We still have 11 hours to go for the launch day schedule. https://www.metvtoons.com/schedule/
i don't think there's any free streams right now but you can sign up for a frndly tv free trial and cancel it immediately to watch it for a week for free (and DVR whatever you wanna watch but can't watch live instead of just downloading it like a smart person would)

>>144245576But they don't want to get a divorce.
>>1442455667/10It's still in it's early days though. Jerry Beck has said the schedule won't stay stagnant and they still have a lot more planned that hasn't been announced yet, so we'll see how it goes.
I think the channel is available in my area, but it's not on my Hulu Live TV yet.
>>144245468>Saturday Night: Duck Dodgers, Two Stupid Dogs, Freak-A-Zoid>Sunday Afternoon: Scooby-Doo cartoon blockBros... cartoons are back!
>>144245756I don't think MeTV is even on Hulu. I can get it with an antenna but Toons isn't in my area at this point.
>>144245468So who's gonna be cool enough to stream the channel?
Any online streams yet?
>>144245975Nope but on the bright boomerag and CN can now die for all I care. A shae about them they we once good cannels.
Your only excuses for not having this channel yet are>You aren't American>You have cable and are waiting for them to add it since it's in your region just not on your systemOtherwise there's no excuse. It's $7 per month to stream it and other channels or $20 for an antenna
>>144245756>>144245874Yeah, as of now the only streaming options are Frndly and Philo.
>>144245874metv is only on frndly and philo
Here's your digital television standards, bro!
>>144246040I'm a burger with antenna and it's not available for me
>>144246040Yeah, I'm waiting for Xfinity to nab it because they have MeTV so I figure it's only a matter of time until this gets on there too.

>>144246208Please don't post this cringe again, lil bro
>>144246109We dont live in mexico?
It looks like this won't be airing OTA in my area, at least yet.
>>144245468Ooh. This will be fun. I wonder if they're gonna air all the old offensive cartoons uncensored.
>>144246617I'm sure they're just chomping at the bit to air "Hittin' the Trail to Hallelujah Land" and "Jungle Jitters" and get destroyed by the NAACP and BLM
>>144246399If I had to guess, based on the majority of channels I can watch over the air, I think we live in Vietnam.
I wonder what a Bugs Bunny/Porky Pig cartoon short would be like
>>144246760already happened
It's Billy again!
>They’re still airing Billy Mays ads
Just wanted to say thanks to the fellow anons that kept these threads going the nite before. It was an epic launch of a cartoon channel.
>>144246617Well, they're showing Pepe le Pew if that counts.
>>144246617Literally showing everything as is so far. Putting aside black face and poly-wogs. It is as inoffensive as Nick at Nite in the 90s.
When the livestream was going there was a lot of talk, but now that people can't just pirate it online and have to go through even the most half ass effort to get a free broadcast tv channel discussion is deadThat or it was a one day fad and no one cares anymore
>>144246208Kek
hey it's speedy being an illegal stowaway
>>144247373the cn shill is scared
would bang speedy
So are they going to start showing the Speedy cartoons before the Speedy and Daffy era? Regular MeTV only aired the Speedy and Daffy ones, but they've showed clips of the earlier ones on Cartoon College.
Still not picking up the channel but at least they changed the launch day for my area finally. Thread was still pretty fun though. Thanks for letting me enjoy it vicariously
I'm glad frndly got it by 2 hours
>>1442455666/10dont like the selections too much but they’ve got the scheduling and bumpers right. has a lot of potential and as long as they keep the rotation fresh it should do well. >>144245468what do you guys think the chances are for original programming?
>>144247549They said no, but you gotta admit Cartoon Network was in the same boat. I do think MeTV Toons could do dual airing like CN used to do. New and old together.
>>144246617highly doubt it but if they had the balls they would make an event to play the censored eleven
It's the meme.
>>144246109Get a stronger antenna or position it better.
>>144247570i dont mind if they never do, but man is the state of cartoons dire, i would really appreciate metv toons giving some young animators a chance. im pretty sure only fox and pbs kids are the last non cable channels that make any cartoons
>>144247570They don't want it to become like Cartoon Network. They want to keep it as the ultimate destination for classic cartoons and not stray from that at all.
>excited about this for months>day finally comes>local affiliate (which is not WKRG for some reason. Our local CBS channel) that carries it has a weak as fuck signal that can barely get picked up by anybodyThey had one fucking job, but I'm not mad, more upset than anything
>>144247640You can stretch that definition. Would you say "What's New Scooby-Doo?" didn't fit it at the time? I don't know, I assumed many things yet companies are unpredictable.
Hey! Our first widescreen cartoon!
Noticed that they haven't been airing too many ads, mostly promos. Maybe we'll be getting more of those later, but having advertisers pay for airtime seems kind of important for the channel's longevity.
The announcer's voice is like nails on a chalkboard
>>144247793It's Bob Bergen who's been voicing Porky for a while. I agree, they shouldn't have asked for such a nerdy-sounding performance. Leslie Fram he isn't.
>>144246617They showed The Cats Bah this evening. Funny how CN used to show it uncensored while ABC cut out the intro because Pepe was smoking. Neither would touch it now for completely different reasons.
>>144247793Yeah, it's annoying. The issue is they want people to know it's the guy who voices Porky Pig, so they have him do that voice instead of a regular announcer voice.
>>144247828The old ABC airings used to censor everything.
>>144247774The first 3 hours after launch had zero ads at all. I guess advertisers are waiting to see what the ratings are before putting money down.
BILLY MAYS HERE!! is peak infomercial comfy
>>144247570if they ever did air newer programming i would 100% expect it to either be new iterations of old properties, or new cartoons made in the same vein as classic cartoons
They air way too many theatrical cartoons, especially the WB-owned stuff. I know that it's probably because they're the best quality things they have the rights to, but the schedule could stand to have some variety.
>>144247952They're leaning on the WB stuff heavily starting out because WB has the largest percentage of cartoons restored in HD. Especially the really popular stuff like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Flintstones and Scoobdy Doo. As >>144245666 said, the schedule is going to go under heavy refreshment in the next six months.
>>144247952they have hour long blocks each of popeye+betty boop, tom and jerry + tex avery, and casper during the daythe morning opened up with beetlejuice and ghost busters
>>144247774You have to remember it's a smaller substation, they don't get many advertisers in the first placeAlso that it's the first day so a lot of the networks (and online networks) were slowly signing on, cable networks haven't added it yet, etc.It doesn't have the reach yet
>>144247952The Hanna Barbara catalog is pretty dominant on the channel outside the theatrical short blocks. >>144248019I definitely see The Mask leaving pretty quick, it's a movie spinoff show that's completely forgotten compared to the likes of Beetlejuice and Real Ghostbusters.
>>144248030That's sort of my point. Any variety like the 80's cartoons, anime, and Gerry Anderson shows are on at late night/early morning. A majority of the schedule when most people are watching are theatrical shorts.
>the ALF cartoons air at 5am-6amWhy does MeTV treat ALF like shit?
>>144248081Because primetime is reserved for the most watched and known content like Looney Tunes, Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, etc. while late night is given to the culty stuff for animation dorksThe normalfags would not be excited to pop up at 8 pm to watch Marine Boy, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home or Captain Scarlet
Why is Rocky and Bullwinkle on so late? You'd think it'd be earlier considering how popular it is and how much it's in the promotional material.
>>144248159It gets primetime airings during weekends
>>144248159Rocky and Bullwinkle will get plenty of play.
>>144248159Looks like they have earlier slots on the weekends too.
>>144246109I had that problem too, get one of those amplifiers and I'll fix that.
They should do themed days with decades.
>No Snagglepuss airings during pride monthThis is a hate crime
>>144248264Yogi Bear and Friends is pride enough.
>>144248264An act of racism, even!
Goodnight toonsters
I wonder how Toon in With Me is going to fare from now on. It sort of seems redundant when there's a channel showing these same cartoons all day.
>>144248264He was in today's Yogi's Gang episode where Dr. Bigot zaps Generic Hanna-Barbera Man with his bigotry ray.
>>144248497this channel isnt currently available in all markets, and may never be. so the main channel still serves a purposeid be more worried for the sunday night block on metv+. that channel isnt available hardly anywhere, and now is completely redundant
>>144248572All cartoons are now officially off the MeTV+ schedule starting this week.
>>144248594oofRIP metv+
>>144248572>>144248594Did MeTV+ serve any purpose or show anything notable? I know I had the channel (no idea if I still have it) but I thought it was pointless. I don't remember when MeTV started branching out outside of the Midwest, but does anybody remember when there was a MeTV and a MeToo?
>>144248862I'm pretty sure the main purpose was to show stuff they had the rights to but didn't have room for on the main MeTV network.
>>144248117The Real Ghostbusters, and Beetlejuice airs at 6am Central. That is cruel. It was like having to get up be an hour earlier before school to watch a cartoon no one else liked but you.
>>144249092>It was like having to get up be an hour earlier before school to watch a cartoon no one else liked but you.Don't remind me man
We /a/ now, boys.
She sounds cute
>>144247549>original programmingi hope you don't mean new cartoons. this channel should be what Boomerang was always supposed to be. a place to watch old cartoons, not a dumping ground for failed projects like boomerang became.
Did they skip the intro?
>>144249313No
I remembered how burned out I can feel after watching theatrical shorts for so long like I like them and all but they get old, Speed Racer feels like a breath of fresh air.
>>144249334I must of just missed it then, well let's find out if the murdering is censored like the 90's airing, I don't think it will be since they're using the remaster.
What the Fuck?
I'd really like it if they got the rights to more anime like Robotech, Star Blazers, and Battle of the Planets and made a whole Toonami-esque block.
>>144249364Well it's an anime not even old weebs care about, must of been dirt cheap.
>>144249364Every expense was spared when making that art.
>>144249371its still a nice addition, considering it was one the earliest true dubbings of an anime.
>>144249400True but it's so forgotten there's not in fansubs of the JP version unless I'm not looking hard enough.
>>144249366it would be so kewl to have a retro anime block
>>144249371Warner Bros. owns it, and they have access to essentially their entire library.
You think Disney will ever partner up eith the channel? And if they do, you think they'd air more of their classic catalog? Or am I still doomed, searching the web for out of print DVD's?
>>144249364
>>144249485I dout u will live to see it, man I miss mickey mouse works
>>144249485That's never happening.
>>144249485Expect getting the Saban/Fox Kids library anything other than that is unlikely
>>144249476Shame that Astro Boy's original show missing lot of episodes and I think it's in rights hell, the 80's show is fine though but won't be the same.>>144249485Disney doesn't even rerun it's old live action shows on other networks, I love to see Zorro on Me.
>>144249503>mickey mouse worksNow I'm just upset.
>>144249485maybe disney’ll start their own antenna channel for their classic cartoons to compete with metv toons.now what should they call it? hmmm…
>>144249485hard to say. doubt they would let something like Gargoyles air, but they might be willing to let some of their less popular classics air. streaming is a flub, so they might be willing to give it a try. also, there has to be sites you can watch them on. hell, I've watched a good share of classics on YouTube.
>>144249485>Disney >releasing there older cartoons
So this show is just like the 60's Aquaman cartoons but with better direction and music.
>>144249364Literally who?>>144249525That wouldn't be a good idea at all. People don't like Disney enough to view that right now. Plus, it I'll just come off as a desperate action. And too top it all off, not alot of folks feel nostalgia for their older cartoons, because they've always been bad at circulating them. Out of the over 300 Disney cartoons, ony like, 20 ever get acknowledged. It would actually be a better ides too just dump them on Me TV Toons, or make offical YouTube compilations, similar too what The Tom and Jerry, and Woody Woodpecker YT Channels do.Then again, I heard Disney + will aprently get there own live channels, similar to what Huku does. If they do that, I would definitely not mind them making a proper Disney Toons block.And hey, if Me TV Toon decides to get cocky, they could always just air the public domain Disney shorts, and even there WW2 shit.
>>144249537lol, yeah I'm getting that vibe
>>144249516>Shame that Astro Boy's original show missing lot of episodes and I think it's in rights hellAll of the dubbed episodes have always been around. It's just the Japanese version that's missing episodes, but I think even that is down to only one or two that are still missing.
>>144249371I've heard lots of anecdotes of early American anime fandom in the 60's and 70's and I don't recall anyone ever mentioning this show. It must not have gotten a lot of airtime.
>>144249485Classic Disney cartoons fucking suck though.
Will they add bob in a bottle?
Why do the protagonists of both Speed Racer and Marine Boy look to be flaming homosexuals?
>>144246760I mean, Bugs Bunny DID first appear in a Porky Pig cartoon…
Mermaid is just straight up topless, I guess the lack of nipples is why it's fine.
>>144249669while they aren't exactly my favorite, I wouldn't say all of them are terrible. would love it if they would air their 80s-90s cartoons.
You gotta love how janky anime was.
Lmfao, rip Flubber.
>>144249366>RobotechHell no.
It's good to know that guy who was shot multiple times was okay.
>>144249743What's wrong with it? It's certainly better than Marine Boy and Speed Racer.
>>144249720its interesting. are there any animes that have as smooth animation like prime Loony Tunes or Tom and Jerry?
Maskbros we SMOKIN tonight
>>144249751People hate the company behind it.
Why aren't all these movie cartoons a block?
>>144249766harmony gold is horrible, but I feel Robotech would still be kewl to see
>>144249752Some movies do, but nothing they made for TV does. A country like Japan has a lot less sponsor ship money than America, so besides a few rare cases they can't even make something on-par with the quality of our TV animation.
>>144249766What company
>>144249752Some old shorts but TV animation for anime about on same level of US just different ways of animating.
>>144249785Anime tends to look better to some people die to detail of the drawings and the direction even if it has less animation than American cartoons usually lacking character animation and anime doesn't do lipsync besides Akira.
Man now I want them to air The Tick.
Guys, stop your sperging the Mask is on!
>>144249776What did they do? Tax fraud?
>>144249807They made it hard get Japanese shows in the US for no reason even though Voltron company isn't like that.
4 easy payments.
Alright, I've been here since 6am. It's time for me to leave.Goodnight, everybody! It's been fun.
They should replace those puppet shows with cartoons.
>>144249485Now why would you think Disney would do something smart?
>>144245468Guys, if you live in the US, just get a basic TV antennae from Best Buy or Walmart, chances are a local channel will have MeTV.
>>144250199My TV actually has free cable. Tomorrow I'm gonna check if it has Me TV.
>>144249485you WILL pay for disney+
>>144249751Jerry Beck, one of the people behind this channel, was practically best buddies with Carl Macek, the creator or Robotech. The two of them created the very first anime distribution company in the United States, Streamline Pictures. I would be very, very surprised if Robotech didn't eventually show up.
>>144250987You get Macross uncut and like it, no one want the butcherment that is """"""Robotech"""""" when the real Macross is available.
>>144251017I would vastly prefer Macross uncut, but they ain't airing that on this channel.
>>144251035They are, if they extend the anime block as it will give shows Jason DeMarco wouldn't touch a chance, such as Macross and Minky Momo.
>>144251035>>144251051>But they ain't airing that on this channel.......Yet.
>>144251051>>144251059I like your positive attitude at least.
>>144251095Thanks.
Finally got my indoor antenna in a position to get this channel to come in without shitty ATSC distortion. Also can watch it wherever I go with a little ATSC tuner that plugs into my phone. Can;t wait to watch cartoons at work!!!!
>>144251119If they end up doing a dedicated retro anime block (not just 60s but also 80s and 90s) that would be amazing.
>>144251129I say up to the mid 2000s.
Does anyone here know if this channel has a Ku-band or C-band satellite feed?
>>144250852...NEVER!!
>>144250852I'll sub to it again when they drop new episodes of X-Men '97. Until then, it would be a waste of money.
Captain Planet. I even enjoy the E/I content on this channel.

Time for the ghost with the most.
I never saw Beetlejuice before. It's pretty good.
>>144245468Add a streaming option with a free trial and $5 a month and I would sub
>>144251754You could always try frndly, they have a free trial. They're a little more expensive at 7 dollars a month but you do get a bunch of other channels.
I like this channel, it's everything I could want, but I wish they didn't play that awful commercial with the realistic CG cat heads on the human bodies so often. That kind of horrible CG is what drives me to go back and watch these 30+ year old shows in the first place.
>>144248264>One time, Mr. Barbera playfully threatened one of our writers, Steve Marmel, after he insinuated that Snagglepuss was gay.>“He was modeled after Bert Lahr. He was anything but gay. He beat his wife.” Mr. Barbera retorted.>After that, Butch Hartman started egging Mr. Barbera on saying, “Are you gonna take that from Steve? He’s calling one of your character’s gay!”>Mr. Barbera calmly said, “Don’t be surprised if you wake up one morning and… (Mr. Barbera makes a slitting of the throat gesture) Remember. A Sicilian never forgets.”
>>144251763Yeah, but they are mostly trash channels or channels that I already get OTA.
>>144251788>He was modeled after Bert Lahr. He was anything but gay. He beat his wife.Lots of homosexual men who got married to women due to social pressures ended up being abuse to their wives, Mr. Barbera.
>>144251779i haven't seen any commercial like that, it might be from your local distributor
>>144251779Not getting any of that just cash advance scams, air broom, and Ice T.
Seeing Beetlejuice again unlocked a long forgotten memory of my very first OC of a little ghost boy with the head of a hammerhead shark that went to school in the Neitherworld.
>>144251808
>>144251788They made Yogi’s Gang so any opinion of the characters they have is invalid
>>144252243Joe Barbera was one of the creators of Snagglepuss (alongside Ed Benedict), what Joe says is gold.
It’s over METV Trooners…
Do I have to buy one of those archaic antennas you plug in the back just to get this channel or will any new current antenna device pick it up?
24 hours in and I love this channel so far
>>144252978as long as you have it locally and modern antenna should workyou could also get frndly or philo instead but those have monthly fees obviously
>>144253144*any modern antenna
I get it locally and it comes in great!
There must be some way to keep that bruin off the base!!!

>>144249525>>144249599Here in LatAm, in the 2010s, we used to have 'Club Disney', an afternoon block on a antenna channel made to promote cable TV, using only older cartoons for this.

>>144250987Carl Macek help bring anime to US uncut with Streamline but he gets all the dhit with Robotech even though he was just doing his job with Harmony Gold, he wanted to do normal dubs of those shows.
>>144257951LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
>>144251129Going be honest I kinda don't want anime on here and I'm a weeb but I rather just stick 90% American like Speed Racer is a enough and basically ours anyways.
Repositioned my antenna so that the dipoles hang across the top of the balcony door horizontally, and this seems to have helped a lot. There are still some dropouts but at least it's watchable most of the time. Of course, right now there's only Richie Rich slop on, gotta wait for Scooby Doo to start watching again.
Scooby Doo more like Scooby Poo
>>144258808having perfect reception is pretty good, but not $100 a month good. especially with how dead cable is currently
>>144259292Yeah. Cable isn't worth it. The channels are all basically on auto play and play the same 4 or 5 shows over and over in small marathons. Terrible. Channels like MeTV are good but they're over the air channels and not cable so it's a bit different. Ironically, the channels you can get for free are much higher in quality than the ones you have to pay for.
>>144259427The free live streaming channels like on Roku and Pluto are better than shit on cable even if it's all reruns.
>>144259427yeah doesnt fox still try to make new content? i dont watch mich tv but it seems like they always have new stuff that gets added on streaming services
>>144258808So you know:Those people aren't just autists, they are underage children. The cable or satellite they have is just their parents, and they don't have a job so they can't buy a $20 antenna, and wouldn't even know how to get it to work in the first place
>>144259481Just buy a Roku and an antenna and never pay for TV.
This show is kinda massive shit lol how did it become so popular
>>144259547It always was. I remember when Cartoon Network used to play it 7 times a day (and this was when CN was actually good). It was the only sore spot on an otherwise stellar schedule. Like I get kiddies like the dumb talking dog, but too much is too much.
>>144258186Women apparently like Baby Bottleneck and the other one. They love seeing Tom and Daffy get put in their place. Then again Daffy was a manic heckler. He wasn't a loser until the 50s
>Eep op ork ah ahSo that's where it's from
I can't see the Flintstones intro without thinking of Pibby
Interesting that they're using the intro from the later seasons of The Flintstones instead of the original. I'm guessing because it runs shorter and so they can squeeze in more ads.
MeTV could just stream their program on twitch like tokuSHOUTsu does, people would pay to have emotes of the characters.
>>144260043You need to be 18 to post here.
>>144260101They're not trying to market this stuff at kids at all. This channel is a haven for older cartoon lovers, who probably don't know what a Twitch is.
>>144260195goodkeep kids away
>>144260195Twitch? The only twitch I know is the one I feel in my lower back every time I get out of bed every morning!
I want to fuck Wilma and Betty!
>>144260324who didn't?
>>144245468i still don't have it bros
The less autistic children who watch this the better, animation needs to move on from the devientart autistic children
>>144260289Only way kids are going to watch this is through their parents and grandparents.
>>144260101>tokuSHOUTsuAll I know of this was seeing Skull from Power Rangers shilling it on channel ads.
>>144260658as it should beit is the privilege of age to have an over the air TV station dedicated to old mediaeven cartoons
>>144247952MeTV Toons is partially a WB venture so they're getting prominent placement
They're showing a Speedy Cartoon from the pre-Daffy Seven Arts days.
Most likely additions:>Superfriends>Fleischer Superman>(maybe the Filmation DC cartoons)>Space Ghost heroes block with Herculoids, Birdman, Frankenstein JR, etc>Laff a lympics >Hong Kong Phooey>Jabberjaw (maybe?)Kind of feel like Jerry Beck wouldn't want all those 70s Scooby clones and slop like Laverne and Shirley in Space
How is Speedy and shorts like that supposed to be offensive again?
>>144261639Speedy is an anti-capitalist hero. Most of the shorts deal with how oppressive powers keeping the mice from food.
>Looney Tunes at 8 pmHow is this a real channel
They should just fill this channel with 80s, 90s, 00s shows too no one wants. There's so many cartoons from Saturday morning they could showcase that don't get viewed on Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Max, etc and would do way better on here.
>>144261717If there's one thing anti-capitalists have in abundance, it's food.
>>144261850They have that food because of mass farming technology that puts people out of work.
>>144261801>Looney Tunes from 8pm to 10pmIt's a miracle
They moved the launch to tomorrow again for my city.
>>144261614damn I hope so, can't wait to tune in to sum Super friends n filmation dc
>>144246208not you again, pibby.
>>144263509She's not coming back and good riddance moar leik wood riddance
Toony! What the fuck! I love Toony the Tuna! This is gold. GOLD
I wonder if Toon in With Me will start showing the UPA and non-Popeye Famous cartoons, or if there's something preventing them from airing on the main channel.
>>144261614Shows that metv toons should add imo:>Wally Gator>Huckleberry Hound Show>Tiny Toons>Animaniacs>Terrytoons
>>144261479WB owns a lot more cartoons than the theatrical shorts, and half of the shorts aren't even WB-owned.
Have you ever wanted you house to smell GOOD?
>>144263876Holy shit. Patchy is that dude.
>>144263749https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totally_Tooned_InAs for UPA, this show will be on all night on sundays
This cartoon is like in fuckin HD. Damn.
>tfw no classic euro cartoons
>>144263915Isn't it usually soviet stuff?
>>144253902https://youtu.be/S0-coASIjkQ
>>144263897No, Toon in With Me. The show that airs on the main MeTV channel.
>>144263876What does this mean?
>>144263970Are you telling me there's a full catalogue of Toony the Tuna I haven't seen yet?
I had that jeep toy
Mother fucker actin like Isildor
Toony may be the most important puppet on television.

Someone type that out. I dare ya.

Was that really that short? Things seem so much longer when you're kid.

>>144264214OKAY, GOONERS!
So my house can smell like a hotel? AMAZING
I wish Wacky Races would follow up after Speed Racer in the midnight slot
Lookin fine on that turtle neck.
>>144264297I had never seen Wacky Races. Hilarious hearing the VA for the announcer barely able to hold his shit together.

Richard Karn, the Great Creator
Richard Karn!!
>>144264466>I don't think so, Toony.
' think I've watch more public access tv in the last 36 hours than I had in the first half of the year
I'm really very good lookin! Mom, yeah!
PROMO CODE BRUX62
underbrush, we back
Polly got huge tits
Will the thread explode again now that the anime is back on?
>>144264585I'm staying up until they finish The Mask
>>144249276She is cute, they kidnap her or tie her up on almost every episode
I have no idea what episode "He's going over that cliff" comes from, but I'm going to watch every day until it shows up.
Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.
>>144264585>Will the thread explode again now that the anime is back on?I mean Sailor Moon is on Cartoon Network
>>144264601>I'm staying up until they finish The Masksame, I had forgotten how fun that show was
I think the puppet shows suck, not even animated too.
I'm thankful that they play these puppet shows. It gives me a chance to watch something else for a change.
for some reason my channel gets the eastern time schedule despite me being west coast.
>>144265229The Mask proves one thing to me, they could use a few more 90s shows. I can't think of any other channel that plays any 90s cartoons of any kind. But I think they're the absolute peak when it came to tv animation.
>>144266224Bill and Ted's cartoon would fit in the E/I block
Frndly tv is not loading right now help me
>>144266224Back To The Future.
>>144266407just tuned in for Captain planet and mines loading to
>>144266460not loading*
>>144266407It's down. I had to switch over to Philo (free trial) for the time being.
>>144266558smart
Philo TV is so much more expensive then Frndly so it's not worth it if ur gonna watch one thing
>>144266666nope. I have a free trial of it going since the launch but I cancelled it immediately so it doesn't charge me at the end of the trial.
>>144266407>>144251686
>>144266692It is back
I really, really, really wish Inspector Gadget came on earlier alongside Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, and Police Academy. Weird that they split up the action/comedy 80s cartoons like that.
>>144266850Yeah. Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters are perfect companion shows since they both deal with ghosts and the supernatural. Police Academy and Inspector Gadget would work well together as a 'wacky cops' hour.
>>144266876I feel like this would be a better early morning schedule, but they probably wanted to keep Bugs Bunny on at 8 for the people who are getting ready for work/school.6:00a Captain Planet6:30a Police Academy7:00a Inspector Gadget7:30a The Real Ghostbusters8:00a Beetlejuice8:30a Underdog9:00a Bugs Bunny and Friends9:30a Bugs Bunny and Friends
>>144266926Replace 'Underdog' with 'The Mask' and that's a helluva nice morning block.I like Underdog but this 1996 syndication package doesn't do it for me.
Ghostbusters!!!
>>144266987This episode is legitimately pretty creepy.
>>144266926>They probably wanted to keep Bugs Bunny on at 8 for the people who are getting ready for work/school.Who gets ready for work at 8 lol latest I ever started was 8 and unless you work from home you're missing it
>>144267023I guess the logic would be for the 9 to 5 crowd. I don't see any other good reason to split all the 80s cartoons up with Bugs Bunny and Underdog like that.
>>144266995cant wait for the "collect call to kuthulu" episodebut the zombie farm hand episode was the creepiest episode
>>144266995I wish the recent live action films would take more inspiration from this show in terms of tone.
I never saw Ghostbusters before but I think it might be my favorite show on the channel that I've seen so far.
literally the best block of television right now
>>144267131Agreed!!
>>144267131That would be late Saturday into Sunday’s 90s block
I like how it takes a literally gremlin to outdo Bugs
>>144267377Or a turtle
>>144263823Terrytoons requires striking a deal with Paramount/Viacom
>>144266850>>144266876>>144266926Toon in With Me still airs on MeTV prime and they don't want to split its audience. Ghostbusters/Beetlejuice is different enough from classic theatrical cartoons and plays more to the 80s/90s nostalgia. This way they're serving both boomers and millenials
>>144266835nice
>>144266688that's the way
>>144267604Yeah. The only problem with the Philo version of MeTV Toons is that they cut out *ALL* of the fun promos and Cartoon College segments for commercials. Frndly cuts out some of them but not all.
>>144267551They have Betty Boop as most of the Fleischer library is own by Paramount, Warner Bros only has the Popeye (characters are own by King Features however) and Superman shorts.
>>144267647damn that actually sucks
>>144267654Most of the Betty Boop they air is public domain and they're working with the Fleischer estate to air restored versions. The "Famous Studios" character rights are all carved up but Paramount doesn't own Betty
That green flea and the dog, man I haven't seen that in so long. Bless this channel.
>>144267711I was figuring that, but I know the Fleischer estate owns Betty and her friends (including Koko and Bimbo) since the early 1970s.Since MeTV does have a deal with NBC Universal Felix the Cat isn't out of the question since they already have Rocky and Bullwinkle, Underdog, the Walter Lantz library and the Harveytoons.And since Oswalt the Lucky Rabbit bas been public domain since 2023 they can air the Lantz Oswalts without Disney going ballistic due to that NBC Universal deal.
>>144267647man so all these ads I'm seeing are from Frndly? that's really gay
Easily the best part is the shitty actual children screaming online when they find out their parent’s Xfinity, Spectrum, etc doesn’t plan to ever carry this channel and being locked out of watching MeTV Toons as it’s only for adult chads
>>144267981Moreso they would just need a 24.99 digital antenna.
>>144267981Thats not what going on, they're just using Frndly to get around Xfinity, Spectrum, etc's lack of MeTV Toons.
>>144268045Adults are getting an antenna if there’s a nearby signal to or just subscribing to Frndly, both of which are affordable to any adult with a jobThese kids can’t do either since they have no means to do so which means they are locked out, which is bringing animation back to adults only
>>144268100Theres also >>144251686
>>144268100What the fuck are you on about? Not only are kids not going to know or care, it seems like you would want as many people to see these as possible. You gut a weird attitude about children. Seems childish.
>>144267938probably not all of them since everyone seems to be seeing the Billy Mays commercials, but if they're cutting into the middle of the channel's bumpers or whatever then they're probably from frndly or whatever
wait does he want to eat the smurfs or make them into gold or something
>>144268257It was very unclear from the very beginning. I think he just has a hate boner for them.
>>144268257In most episodes he wants to cook them and eat them.
>>144268257It used to be that Smurfs were crucial ingredients in making a Philosopher's Stone that could give him the power to turn all matter into gold. Over time, it just became pure hate for the annoying blue bastards.
Help... I cant stop watching this channel... I was wrong. It is not making me feel more productive. Just nostalgic and happy.
So, what, are we in thd dreaded Baby Looney Tunes block or something?
>>144269396Yogi's Gang, almost as dreadful
>>1442455668/10Best thing on antenna since the weird Smile network or normal Me Tv
Wtf is up with the random old Billy Mays ads etc? I love it but are they just playing old WOC recordings?
Praying they mix up the schedule soon
The entire family is dead?
>>144270663They will, they have a lot of shows they want to rotate in that didn’t make the initial launchYogi’s Gang will probably be replaced with the proper Yogi Bear series within a month
I wish I had my VCR and DTV converter box handy, for the true "the stuff I wanna watch comes on too early" experience.
Lily Belle!AWOOOGA
>no more Wacky Races until tomorrowDrat! And double drat! And triple drat!
weird how they mix the UPA cartoons into “Popeye and Pals”.these should either be on “Cartoon All-Stars” or their own little block.
>>144246164It depends on whether or not they can nab the local affiliate in your area.

>>144260349I'm with you fren, we gotta stand strong for now and we'll be rewarded some day
>>144260910Some of my fondest memories are of watching cartoons at my grandma's house as a kid.k2yd
>>144271802Woah woah woah, cool it with the profanity there Snidely, there are children here

>>144245566Pros:>good variety, not too many of the same show played in a row>well curated blocks that don't just focus on one single character>not a single thing on the channel I won't at least leave on in the background>no zoomer cartoons with poorly drawn kid characters>good mix of classics and obscurities, as well as some stuff from the 80s and 90s>most of the content is remastered and looks great>promos are fun and enjoyable>it uses channel bumpers, something that's rare in this day and ageCons:>Rocky & Bullwinkle uses the awful replacement music>Underdog uses the 1996 syndication package with the out of place music>a little too much emphasis on theatrical shorts during peak hours>needs some superhero shows>certain shows like 'The Mask' aren't part of any block and are just lingering by themselves in the middle of the night where no one will watch them>Frndly and Philo tend to preempt the fun promos with shitty commercials>channel bumpers could be a little more personalized (ie. "Now back to Wacky Races" instead of "Now back with more cartoon fun, continuing now!")Overall, I give it a 9 with some room for improvement. But it's the best new channel for animation since the original Cartoon Network launched.
Judy or Jane?
>>144274593I prefer GUNSMOKE, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.
>>144274793I was always a Jane kind of a guy.
>>144275206It's honestly a tough decision. I've airways really liked Judy's hair style.
I want a Cactus Cooler! Fred makes it sound very refreshing.

Watch cartoons over the debate lmao.
>>144276394yeah I'm not watching that
>>144276416Be funny if they get more views just from people switching over.
>>144276394I'm am watching the debateBugs debating with Yosemite to get the artifact back
>>144276394I want MeTV Toons to receive more viewership than that upcoming sad show. Everyone already made up their minds on which idiot they are voting for already.
>>144276650It's going get a decent amount of extra numbers from people who don't care lol
Who's watching right now?
>>144276695Chicken hawk?
Beaky, what makes you so incredibly stupid?
>>144249645It didn't. It had some success in Australia, though.
>>144276695Gotta wait 3 more minutes for Skooks.

Bugs is still on for me.

>>144278246Tennessee Tuxedo pays on the same timeslot as Underdog, like how Rocky and Bullwinkle has other segments
R&B is such a comfy show
We need more H-B shows. Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Space Ghost, that sort of stuff.
Did they really advertise a show airing at 1 am lol
>>144278423I feel like the Peter Potamus timeslot should alternate between the other non-Yogi HB tie wearing animal shows.
>>144278474They should replace one of the half hour runs for SmurfsWe don’t need a full fucking hour of Smurfs
Okay, what would you add or move around from the weeknight evening/late night schedule for next month?
>>144278767I wish Bullwinkle and Speed Racer were on at more convenient times because I have a lot of fond memories watching those on CN, but maybe they aren't as popular as some of the other shows. I like Scooby Doo right where it's at because I can watch it while eating dinner, and it seems like one of the shows with the widest appeal because it's such a big franchise even today.
>the tomato/ketchup gagClassic
>>144260101Giving it away for free in that fashion would hurt their affiliates and any carriage agreements with pay-TV providers. That's presumably why the upcoming FAST channel will have a different schedule.
Her voice is so cute
>>144265830>>144266011what puppet shows are they showing
air the moxy show and ill lose my shit
>>144279349You’ll have to wait until CN as a whole gets dissolved before you get that.
>>144273007>“We are not picking this channel up. While we do have the capacity to add another channel on 5.3, MeTV Toons is not on the radar at this time,” says Branden Frantz, president and general manager of Hearst Television’s WLWT-TV.
>>144278246You just reminded me that Disney said they were going to make a movie of Tuxedo Panguin
I don't think I've ever watched Speed Racer before. I'm impressed by the atmospheric stuff going on right now. It's just a long drive through a storm, pretty rad.
Anyone here seen the original mach agogo? If so tell me if the experience is different or not

People don't like to call these puppet shows cartoons, but they're basically the same thing as movies like Frozen, where most of the "animation" is done by moving puppets around, only done digitally instead of by hand.
>>144279349I'm pretty sure Cartoon Network doesn't even have the assets to that anymore. Cartoon Network didn't save any of their shit. If they exist, they're on privately owned tapes from somebody who worked on it.
>>144280410I watched Fireball XL5 yesterday (thanks for the stream btw), and I found this 1960's black-and-white marionette show bizzare. I would like to see it in color so I edited a screenshot.

LET FUCKING GOOOO!!
>>144281322BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD

>>144281906Zoomies have the media literacy of redpill pipeline of what they consider to be problematic censorship. Racism is bad, and should be censored, cultural gags like poking fun at the French is funny because they are weird.
