​💥 The "Big Three" Headline Additions (Weekday Lineup)

​8:00 AM ET – Sonic the Hedgehog: The blue blur is officially speeding onto the network, taking over The Super Mario Bros. Super Show’s morning slot. If MeTV Toons handles Sonic the way FAST channels like Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, and Amazon Prime do, we could see a brilliant rotation of his classic eras! Combining Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (65 episodes), SatAM (26 episodes), and Sonic Underground (40 episodes) gives the network 131 total episodes to play with. They could easily program a rotation—for example, Adventures on Mondays and Tuesdays, Underground on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the darker SatAM reserved for Fridays!

​4:30 PM ET – Heathcliff: The beloved orange street cat is claiming the late afternoon slot. What is really interesting about this is that the last time he was on there, it was Heathcliff and Dingbat (and to an extent, Heathcliff and Marmaduke). But here, the catch is that the schedule just says "Heathcliff," giving off strong vibes that this is the beloved 1984 to 1986 run called Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats. If so, get ready to see Riff Raff, Cleo, Hector, Wordsworth, and Mungo back on your screens!

​5:30 PM ET – The Quick Draw McGraw Show: This is the crown jewel of the September 21st update. Due to rights and material issues, this show has been locked in the vault and unavailable for traditional broadcast for decades. Thanks to a painstaking, stellar restoration by Warner Bros. Discovery, the show is returning entirely uncut with its original opens, closes, and classic side segments featuring Snooper and Blabber and Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy.

​📺 Brand-New Blocks & Daytime Tweaks

​10:00 AM ET – Cartoon Carousel: A brand-new one-hour weekday block that will rotate a rarely seen classic animated series every single week, featuring deep cuts like Captain Caveman, Funky Phantom, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, and Inch High Private Eye.

​2:00 PM ET – Woody Woodpecker & Casper Hour: A seamless one-hour weekday blend of classic shorts from the two iconic characters.

​Sunday Nights – "Situation Animation" Block: A fascinating new Sunday night block dedicated entirely to bizarre animated spin-offs of live-action sitcoms. This block will feature The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, The New Adventures of Gilligan, Jeannie, and The Addams Family.

​Sunday Late Night – Animation Antiques: A dedicated block diving into rare, vintage 1930s and 1940s animated shorts.
