Toon In With Me is an American cartoon anthology series that airs weekday mornings on MeTV.
The show is hosted in live-action segments by Bill, MeTV's "cartoon curator", along with his friend, Toony the Tuna. Each episode contains five classic animated shorts from the WarnerMedia library, including Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies produced by Warner Bros., Tom and Jerry and Tex Avery cartoons produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Popeye cartoons originally released by Paramount Pictures.
Premise
Toon In With Me is designed to be a throwback to locally-produced children's programs that aired from 1950's through the 1980's, with live-action host, comedy and puppet segments in between classic cartoons.
The show is hosted from the MeTV studios by Bill the Cartoon Curator (Bill Leff). His co-host is Toony (Kevin Fleming), a cartoon-loving tuna, who Bill has to take care of while his owner, Goldie Fisher (Leila Gorstein) is away on a world tour. As they present various cartoons, Bill and Toony deal with various problems in the studio, as well as video-chatting with Goldie and receiving useful information from game show host Mr. Quizzer (also Fleming).
Each episode contains five classic animated shorts, and ends with Bill and Toony showing off drawings and photos sent in by fans via the show's website.
