The comedy stylings of Looney Tunes most underrated Southern ne'er do well are collected in fifteen new shorts, some of which have never been on DVD, and "Foghorn Leghorn" is gladly still as hilarious and clever as he ever was. While the character does indeed have his own slapdash physical antics that make him apart of the Looney Tunes trio, Foghorn Leghorn was always someone whose humor was something unique and subtle. Sure he is the victim of explosions, and creates his own elaborate traps to outwit or outsmart his nemesis, but his form of looking to the camera and breaking the fourth wall always made for a bit more hilarity than that of Bugs or Tweety. While the others seemed to be filling the audience in on their plans, Foghorn Leghorn seemed like the old curmudgeon who could connect with someone about their anger and general annoyance around them.

And of course when he's not trying to scheme someone in to a meal or some shelter, he's battling George the Dog in a truly obscure rivalry that spanned most of the Leghorn episodes making for some raucous gags and slapstick that deserved much more attention. The Robert McKimson character is still crisp to this day and he makes for some fantastic comedy that is much more unique than what you'll find with Tweety or Daffy. I won't argue that he's better, but he's different, and sometimes that's what I want. The DVD comes with no extras, but the episodes are restored and in excellent quality for fans of the slick old rooster that Termite Terrace birthed.

Foghorn Leghorn still supplies some hilarious and genius Southern antics with battles involving sly foxes, hungry Chicken hawks, ingenious roosters, and rascally old backyard dawgs. For folks interested in some chuckles, this is a fun set, but don't expect any extras to go with it. Sorry collectors.
