About Us

ClassicsWithoutCable.com grew out of our frustration in trying to find old classics and family viewing on TV. Our new site includes brief notes on most DVDs by Gord Wilson, who also reviews on Amazon, and who often includes ratings from film critic Leonard Maltin.

ClassicsWithoutCable is the sister site of Cartoons Without Cable, originally part of alivingdog.com. As cartoon lovers, we realized that you didn't need cable with all the great cartoons coming out on DVD. The idea is simple. Play one episode a day as if it were on cable. Mix with other cartoons or shows, throw in an occasional movie, and voila! custom viewing for you and your family.
