MeTV Toons Massive Expansion Coming this Fall

[@dragonxblkangelx216]

MeTV Toons is so far the best Tv channel to watch in 2024

[@the-NightStar]

I personally don't think it's going to last, and I think people are making this out to be a bigger deal than it really will be. I don't see this channel being able to maintain any continuous monetary or rating support for longer than 1 or 2 years at most before it goes dry.

Getting an antenna for OTA is much cheaper and speedier than waiting on a cable or dish service to finally offer it.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

The problem is that the channel is not available in all markets and it is mainly hosted on low-power stations

[@trustnoone3007]

Philo is a good alternative to watch MeTV Toons. Although, you have to pay $25 a month for it. However, I like it because you can record the shows you love and watch any of the episodes at your own time. They just did a Bugs Bunny marathon last weekend for his birthday and played 24 hours of nonstop Bugs Bunny cartoons. Plus I can rewatch those cartoons or episodes again as a marathon. Try out Philo and see if it’s worth it. They have a 7 day free trial. Philo also have other many channels you can watch. It’s available in the US, but not sure everywhere else. And I like it because I don’t have to use cable ever again.

[@CornelioLazarus-sg4gx]

@@luisaquino8894 I think when Freakazoid ends its run on Saturday nights, Xiaolin Showdown will take its place due to being of the shows that MeTV Toons has the license to, which could leave Taz-mania as another show to take a slot alongside it, given it didn’t get enough attention back then, Taz-Mania would make sense given that the channel is also focused on getting obscure shows. It could go like this with the next slot. 10:30 pm=Tiny Toons Adventures, 11:00pm=Taz-Mania, 11:30pm=Xiaolin Showdown This would be similar to the first Saturday run due to having two slapstick cartoons and one action adventure one, although Duck Dodgers does preserve elements and is based on the Looney Tunes.

What would really be awesome, is if MeTV Toons acquired the rights to air both seasons of Back to the Future: The Animated Series, which aired on CBS in 1991 and Fox in 2002, and used it to fulfill the channel's E/I requirements as well as air it during their Totally Animated '80s block, since the film it was based on came out in 1985 (with sequels in 1989 and 1990), making the cartoon 1980s-adjacent.

My idea for MeTV Toons to air Garfield and Friends, Bobby's World and even various Rankin-Bass shows. Maybe MeTV Toons will air Rankin-Bass Holiday Specials, while ABC, CBS, Freeform and AMC still has the rights to air the Rankin-Bass Holiday Specials in late November and the month of December.

I believe they can pull something off. if it does happen, that would be crazy for a video game block. I could see Mario, Sonic, and pac-man leading it off, however, if they could get the license to it, we could see pokemon as well and pikachu lead the 4th, and we can get the other game based shows like space ace, dragon’s lair, frogger, kangaroo, among others to make like an arcade block. however mario, sonic and pac-man has to lead the trio since they were the big 3 popular characters of the day.

[@blind_t2]

I know bob burgon does the main voiceovers, however, here’s my dream voiceover cast for the video game block should it happen. for female, I’d say veronica taylor could be a good run, then for males, I’d see Charles Martinet, and/or roger craig smith doing promo for that block.

One show Disney owns that they’re doing nothing with is The Tick. The 1960’s Spider Man and Fantastic Four would be awesome too. I highly doubt Disney will do anything with any of these. Now, if I could only find a way to get the channel in Canada. I also agree on the sensitive cartoons. I’d simply run them with a disclaimer.

[@MrStereo10]

@@HimeNoKuri I do too. It was great seeing all those Disney characters together. I’d love to know why it and other 1 Saturday Morning and Disney Afternoon shows aren’t on there. then again they should have all the vintage animated shorts up on there too.

I'm confused by the comments about needing an antenna. I got MeTV Toons from the start with my cable provider. I have Spectrum, it is channel 806. It was mislabeled on the channel guide for a while, though. I really enjoyed getting to see some of those marionette based shows from the 60s in the middle of insomnia night

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I'm glad you were able to get it!

[@impalaman9707]

Harveytoons is one of the top reasons I watch ME TV Toons! Many of these, cable TV has neglected to air for decades, or in some cases, some of the non-Casper ones, I have NEVER seen before, so they are new to me, and I very much enjoy them the same way I do the HB and WB animation

[@christopherdunne7848]

The more Modern Madcaps, the better, I say!

[@impalaman9707]

@@christopherdunne7848 I like the fact that they give the year that the cartoon was copyrighted right off the bat in very clear print (and not Roman numerals like WB) so you know what year it was made. But yeah--Modern Madcaps are what I call "smart-toons", because they are usually for people hip to intelligent humor

[@sonofretrotvluver]

My choices for future airings: Ruff & Reddy (hard to schedule since they were cliffhangers; maybe they could put them in a half-hour together with HB's Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello and Sinbad Jr.), Hoppity Hooper with the original ABC opening--not the syndie Uncle Waldo open, the King Features Trilogy shorts, and Cool McCool!

[@robbarbour3173]

I could see super mario bros cartoons on the channel someday. Since Dic Production shows like captain planet airs on metv toons. 🤔

[@oneichancritchlow5877]

Just wondering about cartoons like The Arabians Knights, Shazzan, Prince Valiant, Jabba-Jaws, The Bananasplits Show etc etc etc. There's so many many more classic cartoons out there.

[@christopherdunne7848]

I say, give them time. Overkill at the beginning is the worst thing they could do. Every show requires getting the rights from the owner (as Warner Bros now controls all Hanna-Barbera property).

[@JHVipond]

I suppose Hanna-Barbera's version of "The Little Rascals" is out of reach for MeTV Toons. Weigel would have to consult not only WBD, but also Paramount, which owns the former King World, and possibly the estate of Hal Roach.

[@brooke8567]

It sucks.

[@impalaman9707]

The reason why cable channels haven't updated their logos for their "technical difficulties" screens is that they haven't had to use them in so long because they finally invented what they thought was "unbreakable media" once they went digital! I know I haven't seen them until recently for decades, actually

they should update the lineup for thanksgiving to also include in addition to daffy cartoons, some Foghorn leghorn cartoons as well ,it would make sense cause people tend to like that rooster have a duck and rooster mixed marathon

[@dannyvestal299]

Me TV can be picked up here in in East Texas, but there is absolutely NO trace of The Toons channel part of their broadcast. Not even a spot that says MeTV Toons. Such a shame to have something that the people want but NO one is airing it. Not even a stinking app! That's about how it goes rhese days. Thanks for your info sir!👍🏽

[@mikebode7560]

If puppetry is being treated as a form of animation (as it should be IMO), I wonder if they'd ever consider adding Fraggle Rock (the original Muppet version). I'd also love classic Sesame Street from the late '60s to early '90s, though I know that's a serious longshot. And of course we can forget about The Muppet Show due to Disney ownership.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Fraggle Rock is the most likely, but the rights to Sesame Street are semi-complicated, as they would have to consult Sesame Workshop, Warner Bros Discovery (who currently owns the streaming rights), and possibly PBS.

[@impalaman9707]

I don't want to water down ME TV Toons with "live action" stuff---if you add that plus all the Marty Krofft puppetry from the 70s, there won't be any room for all the 100 years of non-Disney animation that has been languishing away in storage for decades and deserves a good airing on a channel dedicated to animation! Its like MTV or Cartoon Network---once you water things down with things that are not purely what the channel was intended for, it won't be long before it becomes a "cartoon channel in name only" , and I don't want to open those kind of floodgates! Call me a "purist", but that's where I stand!
