MeTV Toons First Impressions
Фильм және анимация
Since MeTV Toons has finally launched, I was able to watch the channel for a couple hours on launch day so I could provide my thoughts and opinions on the channel so far and get a first impression. The lineup is spectacular and puts every other current TV schedule on American television to shame. They even managed to outrank Boomerang!
The branding and identity of the channel is a bit minimalistic, but still a step up from Boomerang's repetitive and overly flashy sugar crash branding and gets the job done. The yellow, blue, forest green, and dark red color scheme actually fits a classic cartoon channel much better than overly bright colors. No matter what, I have a feeling MeTV Toons will revolutionize the over-the-air medium and have a great impact!

Wow, there are some negative comments here. Demanding this or that in the line up, demanding different bumpers or something else. Guys, give the channel room to grow and evolve. I am thrilled with the channel. It made my Frndly TV subscrption well worth it. As far as people wishing they had other cartoons-they will expand the line up over time. They have access to a TON of cartoons and will be growing the line up. Just be patient and enjoy the ride!

The channel is incredible. In a time where animation has been taken over by greedy, corporate and soulless out of touch business people, we definitely needed this channel. I think it'll inspire future animators, I hope it's very successful. I can't wait to get it.
Pluto should broadcast the channel. It's perfect for them.
Reminds me of Boomerang. Getting it from the Tampa market but it has not shown up yet in Orlando. The picture quality is outstanding.

I live around Oviedo & I can find the station yet. Oddly enough, I did find a station that was airing Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) for some odd reason.
Its been a long time that i have been excited to watch tv when i get home glad this channel came i feel like a kid excited to watch my favorite shows 😀

I setup an indoor antenna today. Originally only got 4 channels on the first scan without Me TV Toons, but once I moved it a foot to the left I got 19 channels including Me TV Toons. Last scan gave me 26 channels.
Metv Toons feels like something Cartoon Network failed to do with Boomerang.
my affiliate (wlwt) just announced for some stupid reason they flatout just wont air metv toons, even though they literally have a spare channel slot ive been waiting for this all summer and now i know i cant have it because whoever runs my affiliate sucks
It makes sense why there wasn't some big launch celebration as it launched as a work in progress with an incomplete affiliate list and/or places it airs on

Even frndy TV had a glitch, it was suppose to be on the grid to start DVR recordings on the 24th, in many areas it didn't go live till 10 am or later. In South Colorado the feed didn't start till after 3pm, west coast like Washington state it was later. Pretty good line up. Only complaint, the Colorado Springs affiliate of METV decided to hold off getting it at all and kept there 2 hr block of my network TV that been a flop in our area of south Colorado.

Legit hopes this does well to broadcast outside of america, I'd love to watch it locally! From what footage shown here and from what I heard, it's giving me strong early cartoon network and fox kids vibes. Channels I watched so much I could tell you each episode from the shows that were on, to this day! Especially the 4 fun foxkids intermissions where they show you going through a videogame in 1st person to get to the next episode or series; really missed when they put in effort like that! (The minecart one was my favourite, especially when it came on before donkey kong country!)

All I know is having an antenna and also having streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ and etc., are better than cable cause cable cost too much lol.

I got it in my local area. It's nice seeing the classic golden age shorts (Especially since some of the more adult humor is left intact), but they take up a large lot of the prime schedule hours, which may make them burn out very fast. Well, it could be worse, since I remember CN playing Scooby Doo non-stop until I got sick of it much like how they do Teen Titans Go now. Way too many of the things I'd want to watch are either on too late at night, or only once a week. I can't expect to stay up at 1am every night for Speed Racer. Even MTV aired it earlier than that! And the 80's cartoon block will drag on forever with the same shows, considering how many 80's toons had 65 episode minimums. This is frustrating when the 80's were my cartoons and there's a lot of them unaccounted for. I also feel like there is a big missed opportunity on a proper "action cartoon" block. It feels like there are enough shows present to work with that they could do it. (Johnny Quest, Speed Racer, Captain Planet, Ghostbusters, Mr. T, Gobots..) but they seemed to scatter them about or use them on the 80's block instead.
It still isn't available in my area.
I've recorded a lot of stuff but only had time to watch a few things. so far so good. i am watching via frndly, have had 0 problems. after watching this video i have 0 interest trying to goof around wasting my time with an antenna lol. have fun with that.

Even if the lineup's great, I just can't get past the bumpers. I don't care if they "get the job done," they can do better. The ones from CN and Boomerang were so memorable that people still mention them to this day, these do not have that kind of staying power.
