Watch Cartoon Online

 For the past several years, I've been watching some of my animated shows on a Magyar-based pirate site called Watch Cartoon Online (even though that kind of thing is more discussed on the sister blog).  At first, it was for American Dad! after it moved from Fox to TBS before I got Dish.  Then my DVR crashed, and I got a new one when I moved house. Now if Duncanville is renewed and is on Hulu for Series Four, I can watch it on WCO instead of paying for a subscription since I can't do streaming like most people these days (although I am considering getting it and a stronger ISP and leaving Dish.  What drove me to write this however was the other night, I fell asleep and missed most of the Sunday night lineup!  Then I learned that I have to register and pay for it now, and it's sort of a poor mans Netflix for animation, whether it's this type, or anime and Manga from Japan.  I could even go back to a certain episode of Bobs Burgers or The Great North (not on long enough yet for syndication).  WCO said that rises in electricity for the servers left them no choice, given recent events of the past year, and in a country with a little less money and a history.  I tried to watch them legally on the FOX NOW app, but it wouldn't properly recognise my Dish account.  I've had less trouble with the social, mind.

I'd only planned on using the site once in a while, but now if I nod off again in future, or something comes up and I forget to record or it can't wait, I have backup now.  WCO have tonnes of material.  They even have Loren Bouchards only current non-Fox series Central Park from Apple TV that I could look into.  It may not work on peoples TVs like the real streaming services, just phones and devices.
