MeTV Toons is scheduled to premiere in June. Can't wait for it.

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.

Cable TV regressed back to its early years airing reruns on its channels.

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.

You are right they were showing the original Space ghost and herculoids, Birdman from the 60s on CN. The soundtrack music on those shows are worth a fortune alone. High quality rare shows that came back on Boomerang.

Boomerang is barely holding on. We pay $50 a year for the limited content they offer. Not a terrible selection, but definitely looking to sharing the best cartoons ever to my kids thanks to this new channel.

Cartoon Network sadly lost it's way as well Boomerang.

Same here, I'm in your camp too, I like Saturday morning cartoons too watching them well into my fifties.

I really miss watching saturday morning cartoon and that suck

If they show more classic anime than just Speed Racer I am pumped. I think Discotek Media would probably be on board with licensing stuff, red Jacket Lupin would fit so well.

My wish list for the new ME TV toons channel: 1. No Nick Toons 2. No Disney Toons 3. No New Creations 4. No Live action---pure cartoons (the way MTV should have been as ALL music) 5. 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. One day all 90s and 2000s

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.📺😃😃

I hope we get Me tv toons here in Baltimore MD

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.

From what I understand, the FCC's Kid Vid rules have been relaxed somewhat.

I'm mad cause it doesn't look like Philadelphia is included with the initial roll out. I wonder how long will we have to wait.

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.

DITTO! SAME HERE! GOOF.

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 says they're not going to die, but how can I believe them when they haven't aired anything decent for some time. At this point, Adult Swim might as well be 24/7 and keep Checkered Past as an early part of their schedule. And the Cartoon Network I grew up watching could try to save itself by starting its own new channel. Then again, who will watch that?

i think you found your calling. keep doing videos about your experiences. maybe add some photos and some background history and such and yeah I think you found your calling my man.

I can't wait to watch MeTV Toons this June. It's perfect replacing qubo after shutdown by 3 years ago

I'm not interested in the marionette shows either but I do find it neat just how varied this network is going to be. Like I think I might have said either on this post or somewhere else about the only company I don't see the mentioning is Filmation. But since it sounds like they will be rotating some stuff who knows sometime in the future we might see He-Man and She-Ra

Hey Goof, first watch, new sub

That's insane they're gonna bring Back some major deep cuts like Inspector Gadget? I'm a 90's kid but I did love seeing that syndicated on Nick when i was young.

The antenna man did an interview with one of the exc from Me TV and he actually did confirmed we actually are going to get Ghostbusters, Police academy another thing that they said which I'm really not that excited about but I know they're probably some people that aren't they said late nights they're going to have some of those marionette shows from like the 60s. The one studio though that I am actually surprised we haven't heard anything about possibly getting is filmation.. which I'm a little disappointed because like you I also grew up in the 80s I'm 44 going to be turning 45 in June and as a kid I loved watching He-Man

Same thing with us in 90s kids

Boomerang is still around yes. Not nearly as many people watch it and they dont have a ton of variety. The channel is not gone though. Its kinda hanging on for now.

There won't anymore cartoon networks now that saturday morning cartoons is dead

I can't wait to watch metv toons is so awesome to see a classic cartoon show And I am so excited to see all my favorite show I go up watching boomerang form back in the day

Im 21. 22 in August and im excited for it

It’s amazing to see the new Cartoon Network coming out thanks to MeTV. The network is much like Cartoon Network and Boomerang combined to follow the golden age Cartoon Network. Most cartoons, and even classic animes like Speed Racer and Voltron. Speaking of which, I wonder if classic animes come from golden age Toonami like the Future Funk fan-favorite Sailor Moon.

So happy it's about time

I'm into cartoons from the 1920's to the 1950's. Cartoon Network is not what it used to be when I was a kid in the 90's. Boomerang wasn't that impressive either. I predict that Cartoon Network will end up being an additional paid service on HBO Max. I wish my area was doing ME TV Cartoons. It sounds very exciting.

I hope the programming is organized according to era and animation studio. I don't care for the random mix ME TV does with the show they have right now.

Does anyone else remember Heckle & Jeckle? If i remember correctly, they use to air wiyh Woody Woodpecker (Walter Lantz). I'd love to see them again.

Saturday mornings 24/7

Boomerang channel is not “dead” it’s just completely different.

If we have streaming ee do not need cable anymore

You know how you said tiny toons animaniacs what about DuckTales and stuff
