The Tex Avery Show is an animated showcase of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros. cartoon shorts prominently by animator Tex Avery (a.k.a. Fred Avery). The showcase premiered on the Cartoon Network in 1996 (not long after the Time Warner-Turner merger allowed for common ownership of all but four of Avery's cartoons), and was taken off the air in 2002. It was soon re-broadcast on Boomerang.

Second series

The primetime telecast of the new Tex Avery Show debuted on March 19, 1998. This series put a large emphasis on showcasing MGM cartoons that have never graced the show. Despite the newly contrived notion, most of these episodes were not shown; although the first telecast aired under this policy were: The Early Bird Dood It, Dumb-Hounded and Red Hot Riding Hood.
