Cartoon Alley is an American television program that aired on Turner Classic Movies every Saturday Morning at 11:30 AM ET. Hosted by Ben Mankiewicz, the series featured three classic animated shorts from the 1930-1950's per episode. Most shorts were from The Golden Age of American animation. Each of the three shorts focused on a common theme. Most shorts came from Warner Bros., MGM, and Paramount, 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, Popeye, Porky Pig, Tom and Jerry, and others not so famous such as Goopy Geer and The Captain and the Kids. The shorts often appeared uncut and uncensored, and the more controversial cartoons were often introduced with a brief warning by Mankiewicz about the ethnic stereotypes being portrayed. The network's logo was only featured for a brief time, usually during the last short featured. From November 2004 to September 2005 the series was featured just once a month but after popular demand the series became a weekly feature. This series never aired in February because of TCM's 31 Days of Oscars programming. The series was canceled in autumn of 2007.

kungfuml I don't get the Boomerang channel so this weekend collection of shorts is my only chance to see some of the animation worlds best cartoons. Each month the host Ben Mankiewicz talks about three cartoons connecting with a common theme. Some of the cartoons featured are from the early 1930's. I believe that the shorts featured are uncut and unedited. Another bonus to this series is that it is commercial free. The cartoons featured are directed by some of the best including Tex Avery and Rudolph Ising. The show does not just feature MGM or Warner Bros cartoons it features a great mixture of both of them. Some shorts already featured include "Hollywood Steps Out" and "The Cat Concerto". The only problem with this show is that it comes on only once a month. I wish it would come on every Saturday morning.
