Nope, and now there's no time slot to ever show these anymore. Man, I love CN, dont you?

It might take some heavy searching, but look around for the Tom and Jerry 50th Birthday Classics video tape. It's ten years old, but it might still be around. Both cartoons your looking for are on that tape.

What a depressing way to end the very last Saturday Night Tom and Jerry show, huh? With Blue Cats Blues.

Actually, I believe the schedule doesn't change until Feb. 23. If that's so, we have three more weeks of Saturday night T&J and LNB&W.

Mammy n'est pas supposé d'apparaître dans "Blue Cat Blues". Comment ça se fait qu'il passe?? :mad:

I remember they showed "Blue Cat Blues" on a daytime or evening show back in 2000.

I liked the background art in Blue Cat Blues. What type of paint did the background artists use for it?

Doesn't matter to me. I have "Blue Cat Blues" in its original Cinemascope format. You sure do miss a lot when they don't broadcast them in their original formats.

I was just commenting that Cartoon Network didn't always have a problem showing it. I don't feel like I'm missing anything, because I have never seen the "original format". :( Wouldn't it look compressed anyway? Or be cut off from regular televisions?

Not really, they'd just show it in letterbox like when you watch a letterbox DVD or the widescreen version of Justice League. There'd be little black spaces above and below the actual picture but that's it. I guess the picture would be a little smaller but the proportions would be the same so it wouldn't really look "compressed." I think it would nice to see, you'd get to see extra parts of the picture that are usually cut off.

Yeah. What bugs me is that shows like ER and Buffy are presented in widescreen yet movies that were actually made that way arent shown in their original aspect ratios.

What I can't stand is that CN shows pan and scan versions of MGM cartoons that were released in both widescreen and Academy ratio.

CN needs to get into contact with someone who can make high quality transferrs of the versions that were put on Laserdisc.


Jack :D

I'm not that upset about the Cinemascope situation, because under the FCC rules, we're only five years away from when the FCC is going to mandate HDTV formats for all broadcasters. Although that's for over-the-air stations, the cable networks will also go along and when that happens, the Cinemascope T&Js will be shown the way they originally were in the 1950s ... its the changes CN is likely to make in the 1930s-40s 16mm cartoons that has me concerned (say goodbye to the top and bottom of the picture on those...)
