Season 5

This season started on November 19, 1999.[1] Every episode from the season is easily available online.

However one episode never aired. This extended episode was made in response to the June Bugs 2001 controversy.[3] The special, titled "The Twelve Missing Hares" is focused around Bugs Bunny shorts deemed unsuitable for broadcasting on Cartoon Network, either due to negative racial stereotypes or World War II propaganda. The special only uses clips from each short along with various other material. The special covers how the shorts are products of their time, how they are incorrectly portraying different cultures, and how it is inappropriate to show them on a network catering to young audiences.[4] It was pulled from airing last minute. However upon its leak on August 26, 2022, it was discovered that the special was never completed.

Season 8

This season started on October 19, 2003[1] and is the final season.

However a special episode never aired. "The Best of the Worst Cartoons Ever" otherwise known as "The Worst Cartoons Ever Made" is centered around the worst Hanna Barbera, Ruby Spears, and Filmation cartoons ever made. Features clips from the various Scooby-Doo Knockoffs, failed 70's H-B cartoon series, and the Filmation Tom and Jerry series. It also features the full episode of "Disco Droopy" as ToonHeads top pick of "The Best of the Worst Cartoons Ever". [5]It had gotten cancelled due to the Cartoon Network Executives being uncomfortable with the show poking fun at H-B cartoons.[6]

Notes

  • In S03E06, "Midnight in the Bookstore", during the weekend of March 19th, 1999, "You're An Education" was replaced with a redrawn print of "I Like Mountain Music" (WB). "Speaking Of The Weather" (WB) was the cartoon shown after that. "Book Revue" (WB) then followed. New wraparounds were made for "I Like Mountain Music" and "Speaking Of The Weather" during the weekend of October 6th, 2000.
  • In S04E07, "Toro! Toro!", technical difficulties caused "The Mice Will Play" (WB) and “Sheep Wrecked” (MGM) to play instead of “Bully for Bugs”, and “Senor Droopy”, respectively. There was also the usage of bumpers from S04E06, "The Nice Mice of Warner Bros”. The correct cartoons and segments were reinstated on October 1st, 1999.
  • The only sort of home media release the show has ever had was the ToonHeads special: The Lost Cartoons and can be found on Disc 3 of The Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1. as a bonus feature
