View Full Version : Boomerang from Cartoon Network mlentz 02-08-2006, 11:06 PM Any comments on this channel. As of late it is becoming worthless like every other network on tv. They are really getting away from the classics.:( soulbrainsfan 02-09-2006, 02:54 AM Sorry to disappoint you, but can you post this on the Cartoons/Animated Series Message Board please? lockdown06 02-09-2006, 10:51 PM I wish I had this channel spunkygirl 02-11-2006, 03:32 PM How is it becoming worthless? I watch it constantly, they show classic cartoons. How are they getting away from classics, that's all they show Dr. Jazz 02-11-2006, 11:22 PM How is it becoming worthless? I watch it constantly, they show classic cartoons. How are they getting away from classics, that's all they show They've been showing about 4 or 5 newer cartoons (Dexter's Laboratory, Duck Dodgers, What's New Scooby Doo?, etc.) each twice a day which has been eating up much of the line-up and cutting the classic cartoons down dramatically here lately. Looney Tunes isn't even on regularly right now. However, on a good note - I have noticed that starting Monday, Hanna-Barbara's "All Star Laff-a-Lympics" returns to the weekday line-up for the next few weeks while the Winter Olympics are taking place. It will air weekdays at 3:30pm :cool: I always rooted for the Yogi Yahooeys lol vashti1999 02-11-2006, 11:33 PM I always rooted for the Yogi Yahooeys lol That was the team I always rooted for too. As far as Boomerang, the good thing is we're getting some of that old stuff on dvd. Between Wacky Races, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Top Cat, etc. When they come out with Magilla Gorilla I'll really be happy. spunkygirl 02-12-2006, 12:00 AM Yeah they show some newer stuff once in awhile, but at least it's not constantly, and it hasn't taken over the whole network :) I gotta have my Smurfs :lol: I wish they hadn't taken off Popeye :mad: Dr. Jazz 02-12-2006, 12:04 AM Yeah they show some newer stuff once in awhile, but at least it's not constantly, and it hasn't taken over the whole network :) I gotta have my Smurfs :lol: I wish they hadn't taken off Popeye :mad: They also took off "Underdog" and "Josie and the Pussycats", but I think they will eventually bring them back. I wish they would hook us up with some Fat Albert reruns though. Mr. Television 02-12-2006, 12:05 AM I wish I got boomerang. spunkygirl 02-12-2006, 12:23 AM Yeah they might bring them back. Maybe they used up the alloted amount of air times for those shows' episodes friendsfan77 02-12-2006, 06:53 AM I wish I got Boomerang too. tv star collector 02-12-2006, 09:05 AM I have DirecTV and get Boomerang, along with my local channels, for just a few dollars more than the basic package. It's worth it. greenlaser5555 02-12-2006, 02:47 PM Why are you guys talking about cartoons here? Talk about it in the Cartoon section, geez.pissed: spunkygirl 02-12-2006, 02:49 PM One of the mods will move it if they see fit to do so. spunkygirl 02-13-2006, 04:53 AM Boomerang is airing He-Man this week at 11:30 PM, not sure if it's a permanent addition or not :D rodwayne 02-13-2006, 12:04 PM I don't have Boomerring:mad: :mad: :mad: ,but if it's anything like Cartoon Network,I bet you all the classics will soon be gone,replace by all of those "fly-by-night" cartoons they did in the mid to late 90's,early 2000's;better yet,they will start doing originals just to get the 18-24 year old group. bossradio93 02-13-2006, 12:14 PM I don't have 'Boomerang' per se but I have Boomerang On-Demand through my cable provider (Comcast) and provides a list of classic cartoons each week. Hopefully, I'll get the channel one of these days. :) spunkygirl 02-13-2006, 12:20 PM Boomerang is NOTHING like Cartoon Network. Boomerang airs all their shows uncut and commercial free. TVFactFan 02-13-2006, 12:30 PM Boomerang is NOTHING like Cartoon Network. Boomerang airs all their shows uncut and commercial free. I keep forgetting that I have Boomerang-lol I wish they show Looney Toons. All I see is the Jetsons, Flinstones, and Scooby Doo spunkygirl 02-13-2006, 12:34 PM They do air Looney Tunes, it's on at: 6 am and 2 pm ;) tv star collector 02-13-2006, 06:41 PM Re both TV Land and Boomerang: if I were in charge of programming, I'd set a cut-off date for shows on both networks. I think each of these channels should be a haven for classic TV shows (as they both started out to be). I think that shows made before, say, 1980 should be on TV Land or Boomerang. Shows that aired after 1980 should be aired on either Nick at Nite or Cartoon Network. A "classic" -- whether cartoon or live-action -- should, in my opinion, be at least 25 years old. That's what a classic is: something that has stood the test of time. spunkygirl 02-13-2006, 07:05 PM TVLAND? Why would they air cartoons? They're not a classic cartoon network, neither is Nick at Nite. "classic" doesnt always mean old ;) TVFactFan 02-13-2006, 07:34 PM They do air Looney Tunes, it's on at: 6 am and 2 pm ;) I don't have the bommerang Channel , only on the Comcast On Demand |
