For the past week or so, I've been watching Boomerang.

From 11 AM ET until 3 PM ET, Boomerang is airing these classic CN shows...

In this order (an hour for each show):
*Codename: Kids Next Door
*Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
*Dexter's Laboratory
*The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

I think that this is awesome. Before they used to air these shows from midnight until 4 AM. Now, they are airing them in a prime spot.

What do you think about this?

Its interesting for sure. I'd be blown away if they aired Megas XRL, DBZ and Naruto tho.

I'm going to be totally honest when it comes to Turner. I believe the best thing they should do is shutdown Boomerang and combine that current schedule with Cartoon Network's together while extending Cartoon Network back to 10pm ET. That way Cartoon Network has a really balanced schedule of modern shows and classic shows. I've been reading these shows that's been on Boomerang the last couple of years such as the Charlie Brown reboot and the Wacky Races reboot and I'm like what the f**kin hell I've never heard of these classic franchises being rebooted. But what's the point of these shows being on Boomerang when these can add to CN's so little schedule. On my phone so I can't post too much. I'll be back later.

The point of Boomerang is to show older shows.

Also, CN has it's own new shows to air.

Megas XLR can't be aired on TV anymore due to legal reasons.

Also, DBZ and Naruto weren't CN shows, they were animes that aired on the original Toonami. The current Toonami airs Dragon Ball Super (the follow up to DBZ) and also Naruto Shippuden.

.. I know that. DBZ and Naruto are very special shows tho and feel Cartoon Network like. I remember back in 2000-2001, Cartoon Network used to air this commercial that had people wearing a Johnny Bravo costume and Super Saiyan Goku costume in a backyard. There were more I can't remember but you get the point.

Not suprised, they did air Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on Boomerang in 2015.

Yeah I've been aware for years. Boomerang is also for ancient cartoon franchises in general, that's why you'll see new reboots of Wacky Races, Charlie Brown, Garfield, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, and Tom & Jerry as well. There's a new Flintstones reboot called "Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs" or something like that with Pebbles and Bam Bam as the main characters and it's going to be on Boomerang of course. I feel like Cartoon Network could just combine both schedules together. I didn't feel this way before Boomerang rebranded in 2015 (or technically the major schedule change in June 2014). Boomerang from 2015-present reminds me of the post-2004 era of Toon Disney or the Nicktoons Network era from 2005-2009 (without the action shows). We were lucky to have the 2000-2014 era of Boomerang as long as we did because the classic Toon Disney and Nicktoons TV were long faded away a decade prior to Boomerang's rebrand.

Megas XLR can't be aired on TV anymore due to legal reasons.

Also, DBZ and Naruto weren't CN shows, they were animes that aired on the original Toonami. The current Toonami airs Dragon Ball Super (the follow up to DBZ) and also Naruto Shippuden.


I was just about to say the same for Megas XLR as well. Glad you brought it up!

Pokemon wasn't a CN show but it still aired on Boomerang. They even had bumpers made for Pokemon as well and it was totally weird AF. My favorite Boomerang bumpers from the old era were the Looney Tunes ones because of the colors, variety of characters and the background orchestra they used.

What do you think about this?


I hope you wont get mad @ me Black Panther but you did ask what we think....

I think its garbage.... Boomerang used to show GOOD cartoons (From the 70s and before)

Now both channels are crapola!!

That's just your opinion and I strongly (and respectfully) disagree with it.

Boomerang was originally for old school Hanna-Barbera and WB/MGM cartoon reruns only while the main CN channel would just stick to their original shows, acquisitions and anime (new episodes and old reruns), but now Boomerang is just for classic CN shows and modern CN shows while they'll take the most popular Hanna-Barbera franchises from decades back and reboot those into new series. Reruns of classic CN shows have been on Boomerang since the mid 00's but the majority of the schedule was still Hanna-Barbera shows and classic WB/MGM reruns. Boomerang started declining throughout the early 10's but it was still solid with majority good content until that major schedule chance in June 2014 which was a sign Boomerang was going to rebrand in 2015. You're not wrong, but Boomerang should get SOME credit for making the schedule somewhat better compared to how it's usually been since the network first rebranded in 2015. Kinda like how we felt about Disney XD right after Toon Disney ended too then over time Disney XD's schedule improved along with its exclusive content. I look at it like that. I still agree that Boomerang has basically become an alternate CN and they should just shutdown the network and combine it with CN's current programming, that way CN would have the variety again like they used too back in its hey day. Why not have Regular Show (reruns), Steven Universe, Gumball, We Bare Bears, TTGO, Be Cool Scooby-Doo, Clarence, Tom & Jerry Tales, Charlie Brown (reboot), Wacky Races (reboot), Dexter's Lab (reruns), Billy & Mandy (reruns), etc. all in one schedule? In the process I would also push back to 10pm or 11pm ET instead of it starting too early at 8pm like it's been since 2014, and the first 3 hours of are always FOX cartoon reruns and its main programming doesn't even come on until 11pm ET, so what's the point?
