Looney Toons Collector Has The Most Bugs Bunny's We've Ever Seen
- 5 years ago
Do you have something in your life you are so passionate about that you would be willing to dedicate time, money and space to?
If your answer is a resounding "Yes!", meet Laurence Sheinman, whose passion for Looney Tunes cartoons, particularly Bugs Bunny, is so over the top it will have you asking, “What’s up Doc?”.
That rascally rabbit has always had a special pull on Laurence. ”Bugs Bunny has the cool of Humphrey Bogart and a dash of Jerry Lewis vaudeville,” he says. It’s that connection to a character that is at the heart of this premiere episode of the new OnlyGood TV Series, “Passions”, which is all about people and their unique hobbies, skills, collections, and obsessions.
Laurence doesn’t consider himself a collector – that would put him in the company of those who poo-poo anything, not in “mint-condition” – but just a guy who likes the adventure of the hunt and finding the fun things that remind him of those carefree Saturday mornings as a kid when watching the cartoon lineup was the best way to kick-off the weekend.
What started out as fun outings with his wife Jessica and infant son Adam years ago, has blossomed into a collection of over 1,000 items. Big and small, ornamental and functional, valuable and just … unique. Jessica has adopted the curator role and a life partner’s perspective of the special things that draw and keep two people together. “Its harmless fun, and as long as he’s not collecting wives, I don’t really care,” she says with a laugh.
ABOUT: PASSIONS
Some people have a strong affinity for the things that they love…. a favorite TV show, a favorite movie franchise, maybe even a favorite cartoon character… or maybe a unique collection of shoes, dolls, baseball cards….anything that shows an extraordinary passion for something near and dear to their heart. In each episode we will meet a new person who collects a certain type of object. The audience will learn the reasons for their obsessions and what their family and friends think about their collections. Audiences will be drawn to these rare collections, and the unique personalities of the collectors.
