This morning while watching "The Flintstones" on MeTV there was a teaser for "The Jetsons" coming soon to MeTV. This should not come as too much of a surprise, but a pleasant surprise none the less.

A quick search through Google brought me to this announcement from MeTV themselves

I'm excited to see it. More HB on TV again is nice

I feel like I should be more excited for this than I am. Granted, I'm one of the only people (besides Yowp) on this planet who loves and defends early H-B as much as the best Warner/MGM theatrical stuff, but The Jetsons always felt like the cut-off point for me, in terms of good cartoons from the studio. This was the beginning of the end, where they started to rip themselves off for financial gain ("Hey, sitcom with family in stone age worked! Do it in the future!"), and the tiny budgets really started to show.

This wasn't the FIRST time they repeated an idea, but in the case of Hokey Wolf and Ding-a-Ling being clones of Yogi and Boo Boo, it doesn't matter, since the same crew worked on both sets of cartoons, and they're just as funny and enjoyable. Think of it as if Chuck Jones and Mike Maltese did a cartoon with "Wacky Wabbit and Hunter Fred" - it's rip-off Bugs 'n Elmer, but since it's still got that great Chuck direction, wonderful Mike writing, and great Ken Harris animation, it's just as good.

Here's hoping they'll use WAC's wonderful HD masters for airing (which the actual show is, IMHO, NOT worthy of.)

I thought the show was fine and I say go ahead of airing it. Also, am I the only one I'm getting sick and tired of people cutting off H-B point as 1962 (probably yes)? Sure, they had ups and downs but at least the Parent Code wasn't on their back then.

Great news. I predicted that Sunday morning would be the slot for more H-B.

They dedicate that time in my area to local programming stuff, so I sadly can't watch it. Sad, but oh well, I ain't up on Sundays till past that time

Please don't bump seven-month-old threads unless you have something useful to say. That didn't add to the conversation at all.

I mean, if they ever have plans to add Top Cat, ya basically got the original big 3 prime time cartoons on one channel.

I'm just saying.
