I discovered this while going through the blocks of Looney Tunes on Boomerang. (But they're only available until April 1st.) In the order they're listed:

"False Hare"
"The Abominable Snow Rabbit"
"What's Up Doc?" (incorrect release date of 6/17/60)
"Showbiz Bugs" (sic)
"Barbary Coast Bunny"
"Napoleon Bunny-Part"
"Bully For Bugs"
"Duck Amuck"
"Rabbit Seasoning"
"Big Top Bunny"
"French Rarebit"
"Rabbit of Seville"
"Rabbit Fire"
"Bunker Hill Bunny"
"The Windblown Hare"
"Rhapsody Rabbit"
"Fair and Wormer"
"Acrobatty Bunny"
"Buckaroo Bugs"
"Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid"
"Wabbit Twouble"
"Tortoise Beats Hare"
"Carrotblanca"
"Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers"
"Box Office Bunny"
"Portrait of the Artist as a Young Bunny"
"Spaced Out Bunny"

Doing a search for "Looney Tunes" on my cable TV's "on demand" channel also yielded 10 episodes of New Looney Tunes, 38 episodes of the infamous Baby Looney Tunes, and the recent direct-to-video movie Rabbits Run (which isn't free), all only available until April 1st as well.

In recent months a sampling of episodes of The Flintstones, The Jetsons and Top Cat have been available on the "on demand" channel, though only for a short time. And during "Scoobtober" in October, a lot of Scooby Doo TV series are available, plus some of the direct-to-video Scooby Doo movies that usually cost $3.99 for a 48-hour "rental" are free.

EDIT: It occurred to me that maybe the reason for all of this Bugs Bunny (classic and recent) on the "on demand" channel is because Easter is on March 31st. (But if it is, why didn't they include "Easter Yeggs"? There's also a Bugs Bunny Easter special from the 1970's, which ends with Bugs (and Granny) letting Daffy "win".)

Five more cartoons, including three B & W ones, one of them a non-Harman-Ising B & W Merrie Melodie that probably hasn't aired on TV since it was on Nickelodeon. (And Mel Blanc got to use his "Rochester" voice in both of the other B & W cartoons.) All of them are available until October 28th:

Five more cartoons, two of them B & W ones. All of them are available until November 11th:

"A Pizza Tweety Pie"
"Porky's Cafe"
"Porky's Bear Facts"
"Pigs Is Pigs"
"Plenty of Money and You"

EDIT: I watched "Porky's Cafe" last night. Incorrect (1936-1937) music played over the opening titles. One thing that I never noticed when "Porky's Cafe" was being overplayed on "Late Night Black & White" is that it doesn't have a story credit. Did Rich Hogan leave for MGM at the same time that Tex did?

It has been over a month since the last batch of classic Looney Tunes (and Merrie Melodies) disappeared from my cable TV's "on demand" channel, and none have taken their place. So it looks like that has come to an end. (But Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run and Baby Looney Tunes are still there.)

I might as well also mention here that on December 1st, classic Looney Tunes (and Merrie Melodies) disappeared from the Discovery Family Channel, less than a week after they cut back from two half hour blocks a day to only one half hour block a day. (But Jabberjaw, The Smurfs and The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries are still on the Discovery Family Channel. And at the beginning of January, Baby Looney Tunes returned to the Discovery Family Channel, though only on weekdays, not weekends. I'm not going to bother to post the schedule here.)

I didn't even get to find out (and post here) all of the shorts that aired on the Discovery Family Channel and my cable TV's "on demand" channel because I was forced to stay at my sister's house, with no cable TV, TWICE because of back-to-back hurricanes.

It was nice while it lasted...
