Question about Boomerang's airing of the DFE shorts.

[Nelson]

I'm getting back to recording the other DFE shorts and what I wanted to know, if anyone has a rough idea on which shorts,(Blue Racer, MisterJaws, etc,)has aired fully intact with titles & credits?I don't want to tape these shorts that Boomerang has aired incomplete..Thanks!

From my understanding, the following "Blue Racer" shorts had no titles what so ever:

Blue Racer Blues (dir: Art Davis)
Camera Bug (dir: Art Davis)
The Boa Friend (dir: Gerry Chiniquy)

I do have "Blues" and "Boa" with titles though (from a BBC airing)

Nelson, I reccomend you to tape the shorts anyway (assuming you don't have said cartoons). If a cartoon airs without titles is because that's how the print Boomerang has looks like. Same with redubbed Tijuana Toads. Once Boomerang is done with DFE, who knows when you'll see these cartoons again.

Yes. For some reason, Sony didn't include the titles when they sent the tapes to Boomerang. So it's their fault in this case. (and FYI, I have time coded copies of these same transfers for DFE shorts and they had everything, while for some reason, Boomerang's copy was incomplete. Apparently, they wanted to remove references to "outside" companies, in this case, DePatie-Freleng, Mirish, and United Artists...
