Prior to the premiere of The Popeye Show, most television airings of theatrical Popeye cartoons bore the logos of Associated Artists Productions, the company that bought the films from Paramount Pictures for television distribution. This is due to the shorts having been sold in the 1950s, when most film studios did not want to be associated with television. As a result, a. a. p. was required to replace the original Paramount logos with their own. For The Popeye Show, efforts were made to present these films as close to their original theatrical form as possible: some of the cartoons shown were copies that actually had their original Paramount titles intact, while others needed to have their original titles simulated through the process of digital video editing.

  • Prior to the premiere of The Popeye Show, most television airings of theatrical Popeye cartoons bore the logos of Associated Artists Productions, the company that bought the films from Paramount Pictures for television distribution. This is due to the shorts having been sold in the 1950s, when most film studios did not want to be associated with television. As a result, a. a. p. was required to replace the original Paramount logos with their own. For The Popeye Show, efforts were made to present these films as close to their original theatrical form as possible: some of the cartoons shown were copies that actually had their original Paramount titles intact, while others needed to have their original titles simulated through the process of digital video editing. The show focused mostly on the Fleischer Popeye shorts and early Famous shorts that were originally filmed in black-and-white. For all episodes, the first two shorts were from this era. Sometimes the third would be a color cartoon from Famous Studios, but on many occasions an episode would entirely be made of black-and-white ones. While selecting the color entries that would air, the only ones that were initially chosen were those that existed in the Turner vaults with their original titles. In season one, a copy of Popeye, The Ace of Space (1953) with its original titles was shown for the first time on TV. This particular cartoon was originally shown in 3D and had a unique opening sequence.It also had a unique ending sequence that was not shown on syndication prints because it involved the Paramount logo being formed from the smoke of Popeye's pipe. The black and white short The Hungry Goat (1943) was kept from being shown in earlier seasons because it required extra attention to recreate the ending as close to original as possible. The original ending involved Popeye's nemesis in the short, a goat, laughing at Popeye while watching the end of the very cartoon they were in, and, like Ace of Space, involved the Paramount logo. 1945's Tops in the Big Top, which did not open with the standard Popeye theme music but the rendition of a circus theme, had its original soundtrack restored for the program. Similarly, a version of W'ere On Our Way to Rio (1944) was prepared with the opening soundtrack restored, but the show was cancelled before it could be shown.

While selecting the color entries that would air, the only ones that were initially selected were those that were in the Turner vaults with their original titles. The only color cartoons to have their original titles recreated were those shown in the last episode of Season 3, and all episodes of Season 4. In season 1, an original copy of Popeye, The Ace of Space (1953) with its original titles was shown for the first time on TV. This particular cartoon was originally shown in 3D, and therefore had a unique opening sequence. It also had a unique ending sequence that was not shown on syndication prints because it involved the Paramount logo being formed from the smoke of Popeye's pipe.

Initially, the movie studios were fearful of losing money connected with the new media of television. Associated Artists Productions had to show their logo instead of the one for Paramount Pictures. The Popeye Show is about shorts made by Fleischer Studios, and the ones made by Famous Studios when the show started. The first two shorts would be black-and-white. Occasionally, the third one was in color from Famous Studios but sometimes the whole episode was in black-and-white. They chose episodes in color from the Turner vault with their titles. The episode at the end of Season 3 and the ones in Season 4 had episodes with recreated titles. A copy of Popeye, The Ace of Space had its titles when they first showed it. This episode had a different opening because it was in 3D. The ending was different and they didn't show it on syndication prints because smoke from Popeye's pipe made the logo for Paramount Pictures. A short called The Hungry Goat wasn't shown because they needed more attention to make it more original. The ending has the goat in the short laughing as he watches the same short and also has the logo made from the smoke. A short called Tops in the Big Top had circus music instead of the music for the show. They prepared a version of We're On Our Way to Rio had it's music but the show ended before it could air. A couple of episodes in Season 1 were not shown until old episodes aired. In Season 1, two episodes were skipped and were not shown until old episodes aired. The people at Cartoon Network wold not show these episodes.
