Does anyone know where I can find a list of the rarely seen on CN Tom & Jerry shorts? Thanks very much.

You could also add "Blue Cat Blues" to the list.

Probably because few people seem to like them, the 1975 Hanna-Barbera and 1980 Filmation TV Tom and Jerry shorts rarely show up, although they did show "When The Rooster Crows" and "Spike's Birthday" (both 1980) on the last two Saturday night Tom & Jerry shows before they started Adult Swim Action. (I think they sometimes run on Boomerang, though. I like these shorts, but most likely out of nostalgia, as I will be the first person to admit that they pale in comparison to the original 1940-67 theatrical shorts.)

I've done some resarching in the "What Aired Today?" forum and the following cartoons have not aired for more than three months:
--- "High Steaks"
--- "Landing Stripling"
--- "Calypso Cat"
--- "Sorry Safari"

These are all 1961 cartoons.

All Gene Deitch films. For some strange reason I have a bizarre fondness for the Deitch T&J's.

I would not consider the Deitch cartoons rare. They are not politically incorrect, and they have been shown on Cartoon Network sometimes. CN probably avoids them more because people do not like them as much.

If CN refuses to show shorts that feature Mammy, that is rediculous.

As far as Cartoon Network is concerned, the Mammy cartoons are politically incorrect. That is why they air so rarely. Cartoon Network has shown other remakes regularly, so those three should air, even if some animation does not fit in the picture.

This is the same network that will sneak innuendo into their original series, but not even let a blackface slip by on a Droopy cartoon.
