Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Scare Tactics + Jordan Peele will likely be must see tv. It would be nice if they paid tribute to Shannen Doherty… the original host.

They also will soon be getting more of the Hanna Barbera stuff as WB finishes restoring them, and switching out Top Cat for restored version. Yogi show will air with Snagglepuss and Yakky like it did originally; Huckleberry Hound Show also had Yogi as well as Pixie & Dixie; Magilla Gorilla which includes Ricochet Rabbit and Punkin Puss; Loopy de Lupe; Frankenstein Jr.; Dastardly & Muttley; Wally Gator which also has Touche Turtle and Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har; An Animation Antiques block with old stuff has also been announced… Courageous Cat and also Clutch Cargo got mentioned as part of that. There was also some talk of things they are working on getting (TMNT?); plans for Scoobtober; Thanksgiving marathons with one day Daffy and one day Bugs “no turkeys”, and more.
