It's funny; back in the day, when I was a kid and MeTV was TV Land, I thought it was just a channel for old people, but this is a goddamn power move. "Oh? Cartoon Network failed its mandate to provide both modern and classic cartoons? Well don't you worry, sonny, Grandad has ya covered!"
I no longer have cable, can't afford it. Is TV LAND still on? I remember they used to show old shows even had "THE TV LAND AWARDS SHOW. I just remember the actor who played Jack Tripper on 3 company was the first host. My cable comp. was slow in picking up TV LAND. As well as Cartoon Network, by time they did all the classic cartoons had Moved to Boomerang and C.N. was the place for cartoons THEY had created. Last time I saw BOOMERANG, it was a dumping ground for the old C.N. created cartoons. 😝
I hope MeTV Toons has a Action cartoon block and that they also get Swat Kats, Centurions, Space Ghost/ Dino Boy, Galaxy Trio, Birdman, Pirates of Dark Water and the Real Adventures of Johnny Quest.
I remember Cartoon Network used to have a cartoon show where they told a bit of history about the shorts before they play them. Would like for something like that to come back.
Streaming has screwed up traditional television viewing so bad, we've looped back all the way around to antenna television getting all-encompassing networks 😅
MeTV is basically like tubi they are just throwing all the old school stuff out there that don't even want it on their streaming services they want to push new content. Which is better for all of us we get our nostalgia for free 😊
So was the Ace Ventura Pet Detective series, but that crossed over with The Mask for a 2-Part Crossover Event: "The Aceman Cometh" and "Have Mask, Will Travel." In the latter, Ace's butt was wearing the Mask of Loki.
Sweet, this is really awesome. Growing up we never had cable so MeTV was my go to channel and shows like Mash, Gilligan's Island, Mama's Family, and all the old superhero shows were what I grew up on. Now that they're starting up a cartoon channel I might have to jump back to MeTV.
I love METV. My favorite part of the channel is the SCIFI SATURDAY block with Svengoolie, Batman, Star Trek, Kojak the night stalker, Lost in Space, and The Time Tunnel. Toon With ME is cool.
Havent heard anyone talk about The nightstalker in decades. I remember the reboot in the early 2000s. It was mid but at least it reminded me of the original
@@JMsolidsnake The original series is absolutely great, fun fact chris carter called Kolchak The Night Stalker a massive influence on the creation of the x files.
My first exposure to Cartoon Network was when I visited my relatives in Atlanta, Georgia. These exact shows were what I remember seeing when I saw Cartoon Network back into the mid 90s. All it needs is Cartoon Planet, G-Force (another dub of Ninja Science Team Gatchaman) Robotech, the Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, and I’ll relive my mid 90s childhood!
Those shoes will probably come later. They're probably just going to wait and see how well this new channel does before they consider getting more classic cartoons like that and more to the block.
There's about a dozen more shows in those squares with yellow backgrounds. They line the website and rotate to different ones. Some of the others not pictured here are Captain Planet, Krypto the Superdog, and Silverhawks. There's also a video interview with MeTV's Vice Chairman where the Ghostbusters news comes from and he lists even more there like Thunderbirds. He also mentions that the first original show will be about Bugs Bunny airing in July on the 70th anniversary during a marathon.

I love the idea of this being a free channel. I really hope it comes to people who don’t have access to just regular MeTV though because showing our new generation these classic gems (like Josie, Top Cat, etc) this makes me happy. I can’t wait to see any of the shows especially Baby Looney Tunes and The Mask but I can’t wait to sit down with my daughters and watch cartoons like Josie and Droopy.
This is a very cool idea! I would love to see He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, She-Ra: Princess of Power, Thunder Cats, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Static Shock, Batman: Beyond, Young Justice, and more!
Not just Thundercats, but ALL the Rankin/Bass Cartoons from WB Discovery like Silverhawks & The Comic Strip that had Karate Kat, Street Frogs, & Tigersharks.
@@vincenttorres9477Real Ghostbusters is one of the Sony cartoons that will be on this channel, so there’s a good chance JCA will be on the network in the future. Though, I believe the reason for Real Ghostbusters to be in there is because DiC made the show.
I have been telling friends for YEARS I miss 1992 cartoon network back when these kind of cartoons were all they showed or at least were prominent! And this just makes me so happy!
1992 Cartoon network was EVERYTHING. Even 93-94 when they started to add original cartoons but still had all the classic stuff. It was still a nice mix.
Bummer about what happened after Showdown. Unfortunately unless they get some big backers again, Showdown was the peak, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Great series.
I caught their cartoon block once and it was AMAZING. Whoever programs that block actually knows cartoons and cares about quality. The Popeye shorts were 100% Fletcher Popeye, none of that Famous Studios era crap. Looney Tunes was LOONEY TUNES, not six Daffy Duck vs. Speedy Gonzales shorts, two Bosko and Honey numbers and one great one. EVERYTHING was the good stuff.
I was literally born at the same time as Cartoon Network, so it was how I was introduced to all the classics. Therefore, I am beyond happy that today’s kids will get to experience the same joy for themselves
It'd be really cool if they could get some of the iconic Rankin-Bass specials to air during the holidays! Probably a pipe dream considering the complicated licensing of the specials but a man can dream lol
The thing thats funny to mee is that boomerang still exist. and it actually has been getting progressively better. For a long time it was just Tom and Jerry and Smurfs. Now theyve actually started adding more scooby doo cartoons, jetsons, flintstones/ flinstones kids, Wacky Races, Jellystone/ Yogi Bear. I really hope MeTV toons has some early 00's shows too. Basically anything that Genndy Tartakovsky made should be on that channel too
I can’t wait for this! Since a lot of my favorite shows these days have been getting canceled and the shows that are airing or streaming now, minus anime shows, aren’t as good or just sucks. I’ve always loved watching old cartoons. Takes me back to the days where they actually put in effort in these shows. Hope I’m able to get it
I’m actually excited for this! I haven’t revisited a lot of these cartoons in a long time and some of them I’ve never actually seen before. It’s refreshing and reassuring to see modern audiences have an interest in classic cartoons. :)
Free channel of 24/7 cartoons?! What a blast from the past! It's like a time capsule of the premier Cartoon Network. I hope they make an action block for after school. Like Toonami. I've got to sit my nephew and niece in front of the TV to watch this channel. Raise them up right.
Honestly This Is The Greatest Thing Since Boomerang that Hanna Barbera Library so many shows I Remember and Don't remember Early 2000's nostalgia kicking In good for MeTV so proud
This makes me very happy, because Toon In with Me shaowed a lot of classic Looney Tunes shorts thay Ive never seen before. Way more than even old school Boomerang did. That is why I love them and to see them do this, well that makes me even happier!! I hope this succeeds and I can't wait to watch!
I'm just as excited as you are about MeTV Toons. Some of those shows took me by surprise. As for what I hope to see, I would love to see some love for the public domain cartoons out there. And since Steamboat Willie has gone public a few months ago... But for what it's worth, Coyote vs. Acme as a MeTV Toons exclusive? THAT would be worth the price of admission.
I've been following the development of MeTV Toons for months, and this station is going to be STACKED. All the right people are involved (it's from Weigel Broadcasting and Warner Bros Discovery is a partner on this channel), they're going deep in the archives and bringing in shows from everybody but Disney (Disney never shares anything with anybody), and they're unearthing a lot of shows that haven't been seen on broadcast TV in decades (some even half a century). This is NOT a children's channel, which shows that this team understands the assignment. Personally speaking, I hope we get a lot of action shows from the past, especially those old Hanna-Barbera Super Adventures shows, the Filmation DC shows, Superfriends, Centurions, Voltron, He-Man, She-Ra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (hey, Paramount owns the '80s show, and they're providing Betty Boop and Terrytoons to the channel, so it could happen!), Batman: The Animated Series, Mighty Max, and Men in Black. I really hope it gets a local affiliate in my part of the world. We need a station like MeTV Toons now more than ever.
3:27 To answer your question the name of this show is Marine Boy. It was dubbed I think by the same people who worked on Speed Racer, Gigantor and even the OG Astro Boy series!
Cartoons that should be added to the list. 1. Animaniacs 2. Tiny Toon Adventures 3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4. Alvin and the Chipmunks 5. He-Man 6. Beetlejuice 7. Captain Planet and the Planeteers 8. Fantastic Max 9. Tasmania 10. Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries
When I heard this, i was excited AF! CAPTAIN PLANET, THE MASK? 2 Shows that I always wished had DVD Complete series additions now back in circulation?! I was already sold! I wouldn't mind if they had a streaming app service so I could binge watch them all!!
This is my childhood being born in 84 and watching cartoons every Saturday morning and in the mornings before heading off to school. I can still remember making a bowl of cereal and sitting in front of the TV watching the best cartoons every Saturday. Me TV Toons reminds me of when Cartoon network and Boomerang launched and we got to see all these classic cartoons all the time until streaming ruined it and Warner bros decided they wanted people to pay a yearly subscription of $40 to watch all these classic cartoons. Hopefully there will be classic cartoon movies shown in primetime and on the weekends.
Well if CN/Boomerang aren't going to do their jobs, it only makes sense that someone's going to fill that void. Ok I was already sold on this by them having Gobots and Xiolin Showdown. But Speed Racer, The Mask and Freakazoid!! Now they're just showing off.
My dad watched network TV a lot, and he would put MeTV on during Saturday mornings, because they air re-runs of Loony Toons like the Saturday Morning Cartoons we all grew up with. This doesn't surprise me at all TBH
If they do a type of history show, i hope it's kinda like the old Toon Heads show on Cartoon Network. they'd give a brief history of the cartoons while playing the cartoon in question. It was really cool hearing about the events behind the cartoons and some of the inspirations too.
Them putting Xiolin Showdown on here fills me with so much hope. Crossing my fingers HARD for Duck Dodgers, Mucha Lucha, Megas XLR, Jackie Chan Adventures , Swat Kats and all the DCAU cartoons!
Im so glad we have this to air. Streaming Services really f'ed up animation lately with removal of most classic shows. This will be a breath of fresh air.
Or… you could just watch it on streaming whenever you want. Watch whatever you want. But LOL at those the old losers here crying that they can’t watch racist cartoons anymore. 🤣🤣🤡
Cool! That trailer takesme back to the first ones for Cartoon Network 32 years ago, like the clip of Yogi saying "We're talking tooni here!" (yet it was two more years before I got a cable service that had it). As CN began adding more and more new stuff, and even Boomerang eventually followed, many of us wished for a new "classic CN" to come up somewhere.
I loved The Real Ghostbusters. That was my favourite cartoon in the 1980's. I hope they don't show that Slimer portion of the Animated Series. In Canada, our network was called TeleToon. I also liked Tales From The Cryptkeeper, Addams' Family, Beetlejuice, Adventures of Tin-Tin, Alvin and the Chipmunks.
@@josephclegg3562 I would be incredibly disappointed if they did not air the vintage episodes of the Ninja Turtles and He-Man. Both cartoons started in the 80's with the TMNT show originally showing for the 1st time in Dec. of 1987 and the Masters of the Universe 1st episode starting on Sept. of 1983.
With Xaolin Showdown being there, I hope they add more classics from KidsWB like Jackie Chan Adventures, Mucha Lucha, Static Shock, Ozzy and Drix, etc.
I wish MeTV was properly carried in Canada. Occasionally, one of the American channels that my cable carries gives up a few hours to MeTV, and it's always a kick.
Here’s the thing though. When Cartoon Network came out I was living with my parents & we didn’t have cable. Same for Boomerang. Now that I’m an adult & I have cable (because where I live doesn’t get OTA reception) I ONCE AGAIN cannot watch the 24/7 cartoon channel 😭. But God bless. We need this!
That's a bummer. Are you sure you don't have the MeTV channels on your cable package? I don't watch them over the air, I watch them on cable. There's the main MeTV channel with Toon in with Me and Svengoolie and the MeTV+ that shows Mod squad.
My childhood years was lucky enough to have Saturday Morning cartoons and every generation up til about 2000 hasn't. At least this generation and going forward with TH-cam can find out what they're missing and talk about the classic animation with their parents and grandparents.
This MeTV Toons channel is AMAZING! Sadly it is not available over the air in my region so I did get it through the streaming service frndly and it is well worth the money for MeTV Toons alone. Although it is a live serve, you can record shows for playback later. Many of these old shows were legitimately funny and even now I find myself laughing out loud watching them plus it was a great way to introduce my teenage daughters to many of these classics and she has been eating it all up. She has even been enjoying shows I did not think she would. To her is all new and it is so difference from the current programing. MeTV Toons is a big win in my book and I hope for their continued success. In addition to the classics I would love to see Visionaries and Spiral Zone. There is just so much that can be done with this channel.
Now that Inspector Gadget is in this new channel, I hope MeTV broadcasts one of The Super Mario Bros Super Shows, it was one of my favorite show on DVD but never seen them on broadcast TV which is my biggest let down as a kid. Mario is my favorite video game franchise so to see everyone else like Pokémon, Sonic, Kirby, Pac-Man & even FZero has its own show & got aired on America’s TV but not Mario was really sad. My guess is that DiC was wanted to get the Mario shows get a rerun but Nintendo is charging too much for their licensing.
Roku has channels dedicated to the Mario and Sonic cartoons from the DiC library on their Roku Guide, a feature found on Roku players and Roku smart TVs...
Andre, chill. You cool as hell homie. Hoping I can meet you at a convention sometime. There are plenty of us out here grown and miss the good old days of entertainment.
I'm 38 and holy crap this is definitely Cartoon Network and Boomerang on steroids. As someone that watched Saturday morning cartoons throughout my childhood and loves the classic cartoons from back then, this is awesome. Cartoon Network and Boomerang has not been the same in a while, But Here Comes me TV toons to the rescue. I will most definitely be checking this out with my young ones.
Xiaolin Showdown does stick out so much in the graphic with with classic cartoon characters from the 20th century. I haven't seen that show since it came out 20 years ago when I was a kid.
I did pick up an antenna for OTA stuff mostly so we could watch the holiday parades and whatnot, and I think we get MeTV with our setup? so I'm hoping that means when MeTV Toons launches we might be able to pick it up as well! definitely excited there's a good chunk of shows in the announcement that I'm looking forward to revisiting, and then the stuff that they haven't mentioned yet, definitely a lot of possibilities there! so definitely keeping an eye on this for whenever they launch!
I love this. Me and my dad used to watch the old Boomerang that featured a ton of Hanna Barbera cartoons. I'm glad I can watch them again sprinkled in with some cartoons when I was a kid
The thing is, Cartoon Network at first probably sounded like a crazy idea by Ted Turner back in the early 90s. Rerunning shows that by then were 10+ years old? No audience... or so they thought. I really feel like this could find a new generation of kids who are just naturally curious or maybe even bored of modernity. Just like when the 90's kids were busy looking backwards.
Hell yeah this is a dream come true! I eagerly await this event. I already love MeTV so this is even more of a treat. Thanks for the update and the info.
I think it'll be broadcast in SD 480i. I hope they transition to HD soon, because even for old content, the HD will allow the channel to broadcast with higher video bitrate, looking better in our tvs than the compression they use for 480i SD.
Boomerang blew it big time when they gave up on their classic toon network. Hooray for MeTV. It's so hard trying to scour TH-cam TV for the truly classic works of art that started in the 1950's. Great News Mr. Nerd!
I'm so excited about this channel! I really missed the days of Boomerang. I would watch that channel like non-stop. I see that Boomerang is trying to go back to classic cartoons, but it's not the same. They only have like a certain amount of shows that they choose to air. I hope they have cool bumpers between shows like Boomerang did. It's great that we are getting something like that again, plus more! I really do hope as well that they put it on Tubi or Pluto. Heck, even it's own app. That would be great. I can't wait for the launch!
Albeit seeing Xiaolin Showdown an original cartoon from the 2000s the 21st century with all of these vintage toons does feel a bit odd out of place but hey I ain't complaining whatever gets me to see my girl Kimiko that's all that matters 👍😉. Even as an almost 18 year old this gives me hopes of joy for our future society with animation and how it's important to acknowledge timeless toons that helped made who we are today 🙏.
I am definitely excited that MeTV is launching this channel. It's definitely long overdue. However, it would be a huge plus if the channel would include cartoons owned by Cookie Jar (formerly known as DIC); there was a mention of both Heathcliff and Inspector Gadget, but other cartoons like Rainbow Brite, Get Along Gang, and Pole Position, just to name a few. Also, some shows from Ruby-Spears, such as Alvin & the Chipmunks, Rubik the Amazing Cube, and Plastic-Man would be awesome add-ons as well.
Yes I would most definitely think they will eventually. Even filmation I hope as well eventually too. Hopefully we can get some Fox kids club shows as well.
The young guy on the dolphin was Marine boy Japanese anime that aired in the early seventies along with speed racer end the original Lion King Kimba the White Lion.
Not to start an argument... The Lion King was _inspired_ by Kimba (and Hamlet), but it's not the same story AT ALL. So many people will claim Disney just copied Kimba, but if they had actually watched Kimba they would know that's not true.
@@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS I grew up on Kimba and I watch the movie that they tried to block called the jungle emperor about kemba and his wife and their two little kids I wonder why that sounds familiar. Maybe you need to watch the jungle emperor because it was started before The Lion King. It had to go on hiatus because the Creator passed.. Disney been the large conglomerate tried to ban it from even being shown at Can festivals you know the independence. Disney has a history of taking things that don't belong to them and branding it as their own.
What an impressive library of classic cartoon content. Wondering if they will get their hands on the 80's Hanna-Barbera cartoons that used to play on Sunday mornings: Super Ted, Fantastic Max, Midnight Patrol? And I would love to see the 1987 block of cartoons from "The Comic Strip" such as Street Frogs, Karate Kat, and Tiger Sharks. And I'm hoping that there are other DiC Entertainment cartoons in addition to Inspector Gadget.
Can we please get Taz Mania on here? You know, that solo Taz Manian Devil show from the 90s? Let’s get even more obscure, uncommon releases in here too. 🤞
@@shimyra18 Currently? For the US? I never discovered that unless it was actually a thing not all too long ago. Boomerang be all over the place. I thought they air all whatever they have all week? But to be fair, I haven’t kept up since they started airing way more early 2000s, even very recent shows.
@@shimyra18 Well thanks for clarifying it’s available to watch somewhere. I know for a long time that show was oddly hard to come by. And I have no idea why Max (HBO) never had it.
Funny part if ME TV on Saturday mornings did thus but for them to make it an entire channel is even better. I would like some MEtv dedicated to just cartoons.
dam yes the Go bots, i hope they show GI joe, Voltron , thunder cats, G force, ghost busters. TMNT. Muppet babies, transformers, robo tech, centurions swat cats , exo squad, etc lol oh and the new adventures of gigantor, the ABC weekend special and CBS story break

Great idea! Those were all shows that helped defined our childhoods back then and still resonate with us today.
I will like them get Original Dragon Ball Z not Kai and Dragon Ball Original Series
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle

1992 Cartoon network was EVERYTHING. Even 93-94 when they started to add original cartoons but still had all the classic stuff. It was still a nice mix.
Nothing wrong with a little Shaolin showdown.
Brooo what a childhood memory unlocked
I take your Shaolin Showdown and raise you an Jackie Chan's Adventures!
Sweet Memories
Bummer about what happened after Showdown. Unfortunately unless they get some big backers again, Showdown was the peak, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Great series.
@@DiarraHarrisand I take those and let two shows lead: The Batman and Chaotic!
I loved regular MeTV already. To see them have an OG Cartoon Network style channel is amazing.
I caught their cartoon block once and it was AMAZING. Whoever programs that block actually knows cartoons and cares about quality. The Popeye shorts were 100% Fletcher Popeye, none of that Famous Studios era crap. Looney Tunes was LOONEY TUNES, not six Daffy Duck vs. Speedy Gonzales shorts, two Bosko and Honey numbers and one great one. EVERYTHING was the good stuff.
Same although the commercials are a bit too long
@@gregory7320 Yeah. I don't watch over-air TV for just that reason. Somebody happened to have it on and I couldn't help being impressed.
I was literally born at the same time as Cartoon Network, so it was how I was introduced to all the classics. Therefore, I am beyond happy that today’s kids will get to experience the same joy for themselves
same bro
Same
Hope they eventually get Bionic 6, Galaxy Rangers, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Mighty Mouse, C.O.P.S, Thundercats, Silver Hawks and Transformers!
MeTV gave me access to so many reruns from the 60s and 70s i was able to watch everything from back then. Luved the channel.
Hallelujah! Any Rankin Bass or Filmation? Even if they don't, this is really good stuff. Bless you MeTv!
It'd be really cool if they could get some of the iconic Rankin-Bass specials to air during the holidays! Probably a pipe dream considering the complicated licensing of the specials but a man can dream lol
There are a lot of Rankin-Bass TV shows that most people haven't heard of.
Loved “The Archies,” “The Groovy Goolies,” and “Sabrina The Teenaged Witch.”
The thing thats funny to mee is that boomerang still exist. and it actually has been getting progressively better. For a long time it was just Tom and Jerry and Smurfs. Now theyve actually started adding more scooby doo cartoons, jetsons, flintstones/ flinstones kids, Wacky Races, Jellystone/ Yogi Bear. I really hope MeTV toons has some early 00's shows too. Basically anything that Genndy Tartakovsky made should be on that channel too
I can’t wait for this! Since a lot of my favorite shows these days have been getting canceled and the shows that are airing or streaming now, minus anime shows, aren’t as good or just sucks. I’ve always loved watching old cartoons. Takes me back to the days where they actually put in effort in these shows. Hope I’m able to get it
I’m actually excited for this! I haven’t revisited a lot of these cartoons in a long time and some of them I’ve never actually seen before. It’s refreshing and reassuring to see modern audiences have an interest in classic cartoons. :)
i agree
Sometimes they have jokes that are outdated but that is part of history.
@@ribbonfly so true
Free channel of 24/7 cartoons?! What a blast from the past!
It's like a time capsule of the premier Cartoon Network. I hope they make an action block for after school. Like Toonami.
I've got to sit my nephew and niece in front of the TV to watch this channel. Raise them up right.
By all means, please do. These are the kinds of shows that our kids and grandkids deserve to really be watching.
Honestly This Is The Greatest Thing Since Boomerang that Hanna Barbera Library so many shows I Remember and Don't remember Early 2000's nostalgia kicking In good for MeTV so proud
I've reached the age that Xiaolin Showdown is considered a "classic" cartoon now.
Same
This makes me very happy, because Toon In with Me shaowed a lot of classic Looney Tunes shorts thay Ive never seen before. Way more than even old school Boomerang did. That is why I love them and to see them do this, well that makes me even happier!! I hope this succeeds and I can't wait to watch!
I'm just as excited as you are about MeTV Toons. Some of those shows took me by surprise.
As for what I hope to see, I would love to see some love for the public domain cartoons out there. And since Steamboat Willie has gone public a few months ago...
But for what it's worth, Coyote vs. Acme as a MeTV Toons exclusive? THAT would be worth the price of admission.
I would love to see Steamboat Willie and other public domain cartoons get shown on METV Toons too. Maybe one day.
I've been following the development of MeTV Toons for months, and this station is going to be STACKED. All the right people are involved (it's from Weigel Broadcasting and Warner Bros Discovery is a partner on this channel), they're going deep in the archives and bringing in shows from everybody but Disney (Disney never shares anything with anybody), and they're unearthing a lot of shows that haven't been seen on broadcast TV in decades (some even half a century). This is NOT a children's channel, which shows that this team understands the assignment. Personally speaking, I hope we get a lot of action shows from the past, especially those old Hanna-Barbera Super Adventures shows, the Filmation DC shows, Superfriends, Centurions, Voltron, He-Man, She-Ra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (hey, Paramount owns the '80s show, and they're providing Betty Boop and Terrytoons to the channel, so it could happen!), Batman: The Animated Series, Mighty Max, and Men in Black. I really hope it gets a local affiliate in my part of the world. We need a station like MeTV Toons now more than ever.
@@jeffharrisTXB nickelodeon owns ninja turtles they cant
I would totally love to see Batman TAS and a lotta other good old 60's and 90's cartoons whoever made MeTV a antenna standing ovation. ❤️👏
and make sure we get some Earthworm Jim in there!
Better than pro wrestling!
So, boomerang 2.0?
Yes
Boomerang done right
3:27 To answer your question the name of this show is Marine Boy. It was dubbed I think by the same people who worked on Speed Racer, Gigantor and even the OG Astro Boy series!
Thank you!!!
@@BlackNerdComedy 😁
Ive been watching me tv lately for classic cartoons
same
@@tbone8612same here. It’s going to be so nice to see the old school cartoons
Cartoons that should be added to the list.
1. Animaniacs
2. Tiny Toon Adventures
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
4. Alvin and the Chipmunks
5. He-Man
6. Beetlejuice
7. Captain Planet and the Planeteers
8. Fantastic Max
9. Tasmania
10. Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries
When I heard this, i was excited AF! CAPTAIN PLANET, THE MASK? 2 Shows that I always wished had DVD Complete series additions now back in circulation?! I was already sold! I wouldn't mind if they had a streaming app service so I could binge watch them all!!
This is my childhood being born in 84 and watching cartoons every Saturday morning and in the mornings before heading off to school. I can still remember making a bowl of cereal and sitting in front of the TV watching the best cartoons every Saturday. Me TV Toons reminds me of when Cartoon network and Boomerang launched and we got to see all these classic cartoons all the time until streaming ruined it and Warner bros decided they wanted people to pay a yearly subscription of $40 to watch all these classic cartoons. Hopefully there will be classic cartoon movies shown in primetime and on the weekends.
This is so cool. MeTv's selection of live action shows (Bonanza, MASH, Batman) is great.
I want them to air the Laugh-A-lympics. I rarely see it on anymore during the actual Olympics.
Well if CN/Boomerang aren't going to do their jobs, it only makes sense that someone's going to fill that void.
Ok I was already sold on this by them having Gobots and Xiolin Showdown. But Speed Racer, The Mask and Freakazoid!! Now they're just showing off.
I’m 37 still watch the classic cartoons & not ashamed to admit it either 😊
My dad watched network TV a lot, and he would put MeTV on during Saturday mornings, because they air re-runs of Loony Toons like the Saturday Morning Cartoons we all grew up with. This doesn't surprise me at all TBH
If they do a type of history show, i hope it's kinda like the old Toon Heads show on Cartoon Network. they'd give a brief history of the cartoons while playing the cartoon in question. It was really cool hearing about the events behind the cartoons and some of the inspirations too.
Considering it's being headed by a historian, it's safe to say it's in production.
Them putting Xiolin Showdown on here fills me with so much hope. Crossing my fingers HARD for Duck Dodgers, Mucha Lucha, Megas XLR, Jackie Chan Adventures , Swat Kats and all the DCAU cartoons!
And the og Teen Titians
A place where I can watch Secret Squirrel, oh happy day. I hope they decide to put this as a live channel on Pluto Tv
Im so glad we have this to air. Streaming Services really f'ed up animation lately with removal of most classic shows. This will be a breath of fresh air.
Okay boomer.
so true
Or… you could just watch it on streaming whenever you want. Watch whatever you want. But LOL at those the old losers here crying that they can’t watch racist cartoons anymore. 🤣🤣🤡
@@AnimeBronx Wow so are you going to pay for all the steaming channels they are on? You sound like such a jerk.
@@AnimeBronx Guys this guy is a rage baiter dont give him attention
Cool! That trailer takesme back to the first ones for Cartoon Network 32 years ago, like the clip of Yogi saying "We're talking tooni here!" (yet it was two more years before I got a cable service that had it). As CN began adding more and more new stuff, and even Boomerang eventually followed, many of us wished for a new "classic CN" to come up somewhere.
"The Real Ghostbusters" have also been licensed to air on MeTV Toons.
I loved The Real Ghostbusters. That was my favourite cartoon in the 1980's. I hope they don't show that Slimer portion of the Animated Series. In Canada, our network was called TeleToon. I also liked Tales From The Cryptkeeper, Addams' Family, Beetlejuice, Adventures of Tin-Tin, Alvin and the Chipmunks.
I hope He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles air on the MeTV Toons Network.
@@josephclegg3562 I would be incredibly disappointed if they did not air the vintage episodes of the Ninja Turtles and He-Man. Both cartoons started in the 80's with the TMNT show originally showing for the 1st time in Dec. of 1987 and the Masters of the Universe 1st episode starting on Sept. of 1983.
With Xaolin Showdown being there, I hope they add more classics from KidsWB like Jackie Chan Adventures, Mucha Lucha, Static Shock, Ozzy and Drix, etc.
Oh, this is truly fantastic. Truly, truly fantastic. My childhood on one wonderful channel. Cannot wait 😃😃
I wish MeTV was properly carried in Canada. Occasionally, one of the American channels that my cable carries gives up a few hours to MeTV, and it's always a kick.
Give me some Action Cartoons and I'm in. Give me back them Thunder Cats, SilverHawks, Comic Strip, He-Man....Let's Gooooo.!!!!!
Here’s the thing though. When Cartoon Network came out I was living with my parents & we didn’t have cable. Same for Boomerang. Now that I’m an adult & I have cable (because where I live doesn’t get OTA reception) I ONCE AGAIN cannot watch the 24/7 cartoon channel 😭.
But God bless. We need this!
That's a bummer. Are you sure you don't have the MeTV channels on your cable package? I don't watch them over the air, I watch them on cable. There's the main MeTV channel with Toon in with Me and Svengoolie and the MeTV+ that shows Mod squad.
My inner 80s 10yr old self is screaming with joy!!
it's insane we're back to this
so true
My childhood years was lucky enough to have Saturday Morning cartoons and every generation up til about 2000 hasn't. At least this generation and going forward with TH-cam can find out what they're missing and talk about the classic animation with their parents and grandparents.
This MeTV Toons channel is AMAZING! Sadly it is not available over the air in my region so I did get it through the streaming service frndly and it is well worth the money for MeTV Toons alone. Although it is a live serve, you can record shows for playback later. Many of these old shows were legitimately funny and even now I find myself laughing out loud watching them plus it was a great way to introduce my teenage daughters to many of these classics and she has been eating it all up. She has even been enjoying shows I did not think she would. To her is all new and it is so difference from the current programing. MeTV Toons is a big win in my book and I hope for their continued success. In addition to the classics I would love to see Visionaries and Spiral Zone. There is just so much that can be done with this channel.
Black Nerd talking about MeTV let's go
Now that Inspector Gadget is in this new channel, I hope MeTV broadcasts one of The Super Mario Bros Super Shows, it was one of my favorite show on DVD but never seen them on broadcast TV which is my biggest let down as a kid. Mario is my favorite video game franchise so to see everyone else like Pokémon, Sonic, Kirby, Pac-Man & even FZero has its own show & got aired on America’s TV but not Mario was really sad. My guess is that DiC was wanted to get the Mario shows get a rerun but Nintendo is charging too much for their licensing.
Roku has channels dedicated to the Mario and Sonic cartoons from the DiC library on their Roku Guide, a feature found on Roku players and Roku smart TVs...
I hope He-Man gets broadcast on this channel
@@Justin-Hill-1987 Roku is kinda mid.
"Denver, The Last Dinosaur" please! Also maybe "Flint, The Time Detective"?
Andre, chill. You cool as hell homie. Hoping I can meet you at a convention sometime. There are plenty of us out here grown and miss the good old days of entertainment.
Bommerang it’s all coming back to you now
I'm 38 and holy crap this is definitely Cartoon Network and Boomerang on steroids. As someone that watched Saturday morning cartoons throughout my childhood and loves the classic cartoons from back then, this is awesome. Cartoon Network and Boomerang has not been the same in a while, But Here Comes me TV toons to the rescue. I will most definitely be checking this out with my young ones.
Xiaolin Showdown does stick out so much in the graphic with with classic cartoon characters from the 20th century. I haven't seen that show since it came out 20 years ago when I was a kid.
I did pick up an antenna for OTA stuff mostly so we could watch the holiday parades and whatnot, and I think we get MeTV with our setup? so I'm hoping that means when MeTV Toons launches we might be able to pick it up as well! definitely excited there's a good chunk of shows in the announcement that I'm looking forward to revisiting, and then the stuff that they haven't mentioned yet, definitely a lot of possibilities there! so definitely keeping an eye on this for whenever they launch!
I love this. Me and my dad used to watch the old Boomerang that featured a ton of Hanna Barbera cartoons. I'm glad I can watch them again sprinkled in with some cartoons when I was a kid
Now they just need to add Tezuka shows like _Astro Boy_ , _Kimba the White Lion_ and _Princess Knight_ . That would be awesome.
It would be funny if they advertised Astro Boy but instead showed Jetter Mars~
The thing is, Cartoon Network at first probably sounded like a crazy idea by Ted Turner back in the early 90s. Rerunning shows that by then were 10+ years old? No audience... or so they thought.
I really feel like this could find a new generation of kids who are just naturally curious or maybe even bored of modernity. Just like when the 90's kids were busy looking backwards.
Turner made a dumb mistake by selling his company to Warner Bros
Tubi app has most of these shows on there.
Hell yeah this is a dream come true! I eagerly await this event. I already love MeTV so this is even more of a treat. Thanks for the update and the info.
Personally i hope shows like Herculoids, Thundar the Barbarian, and maybe even the original Birdman find their way to this new channel.
I think it'll be broadcast in SD 480i. I hope they transition to HD soon, because even for old content, the HD will allow the channel to broadcast with higher video bitrate, looking better in our tvs than the compression they use for 480i SD.
Season 1 of The Mask Animated series was released on DVD back in 2018 by Warner Home Archive. They never released S2 or S3 though.
I have it on Blu-ray.
Boomerang blew it big time when they gave up on their classic toon network. Hooray for MeTV. It's so hard trying to scour TH-cam TV for the truly classic works of art that started in the 1950's. Great News Mr. Nerd!
I'm so excited about this channel! I really missed the days of Boomerang. I would watch that channel like non-stop.
I see that Boomerang is trying to go back to classic cartoons, but it's not the same. They only have like a certain amount of shows that they choose to air.
I hope they have cool bumpers between shows like Boomerang did. It's great that we are getting something like that again, plus more! I really do hope as well that they put it on Tubi or Pluto. Heck, even it's own app. That would be great. I can't wait for the launch!
I freaking love your energy my dude!! Subscribed 😎
If they got Johnny Bravo or Swat Kats on there its over. Sign me up.
Don't think they'll be able to air jb cuz its probably 2 controversial 4 the pan z generation
Albeit seeing
Xiaolin Showdown an original cartoon from the 2000s the 21st century with all of these vintage toons does feel a bit odd out of place but hey I ain't complaining whatever gets me to see my girl Kimiko that's all that matters 👍😉. Even as an almost 18 year old this gives me hopes of joy for our future society with animation and how it's important to acknowledge timeless toons that helped made who we are today 🙏.
I hope to see gargoyles ,mummies alive, silver hawks, lone star, dragon flyand symbiotic titans
I am definitely excited that MeTV is launching this channel. It's definitely long overdue. However, it would be a huge plus if the channel would include cartoons owned by Cookie Jar (formerly known as DIC); there was a mention of both Heathcliff and Inspector Gadget, but other cartoons like Rainbow Brite, Get Along Gang, and Pole Position, just to name a few. Also, some shows from Ruby-Spears, such as Alvin & the Chipmunks, Rubik the Amazing Cube, and Plastic-Man would be awesome add-ons as well.
Yes I would most definitely think they will eventually. Even filmation I hope as well eventually too. Hopefully we can get some Fox kids club shows as well.
The young guy on the dolphin was Marine boy Japanese anime that aired in the early seventies along with speed racer end the original Lion King Kimba the White Lion.
Not to start an argument... The Lion King was _inspired_ by Kimba (and Hamlet), but it's not the same story AT ALL. So many people will claim Disney just copied Kimba, but if they had actually watched Kimba they would know that's not true.
@@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS I grew up on Kimba and I watch the movie that they tried to block called the jungle emperor about kemba and his wife and their two little kids I wonder why that sounds familiar. Maybe you need to watch the jungle emperor because it was started before The Lion King. It had to go on hiatus because the Creator passed.. Disney been the large conglomerate tried to ban it from even being shown at Can festivals you know the independence. Disney has a history of taking things that don't belong to them and branding it as their own.
What an impressive library of classic cartoon content. Wondering if they will get their hands on the 80's Hanna-Barbera cartoons that used to play on Sunday mornings: Super Ted, Fantastic Max, Midnight Patrol? And I would love to see the 1987 block of cartoons from "The Comic Strip" such as Street Frogs, Karate Kat, and Tiger Sharks. And I'm hoping that there are other DiC Entertainment cartoons in addition to Inspector Gadget.
The Real Ghostbusters is also coming to the channel!
I watch MeTV all the time. A all cartoon Me TV channel? Im in toon paradise ✨️🥰
Sweet! Now if only MeTV would work out a deal to be on TH-camTV, I'd be set.
Antenna is free and better. No one uses TH-cam TV
love the channel i just subbed !! Hopefully we get the Bionic SIx !!!
Can we please get Taz Mania on here? You know, that solo Taz Manian Devil show from the 90s? Let’s get even more obscure, uncommon releases in here too. 🤞
They show Taz mania on Saturday nights on boomerang
@@shimyra18 Currently? For the US? I never discovered that unless it was actually a thing not all too long ago. Boomerang be all over the place. I thought they air all whatever they have all week? But to be fair, I haven’t kept up since they started airing way more early 2000s, even very recent shows.
@@MrGamer07100 yep, I watched it last Saturday night.
@@shimyra18 Well thanks for clarifying it’s available to watch somewhere. I know for a long time that show was oddly hard to come by. And I have no idea why Max (HBO) never had it.
Funny part if ME TV on Saturday mornings did thus but for them to make it an entire channel is even better. I would like some MEtv dedicated to just cartoons.
Beetlejuice and The Real Ghostbusters are also gonna be on Me TV Toons
I hope so. Love both cartoons.
They need to bring back: Johnny Bravo, Cow and chicken, Dexter's laboratory, power puff girls, and old school cartoon network.
dam yes the Go bots, i hope they show GI joe, Voltron , thunder cats, G force, ghost busters. TMNT. Muppet babies, transformers, robo tech, centurions swat cats , exo squad, etc lol oh and the new adventures of gigantor, the ABC weekend special and CBS story break
