It feels so weird seeing people talk about MeTV in the year 2024 since I grew up with it almost always on. When I'd spend the day with my grandparents and Noggin went off the air for the night or I was busy playing outside, they always put on MeTV. They're practically carrying Television at this point and still go out of their way to make neat bumpers for their shows. They know their audience and cater to them well, (at least according to my grandparents who have been watching MeTV since its launch.) My grandparents watched Boomerang a lot when they realized CN moved the old cartoons to their boomerang block, so I imagine they're pretty stoked about this since they're fans of cartoons.

[@Real_The_Goof]

Trust me. Anyone born before or during the 1990s is pretty excited for this.

Have one day All Hanna Barbera 6. Have one day all WB 7. One day every other non-WB and HB 8. One day all 1930s and 40s 9. One day all 1950s and 60s 10. One day all 1970s and 80s 11.

True that, but it did get worse and worse over time... until we now get nothing animated it seems.

[@jonchambers1541]

Exactly the Kid Vid Law screwed up modern animation when it came to cartoons in the 90's. The FCC can't touch the channel since it's not a big network like ABC CBS NBC Fox. As of the cartoons Beetlejuice The Real Ghostbusters Mr. T and a few others have been confirmed.

[@pablodelgado7919]

It is a shame and sad to see how not just cartoons but also animated movies had regressed so much over the years along with just tv in general compared to the tv i used to watch as a kid. Back then you had so much variety like "i'm naming these on top of my head from what i can remember" Freakazoid, Thundercats, Yogi Bear, Twinkle "or Rayito" as we called it here, Widget, Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, Where in the world is Carmen San Diego, Inspector Gadget, Bobby's World, The Jetsons, Flinstones ect. When it comes to animated movies there was a charm to them that hasn't been replicated ever since like with The Iron Giant, Atlantis, Anastasia, Hercules, Beauty & The Beast, Emperor's Groove, Road to El Dorado and so on and the way it was presented was so unique from one another and had so much personality to it. Nowadays cartoons have become just reruns after reruns and the artstyle is just more of the same with barely any noticeable changes and it's not surprising in the slightest as to why Cartoon Network has been on a downward spiral, then again it's been for years once they got rid of the variety that it once had back in the 90's to early 2000's it's not even worth watching TV in general anymore.

[@Real_The_Goof]

I hate saying it but i'd rather than not put anything live action. So no power rangers. The rest, fore sure.

[@emilysantoyo918]

When I first heard about this news I was so excited because I’m a huge fan of old school cartoons from back in the day. Especially when they used to air reruns of those cartoons on Boomerang. (Which doesn’t exist anymore as a channel.) I will be putting this channel on 24/7 on my TV once it released.📺😃😃

[@Real_The_Goof]

Same boat here. I'm glad to finally see an over the air network like this.

[@rosemarry3226]

I think the loop whole is, that classic cartoons are a part of history and it's a history lesson on cartoons of the past.

[@Real_The_Goof]

Yeah, the FTC and FCC can't say much becaues the aim isn't kids but adults who grew up with this stuff.

[@michaeljones2925]

I hope we get Me tv toons here in Baltimore MD

[@BlakeBlackstone]

Even in the 90s and early 2000's we were still watching cartoons from the 80's and all the way back to the 50's. There was so much content. And it was better than the cartoons nowadays. Boomerang is still around but all they do is loop the same 3 shows over and over. It's not good.

[@fernablo702]

Boomerang is still active, I got that channel on Sling TV. It was pretty bland when it first rebranded back in 2015, but very lately, they've been showing classic cartoons again, alongside airing newer/recent stuff.

I'm sure it is. But it's going down hill.. everything is..

@@Real_The_Goof 200% betting your "down hill" is the decrease in spots for shows in your younger years being on the air, replaced with what was on the air in my early age...which is already about half of your content, and the other half being ~1995-2004.

I’m unsure about Boomerang is still around in the U.S. except I know it exists as a streaming service. In Canada, both Cartoon Network and Boomerang still exist. However, both channels run basically the same programming, just at at different times. Canada desperately needs MeTV Toons as there is absolutely NO classic animation older than 1990 on Canadian TV or streaming services. Even apps like Tubi and Pluto that offer some classic cartoons in the U.S., all of it is missing from the Canadian versions of these platforms. Seeing the lineup MeTV Toons is going to off has me in tears knowing I won’t be able to get it. 😭😢😔😞

Cartoon network hasn't produced anything good in over a decade. Same thing with Nickelodeon outside of SpongeBob. Disney hasnt had anything good for a long time. Alot of channels haven't had much good content in years. The main thing cable is good for is live sports anymore. Nothing has all live sports you want to watch in one place.
