I never saw it on the Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. To the best of my recollection, Boomerang ran the original "Saturday Superstar Movie" version. I don't recall about the closing H-B logo and its soundtrack. It also ran on the 1988 syndicated Yogi Bear Show in two parts.

It wasn't even that as I recall -- the first half was the "Yogi's Gang" episode version, the second half was the "Saturday Superstar Movie" version. As I recall, it's a long time since I watched it. The two part version would have been accurate for the series set, as they were the last two...

What I recall is they had planned to do Touche Turtle after they had released Wally Gator and Lippy The Lion, but it's the same old story -- they only had 16mm film prints for the cartoons and they didn't have any negatives, so the quality wasn't deemed good enough. Now, that's all well and...

They were released on VHS and DVD some 20+ years ago as "The Lost Films Of Laurel And Hardy." Many were transferred from the original camera negatives, which are now long gone. At the time, only the first reel (minus one scene) of "The Battle Of The Century" was known to be extant (plus clips of...

Wouldn't it be ironic for it to be found in pristine condition, simply because it wasn't in Michael Agee's garage with the rest of them?

"Fractured Flickers" has one episode that's a couple minutes shorter, supposedly because there was a segment making reference to JFK and it was removed after he was killed.

That's interesting -- I know the 1970s syndicated package started with the first color episode and then abruptly ended in the middle of a season (but I don't remember which season). I remember the "V of doom" being on the B&W episodes on Nick At Nite, but I also seem to remember the "pinball"...

I am glad the shorter Fox logo is out there on an official release. I don't work in the industry, but there is a member here who works in post production and has commented on this kind of stuff -- punching in a shot in the M*A*S*H opening titles from a cleaner source than was used in the...

On the first (later corrected) release of Batman Season 1, the first episode (the version missing the narration at the beginning) has the right 20th Century Fox end logo  visuals, but the audio is from a 1990s or 2000s version. On the corrected disc, the logo is correct.

It's more than an early fade. It's a different recording of the fanfare. It was like that on 1970s TV showings, Family Channel reruns and on the (apparently Mark Hamill sourced) bootleg set.

Yeah, I figure they color corrected it and remastered it just once and then cut and pasted it onto every episode thinking it was the same. Maybe that's what happened on the Warner Archive release of "Secret Squirrel" too -- 23 out of 26 Secret Squirrel cartoons have the wrong fanfare on the end...

It was shortened for the 1967-68 season and was like that until the DVDs and Blu-Rays. (Except when the reruns had a 1990s version "plastered.")

Yeah, so I specifically made it a point to record "My Three Sons" this morning and there was no Viacom logo. #354 "Fit The Crime" (Season 11/Episode 22). It figures.

The correct Fox logos are at the end of Seasons 1 and 2 of Batman on DVD, but they screwed up and used the wrong end logo on the Season 3 episodes. It should be the shorter version.

I don't think the original peacock was regularly used that late. I believe in its last years (through the end of 1975) it was only used on specials. The (first) "new" peacock was introduced in 1979.
