Animation fans have been beyond frustrated with HBO Max as of late, with the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streamer removing every classic Cartoon Network show from its catalog.
Series like Courage the Cowardly Dog and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy are now MIA, despite previous promotional campaigns lauding the throwback titles.

Many of these shows are now only watchable via digital downloads. Luckily, there are now three classic Cartoon Network shows currently airing free every weekend.
Broadcast network MeTV Toons airs throwback cartoons wall-to-wall, including many shows that were heavily syndicated on Cartoon Network (The Flintstones, Super Friends, Beetlejuice and more). Three Cartoon Network originals are among its current broadcast offerings, so use a digital antenna to tune in for free (or set your DVRs) now.
