I’ve been wondering since I first saw a commercial for the set, has it been edited to be more PC for our times? I love the old cartoons, but they never show them in their original versions on television.

When I was growing up in SoCal there was a station in LA that played a couple hours of Popeye cartoons on Sunday(?) mornings. The host would draw Popeye characters on a big art pad and tell stories about the history of the cartoons.

These are all uncut. There is a disclaimer at the beginning saying how bad racial stereotypes are, but at least there’s no Whoopie Goldberg, like in the Bugs Bunny DVDs.

Included here is the famous scene where Popeye punches an Indian chief who then turns into Ghandi.
