> [@TelevisionAU](#): > > Mind you i probably can’t be too judgey about regional TV cartoons. I remember in the early 80s watching on HSV7 the same episodes of _Crusader Rabbit_ that my parents probably watched as kids 25 years earlier 😉 Speaking of regional TV cartoons, in 1968 Warner Bros (then known as Warner Bros-Seven Arts) hand-colorized their originally black and white Looney Tunes cartoons from 1936-42, many of them starring Porky Pig. The original opening and closing titles were plastered with a 1960s animated title card. The end result was it looked cheap and low-budget compared to the 1946-59 WB cartoons. These cartoons were on high rotation on GMV6 Shepparton (as well as many other regional stations) in the early to mid 80s. Other cartoons that had a good run on regional TV include Felix the Cat, Popeye (1960s King Features Syndicate TV), MGM cartoons featuring Tom and Jerry, and Woody Woodpecker. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/general-tv-history/137)._
