Oddly for some reason, Friz's unit seemed to have the toughest time returning to form following Warners' 3-D connected shutdown than the Jones or even the McKimson units, both of which seemed to be reinvigorated story-wise in a "<i>you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone</i>" kind of way, at getting their jobs back.<br /><br />The fact that some of Freleng's crew, including Warren Foster, were never furloughed by J.L. might explain why the unit's late 1955-early '56 releases come across as so bland. By mid-'56, Friz had gotten back on stride, the worst of Hawley's pill-head designs had subsided, and thanks to that, 1957 turned out to be one of Warners' best-ever years for all three units, before the final decline started in 1958.
