== Censorship ==
Both the syndicated version and the version shown in the early 1990s on the Fox Network have edited scenes deemed "inappropriate" for children's television. These edits were mostly for violence, especially characters getting shot in the face, which was almost always covered up with still shots, and any activity considered dangerous or criminal, as with Bugs helping Sam break out of his jail cell in "Big House Bunny" and The Big Bad Wolf bootlegging alcohol in his house in "The Turn-Tale Wolf".
The syndicated version was more lenient in showing cartoons that had outdated racial stereotypes, while the Fox version had those shorts either banned, as with Chuck Jones' Inki cartoons, or censored, as with the 1949 Daffy/Elmer cartoon "Wise Quackers". 
Some cartoons had edits that were exclusive to either the syndicated version or the Fox version.
