The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (76)


Another page from the ACME Catalog -


Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Sam Sheepdog/ Ralph Wolf Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1953 Chuck Jones classic, Don't Give Up The Sheep:



This is the first short featuring Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf and is the prototype for their next six episodes. Ralph Wolf's design looks slightly different from later cartoons to follow: in this one Ralph is shorter in height (shorter in height than Wile E. Coyote), scruffier-looking, and has furrier back legs and no fur on his feet. Ralph Wolf would later be redesigned to be thinner, taller, and more similar to Wile E. Coyote in later appearances.


On July 13, 1985, rock n’ roll’s biggest stars put on a charity concert of epic proportion. Organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, Live Aid raised money for Ethiopian famine relief while showcasing rock n’ roll legends and rising stars alike. ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join them in re-watching a portion of that historical broadcast. Set some time aside during the day and tune in and out of it. (You can see a somewhat comprehensive set-list directly on the Youtube link to help you find your favorite artists.) Have a frosty beverage (or two.)



As we have mentioned before, in just 20 minutes, Queen delivered possibly one of the greatest live performances of all time. Fronted by virtuoso Freddie Mercury, the band delivered hit after hit, beginning with the operatic Bohemian Rhapsody and ending with the stadium-pleasing power ballad We are the Champions.



Demand Euphoria!
