Watch out for that crazy Woodpecker!!!

Its a crying shame that Woody and his friends aren't on either Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. But that Woodpecker was the best ever in getting even with characters that were interrupting his beloved home or trying to get even with him like Pete Buzzard, Wally Walrus,or that annoying Gabby Gator. Walter Lantz' creation was some of the best animated around,and at times very funny,cause that Woodpecker was crazy!!! Still,Woody applied the laughs,and in turn brought out the kid in all of us. One of my best shows ever from childhood. By the way,who can remember that crazy laugh?
