My apologies if this has already been asked (and I apologize at an even higher level if it’s already been asked many times in this thread), but I really, really want to know. So what will happen with the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, as far as where they will air on television, and where the...

Ah shoot, didn’t realize someone else had already posted about this. Sorry about that! This thread can be deleted.

From Facebook group A2C Vibes: “Jim Smith has sadly passed away at the age of 70. The storyboard and character design artist on The Ren & Stimpy Show, Samurai Jack, Tiny Toon Adventures, The Looney Tunes Show and more.” RIP to a legend!

Great analysis! Enjoyed reading that.

Great analysis! I agree with you. I wonder if The Brothers Grunt would also be included on that list. It was almost a more adult version of Ren and Stimpy, a program that took the gross out humor to the world of MTV. A lot of people disliked it, but I thought it was quite good. And then of...

I love Ren and Stimpy and Cow and Chicken, and I feel like C&C was the successor to the first one mentioned. I think a lot of voiceovers and animators even carried over. What do you guys think? Was Cow and Chicken the successor to Ren and Stimpy? And if it was, did it live up to expectations...

So though the Boomerang streaming app is a thing of the past, the cable channel lives on. I still have it on Sling. I also really love MeTV Toons. For my fellow animation fans who have both channels, which do you prefer? I think MeTV Toons has indeed surpassed Boomerang. That Bugs Bunny 84th...

So I know the concept of the “dogface” in animation was popular way back. Maybe from the 1920s to the 1940s? And I believe it spread all across, from MGM to Disney to Warner Bros., etc. At what point did the dogface phase out? I’m thinking maybe by the ‘60s it was gone? Because it seems like by...

Which show currently on the MeTV Toons schedule ran the closest to the modern era? Like, I know the Bible Adventures program ran into the early 1990s, but I believe The Mask: The Animated Series ran all the way to 1997. Did anything go later?

I've now got the channel! Jeffersonville, Indiana, right outside of Louisville, Kentucky! Yahoo!!!

I can get 21-1, yup! Thanks for letting me know about that. Sounds like things are still looking good for June 25.

Darn, I'm still not picking anything up on 21-7. I live outside of Louisville, Kentucky, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I hope this doesn't mean I won't be able to pick it up.

Wait, won’t go live on June 25, or won’t go live until June 25?

Can't wait for this network to launch! Anyone else going to be watching in Louisville, Kentucky, or any of the nearby Kentucky/Indiana towns? It's going to be on channel 21.7 over here, which so far has just given me a blank screen. Hopefully when I rescan on June 25 I'II be good to go!

Rise Above by Black Flag is a legendary early ‘80s hardcore punk song. I swear, though, the beginning of the song was in something connected to Cartoon Network or Adult Swim at some point in the late ‘90s. Either a cartoon, a bumper, a commercial, something. Anyone know what might have featured...

Start at about 46 seconds in. Is that like a reference to Cartoon Network overtaking Nickelodeon? A hidden shot? It’s just amazing, the shape of the orange blob, and the color. Could be looking too deep into it, but very interesting…

I remember friends talking about this show in ‘99, but never saw an episode until recently on YouTube. I thought it was really good, artsy, and unique. I guess it was it was several shows within a show. I saw the episode where the woman gets her bath repaired in an upstairs apartments, and the...

HBO Max definitely has a decent roster of Cartoon Network classics, but any idea if there are plans to complete the collection? I think there are a fair bit of Hanna-Barbera classics not on (Hong Kong Phooey, etc.), as well as CN originals (Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, etc.). With all the...

Three years ago Mr. Cody Rhodes joined his Bullet Club/Elite brethren Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, as well as Jacksonville, Florida sports juggernaut Tony Khan, to form what has become an exciting, alternative in mainstream pro wrestling to the WWE. All Elite Wrestling has captured the...

What an incredible film. Definitely tied with Joker '19 for my favorite film within a Batman universe (or a universe that involves Batman, so that we can include Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and Justice League in the competition) since The Dark Knight. I liked Dark Knight Rises quite a bit...

I attended Impact Sacrifice last night in Louisville, really fun show. Tonight I’ll be watching Revolution ‘22 in a local movie theater. Card looks fantastic! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_(2022) Who are your predictions for the show? My predictions: -Hook -Hirsch -House of...

What channels were airing Family Guy around, say, summer '03? I remember watching during my days off from school on...TBS, if I'm not mistaken? But then more reruns maybe would air at night on Adult Swim? Something like that. Hard to remember after 19 years, haha.

Family Guy reruns did so well in ratings that FOX pretty much had no choice but to bring the show back in 2005. But...what if they hadn't? What if the higher-ups at FOX just thought the high ratings in the reruns were a passing phase, and that the show had run its course? How would the animation...

Sad to see it go. :(

I know back in the mid-2000s CNet bought TV Tome and turned it into TV.com, but now TV.com doesn't seem to be loading. Has it been shut down?

The WWE Network is now officially only accessible in Indonesia through Disney Plus Hotstar. With Nick Khan taking over as the second most powerful man in WWE, beating out Shane, Stephanie, Triple H, Bruce, etc., folks are thinking that in the long-term Nick is moving toward a sale, possibly to...

Never realized that. So H-B made Smurfs cartoons in the same way they made Batman cartoons, really...they were commissioned to make them, but never owned the franchise. I didn't realize that until today.

Ah, I see now. Thank you for this info. I need to see this show!

Ah, gotcha! I did not realize that, but that may very well take care of the mystery of how this came to be. Thank you for this info. Fascinating!

I've been out of the loop for a bit as far as active shows on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, but from what I can see it looks like a new Smurfs show is airing on Nickelodeon. Given that Hanna-Barbera owns The Smurfs, which is all under the Turner/Cartoon Network/WarnerMedia umbrella, why...

I guess I missed when this happened - when did the message board change its name from Toonzone Forums to Anime Superhero Forums? And what caused the change? Thanks for any info!

So according to Wikipedia, stand-up comic Brandon Wardell was a TZ Forum member in his youth. I think this guy is super funny. Any idea what his username was back in the day?

What are your thoughts on the current states of AEW and WWE? It seems to me that WWE is having a lot of trouble building new stars. They recently tried putting the WWE Title on Big E and it didn’t work. Other than Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, and Becky Lynch, the...

I recognize: -Kaufman -Rodman -Allin -Glover -Willis -Tiny Tim -Waters Anyone know the other six?

This post-punk/new wave underground song aired on German radio in the fall of 1984 and the Internet and has been on a search since 2006 (but especially since 2019) to find its mysterious name and the name of the band. No one knows the story; it has a million Reddit pages, Wikipedia entries...

Thank you! Definitely an interesting-looking character to say the least.

Any idea what cartoon this is from? Thanks for any info!

After dealing with a pandemic the last year and half, as an historian I’ve begun to also research the HIV/AIDS outbreak, especially its early days of the 1980s. I've always been a fan of the medical field, biology, etc., and recently I came across some of the saddest documentaries I think I've...

General question no doubt, but is it overall harder to use a piece of technology, or build it/develop it in the first place? Thinking of planes and how complex they are in terms of captaining is one thing, but thinking about the individual who drew up the original blueprint is even more...

Anyone a fan of this group? I love their surreal, electronica sound. Really unique stuff.
