The Tex Avery Show is an animated showcase series that prominently features Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros. cartoon shorts by famed animator Tex Avery. The showcase premiered on the Cartoon Network in 1996 (not long after the Time Warner-Turner merger allowed for the network's ownership of all but four of Avery's cartoons), and was taken off the air in 2002, while reruns continued to be shown on Cartoon Network until June 2004. The series was then re-broadcast on Cartoon Network's sister network Boomerang.
