Turner Broadcasting Censoring Cartoons

Turner Broadcasting is censoring more than 1,500 classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including old favorites Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones and Scooby-Doo, to edit out scenes that glamorize smoking. Cartoons would only be modified where smoking could be deemed to be cool or glamorized, and that scenes where a villain was featured with a cigarette or cigar would not necessarily be cut.
