special created with the Jones/Freleng collaboration. Also, this kind of marathon reminds how they aired back-to-back the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show current packages with the Bugs Bunny Easter special on Global a few years ago. (It's very longtime before Teletoon plays to monopoly with the Warner Bros. cartoons and forgot what's their real mission; created and hiring new Canadian cartoons creators.)

I don't think they need of a talkback unlike for the New Year's Marathon but it's just a small remind about how they cares oddly to the classic cartoons.

It's great that they're doing this, but I'm surprised to see Easter Yeggs is not on the list.

I believe that's because they are all post-48 shorts.

johnmayo15 is right, the Canada package include only the post-1948's WB shorts aimed for saturday morning audiences and not the Turner packages. One thing i was a bit shocked, it's TCM in Canada pulled off the Jones' shorts last week for movies because the Canada didn't access to this shorts even if i remind, Global Canada aired surprisely the second WB's Bugs 'n' Daffy season with... pre-1948's cartoons.

I wishing to understand to Canadian peoples that this cartoons wasn't aimed originally at saturday morning audiences but to a time where the politics and cultures was different than today.

Problem is, we here in Canada don't have uncensored cartoons. All we got is post 48 censored ones.

This will expalin why Easter Yeggs aint on the list.

It's also very likely that we are going to get a run of the chopped up versions from "The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show" and all the other packages they run.

The lack of pre-48 'toons on TCM Canada blew big time, but then again, they also blocked the 'Laurel & Hardy Marathon', even though Lionsgate owns them in both the US and Canada.
