* EditedForSyndication: When the shorts from the show air on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, the beginning and end title credits are excised along with the opening because the shorts are mixed in to play with the MGM shorts. This is averted on the Boomerang streaming service as well as the TBS airings in TheEighties and TheNineties.
