 Most shorts came from Warner Bros., MGM, Universal, Paramount, Pat Sullivan, and Otto Mesmer (the latter studio provided the "Popeye" cartoons and the "Felix The Cat" cartoons only; these were in Turner's hands by this point), but during the show's first season "Cartoon Alley" featured shorts from the Gaumont Film Company.Many recognizable characters have been featured in at least one episode such as Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Felix The Cat, Porky Pig, Andy Panda, Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Screwy Squirrel, Barney Bear, Spike, George and Junior, and others not so famous such as Goopy Geer and The Captain and the Kids.The shorts often appeared uncut and uncensored (a few cartoons utilized cuts for content), and the more controversial cartoons (such as "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt" and "Half-Pint Pygmy") were often introduced with a brief warning by Mankiewicz about the ethnic stereotypes being portrayed.
