MeTV Launching Toon in with Me

[Moe]

Obviously it will, they have to fulfill the E/I quota somehow

I'm all for repeal the E/I requirement and all forms of children's programming are acceptable, even if they have no educational value.

Most kids use phone and tablet to access to educational materials so they don't care about TV anymore.

MeTV cartoons coming January 2nd. And forgive me for thinking that MeTV stole the cartoons.

Yay! That's awesome. Where did you hear that?

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

I saw the screenbug. Did you see it too?

 

[aegisrawks]

Umm... what?

Since when did they have a screenbug for it?

 

[aegisrawks]

I am not the one you should be asking. But yeah! Saw the screenbug on FACEBOOK! AWESOME!

I wish that Hulu Live add MeTV so my area is awful to receive OTA channel.

MeTV posted an article about the Toon in with Me block. Looney Tunes, Popeye & Tom and Jerry will be featured, with more news about even more titles to air in the coming weeks and months.

 

[aegisrawks]

There is a little promo on the MeTV website! Awesome!

Aren't the Hanna-Barbera 1960's shorts with Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Hokey Wolf, Snagglepuss, Augie Doggie, Magilla Gorilla, and others Warner Bros. property nowadays?

 

[dth1971]

Wonderful news.

Hey Cozi TV, now's your chance to finally bring wipe the dust off of those Walter Lantz, Felix the Cat, and Harveytoons cartoons.

If Universal/Comcast, owners of Cozi TV and the Walter Lantz and Harveytoon library, they could reboot the PB&J subchannel and even show the Filmation and Jay Ward library it owns.

Really I miss the old cartoons. That I used to grow up with as a kid of the 1980's. Getting up with my siblings in the mornings on Saturday! Wished my nephews now in their early to late 20 had that growing up along with children of their own. Sad!

Yes, but Me is probably focused on the library of WB-owned theatrical cartoons that they have termed the greatest ever made.

Yes, but Me is probably focused on the library of WB-owned theatrical cartoons that they have termed the greatest ever made.

But for the Tom and Jerry cartoons, Me TV won't show the 1970's-2000's T&J TV shorts (The 1975 Hanna-Barbera incarnation, the 1980 Filmation incarnation, the early 1990's Tom and Jerry Kids, and the 2006 Tom and Jerry Tales). Same for the Popeye TV shorts (early 1960's versions and the 1978-1982 Hanna-Barbera version).

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

You mean it will be airing the shorts the same way Acme Hour airs them on Cartoon Network?

 

[Looney Turtles]

I wonder if they will show any Speedy Gonzales cartoons. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Even the HBO Max app only has one Speedy short so far.

 

[ElectricAngel]

Schedules are up for January 2nd and we know all the cartoons they'll be showing.

There's also something called MeTV's Cartoon Kick Off Show.

I wonder if this is just bonuses thrown at prime time or if we're getting any hosts? Can't seem to find any info about it online.

Edit: Kick Off Show is also playing Jan 1st.
