MeTV Toons - Network TALKBACK & Discussion Thread

[Tacomaster]

Can someone tell me when they finally air The Fear.

that doesn't come around until the VERY end of the series, in 1985. We're still on 1978

I know, but I wanna say it before it does so it wont pass me by.

Maybe in 2 months, we'll know about Animation Antiques. I'm hoping that block might come to MeTV Toons and I'm hoping that block will air late Mon-Fri for 2 hours (3am-5am).

Incidentally, is it just me, or does The Cheetah act more like The Catwoman in this show?...

It's not that surprising, as the people behind Superfriends really wanted to use numerous Batman villains for the series, but were unable to do so due to Filmation producing their own Batman series around the same time (with some Legion of Doom member choices being inspired by the Bat-Villains they couldn't use).

I wonder if MeTV Toons has any plans to air A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Come Home Snoopy anytime this holiday? I mean, the main MeTV airs them, so why not also MeTV Toons?

That's true. In Challenge of the Super Friends, Cheetah was supposed to be Catwoman. The Riddler was supposed to be the Joker. Captain Cold was supposed to be Mr. Freeze. In fact , Lex Luthor was originally going to be Dr. Sivana, Shazam's nemesis, but again, H-B couldn't use him due to Filmation having a live action Shazam series running on CBS that same season.

That should be “Snoopy Come Home”, actually.

Do Weigel networks make schedule changes in every quarter?

 

[Tommypezmaster]

Had MeTVToons aired the Warner Brothers short, Fresh Hare? If so, which version of the ending did they air?

 

[SaturnReturn]

Nope, they've avoided playing that one entirely. They don't tend to edit cartoons much so shorts with bits like that short's infamous ending tend to just be skipped.

Nope. Jerry Beck on an interview mentioned that short for all intents and purposes is banned

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

After they air the last episode of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, are they going to start over with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!?

 

[RoyalRubble]

It seems Scooby Mystery Inc. will air in December.

 

[LooneyTunesFan3]

It seems Scooby Mystery Inc. will air in December.

Maybe The Looney Tunes Show (2011) will follow up next year?

 

[Mandouga]

Just saying, but this sounds like rumor/speculation to me, especially since it comes from an unaffiliated, third party source. Remember when there was a Twitter (not calling it “X”) post that claimed MeTV Toons was partnering with Retro Crush for classic anime? I think we should hear it from Weigel Broadcasting themselves, especially since Mystery Incorporated is kind of…you know, recent for this network…

Well Mystery Incorporated is listed on Metv Toons website so it makes sense that it would show up eventually.

On that note, would classic anime even WORK on MeTV Toons? I know they already have Speed Racer and Marine Boy, but outside of maybe OG Astro Boy and Gigantor, it really wouldn't fit. Besides, if you want classic anime, Adult Swim's got you covered with Toonami Rewind!

Yes, more or less. There will be lineup changes for Christmas and after Christmas.

Expect to see holiday themed like New Years, Valentine, Easter, Halloween, July 4th, Thanksgivings and Christmas.

After they air the last episode of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, are they going to start over with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!?

Don't know - you would have to wait and find out. Schedule don't show anything right now.

Maybe The Looney Tunes Show (2011) will follow up next year?

Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated is going to aired on slotted Scooby Doo special every Sunday, so there is no slotted special for Looney Tunes. MeTV Toons only got two slotted special - Flintstones and Scooby-Doo right now.

We are likely to see Baby Looney Tunes first on MeTV Toons when lineup changes next year.

I wonder if MeTV Toons has any plans to air A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Come Home Snoopy anytime this holiday? I mean, the main MeTV airs them, so why not also MeTV Toons?

Don't know, Weigel would have to say if they plan to air on MeTV Toons.

Gatchaman or Battle Of The Planets could work extremely well for the channel.
