For those that don't know MeTV is starting up a new
channel, MeTV Toons that has all the old cartoons that
no longer get aired. It starts up at the end of this
month.
 
Here is a list of the stations carrying Me-TV Toons

While they aren't hitting every city they are getting
most of the nation with this coverage.
 
Here is the schedule for the network:

They've got a good mix of shows for a new network.
Something there for just about everyone including many I
never heard of.

No "Beany and Cecil"??!!??

I've already got DVDs of a bunch of 'em listed (Top Cat,
Rocky & Bullwinkle, Bugs Bunny, etc.), but I've never
been able to get a Beany and Cecil DVD. The only one
I ever even saw listed anywhere only had a few episodes,
but disappeared before I could order it never to be seen
again.

 
Never heard of the show. While I know this won't help you
the episodes do exist on Usenet.
 
Ah you  might give these links a try

Thanks for the links, but I can't do video over my
low bandwidth connection. :(

Beany and Cecil (aka Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent)
was one of those cartoons like Rocky and Bullwinkle
that was for kids on one level, but snarkier and funny
on another level that adults could appreciate.

Too bad it's so hard for find, because I think there
would be an appreciative audience out there for it
once they could sample a few episodes.

It's like people who think that a fairly recent sitcom
is the greatest thing ever, but have never seen (or
likely heard of) anything before, say, the 1980s. There
were lots of shows created before that, but don't have
the visibility that "newer" shows might in the public
memory.

It's just a recently bias that dooms some real gems from
being seen and enjoyed by new(er) generations.

Nyssa, who enjoyed "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster" in the
original run, but only the first half of its one and
only season can be had on DVD and can't find more
than four episodes of "The People's Choice" on DVD
