Censorship
On ABC, the scene after Gnawbone falls from the sky after chasing a rabbit balloon, where Gnawbone grabs Bugs' throat and prepares to punch him, but gets distracted by the mechanical rabbit, prompting Bugs to light a stick of dynamite and make Gnawbone fetch it, causing it to explode was edited to make it look like Gnawbone exploded when he hit the ground from falling.[2]
