What a load of bull. Again, one person complains and it ruins it for everyone.
Maybe I should complain about Love Connection and say it promotes ideas of sex out of wedlock.

I wouldn't blame the person who brought up the complaint. I would blame Turner for giving in.
I could ask for a million dollar raise. If I get it, who's to blame? Me for asking, or the company for agreeing?

Still, you have to remember that CN's primary worldwide audience, with the exception of between 10:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday through Thursday in the U.S., is children. As silly as it sounds, I don't blame them for reacting that way. It has to be remembered that the original were made for a general audience, not kids. Meanwhile, I would hope that the original versions could be shown late at night or on another Turner channel, or is that something just for DVDs?
And let's not either bring up the fact that the "Tom & Jerry" shorts had a lot of slapstick violence or the stereotypical black maid Mammy Two Shoes (reanimated by Chuck Jones' people in the 60s for TV and revoiced by June Foray as an Irish maid in some shorts, and redubbed by Turner by a black actress speaking proper English in some others), which seems to me to be bigger problems than Tom Cat rolling his own.
ObGameShow: Heatter-Quigley developed "Wacky Races" with H-B as a game show--that element got dropped when CBS got queasy about kids betting on outcomes of races.
