Toon in with Me

In anticipation of the debut of the weekday "Toon In with Me" morning show on January 4, 2021, MeTV aired two special "Cartoon Kick-Off" programs on the evenings of January 1 and January 2. (The January 1 show would be the official debut of MeTV's slate of classic WB, MGM, and Popeye cartoons, before the first installment of the new "Saturday Morning Cartoons" block aired the following morning.) In each of the "Cartoon Kick-Off" shows, as well as the three-hour "Saturday Morning Cartoons" block that aired on January 2, the cartoons were slightly cropped from their original 1.37:1 aspect ratios to better fill a widescreen television frame (often with parts of words cut off at the top and bottom of the opening logos). The cartoons featured within the hosted weekday morning show, however, preserve the full frame of their original release.
