When Boomerang used to frequently air Porky Pig shorts intially in B&W colorized were there any redrawns replaced by computer colorized prints on that station? I know Fish Tales was replaced by the computer colorized version in 2003 according to Big Cartoon Database however it showed the redrawn version of Fish Tales again in 2004. Were there any others?

The weird thing about the Turner networks is that they apparently never dispose of old tapes. In the late 80s a lot of WB and MGM cartoons were remastered for home video and those new transfers gradually found their way onto TBS. When TNT was created, the cartoons they showed were suddenly the old ratty faded prints again--apparently because the new network used the old tapes while TBS continued using the new ones. When TBS ended Tom & Jerry's Funhouse, all of a sudden TNT was showing the good stuff.
Then Cartoon Network started, and once again the crappy prints were airing. Again, eventually they inherited the better transfers.
Then there was Boomerang...

Okay, don't tell me they're still using the Up-Standing Sitter print with the Bugs-in-drum-with-1937-Merrily-We-Roll-Along-end-music outro.
