The Jetsons Coming to MeTV

Or maybe, they're trying to make it truer to the original 1962 airings, where there weren't title cards of any kind...

that's another possibly

I actually think MeTV's next cartoon acquirement will be Scooby Doo. Popularity and recognition come first. Not many kids of today recognize Animaniacs if it's not the 2020 reboot.

Animaniacs is also a bit after the time of the core demographic for MeTV. This is still a boomer's nostalgia channel first and foremost, and while I know that the series has always had older fans, I don't see it being a fit for the network.

Personally though, while I do understand why many speculate that Scooby will be next, and I can see it, I get the impression that MeTV is focusing on cartoons that aimed a little older since day 1, like the classic theatrical shorts and primetime series such as The Flintstones and The Jetsons. That's why I'd assume that Top Cat and/or Jonny Quest are next.

MeTV does have Saved by the Bell for some reason, which sticks out like a sore thumb in their line-up.

I have been watching some Jetsons at random on Prime (leaves Sunday ). Some of the 60s episodes are really nice remastered prints I assume are taken from the 2019 Blu-Ray release. One episode even has the original Saran wrap and mouthwash commercials! Others however are relatively washed out syndication prints with the 80s intro\outro and title cards. A strange package. Picture quality of the 80s episodes is also variable, although I understand that might be at least partly due to the episodes themselves (some were shot on film, the majority on video).

Perhaps Warner Bros and metv/weigel would do a joint venture to have a Hanna barbera branded block on Sunday mornings or launch a Cartoon Network like channel called metoons
