Well, at least the ones I used to watch as a kid:

Jonny Quest
Superfriends
Herculoids
Grape Ape
Thundarr the Barbarian
Banana Splits
Speed Buggy
Hair Bear Bunch
Hong Kong Phooey

Not necessarily great ones, but ones that bring that 8 year old kid feeling rushing back to me.

Kinda cool.

2. You mean the channel "Boomerang" right ?
it's been on for a while. I watch it because it's the only place I can watch the Flintstones, the Jetsons,and Looney Tunes now.

I should correct my thread title. Thanks!

I just found the 'new' channel on my cable box--I guess I don't check very often for new channels.

7. Dangermouse
Is shown here in England; not sure whether that ever crossed the Atlantic.

Shows like that were always wasted on the youth, D.M. especially as there is the most marvellous commentary (totally unrelated to the story-line, and gloriously ironic) which goes miles over the heads of 99% of 8 year-olds.

8. I've had it on satellite for years.
And, yes, it's a great channel.

10. Frankly, I have no idea how long its been on my cable lineup
because it's on Channel 185. I didn't even know it was there until recently!
