What annoys me is that they keep airing that Tiny Toons special for years, and the show itself didn't come till 2006. Then the show got cancelled after one season. this will also be probably the first year Boomerang isn't airing the Hanna-Barbera specials, like Yogi Bear and The Flintstones Christmas films, or any other miscellaneous classics, like "The Town that Santa Forgot" and the Rankin Bass selection.
UPDATE: As for Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporared, this episode is what i'm guessing the current episode in the recent series (despite two more episodes yet to be aired). This isn't the first time that's happened. CN once aired the Season 1 finale of Sheep in the Big City as part of a "Cartoon Cartoon" Christmas block, which may have been a mistake and were meant to air the Clearance Day episode. (That was sort of a Festive spoof they made)
