BLKCLOUD:
hi, do any of you know what all shows are banned from tv due to the racial content? i'd like to buy them on video if possible for my fathers christmas..thnaks,keith

kinderscenen:
"The Yoke's On Me" (1943) was banned on SOME stations due to racial content, but I had no problems seeing it on TV several times--in fact, none of the "propaganda" shorts were banned in my neck of the woods. Whether or not all of them were released on video, I'm not certain.

From memory, The Yoke's On Me and No Dough, Boys seemed to be the only ones that were specific in their targets. The Japanese weren't treated with the same sort of "humor" (?!) as the Germans were, so I'm not sure if any of the shorts that poked fun at the Nazis were banned. I'm assuming they weren't.

The shorts that used "stereotyped" black characters weren't banned either. 

Hope this helps!
