Well, MeTV Toons launched this week. At first I learned it was only freely available to those with antenna TV; no cable or satellite providers have it. But I can still see it via a Frndly TV subscription. And so I decided to make another vlog featuring that vulpine private toon detective Sam Valentino about this cool new animation channel. The foxy gumshoe brings up how it's accessed, along with some neat surprises the channel has given us so far, even a couple newly-restored TV cartoons!

So far I am loving the channel and feeling like a kid waiting to see what's next! Streaming is nice and convenient, but something about just letting the shows run as intended is satisfying.

Nothing will beat that feeling of watching cartoons back in the day, seeing the title card and realizing it’s an episode you’ve never seen.

Two days ago, Boomerang aired “a haunting we will go”, which was the first time they aired a Looney Tunes cartoon starring Speedy Gonzalez in a decade.

@@Princess_-gp3ep This "ban" was just limited to Boomerang and (HBO) Max. Sometimes Warner Bros. wants to keep Speedy Gonzales under wraps, sometimes they don't. It's silly, because Speedy Gonzales is surprisingly very popular with Latin Americans, especially since he's a heroic go-getter.

I got MeTV Toons on WMBP-LD (Telemundo, translator of Fox 10, and Outlaw TV) through 31.4 at the launch day and I loved it. I watch Speed Racer every night and I enjoyed. I wish MeTV Toons would bring in a little more anime. I watch that channel more all day. I am hoping we get more cartoons on MeTV Toons. Also, The DiC logo is kept in Captain Planet because WildBrain doesn't own it, Warner Bros does.

Amazing how DIC would go though multiple name changes from Cinar to Cookie Jar, to DHX, and Wild Brain. That's more name changes than when Hanna-Barbera folded into Warner Bros. Animation, and spun off Cartoon Network Studios.

I have MeTv Toons and it looks pretty great. Its cool that it came back with old retro style cartoons to relieve some nostalgia. It has many cartoons to air almost all day like most channels with cartoons that had shut down before sadly (I think one of them was teletoon retro.)

I'm very thankful for Sam's thoughts to respect about the MeTV Toons channel. Regards adult informercials, Adult Swim expressed the exact demographic ads over the years while they currently show classic exclusives from the past CN history like Dexter's Lab on Checkered Past Weekdays and Sailor Moon on Toonami Rewind Fridays under variety direction of Michael Ouweleen of classic Boomerang bumper fame.

They do have the 'Super Marianation' shows from Garry Anderson. Though, you do bring up an interesting debate on what live action content can air on MeTV Toons. 'The Banana Splits' did show cartoons during their show, so that's fine, but the rest is kinda up in the air, but it could be worse.

If Wacky Races and Captain Planet got new HD remasters appearing exclusively on this channel, then I hope that someday, the Harveytoons shorts will get the same treatment. So far, at least from what I've seen anyway, they're mostly using the edited prints used in the Harveytoons Show, but what I wouldn't give to someday see fully restored theatrical prints of the shorts live on this channel someday, particularly the Herman and Katnip, and Modern Madcap shorts.

This was a good thing for me, mostly. Although, at times I DO find myself bored from time to time. Still, as for Wacky Races, I easily remember renting an NES Game based on it, ONCE! it had sets of three levels, one of which was based on the "Dastardly & Muttley and Their Flying Machines" Series. The bosses were each of the Wacky Racers, and you'd play as Muttley with the ability to bite and fly with his tail. Typical NES Platformer actions, you know. As for "Histeria," I DID enjoy a nice laugh out of that 'Thomas Crapper" segment with Mr. Smartypants. Even posted that little fun fact over on X with #Histeria.

Broadcast TV would still be viable if they didn't air so much local news, tabloid talk shows, infomercials, and reality shows. And cable channels keep devolving into huge shells of their former selves chasing after the 'MODERN AUDIENCES', and continue to push 'THE MESSAGE'. Also, having to pay for A streaming service to get MeTV Toons is kind of A jip when you get right down to it, but if Weigle can launch A 'free streaming' version of the channel, I'm willing to go that route if I have to. As for WB's restorations of Hanna-Barbera classics, I hope they eventually get to 'Quick Draw McGraw' because his show REALLY needs an HD restoration much like 'Wacky Races'. Also, if 'Inspector Gadget' get's an HD restoration, that would be interesting to see, and If that happens, I hope they include the original DIC logo with Gadget dotting the I with his gadget hammer.

Least you were able to get it through Frndly... Most if not, all of Montana doesn't have MeTV. And MeTV's a really popular channel for the digital antenna era of TV. The MeTV networks is like TV Land where they played all the retro live action channels. Me TV Toons is like retro Boomerang but I do miss the bumpers where it's all of the original toys in the bumpers. One other thing I wish they could do to make the channel a bit fun.... have a Boomeraction like block to make it feel all kick-@$$ if you know what I mean.

Speed Racer is officially on the air, for the first time in about two decades (the show hopped around quite a few channels, including MTV, Cartoon Network, and the Speed Network at one point) Which show currently on the MeTV Toons schedule ran the closet to the modern era? I know The Greatest Adventure: Stories From the Bible program ran into the early 1990's, but I believe The Mask: Animated Series ran all the way to 1997. Did anything go later?
