It's funny how people have to hate on cartoon hosts and would rather just watch the cartoons alone. I'm guessing these are the same people that hated late night horror hosts in the 1950s for interrupting the Dracula or Frankenstein movies. And, if you look at modern horror hosts (like Rifftrax and MST3K) that talk OVER the film making jokes, these same people go ballistic on IMdb that they are ruining the "great" 3 star sci-fi films they show. Are they showing their ages as being grumpy old people? There also seem to be multiple reviews hating on the only woman in the cast, Leila Gorstein. Really? She does remind me of Fran Drescher which is a love her or hate her actress because of her annoying New York accent doing The Nanny. FYI, she's doing mostly obnoxious characters to play off of Bill and Toony. Leila's definitely an asset to the show for me, watch her do multiple roles and tell me that her Boxcar character isn't flat out funny (definitely a tribute to Lucy Ball playing a hobo)! She also does an environmentalist activist role in a funny way so these reviewers may have opinions on that and maybe a mob of people talked to each other to bad mouth this show on IMdb because they are environmentalists (but never actually watched the show). My opinion is that the hosts of this show are pretty awesome and greatly enhance these 70+ year old cartoons. At first viewing I didn't know what to make of it, thinking the show was geared for mostly kids but after watching it for over a month it grew on me, I realized that the host skits are actually pretty funny for kids AND adults! Plus, the hosts are doing some great trivia about the cartoons just like horror hosts do which I find very entertaining. If you are a Baby Boomer like me (and where MeTV's audience is mostly from) you are going to LOVE how not only are a LOT of these cartoons not the ones you watched dozens of times on the Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner Show, but a ton of stuff that was probably never shown on TV before! Plus, remember watching all those old worn out film prints on TV as a kid? These all seem to be remastered in HD! Bye bye film scratches and bad sound! My rating, 10 of 10. Pass the word to your Baby Boomer friends who still like cartoons to set their DVRs because this show needs to stay on the air, I love it!
