Most of the upcoming titles are Cartoon Network and WB shows from the 1960s to the 1990s, and the list includes both major franchises like Animaniacs, Powerpuff Girls, Pinky and the Brain, and Justice League, and obscure titles like Yogi's Galaxy Goof-Ups, Ricochet Rabbit, and The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley.

Many of these shows aren't streaming anywhere right now, and if they are, it's on a paid service.

While streaming services keep raising prices, there's been a recent rise in fairly solid free TV options. Roku has hundreds of free live channels that you can watch on any smart device. You can watch 250 more with Google TV (more than 1,000 channels combined), and there are several other great options for free streaming apps.

You will need to download the Tubi app to watch, but you're not required to create an account.
