Old 1930 - 1940 cartoons?

I stumbled across a show that showcased old (guessing 30's - 40's) Christmas cartoons on the cartoon network. I thought they were great and would like to see more early cartoons. Is there a show that features these older cartoons on a regular basis?

Pick up something like this for $5.99 http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=ALP004493

I have several of the Cartoon Classic DVDs, and if you like the oldies, these should be worth the few bucks.

What you saw was Toon Heads. It used to be on a couple of times a week. Unfortunately, I think they only bring it out on special occasions now - like xmas.

I haven't seen the show yet, but TCM recently starting playing old cartoons:

Features three classic MGM and WB cartoons from the 1940s: Haiwatha's Rabbit Hunt (1941), The Blitz Wolf (1942), Life With Feathers (1945). BW 29m. CC

What a shame Toon Heads isn't on more frequently. I thought the show was well done and would have loved to see more ftom that era. I'll set my PVR for Cartoon Alley. Thanks very much for the info.
