are any of these still intact?
i remember in the 1980's,they started getting hard on cartoon "violence" and started chopping up many of the classics.
many of the individual shorts i watched in the 1970's became choppy,
the flow was disrupted,and some of them made no sense now at all.
the 80's version of "the bugs bunny & roadrunner show" was a prime example.

a classic example-
"what's opera doc" which was originally around the 7 minute mark,
was now around three minutes.
i am hoping they dig in the vaults to find the original prints of some of these classics and release them.
NOT what the networks seem to be running now.

I agree with this completely, & haven't watched cartoons for a long while now. I think I actually stopped watching because I pretty much stopped watching TV because I prefer being in front of a computer instead of in front of a TV set, but this poor editing job is another reason to stop watching TV.

There was even an episode on The Simpsons where they had a voilent, "Itchy And Scratchy Show" & Marge Simpson led a protest on the voilence. Bart & Lisa felt that the new cartoons were boring & turned off the TV & started their own mischief (like calling Moe's bar with those prank calls, I think). Lesson learned from that is don't fool around with what works well.

I wonder if they ever came out with the original & unedited versions on DVD maybe. If not, they should. I remember when watching these cartoons when I was a kid, it was fun watching the 'bad guy' have his evil intentions backfire.

exactly.
there was one bugs bunny where yosemite sam was a knight
and he told him he'd inheirit money,but he had to stop swearing?almost EVERY scene where he fell down the stairs
was cut out.
it was a running joke in the whole short that he kept falling.continuity destroyed.

I think that you are absolutely right! Even though Spongebob gets his share of nonsensical cartoon violence, he is resilient and always appear unharmed. In the past we have seen Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd and countless other lovable but sinister cartoon characters wear the unmistakable ash of being exploded by the classic stick of dynamite with the letters "TNT" inscribed on it. Nobody had it worst than "Daffy Duck" when it came to cartoon violence. If these tree-hugging, politically correct wusses tried to bastardize any of his cartoons, it'll only have a collective running time of only two seconds.

...And that's my two-cents, Giggitty and good-night.

they did get a couple of daffy's-the one with bugs where he keeps getting daffy shot
and he ends up getting his beak blown backwards,full of buckshot?gone.
nothing like censorship,i tell ya.

You know that really happens when you shoot someone in the face with a hunting rifle. Look at what happened to Harry Whittington when D1ck Cheney shot him the face. The only problem is he can't find where his bill went.
