Boomerang - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Sparky · 01-05-2007, 12:11 PM

I remember reading a lot of complaints from different people on different messageboards that Boomerang (which was originally intended for showing classic cartoons) had started showing newer cartoons instead.

And now today I go to CN's website and see a banner ad for "Boomerang: the new channel for kids".

Is that the same Boomerang? They're trying to say that it's new? Will they show *any* classic cartoons anymore? Does there NEED to be another channel for kids?

Anyone know anything about this?

Does the Boomerang logo look any different? I haven't seen this banner ad, yet.

Yeah I think so but I haven't seen the old logo in ages. Here's the banner ad:

If this was seen on the Cartoon Network US site, then it looks like Boomerang MIGHT be going the same route as its Latin American counterparts. Right now, Boomerang is still the same Boomerang we know.

Boomerang actually is showing newer cartoons, I used to watch alot of them late at night during their "action hour" thing. But this was back when I had Boomerang when my cable service was Dish network, now it's under Comcast.

I sadly don't get Boomerang anymore but the last I had of it, I do know they were showing recent toons at around 10 o'clock at night. The thing is, the recent toons was all DC super hero shows. Batman, Superman, and Justice League.

They would air them back to back, sometimes randomzing the episode order for each show. But they showed Batman and Superman: animated series, and they just added Justice League before my cable service switched over to Comcast.

If this continued, i have no doubt Justice League: Unlimited would have been brought over to there too. But I think Cartoon Network was getting pissy about that because I noticed Teen Titans wasn't on this Boomerang block.

The shows Boomerang were airing were DC toons CN were not playing anymore, so CN started airing Teen Titan reruns again to avoid them going over to Boomerbang, or so I think. I have no idea what Boomerang's airing now.

Believe me, what Boomerang Latin America has now is much worse than what the US has now. They have a lot of live-action shows on there.
