Who eles misses classic cartoons on television?

Forget Boomerang and Nick. Check out Hasbro's Hub station. They show lots of 70s and 80s shows.

Ifits only available on DVD, it's like a time capsule. Fully enclosed, and you won't stumble upon it unawares. If it's on TV somehow, people will accidentally find them and new fans are made. DVDs are only bought by people who already know about it.

Boomerang and Nick at Nite are just into 90s nostalgia now. It's the 90s kids turn. But on the upside the majority of the toons and shows from the 70s and 80s are easliy available on home video. I'd rather watch them un-edited, time compressed and with out commercials anyways.

I was able to download all the Beatles cartoons last year. My kids are wild about them and they love the Beatles music. Never see those anywhere...

I miss them but some newer shows have some out on the past few years I've enjoyed on Saturday Mornings instead. Batman: B & B. Avengers: EMH and Young Justice. The problem is they never seem to last. Beyond that I'm content with my DVD's and what's available via Netflix. My only gripe concerns stuff that isn't on DVD or on-Demand and is being completely withheld like the few installments of Superfriends that have not been released yet.

Well, sadly...cartoons on TV don't mean what they used to. Let's face it, there's just too much out there. If you can get stuff on DVD/Blu-Ray, YouTube and downloading from other sources, then no one is focusing on the general TV viewing audience. And sadly...kids aren't what they used to be either. Time was, when you come home from school, grab a snack and turn on the cartoons, or get up early on Saturday mornings, grab the sugar coated cereal and veg in front of the tube for a few hours of cartoon bliss. But w/ all the texting, video gaming, tablet toting, reality show watching that kids do now, they're just not into cartoons like we were. It's really sad. I thank God everyday I have A) the memory I have and B) the means to get the classics (whether that be cartoons or toys) to find my happy place and go back in time for awhile.

MTV had it on for a while. I taped of lot of the eps from that.

Just seen the Jackson 5 cartoon on DVD in Target and was wondering why nobody plays it on TV.

During the weekends is when I have the most nostalgia for classic cartoons. Back ten years or so boomerang could feel the void pretty well with a great line up of Hanna-Barbara classics. The last five years or so it seems to have gotten worse as newer stuff takes over.

This article explains boomerangs current state fairly well:http://astralcity.blogspot.com/searc...oomerang+Sucks

While its easy enough to just buy DVD's of MOST of HB's library, I was wondering why these cartoons are still exclusive to WB channels when they dont air many of them anymore. Wouldnt it be beneficial to allow them back into syndication on stations like This TV and other retro networks? Kids would like them if they actually had access to them.

What do you think?
