It feels so weird seeing people talk about MeTV in the year 2024 since I grew up with it almost always on. When I'd spend the day with my grandparents and Noggin went off the air for the night or I was busy playing outside, they always put on MeTV. They're practically carrying Television at this point and still go out of their way to make neat bumpers for their shows. They know their audience and cater to them well, (at least according to my grandparents who have been watching MeTV since its launch.) My grandparents watched Boomerang a lot when they realized CN moved the old cartoons to their boomerang block, so I imagine they're pretty stoked about this since they're fans of cartoons.

Have one day All Hanna Barbera 6. Have one day all WB 7. One day every other non-WB and HB 8. One day all 1930s and 40s 9. One day all 1950s and 60s 10. One day all 1970s and 80s 11.

It is a shame and sad to see how not just cartoons but also animated movies had regressed so much over the years along with just tv in general compared to the tv i used to watch as a kid. Back then you had so much variety like "i'm naming these on top of my head from what i can remember" Freakazoid, Thundercats, Yogi Bear, Twinkle "or Rayito" as we called it here, Widget, Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, Where in the world is Carmen San Diego, Inspector Gadget, Bobby's World, The Jetsons, Flinstones ect. When it comes to animated movies there was a charm to them that hasn't been replicated ever since like with The Iron Giant, Atlantis, Anastasia, Hercules, Beauty & The Beast, Emperor's Groove, Road to El Dorado and so on and the way it was presented was so unique from one another and had so much personality to it. Nowadays cartoons have become just reruns after reruns and the artstyle is just more of the same with barely any noticeable changes and it's not surprising in the slightest as to why Cartoon Network has been on a downward spiral, then again it's been for years once they got rid of the variety that it once had back in the 90's to early 2000's it's not even worth watching TV in general anymore.

I’m unsure about Boomerang is still around in the U.S. except I know it exists as a streaming service. In Canada, both Cartoon Network and Boomerang still exist. However, both channels run basically the same programming, just at at different times. Canada desperately needs MeTV Toons as there is absolutely NO classic animation older than 1990 on Canadian TV or streaming services. Even apps like Tubi and Pluto that offer some classic cartoons in the U.S., all of it is missing from the Canadian versions of these platforms. Seeing the lineup MeTV Toons is going to off has me in tears knowing I won’t be able to get it. 😭😢😔😞

I agree, to hell with Rebecca Sugar. Life has been bad since the 2008 election. That's when I felt the great giants Nick, Disney, and CN went into the gutter. At the time I was going through personal emotional turmoil and seeing entertainment die overnight didn't help to get me through it.

Alot of channels haven't had much good content in years. The main thing cable is good for is live sports anymore. Nothing has all live sports you want to watch in one place.
