A Star Is Bored

Well, it has that Friz charm with great animation by Virgil Ross, Gerry Chiniquy, and Art Davis. But, for some reason, I get bored with this cartoon after a while. Most Looney Tunes I can watch over and over and appreciate them every time. Not this one for some reason. It's still pretty good, it's just not great darnit.
