MeTV Toons First Impressions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- 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!
Yeah, way too many people are impatient, entitled, and impatient that are demanding the channel to be added to their cable provider. Besides, the channel literally just launched!
There's this one guy on RUclips endlessly cursing in his videos expressing how overly sour he is about not getting MeTV Toons, and he's even saying he has bad luck with everything in his *life* after not getting the channel.
@@annamorearchives Makes sense. I am sure that's why Weigel Broadcasting never bought any affiliates in is area. Because screw that guy.
Frndly tv toons blog comfrimed many upcoming shows
I saw an ad for one of the low cost streaming apps saying they were adding this channel for no extra charge. There was a surprising number of people in the comments that were mad because they didn't offer sports like every other similar app.
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.
MeTV Toons is basically this generations' equivalent to 90's Cartoon Network
Pluto should broadcast the channel. It's perfect for them.
It would have a much more simplified lineup though
The totally animated 80s block airs late Saturday night,not Sunday!
...Which goes into Sunday
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.
Wait what channel was airing Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM? ThisTV?
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews (use the antenna/cable) channel IP - 609 (Sonic Underground) is currently playing
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 😀
Good to hear!
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 should make a block full of classic superhero cartoons
They have to pick up the superfriends vs the legion of doom......that's must see tv all the way
*Apparently getting MeTV Toons is still too much to ask my luck. Apparently getting to watch vault cartoons on broadcast television for the first time is still too much to even ask Frndly TV.*
Damn that sucks
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews It sure does.
@annabellmorrison2627 Hey be glad you have a working TV!
This is what Cartoon Network used to be like.😅
really hoping to get an annetnna
Immediately my favorite channel.....josie and the pussycats is a cartoon i haven't seen in 45 years.............
Metv toons should have a "coming up next", "you're watching" and "we're back" bumpers inspired by boomerang and cartoon network powerhouse
I have to agree with you, since the bumpers they use are a bit too simplistic
Actually, they had a launch party over on the regular MeTV channel during the morning broadcast of toon in with me they even interviewed Neal Sabin
Too bad the station I use interrupted Toon in with me with the news
@@Toonthegoob-hd6jq sorry to hear that
Sucks that I missed it, hopefully someone out there recorded it.
i liked it. some of those infomercials remind me of summers in the very early 2010s at my grandmas house watching nickelodeon.
I don't mind the infomercials since they are kind of a throwback and there are ao few commercials on the channel to begin with
Metv Toons feels like something Cartoon Network failed to do with Boomerang.
Boomerang was good for its first 15 years, before it basically became a US version of Cartoon Network Too
In Tucson, AZ is being carry on the most powerful station.
Lucky
I heard you talk about glitching you probably already know this but try sticking the antenna to the wall with it facing the window that has helped me a lot and MeTV tunes just popped up on my TV after I did a channel scan today before it had not came in for like a week
I tried, and it didn't work since the window in my room faces away from the transmitter. Also the metal in the walls is possibly interfering with the signal.
I absolutely love it! Thanks MeTV.
MeTV Toons will be cool with The Hubley Studio, SuperTed, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Paddington Bear,
I like MeTV Toons cause the moment I watched The Flintstones it was like taking me back to my childhood to watch my favorite cartoons 🙂
Let's go meet The Flintstones
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.
@@sf-dn8rhyeah, I used Frindly to get it and it wasn’t there.
Kind of makes sense, since not many people would be able to watch it
Idk why a channel like this can’t come to Canada
It hasn’t expanded that far yet it’s only in the states right now
Weigel doesn't operate outside of the United States.
Use Frndly or Philo, or get a satellite dish.
Because There’s No MeTV Canada
Does Philo or Frndly work in Canada? I9f not, VPN is your friend.
Bob Bergen is the voiceover for metv toons and cartoon college bumpers. And he played porky pig
Yep I know
Welp, R.I.P boomerang :(
I wonder how much longer they have
I’m enjoying this channel since the day it aired. My whole family has watched it since day one. I can guarantee that this channel will last for several years without a doubt. I especially enjoy watching Casper and company, rocky and bullwinkle, the mask, beetlejuice, and Mr Magoo.
What about Popeye?
All my favorites
Same here!
The problem is that no one are paying attention to the Steven Spielberg Warner Bros and Amblin Entertainment collaborated animated series of the 90's. Sure Tiny Toons has a reboot which airs on Cartoon Network and on HBO Max and that Animaniacs had a reboot on Hulu, the ORIGINAL Tiny Toons and Animaniacs shows didn't air on TV for the last 9 or 8 years since Cartoonito, the Hub and Teletoon Retro all stopped airing them. Either this channel or Boomerang or both should bring back them to broadcast television
I agree with you!
I have been busy with work too much I can't wait to tune in tonight with the family and my brother!
I hope you enjoy it!
@@ArtieRaccoonReviewsRaccoon I like MeTV Toons cause it brings me back to my childhood
Glad someone's enjoying the new network, because I still haven't gotten it since on Xfinity Comcast.....
5:16 Update: It turns out that the episodes do mostly air in order, but the guide on Philo says the wrong episodes. I feel bad for spreading misinformation.
Oh it's alright
Captain Planet? Police Acandemy? The Real Ghostbusters? Ok.
Dude you spelled academy wrong
Acandemy
Are these all 80s cartoons?
@@ChineseRussianMoviesOf course they are don't be ridiculous
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!)
I've seen many people from Canada, Latin America, and the UK commenting that they want MeTV Toons to come to their country. Sadly Weigel, owner of the channel, has no operations outside the US
Im going to always have my TV on MeTV Toons. However, I would kinda like it if they had more commercials during breaks, but it's whatever!!
Honestly I can live with less commercials, it's like heaven on Earth!
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews For me, a channel without commercials feels like I'm watching one of those FAST channels!
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
Why not?
@@ArtieRaccoonReviewsseemingly no reason.
they claimed they have the space for it but still said they wont.
unless they change their mind, or somehow a different affiliate in my area picks it up, im gonna have to rely on frndly
Me-TV Toons are available now on Philo
Metv toons is in Miami on WBFS 33-7, But hasn't aired yet.
According to the website, the channel will be coming to my market OTA on July 9th. It’s gonna be on a low power station, but luckily I get it and reception is good.
Also even my state’s biggest city doesn’t have it.
I have DirecTV stream Yes please keep us updated when they come to digital broadcasting
Am hoping Hulu, or other streaming services get the rights to broadcast that channel, if said services have live TV packages.
Frndly tv has it , along with the other two METV Channels
FrndlyTV and Philo currently are the only places sorta like that that are broadcasting the channel
for me I use FrndlyTV cause it's far cheaper then Philo, which is at 26 dollars a month.
It's available on frndly TV service.
The channel is just Cartoon Network 1992 all over again
And Boomerang back in the 2000’s essentially.
Not necessarily a bad thing, given how at one point Cartoon Network itself became a massive Teen Titans loophole. As long as they rotate their content on the regular, im fine with it.
And that's a bad thing, how exactly?
@@rockoorbe2002they are supposed to be rotating content.
I got it on Frndly ( i hope Frndly keeps it) so it's good and I still love boomerang tbh... 🙂
It needs an app
I hope Comcast gets it soon :(
I hope so too
Hope my market gets it soon. I live in a major area and get everything else.
Will I subscribe to get it? No, I have enough paid streaming already, but I have a good antenna setup and OTA DVR so you betcha I'm picking it up OTA once I can.
I wish you the best!
I wish they had the toy animation like boomerang did
They need more lively bumpers. Not trying to put down MeTV Toons and what they are doing is amazing, but the bumpers are kind of barebones
The modern commercials take me out of the moments
What about those Billy Mays infomercials that are over a decade old?
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.
To make matters worse, Ed Grimley only has 13 episodes lol
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews Ed Grimley's 13 episodes vs. The Real Ghostbusters' 140 (not counting spinoffs)! It would take 3 years to get through Real Ghostbusters if you watched only 1 episode a weekend. Ed Grimley would rerun 9 times in that duration!
Has MeTV Toons truly planned things out for 3 years in? Or will they move Ghostbusters into a weekday slot at some point?
What would they end up doing with other shows with triple-digit episode counts?
No idea, rotation could be better
Me TV Toons in Denver Colorado, is on channel 3.8. Yes, 8 channels on that one!!!
I currently do not have a TV in my home at the moment. I'll be waiting for it to show up on either Samsung TV+ or Pluto TV
@@TrentonMatthews Have you seen MeTV Toons on that channel? Some people have said they don’t pick up that channel.
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.
I have an antenna hooked up to a Tablo DVR.
I just ended up getting Frndly TV
Not in my location
Not in my country
@@gryficowa VPN
Not in my area either. I'm from Atlanta GA (Xfinity). @@gryficowa
METV: don't have a big celebration if your channel is not ready!!! I live in Spokane, Washington and don't get the channel yet.
They really could've planned ahead a lot better...
I hope my area can pick up a free over-the-air channel soon
I hope so
@ArtieRacoonReviews do you think they will make it drm encrypted in some markets
It's a possibility that I'm worried about
1:18 Movies!, MeTV+ and Story Television don’t crop shows and movies to 14:9, also you said 16:9 instead of 14:9.
0:29 What method did you use?
The user interface in this picture reminds me of the Roku Channel app.
Roku TV Guide
The Rubberhose Era isn't a real thing. Rubberhose just means when something moves like rubber.
Hope your antenna signal improves for MeTV Toons!
WWDP needs to move to channel 36 sooner or later
i hope metv toons well eventually come to youtube tv
I can’t even get MeTv Toons and I have an antenna too, I don’t think it’ll be available where I live at all. I’m not surprised though cause where I live here in Arkansas I don’t get many channels on my antenna anyway, some of them got taken away for some reason idk why though. 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.
Just start pirating things, the law isn't even enforced that much
It’s gonna take until July 9th to get this channel for my area.
Almost there...
@@ArtieRaccoonReviewswell turns out they switched the date last minute, it’s now on july 19th
I hope it’s coming to Comcast since they have both channels

@@horrormovie100 true
Nicktoons already exists. Lol. It's basically 24/7 SpongeBob.
So you in Massachusetts I couldn't even get the channel no antenna and I never heard of it before it 70 miles away so, I got app for free for now
If you live 70 miles away from WWDP's transmitter, there's no way you'll be able to pick up the channel through antenna
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews I figured that , only Boston somewhat and ri
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews it 45 miles
Old guy here, 21-22 hours of trash. When cartoons started becoming ugly drawings with older discussions. I expected at least an hour or so of Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, old DC or Marvel cartoons, etc…. Instead, Inspector Gadget, Ghost busters, Alf, etc…. All bovine waste
That's only the early morning hours
Our Detroit station that carries METV dies not carry METV+ or METV Toons. I do subscribe to Frndly, so I get all three channels. RUclips TV, which we also sub to does not carry any of the METV channels. I have a Tablo, but without our local affiliate on board, that's not an option.
And on Sundays, both Scooby doo and the Flintstones will air specials and movies
Hope MeTV toons expands to other ways to broadcast. Otherwise the premier feels like a middle finger to cartoon fans.
It's available through a few streaming apps as well.
They really could've planned ahead a lot better. It's not available on any cable providers and only on select MeTV affiliates.
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews it might have been more trouble then it's worth. For example when the WWE started their own streaming service some of the cable companies tried refusing to carry their monthly pay per view if they didn't shut their app down.
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.
I agree with you, they need better bumpers
Sucks I don't have it my area and not paying for an app when this channel is free for most. I wish Me Tv would just make an app that we can stream their channels. Even if was like 1.99 a month. But like Philo wants like 9.99 a month to be able to watch Me TV. Or maybe freeve one day can add these channels.
Haven't seen it here where I live jax, fla
I can't even get Metv with my antenna, so I was really hoping Metv Toons would go to Spectrum but it didn't. Also I don't want to pay $8.00 for Friendly tv just to get 1 channel. 😡
4:54 Do you actually hate Police Academy, like it, or are neutral over it?
Neutral since I haven't really seen it
will it ever come to Europe?
I doubt it. Weigel Broadcasting, the owner of MeTV and MeTV Toons has no operations outside of the US. Don't you guys have Boomerang?
I’m not watching it until they put on banana splits
Not on xfinity AT&T direct tv dish
The scheduling is still off. Good programs available, but they still need to iron out the kinks.
I agree
It’s what Cartoon Network used to be.
Checkerboard era!
Wait, will MeTV Toons add "Bobby's World" in the future? I hope not.
I have no idea, as the show was originally produced for FOX Kids.
Well, I'm afraid they might show it in the future. Many of the programs that aired on FOX Kids, their rights have now expired.
Metv toons tune got that cartoon network groovies vibes
I miss those...
Unfortunately we don't have it here in Baltimore Maryland.
You could always try neighboring Washington DC.
What about Mount Airy?
I don’T get why it’s only on satellite. It should be on every station
They need to add the channel to more cable providers
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews I agree
Frndly tv had confirmed a lot of upcoming shows on their metv toons blog!
Such as?
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews Pink panther, Alvin and the chipmucks, Thundercats, Felix the cat and more
I thought it would air Animaniacs?
Not yet
It wouldn't hurt if they made a metv app sense i dont watch tv
Sucks big time with streaming crap and no over the air ....what a disappointment
It is available over the air
@@josephfrechette9916 not in my area
@@witzelasper2821 I'm sorry. When I responded I thought you were saying it's a shame they didn't have an OTA channel.
although comercial shows wait till your father gets home.... it s not schedueled ?...
It's airing Sundays at 11:30 PM, I have no idea what you're talking about
Wait is me TV toons available in Menifee
No idea
It still isn't available in my area.
Now it is available in my area.
My affiliate, KJYY-LD, for some reason didn't carry it the first day. Don't know why, maybe it was technical difficulties on their end? (because I know it wasn't my fault since I was able to get their other subchannels) Anyways, the next day I did one more channel rescan and they were finally carrying it.
Side note: Why are the majority of affiliates the low-powered channels? Are the big companies like Nexstar just not a big fan of classic cartoons or what?
General MeTV is on WKRG 5.3 and WKRG and WFNA are owned by Nexstar.
Nexstar and Sinclair are anti-animation and they support the lame Litton blocks literally nobody cares about.
Me tv toons not showing in Texas why
No affiliates?
Too heavy on the Flintstones and Bugs Bunny. All the shows I'd wanna watch are on when I'm at work or asleep..
You could DVR the shows
@@ArtieRaccoonReviews Yeah, if I had one
Xfinity should get it since they have the other two metv channels.
Funny, I have Xfinity in Atlanta and I only get just MeTv and not their sister station. I'm already pissed for Xfinity not getting METV Toons on the day it was launched. I just have to wait until whenever and hope Xfinity will pick it up by December.😢
@@lee120458 I am in Maryland and get metv and metv+
Not Really impressed,,, Its ok if you like POPEYE and the Flintstones,, I was hoping for Rocky and Bullwinkle,, its on , but at times im asleep, Big Thumbs down
Gotta stay awake then!
DVR it.
What anna are you useing
A clearstream max antenna
I'm not get it
I don't like that. It it's shown in widescreen cause of my vision, but II can watch It on frndly T. V, so I'm very happy about that.
How come?

Probably not, it’s a cartoon channel.
Adding live action to a channel that has toons in its name, thats such a wonderful idea......NOT
Let's not enter the CN Era dark age this early into the channel's run XD, that shouldn't be for another 16 years at least.
