Support Thoughtnami Any Way You Can

I don't do posts like this often, so forgive the brief promotional break. Think of this as a pledge break segment like they do on public television in the States. 

(You totally should support your local public media outlets if you can)

I'm currently a freelance creator on a very, very fixed income. Haven't really gotten many professional gigs lately (still waiting for payment for a job I did a couple of weeks ago before my keyboard broke on me) and considering I'm also a caregiver, I can't really leave home for lengthy periods of time. 

 If you like what I do around these parts, various social outlets (I'm mostly on BlueSky and the site formerly branded as Twitter), and on Quora (where I answer a lot of questions), you could always support me. 

If you want to send me a financial tip, you could send me one via PayPal. Every little bit helps out with groceries and medicine and other expenses that come up.

If you want to send me a gift, you could send me one from my Amazon Wishlist. I had an emergency a couple of weeks ago and needed a new keyboard, and I'm so thankful and blessed someone looked out for me and got me a new one. You're forever in my heart for that. 

Still trying to figure out what to do with this Ko-Fi account and if I should set up a Patreon site in the future. Not really good at raising funds and providing more articles and such. I am working with a very old computer, and I need a newer machine that doesn't blow up when I type the letter "E" for no reason. But that's an expense for another time that I'll have to explore on my own. 

Still trying to find a way to get back into my old TXB server, but in the meantime, I'll be here. 

But the best way to support this blog? Tell people about it. Contact me on social media and let me know what you like and want to see.

Thank you for your support and your patronage. I hope you stick around for the foreseeable future.

And now, back to your regularly-scheduled programming and life, already in progress.

MeTV TOONS: A Few Pre-Launch Thoughts

Image
  On June 25, 2024, Weigel Broadcasting and Warner Bros Discovery are launching MeTV TOONS, an over-the-air broadcast network devoted to classic animation featuring the best of the best.  You'll have the usual suspects from the Warrner Bros library including Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Top Cat, The Jetsons, The Smurfs, Jonny Quest, and Wacky Races .  You'll also find some shows that rarely get the airplay or shine from the studio like Silverhawks, Police Academy, Challenge of the Go-Bots, The Mask, and Beetlejuice and surprising shows like Freakazoid. In addition, you'll have some popular shows from other studios like Woody Woodpecker, Betty Boop, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Underdog, Speed Racer, Thunderbirds, and The Real Ghostbusters. With a lot of support from historians like Jerry Beck and talent like Bob Bergen, MeTV TOONS is a dream come true for older classic animation fans who felt abandoned by kid-sk

Let's Ride This FAST Car... toon Network Concept (Part 2)

Image
Three channels. That's all the Cartoon Network brand needs to expand into FAST media. Three channels. Why three? Because with nearly 30 years of original programming, you can't put it all in one place. That's why you don't see much of the library on television nowadays. Cartoon Network itself has a limited lineup, and they're hyper-focused on the younger demographics and push more modern shows. They tried to put some of the older CN library on Boomerang, but it was buried in late-night slots.  Plus, most major TV markets don't have Boomerang on their cable lineup. You'd think they'd try to get wider distribution deals, but I think Time Warner just gave up more than a decade ago. And yeah, I put the blame on Time Warner.  Not AT&T and WarnerMedia. Not Warner Bros Discovery. Hell, not even AOL Time Warner.  I'm putting much of Boomerang's lack of carriage on Time Warner. But I digress. With the Checkered Past block on Adult Swim, some of the ol

What to Do with WBD's Networks?

 If you've followed Thoughtnami over the past 20 years, thank you for your patronage and your support . It's so great to be back writing posts like this after all of these years. It feels more natural and less constrictive than tweets and occasional posts across social media. You also know that when it comes to one particularly Hollywood media company, I have a love-hate relationship with them. And that studio has had many names during the course of those two decades. AOL Time Warner.  Time Warner. WarnerMedia. Warner Bros Discovery. And they've all been called "the most poorly run media company" by me throughout those two decades. Now, granted, I may be a little hyperbolic with that statement. They're really not the most poorly run media company (looking at you both, Paramount Global and Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment), but considering the two years the current management team of David Zaslav (President and CEO), Gunnar Wiedenfels (Chief Financial O
