After nearly a year, The Flintstones must still be doing well for MeTV. Lately the station has been sponsored in part by Pebbles cereal; they even air one of the contemporary commercials for it sometimes.

Did you know that there was an Empire Carpet commercial featuring [Son of] Svengoolie (among other roles by Rich Koz)?
R.I.P. Anatoliy Prokhorov, co-founder of the Russian animation studio Pilot, which worked on Mike, Lu & Og. He also produced Kikoriki.
Belated R.I.P. to Hal Singer, bandleader, saxophone player and Tulsa race massacre survivor.
This is interesting:
A February 19, 1992 article from The New York Times reported the launch of a cartoon channel from Turner. It was written by NYT regular Bill Carter.
A couple years later, Carter was one of two guests on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode "CHiPs", alongside talk show host Joe Franklin. It was that same year that Carter got The Late Shift published.
Marge Simpson is trending on Twitter. I won't say why, though.
Johnny Bravo (from Cartoon Network, not The Brady Bunch) is trending on Twitter, thanks to someone who sort of resembles him.
Can we talk about how a French home video company had an opening logo consisting of an animated Groucho Marx set to disco music? I especially like the Fender Rhodes solo during the second half, even if it's just the warning message.
R.I.P. Hugh Downs
R.I.P. William S. Sessions, FBI director associated with the phrase "Winners Don't Use Drugs", which was used in arcade games released in the U.S. from 1989 to 2000.

Star Wars gets a day, Andy Griffith gets a month: Visit Mayberry on MeTV - Celebrating The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry's beloved characters
Alternative rock pioneers Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop have some interesting connections with their animation credentials:
Reed and Pop both provided the singing voice of Mok in Rock & Rule, while Arthur and the Invisibles had Bowie as the voice of Emperor Maltazard, with Reed taking over the character for the two sequels; Pop also voiced Prince Darkos in the third film, replacing Jason Bateman from the first.
R.I.P. Eddie Cooley, co-writer of the Little Willie John/Peggy Lee song "Fever"; I recently heard a cover version by Joe Sample and Lalah Hathaway.
R.I.P. Jymie Merritt, bassist for Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers during the late '50s and early '60s, as well as a pioneer of the electric bass.
R.I.P. Tomi DePaola, author and illustrator from my home state, best known for children's books such as Strega Nona.
@RandomMe Have you ever heard of "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience? If not, I think you may want to check it out when you have the time (emphasis on "when you have the time" because it's over 13 minutes long).
I sure did something on Discord today...though it was only seen by two people.
An unpopular opinion: no homage to Cartoon Network is complete without Carrot Top.
Notice how I didn't say it's my unpopular opinion.
What a day...among other things, I bought Rembrandt Films Greatest Hits and the 1990s Speed Racer film (the one with vintage commercials and Colonel Bleep), both on VHS, at two different stores. -

For those of you upset over Steven Universe Future's Emmy loss, let me assure you that Emmys are worthless. David E Kelly, one of the the worst writers I've ever seen, and Murphy Brown, one of the the worst sitcoms I've ever seen, have shelves full of them, and David Lynch and Joss Whedon have none.
I also wish a happy 57th birthday to Dan Povenmire. He's worked on Rocko's Modern Life, Catdog, Family Guy, Hey Arnold, and SpongeBob. He also co-created Phineas And Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law.
I wish a happy 35th birthday to Mairghread Scott. She's worked on many projects like Ultimate Spiderman, Kaijudo, Transformers Rescue Bots, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Marvel Rising, Justice League Action, Wonder Woman Bloodlines, and more.
