The Bob Clampett Show is an animatedanthology television series which ran from 2000 to 2001. The show features animated theatrical shorts from the Warner Bros. library that were animated or directed byBob Clampett, as well as a selection of shorts from theBeany and Cecil animated television series. It originally was produced by and aired onCartoon Network, with reruns airing at the tail end of Cartoon Network'sAdult Swim block in the mid-2000s. Twenty-six episodes were made in all.
The show's opening title sequence was nominated for anAnnie Award in 2000 in the category "Outstanding Achievement in An Animated Special Project", but it lost toThe Scooby-Doo Project.[1]
This was one of two animated anthology shows on Cartoon Network (joiningThe Popeye Show) that aired uncut and uncensored shorts, as well as shorts that would normally get little to no airtime on American TV due to racially insensitive and outdated content (such asRussian Rhapsody andBacall to Arms), thoughKristopher Kolumbus, Jr., the 1938 version ofInjun Trouble (ironically, its color remake,Wagon Heels aired),Pilgrim Porky, and the Censored Eleven shortsCoal Black and de Sebben Dwarves andTin Pan Alley Cats were the only Bob Clampett shorts that never aired on the show; the version ofFarm Frolics shown was the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies reissue with a missing tobacco spitting joke and a truncated beginning that, as of 2023, was found; and, while there was mention of the violent "director's cut" ending ofHare Ribbin', the version that aired had the general release ending instead.[2]
All shorts featured this season were produced byWarner Bros. Cartoons.
