replacing the Scooby-Doo Sunday Specials and Flintstone Family Sunday blocks (which I had a feeling would eventually be removed after they both got trimmed to an hour).

Mighty Mouse and Friends will be the name of the syndication package that the channel uses for them, and it will air Sundays from 3-5 PM -

The timeslots for 3-5 PM on the internal document for the Sunday schedules for MeTV Toons starting November 2, 2025 - now displaying the new Mighty Mouse and Friends anthology block featuring the Terrytoons shorts.

Correction: it’s actually coming this Friday (October 17, 2025).

Looks as though PBS Retro may be getting a new series every Friday for the rest of October.

The program guide for PBS Retro on Plex - revealing Jakers! is indeed set to premiere there on Friday, October 17, 2025 at 6:39 PM (right after Zoboomafoo, just like Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps the Friday before).

Correction for those who rely on the ALT text: the episode of The Fairly OddParents with a screenshot featured in the post below is actually "Mission: Responsible".

I'm in my living room watching reruns of Fairly OddParents. Life is pretty mediocre right now.

Wanda nervously watching a waiter at a fairy restaurant she and Cosmo are enjoying a romantic night out at so they can have a break from taking care of Poof in the Fairly OddParents episode "For Emergencies Only" - as seen on TeenNick tonight.

PBS Retro is getting another series tomorrow night at 6:39 PM Eastern: Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks.

Very interesting to see this channel suddenly receiving an influx of new additions after nearly 17 months of stagnation.

Update: PBS Retro has revised their schedule again, and Thomas is staying after all - now airing back-to-back with Angelina.

Looks as though PBS was able to sign a very, VERY last-minute renewal for the Really Useful Engine's show!

Amazon’s guide for their Fire TV channels now has Thomas & Friends displayed for 90 minutes before 90 minutes of Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps in the morning.

The wide grin Homer makes in response to Bart getting "The Dud" in the episode of The Simpsons titled "Summer of 4 Ft. 2" - the origin of an infamous meme video - as seen last night alongside Marge laughing with her eyelids half-closed on FXX.

As for Jellystone!, it's nice to see an HBO Max Original from Warner Bros. Animation get regular airtime on cable for a change.

Hopefully, this show rates well enough for more to air, given how a good chunk of the schedule repeats episodes of other series that came on earlier in the day.

The original Ben 10's increased presence on Boomerang marks the first time a classic Cartoon Network Original has aired regularly outside of the graveyard hours since July 2018.

*Jellystone! is returning to the channel as reruns for the very first time, airing weekdays at 8 PM in the place of the first half-hour of the 2-hour timeslot for Looney Tunes then.

It also helps that Frankie is a character who is very likable and easy to sympathize with the struggles of, even if you aren’t nonbinary yourself (I’m not, but I still connect with them a lot).

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 1d

My friends who are nonbinary say to explain what their identity means that they have multiple minds put together. Thus, applying that identity to Frankenstein's monster - who literally is a being with multiple minds stitched together - was a no-brainer choice (pun intended).

Monster High has the most genius way to represent nonbinary individuals with a nonhuman character out there.

Marcy cracks the most corny jokes in the world when she wants to be romantic with me,…but I don’t mind at all because I know her heart is in the right place. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say the manner in which she executes those jokes is very wholesome.

A selfship Twitter identifier posted by an actual selfshipper - whose account name is “Rin’s Hawk” and account handle is “KitsuneCar”: “Fictional other who is TERRIBLE at flirting.”

Yep. Phineas and Ferb also did a parody of that opening, fittingly for an episode lampooning Frankenstein itself.
