Now that Cable is almost dead, kids cartoons are starting to come back to Broadcast Networks.

Would a show like the Flintstones that was originally aimed at adults but skewed younger be interpreted by the FCC as a kids or general audience program? I will be curious to see how the FCC respond to Weigel.

MeTV and MeTV Toons have always aired The Flintstones as a General Audience Program. However, The Jetsons they have been airing as a Children's Program.

That's probably because the episodes made in the 80s retooled it into a kids show.

You’re probably right. I remember watching jetsons on MeTV before MeTV Toons existed. On Sunday mornings, it seemed to be treated as standard MeTV programming. But then it aired only the 1960s episodes. Does MeTV Toons also air the 1980s episodes like Boomerang does? Maybe that is causes the show to be considered children’s programming.
