The Bob Clampett Show
The Bob Clampett Show is an animated anthology television series which ran from 2000 to 2001. The show features animated theatrical shorts from the Warner Bros. library that were animated or directed by Bob Clampett, as well as a selection of shorts from the Beany and Cecil animated television series. It originally was produced by and aired on Cartoon Network, with reruns airing at the tail end of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block in the mid-2000s. Twenty-six episodes were made in all.
The show's opening title sequence was nominated for an Annie Award in 2000 in the category "Outstanding Achievement in An Animated Special Project", but it lost to The Scooby-Doo Project.
Censorship
This was one of two animated anthology shows on Cartoon Network that aired uncut and uncensored shorts, as well as shorts that would normally get little to no airtime on American TV due to racially insensitive and outdated content, though Kristopher Kolumbus, Jr., the 1938 version of Injun Trouble, Pilgrim Porky, and the Censored Eleven shorts Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves and Tin Pan Alley Cats were the only Bob Clampett shorts that never aired on the show; the version of Farm Frolics shown was the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies reissue with a missing tobacco spitting joke and a truncated beginning that, as of 2023, was found; and, while there was mention of the violent "director's cut" ending of Hare Ribbin', the version that aired had the general release ending instead.Episodes
