Just saw the most unusual thing while watching Boomerang's Tom and Jerry block today- they actually aired Mouse in Manhattan and The Truce Hurts... uncensored, with blackface gags intact. Very strange, not sure what prompted them to air those two like that...

Last time I saw Mouse in Manhattan on Boom, it was the 90s Turner print with blackface gag censored.

I did see a restored version of Little Runaway with the Chinaman gag intact.

Were they the restored HD versions? If so, the explanation may perhaps be that they've used the uncut prints prepared for T&J Golden Collection Volume 1 without thinking to edit anything.

Yep, they were restored.

I recall hearing that they also showed the unedited and restored copies of some of the Looney Tunes such as "Ballot Box Bunny" complete with Russian Roulette ending.
