Ha! That's "funtastic!"

I really hope the person who shouted out at me about not watching MeTV Toons because they don't give Hanna-Barbera shows a marathon will actually watch this Yogi Bear marathon on February 22.

Since I was away from a vacation, to make up with some repeated Harveytoons that added not Milton and Batfink but the post 1962 Paramount Shorts. I think it also the first time to show the Noveltoon name onscreen

Yesterday they had Wacky Races and today they had Dastardly and Muttkey as part of House Of Hanna Barbera on Metv Toons. I hope they keep adding different shows to the block. There are so many they could add and I hope they do. I also like they changed the order some of the toons air in.

Wait a tick.

TCM has a six-year deal to air Looney Tunes.

Did... did Looney Tunes just save TCM?

Six years is a pretty lengthy commitment, and this one goes into 2032.

So, yeah, I think that's a good indication that at least on the surface, TCM might be around a bit longer now.

Variety, especially in the FAST space, is pretty damn good to see.

Even better when FAST channels actually have a straight lineup and aren't airing mass globs of marathons.

Man, I want these studios with bigger libraries embrace FAST a lot more in the future.

Hasbro Legends also has Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, the Real American Hero and DIC eras of G.I. Joe, the original My Little Pony and My Little Pony Tales, Jem and the Holograms, and Duel Masters. A pretty well-rounded collection of retro Hasbro shows.

The fourth channel is definitely an eye-opener, especially for those who dig toyetic shows. Hasbro launched a Hasbro Legends channel which has stuff like Transformers and Power Rangers, both of which already have stand-alone FAST channels.

What else it airs kind of surprises me a lot more.
