In the comments point out that when the Tiny Toons episode "The Looney Beginning" aired on CBS in prime-time, it had at least 2 scenes that were cut out of all subsequent airings: one where the animator redraws Buster ala "Duck Amuck", and one where Sweetie and Furball audition. Also the episode "Return of Batduck" originally aired as the primere of the Plucky Duck Show, and when it aired in reruns as a regular Tiny Toons episode, bits and pieces were cut out in order to fit in the regular Tiny Toons opening.

Please reply with comments about your entering of the survey,please?
