One of the several mini-documentaries created for the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 DVD set, "Behind the Tunes: Too Fast, Too Furry-ous" focuses on Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Like the other mini-documentaries, it basically assumes that the viewer knows absolutely nothing about these cartoons. Still, I should admit that I'd never totally understood the idea that Wile E. always comes just close enough to catching Road Runner so that he believes that he'll succeed the next time. As Chuck Jones once explained, worse than the physical pain that WEC experiences with every failure is the humiliation at knowing that he has failed.
Anyway, it's worth seeing. I wonder whether or not that guy Jerry Eisenberg is related to me.
