I've been kicking this around for a while, and I've finally decided to share this with you guys. What if there was a toon network that would combine the resources of Disney, Nick, & Cartoon Network? The best of those three networks from the last few years, including a few select current shows, plus a heapin' helpin' of old school classics. I call this fantasy network Toon Central.
Here's what the schedule would look like in September:
Weekdays:
6:00 AM:Jim Henson's Muppet Babies. When was the last time this aired anywhere? 1 full hour.

10:30: Tom & Jerry (using the made-for-CBS opening & closing)
11:00: Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour (from 1968!)
12:00 PM: Lunchbox Theatre. This will combine the New Scooby-Doo Movies (1972-4), Famous Classic Tales, ABC Saturday Superstar Movies (1972-4), and select toons from the ABC Afterschool Special (i.e. Sara's Summer of the Swans), giving us a wealth of material to use here.
