The Cartoon Network Wiki

'The Tex Avery Showis an animated showcase series that prominently features Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros. cartoon shorts by famed animator Tex Avery. The showcase premiered on the Cartoon Network in 1996 (not long after the Time Warner-Turner merger allowed for the network's ownership of all but four of Avery's cartoons from Walter Lantz Productions which instead remained under ownership from Universal), and was taken off the air in 2002, while reruns continued to be shown on Cartoon Network until April 2004. The series was then re-broadcast on Cartoon Network's sister network Boomerang. Some shorts, like MGM's Blitz Wolf, Big Heel-Watha, Uncle Tom's Cabana and Half-Pint Pygmy or Looney Tunes' Uncle Tom's Bungalow, The Isle of Pingo Pongo, The Early Worm Gets the Bird and All This and Rabbit Stew are skipped from the package entirely due to heavy racial stereotyping.

While most of the cartoons shown on the show wouldn't return to Cartoon Network after the show was removed, the Screwy Squirrel cartoon "Screwball Squirrel" returned for a two-time April Fools airing in 2012.
