Why Isn’t All The Looney Tunes Shorts Shown?

[Dudley]

I don’t know how many are currently running on TV, but when you remove the more problematic ones due to either racist imagery, heavy depictions of smoking, gun violence, the DePatie-Freleng shorts, focus on the more iconic characters, none of the black and white shorts, avoid WWII shorts, and just mainly sticking to cartoons from the 40s and 50s, there’s really not much left.

The funny thing is that due to their own limited criteria, the only DePatie-Freleng shorts they air are the three non-Speedy Daffy Duck cartoons, McKimson's two Roadrunner shorts, and the Larriva Eleven (Minus "Run, Run... Sweet Roadrunner"). If their goal is to mainly stick with shorts that feature the iconic characters, the very least they could do is add all the safe-to-air shorts to the rotation which meet those terms.

I assume the Seven Arts-era shorts are also not shown (which would hardly be a surprise, but still).

It's been a while since I've last posted something, but it's too bad we see won't ever see this looney tunes short in america anymore edited or not, but this isn't edited from Tooncast:

I'll sum it up in one word: Laziness.

Agreed. I remember the cartoon below "Rookie Revue" airing on the old Cartoon Network's "Acme Hour". Of course, this part was edited out then.

And at least Tooncast remembers Acrobatty Bunny:

I doubt Boomerang is gonna air any new shorts. I predict we'll be stuck on the same ones for months.

Perhaps we'll be stuck with the same ones forever. We'll never see a short like "A Gander at Mother Goose" again on American Boomerang:

"The Bashful Buzzard"

Or "Ain't That Ducky"

For example, the cartoon above had this scene edited out on Cartoon Network regularly. At least in the past, even if the shorts were edited they still show them. They don't even bother airing a cartoon like this anymore. Edited or not.

the DePatie-Freleng shorts

I don't know... the last time I tried to watch Looney Tunes on Boomerang, I saw "The Solid Tin Coyote", which is definitely a DePatie-Freleng short.
