Of course, the problem is that line is wrong as Cartoon Network did run the
originals earlier this year. Otherwise it would imply that CN somehow forgot
they weren't "child friendly", and as Mark pointed out, they air anything
related to Tom and Jerry. In fact, the evidence would more closer point to
licensing as the problem. The MGM shorts are more directly under Turner's
control. The WB shorts are probably controlled by WB Entertainment.

And the most recent T&J shorts that were directed by WB animation were more
of the standard cat tries to capture mouse, as was the last TV series "Tom
and Jerry Tales".which aired on KidsWB block on the CW.
