The old black&white cartoons that are shown on the billboard the Planet Express ship crashes into every opening. Has anyone indexed where the clips are from for each show?

Here’s a [site](http://www.palmy.net.nz/futurama/opening/?show=yes) that’s posted them but many of them are unidentified. This [board thread](http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/1-000427-1/) has the names for many of them.

The clips all appear to come from public domain cartoons, except for 1ACV13 (“Fry and the Slurm Factory”), which is a Simpsons short from _The Tracey Ullman Show_.
