⚫ | **While the WarnerMedia-owned channels often plaster out the logo (especially on international airings), local channels not affiliated with Warner always keep the prints of the shows and films they air unaltered (besides needed censorship), so all the beginning and end logos are kept as is, including this one, which is why the logo was seen on 2000s overseas airings of shows including ''Droopy Master Detective'', ''Tom and Jerry Kids'', ''The Scooby-Doo Show'', ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'', ''The Tom and Jerry Show'' (1975), ''The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show'' and ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' (both 1979 and 1980 versions) on CTC in Russia, ''The Addams Family'' (1992 animated series) on Nova TV in Bulgaria, ''The Richie Rich Show'' (1980) on Planet Çocuk in Turkey, some episodes of ''The Mask: The Animated Series'' on THT in Russia, ''The Flintstones'', ''Top Cat'' and ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' on TV Prima in Czechia, ''Yogi's Treasure Hunt'', ''The Scooby-Doo Show'', ''The Flintstones'' and ''Paddington Bear'' (1989 series) on TV Puls 2, plus some syndicated airings of the pre-1986 MGM and pre-1948 WB libraries (like ''Kelly's Heroes'' on AMC, ''A Time to Sing'' on Circle and the TV series ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'' on GoodLife TV Network / YTA TV). |

*While live-action television series from the Turner library would always have the long extended version of the logo, be it before the intro or after the end credits, there is one exception: the 1977-1983 MGM series ''CHiPs'' actually ends with the shortened variant of the logo. |
