ECTV - El Capitan Television!

Commercial Free, 24 Hours A Day

I got into a chat at lunch today about how much better cartoons were back when we were kids, as opposed to a lot of the dreck that's on the air now. It led me to thinking about what I'd air if I could have my own TV station. I imagine it would be a lot like Weird Al Yankovic's movie UHF, only without Stanley Spadowski and his magic mop.

Naturally, this all operates under the assumption that I could clear up the licensing issues, and bring a couple of shows back into production to reach that 100 episode syndication-friendly limit.

I'm thinking this would work for a lineup:
