MeTV Toons Launches this Summer and Every Show Coming

Due to the astronomical ratings success of MeTV’s Saturday Morning Cartoons and Toon in with Me blocks, MeTV is launching their cartoon spinoff channel MeTV Toons on June 25th! Many people including me have predicted for a few years now that some sort of channel like this was going to launch.
MeTV is the saving grace of television and I really appreciate their mission of providing quality classic programming to viewers over the air for free! Could this mean the grand comeback of Saturday morning blocks and antenna television? If you are worried that your favorite classic cartoon wasn't listed, don't worry! MeTV plans to rotate and add other cartoons as time goes on! This is merely the tip of the ice berg and what they are starting off with.

4:37 Fun Fact: TBS back in the 80s was supposed to air the original 1979 Doraemon Anime here in the US, as “The Adventures of Albert And Sidney”, but backed out at the last minute, meaning that if they did picked up the rights, then Doraemon would definitely show up on MeTV Toons.

There is a VERY LARGE population of Senior adults and Boomers with no access to cable, satellite and streaming, who remain underserved by digital television when it comes to the classic cartoons they grew up with and used to be on REGULAR television!

You summed it up perfectly! Not just that, lower income families have to suffer through that dreaded preschool slop on PBS that lacks any substance, so having an actual quality animation channel on antenna TV is a match made in heaven.

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

I would love it if they would pick up Dexter's Laboratory and classic The Powerpuff Girls, but what they have planned right now is a great start! The classic version of The Powerpuff Girls, which aired over 25 years ago, is a throwback to many classic animation styles used in American cartoons and Japanese anime, with tributes and homages to Hanna-Barbera thrown in. The even got the original voices of Rocky and Bullwinkle to voice a pair of Powerpuff Girls supervillains in the later seasons. If The Powerpuff Girls aired on MeTV Toons, it would mark the second time on over-the-air broadcasts that the cartoon aired after a brief period of time on Kids' WB in 2002.

This is very promising for a few reasons. Weigel has done a pretty good job filling nostalgia niches. OTA broadcasting doesn't seem to be a growth industry, but it still has an audience. There were so many short-lived animated shows from roughly 1960-2000. Most of them didn't turn out to be billion $ franchises, but would be great fodder for a cartoon channel in a time when getting a few million viewers is a home run. When you factor in Saturday morning cartoons, golden age shorts, weekday syndicated advertainment, family-friendly anime, and Turner era original cartoons, it would take 12 years of round the clock programming to burn through the whole loop.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

MeTV broadcasts 62 different shows per week, which is IMPRESSIVE!

Muppet babies is a Disney show. I think Warner Bros and related shows would be on there.

[@notauntarctic]

if this streaming service give us EVERYTHING that hannah barbera has EVER MADE, that means we may not need to search for The Moxy Show anymore. Although that means that they would have to actually acknowledge the show exists which Cartoon Network is basically allergic to doing. Except that one time during that Ok Ko special even tho he appeared for like 2 seconds and that's about it. I'm still really hopeful for this network to succeed!!

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Pretty sure it’s not a streaming service and I hope it isn’t because real TV is actively dying and I sorta hate streaming now. I like having my content fed to me

[@kcthesledgestoryteller]
