As of the very end of 2022, 256 Looney Tunes shorts have been removed from HBO Max, covering everything from 1950 to 2004, which is about half of what that the streaming service had when it launched. Older shorts from 1930 to 1940 are still available, but Vulture notes that the deleted cartoons include “What’s Opera, Doc?” (see above), “Rabbit Of Seville,” “Duck Amuck,” and “One Froggy Evening” (as if the death of The WB wasn’t enough of an insult to the great Michigan J.

But wait, there’s more: HBO Max has also pulled seasons four through six of The Flintstones , which amounts to 78 episodes, leaving only the first three seasons on the platform[.]

So what’s the explanation for ripping off HBO Max subscribers this way?

To save money.
