Figured I'd chime in on my two cents in regard to MeTV Toons.
First off, I don't know if they'll have it in my neck of the woods yet, though it might be because of a rather unusual situation that happened recently. The My TV affiliate where I am recently decided to dump The Grio and put Catchy Comedy in its place, which means there are now two channels in my area that have Catchy Comedy. I don't think this will last long and perhaps they're biding their time until MeTV Toons officially launches on June 25.
What I would like to see on there are perhaps some themed blocks a/la/Catchy Comedy and Decades. Maybe have a block of action/adventure shows like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (which MeTV had aired back in the day), She-Ra: Princess of Power, ThunderCats and SilverHawks. There could be another block for old school anime like Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Gigantor, Star Blazers and Robotech. Perhaps they could also have weekend binges like Catchy Comedy recently did with Looney Tunes. If they don't go the weekend binge route perhaps they could devote either Saturday night or Sunday night to a full-length animated movie a/la/Svengoolie. What would really please me is perhaps show an anime movie like Vampire Hunter D and Project A-ko like the Sci-Fi Channel (I REFUSE to use their stupid current name SyFy) did on Saturday mornings back in the 1990s and early 2000s.
These are going to be rather interesting times for old school animation fans, that's for sure.
