Comet had it the last several years replaced by SG1.
Comet has had the SG shows as the backbone of their lineup for years; for their first year or two, they ran two hours of SG1 back to back to back every night (yeah, their prime time schedule was two hours of SG1 followed by a repeat of those two hours). Then they added Atlantis, and they eventually started swapping them out, running SG1 for a few months then running Atlantis in its place. I think they even added SGU to the rotation. B5 started a few years ago, not long after they started airing Andromeda.

Their programming lineup has gotten a bit more diverse recently. At least they stopped doing that "we're going to run consecutive episodes of the same show all day long!" thing that they were doing. It's hard to keep up with a show when you miss eight shows out of ten.

FYI, Comet has an app on the AppleTV (the hardware box, not the service) where you can watch their live programming. The benefit to that is they don't run the ads during the commercial breaks, except for the house ads. They used to run some ads during the breaks, which was actually worse than watching it over the air, as they were 10-15 second ads that were looped, so you'd see the same ad repeated over and over and over during each break.

Have the OG Looney Toons been castrated? All the ones they used to show on CN and other children's programming had all the good ones banned.

No more Daffy getting his bill blown off, no Elmer having his shotgun, no Bugs dressing like a girl, no more Wile E. Coyote playing with acme bombs.

If METV has the OG ones, then GREAT! If not, then meh.

I really liked the heavily detailed cartoons from the 1930s and early 1940s. Anyone remember Mammy Two Shoes with whom Tom and Jerry lived back in the day? Heavy set, wore ankle length skirts with thick hose and heavy shoes, and was forever screeching and standing on a chair whenever she saw Jerry. Funny thing is, they never showed her face but once.
