Greetings, Everyone! I have officially joined BlueSky's airlanes! I'm looking forward to this new & wonderful experience with my fellow wonderful friends/Super SvenPals/Super Tooners/Super MSTies/Super classic film & TV aficionados! Photo from #TraceBeaulieu & #FrankConniff's 2017 Mads in Frederick!
Alongside missing Leila Gorstein & her past characters (Goldie, Boxcar, Dippy, etc.) after her departure from #ToonInWithMe, there are other past segments that I wish they would bring back to the series:
The "viewer mail/art/photo" segments at the end
"Fan-tastic Fridays"/"Super #Tooners" segments

"Fan-tastic Fridays"/"Super #Tooners" segments
After taking a closer look, comparing an earlier #ToonInWithMe and the Me-TV Toons re-broadcast of the recent "Toon In/Hand-Me-Down" edition:
Maybe it's just me, but has #Toony changed a bit?
He's starting to have a slight resemblance to his brief equivalent from the earlier shows, "Tünni."

It's been a long while since I've watched " #ToonInWithMe."
This is from the latenight feed via Me-TV Toons*.
Moments from Harman & Ising's classic mammoth Warner Bros. "Vitaphone/Merrie Melodies" cartoon masterpiece, " #IWishIHadWings" (1932).

Like many, my Father & I are very concerned/worried & outraged.
To all my fellow wonderful friends: Again, in case you are in search of a good friend to talk to, you all are more than welcome to converse with me.
Curse the disgusting/putrid sleazebags known as Drumpf, M***rat & their ilk.

For the record, Tubi currently streams CHARLIE'S ANGELS, FANTASY ISLAND, HART TO HART.
If I was a gambling man, I'd bet they'll disappear from Tubi on Jan 1, or soon thereafter.

Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS, FANTASY ISLAND, HART TO HART and HAWAII 5-O are coming to MeTV in Jan.
As far as I know, only one of these — HAWAII 5-O — is currently on a national network.
All are streaming, but the Sony-owned shows cycle in and out and are rarely in one place for long. So this is good news.

A tale of two NEC CD players:
I got these from different places. One was from a smoker's house, the other was from a dog owner. (Telltale signs)
Somehow their serial numbers are 297 apart, and both have 1987.2.25 stamped on the PCB!
These were probably both bought at the same store 38 years ago.

This CD has a problem spot, or I need to adjust some pots inside the CD player. 🤣 More testing required.
