* {{Bowdlerization}}: Many TV airings, such as on Creator/{{ABC}}, Creator/CartoonNetwork, Creator/{{Boomerang}}, and the now-defunct WB network have censored, either entirely or partially, the Hopalong Cassidy scene. Whereas ABC only censored Sylvester getting shot by Tweety's toy gun and subsequently falling down the Christmas tree, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and The WB! censored the Hopalong Cassidy scene entirely, due to both the Indian stereotyping [[note]]Sylvester acting like Geronimo and his attempt to eat Tweety being foiled by Granny as Pocahontas[[/note]] and gunfire from the toy gun. Oddly enough, the later ClipShow cartoon ''Tweet Dreams'' showed the offending scene intact. Since 2003, however, Cartoon Network and Boomerang (and now Creator/MeTV) have shown the cartoon intact.
** ABC also shortened Granny bashing Sylvester with her broom and cut the shot of Sylvester staggering down the stairs after getting blown up by the dynamite stick that Tweety substituted for himself in the cage.
