Merrie Melodies.

The following scenes have been cut from some TV prints:

The Cab Calloway caricature sings "I've Got Swing for Sale."

Rip Van Winkle snips off Uncle Tom's hair to use as ear plugs.

Van Winkle tries to pull the stunt a second time, but Uncle Tom retaliates.

Blue Ribbon reissue prints are missing the opening and closing scenes with Alexander Woolcott. (These scenes were restored for the DVD set Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two.) The restored version still has several "while lines" on the film, which were probably used to mark where the fade-out and fade-in should occur, in order to cut the two scenes.
