Hippety Hopper is seen on the opening of the Bugs Bunny Show. He is right along side the rest of the Warner Bros characters. This shows how memorable this character is. He was seen every week on Saturday Morning and on ABC in Primetime. The character would be there every time Bugs and Daffy sang this is it on The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show, The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour, and The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. In 1992, Hippety Hopper was removed from the line and replaced with Porky Pig and Pepe Le Pew. It took over 30 years to add Porky Pig to the line. It showed the popularity and how often the kangaroo was shown on TV.
Matt Hunter posted a full episode of The Bugs Bunny Show on his Dailymotion page a while back. This episode features Hippety Hopper as the main foul for Sylvester (who is hosting the show).
Here are a few more goodies:
Hippety sings happy birthday to those with an October birthday from the Bugs Bunny Songfest record.
Hippety was supposed to appear in Who Framed Roger Rabbit in the proposed funeral scene.
