The Popeye cartoon Popeye Presents Eugene The Jeep had the colorized version aired on TCM. Did anyone else notice that? I was a little disappointed.

Yup, I was surprised as well. I wonder if that's going to pop up more over the next few weeks. I can't remember if colorized versions showed up during the last cycle through.

It probably will be scheduled to air next month.

My apologies for getting this out late! Life's been busy as of late, unfortunately. :/

Just letting everyone know that TCM has resumed airing cartoons on Saturday mornings for several weeks at this point. Tomorrow (10/10/20) they will be airing "Red Hot Riding Hood" and "Alona the Sarong Seas" at 8AM and 10AM respectively.

They've recently entered the color Famous Studios era of the Popeye cartoons and although they aired the A.A.P. prints of Her Honor the Mare and The Marry-Go-Round weeks prior, they aired the restored version of W'ere on Our Way to Rio this past weekend:
