Those shows that used to air like Dexter's laboratory, Banna split show, Yogi bear, power puffgirls the original, Johnny brovo, and other cartoons childhood memories right?
athemocracy Amen. He's like Tex Avery but with TV. Just imagine the potential for CN today if he came back. Wouldn't it be awesome if he brought back the Powerhouse era or CCF or CN City with the modern CN shows(from the GOOD cartoons) like AT RS SU and Gumball crossing over to the classic cartoon cartoons?
same i though Stu was good right when he started in 2007-2008 and then even better from the 2010's, things were so much more stable when he was there for some time. But why did he even leave, Because things seemed to be going fine until 2014?
Alright, Here's A Good Schedule In My Opinion 12:00 PM The PowerPuff Girls 2016 (I hate it, but it's not gonna leave. 12:30 PM - 2:30 Regular Show 2:30 Foster's 3:00 Snorks 3:30-4:00 KND 4:00 Tom And Jerry 4:30 Courage 5:00 Dexter's Lab 5:30 Total Drama Island 6:00 Flintstones 6:30 Teen Titans 7:00 Ed Edd N Eddy 7:30-8:30 Looney Tunes 8:30 Mike Lu And Og 9:00 Cow And Chicken 9:30 Camp Lazlo 10:00 What's New Scooby Doo? 10:30-11:30 Scooby Doo Where Are You 11:30 Ed Edd N Eddy 12:00 Dexter's Lab 12:30 Top Cat And Mogilla Gorilla 1:00 Dasturdly And Mudly 1:30 Looney Tunes 2:00 PowerPuff Girls 2:30 Johnny Bravo 3:00 Tom And Jerry 4:00 Movie 5:00 I Am Weasel 5:30-6:30 Jetsons 6:30 Ed Edd And Eddy 7:00 Foster's Home 7:30 Looney Tunes Show 8:00 Dexter's Lab 8:30 KND 9:00 Courage 9:30 Atom Ant 10:00 Smurfs 10:30 Scooby Doo Kids 11:00 Chowder 11:30 Flapjack
I'm disheartened by the way Boomerang is going. It was there when I needed it. Growing up I didn't really know Grandparents. (My Dad's Dad and Step Mom. I knew and LOVED my Mom's Dad and her Mom is currently living with us.) But they had a pretty good cable package. So whenever we visited them my twin sister and I would hang out up stairs in their guest room to avoid the awkward tension and watch Boomerang. And we'd do that for most of the visit until my parents decide to take us to the zoo in nearby St. Louis while they're at mass or my grandparents decide to take the family out. Then when I got into 6th grade it happened. MY parents got a super deal with DirectTv and we got the "Big" package with Boomerang included. That day my family sat together in the living room and enjoyed The Flintstones for a solid 2 or so hours. That was my Boomerang.
I loved Boomerang. I remember staying up at night at my grandparents' house so I could watch Boomeraction, dabbling in the occasional Samurai Jack, Justice League, SWAT Kats, and The Secret Saturdays. Every morning before school I would watch the two episodes of Wacky Races that would air at 7:00 and 7:30. And I still remember the toy-based promos, and I can still remember the music that played over those promos, plus the fact that they would occasionally play short clips of their characters, which included a Josie and the Pussycats music video and some bizarre, trippy Atom Ant thing. And who doesn't remember Boomeroyalty? So can you imagine my frustration and anger whenever I sat down to watch an episode of Looney Tunes and I discovered the rebrand? And all those fucking cringey commercials for Teen Titans Go and The Garfield Show? And I remember one time looking in the guide and seeing Almost Naked Animals... *shudder* God, watching that show was a dark time in my past. The channel is called "Boomerang" because all the old Hanna-Barbera stuff from the 60's and 70's was "coming back at ya", like a boomerang does. It was a space for those classic cartoons like The Flintstones and The Jetsons to keep getting exposure, because they're phenomenal cartoons. But when I saw that they were airing Almost Naked Animals, and saw those commercials firsthand, my heart broke. Please, old Boomerang, be like your namesake and come back to us!
Even Pokémon left Cartoon Network and Boomerang because they were tired of the network's crap. CN didn't give Pokémon any attention whatsoever and as a result the Pokémon Company desolved the partnership with CN and left to Disney XD. You know things are bad when Pokémon the longest acquisition show CN has ever had LEAVES the channel
Cartoon Network s a TV channel that you don't have to buy after you purchase Cable like Direct TV Disney XD you do need to buy. I don't think I explained it well thou.
PIEGUYRULZ I love your channel. what makes me sad is that Nickelodeon and cartoon network were the two channel I watched growing up. now they're absolutely garbage. this is why I don't look at TV anymore unless it's either a basketball game or football game on.
I'm not even that old and i'm so upset Boomerang is dying. It was my favorite channel ever when i was just 8 or 9 years old. Now my niece watches it and i'm crying at how drastic it has become
I really wish they aired Ed Edd n Eddy. Heck the sad thing is a couple months ago, Boomerang seemed to be on step to the right direction. In the beginning of the year they seemed to be airing some old cartoon cartoons. They used to air Dexter, Pokémon, Courage the Cowardly Dog and KND. It didn't make up for the modern crap but it's at least a start but for some reason Dexter KND Fosters Home and Courage were all removed.
Stan Man 16 so what if you've seen the episodes before? That doesn't matter. Its Boomerang's overall purpose. To look back on old creative shows but they unfortunately got rid of the original classic CN shows all together
Yeah dude. It wasbt even a month ago though. This was a change in literally happened in a few week. I was recording reruns of KND and Fosters and for some reason, they just stopped recording. Then I go to the channel and see, that the line up changed drastically. They got TTG syndrome, but with Tom & Jerry and Looney Toons.
***** agreed. And Scooby as well. Literally the only movies they have are SCOOBY DOO MOVIES. At least Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes makes sense since it's old cartoons so I don't mind it airing a lot
I think Ed Edd n Eddy did air for a bit on the channel because I remember seeing it but never felt like actually watching it. I regret not watching it because I've started getting really into it ;-;
Yes exactly I grew up with this channel and I hate the road it's going down man I miss the old days of boomerang I would whatch it every day RIP boomerang I still love you
Unfortunately networks can't just switch off a channel when it's not getting ratings. Often they have contracts with cable providers that say they must continue to broadcast until the contract expires. Boomerang sounds like it's in the life support stages, where a network is cutting their losses and not spending any time or money programming the channel anymore, essentially running the channel on auto pilot. Sometimes this can last for YEARS, before the contracts expire. Some great examples are Nick GaS and G4TV, which broadcast for several years after the budget for them had been cut off, airing the same 5 to 10 shows everyday. Unfortunately, this is going to happen more and more as people continue to flee traditional cable TV. Smaller networks like Boomerang are the first to get cut, while the larger ones start rebranding and trying to stay afloat, like Spike. Networks that basically serve as warehouses for older content just are not visible as so many people turn to streaming services for that type of programming. The only viable networks will be ones that can produce original content that is high quality and exclusive to their channel. Welcome to the future.
The streaming service should be free since we're already paying for cable & Boomerang has always been included with basic package ffs. That's just going to tick ppl off. And it was so easy to save the channel: show 1hr of 90's toons then 1hr classic old toons everyday all day (example: 1hr Courage then 1hr Flintstones, 1hr Ed, Edd'n Eddy then 1hr Loony Toons etc) & on Weekends movies & specials etc geez how hard is that!
I really hate to say this but Boomerang just needs to go. It's had it's time and it's shown a lot of classic cartoons but ever since the relaunch it's gone to complete shit. I can easily understand why they've done it. They weren't getting the ratings and people were watching it less but the repetitiveness of the channel isn't helping one bit as well as the poor selection of programs. I used to love Boomerang but all the Magic the channel used to have it's gone... and soon the whole channel will just wither away and crumble into dust.
RetroPokeFan I agree. I'm also calling it now. Teen Titans Go is gonna move to Warner Bros streaming service when it comes out to try to get content with an already established viewerbase. Maybe if they do then Cartoon Network will get their act together after there latest cash cow has changed owners.
the motto of boomerang was "it's all coming back to you", it's supposed to focus on the shows that don't get aired or rarely air (i.e. loony toons) on the main channel
But How Are Children Supposted To Go To Bed? At 8'00 Every Night, King Of The Hill Come's On To Tell The Children To Go To Bed. Without The Block, The Children Won't Go To Bed! P.S: This Is A Joke. I Know This Is Not True. They Either Don't Sleep At All, Or Do Nothing But Sleep.
I was so hoping they would turn everything around with boomerang and cartoon network. there goes me showing my kids what made my childhood great :'( stupid executives ruin everything
This is what I think Boomerang should be 8am - 8pm: 90's-00's shows (Dexter's Lab, PPG, KND, Billy & Mandy, etc.) 9pm - 7am: Classic shows (Scooby-Doo, Tom & Jerry, Smurfs, etc.) Alternate the times on certain days to give the classic shows some more time during the day. Regular Show and Gumball are too new to add to Boomerang in my opinion. Boomerang is supposed to be a channel for people who want to watch older shows that aren't on TV anymore. Regular Show needs to be on Cartoon Network not Boomerang until another 10 years or so.
I really don't think they want to put effort into a channel that only 37.5% homes get. I think they probably took a good look at Boomerang with it's very limited ad space and thought that an App is probably the most financially stable.
If they are really trying to head towards the boomerang app then this is what I suggest they do. Add more shows to it and give a non-cable option to live stream the Boomerang channel.
I miss the old Boomerang. I enjoyed watching the classics I grew up on like Tom and Jerry and many, many others. Before they changed things, I used to watch Teen Titans (OG) every night during its action block. It was awesome with a combination of old CN shows and the classics. That was really my last stride. I wished for so long that they would introduce more Cartoon Cartoons and 2000s shows and eventually transition to a 90s channel with classic cartoons (which would have been great for ratings imo, I would have jumped back immediately). Imagine seeing those Boomerang bumpers during one portions of the day and then seeing the old Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and CN City bumpers during another time. They could have benefited from the nostalgia trend and kept that train rolling, but all of these ideas are just wet dreams at this point.
Kill boomerang before it gets worse. Boomerang you were the best before 2014 but when y'all rebranded my child hood died. I remember for my 8th b day I had a boomerang cake I loved boomerang but it has changed we need to let it go before it's get worse
Since I was in the US, my Boomerang rebranded in 2015 instead of 2014, but they NEED to kill boomerang. Tbh, they should remove Adult Swim as a block from CN, and make an Adult Swim channel to replace/rebrand Boomerang, because at this point it’s dead
The only reason Boomerang is still around is because of New episodes like last year Boomerang peanuts rating were not too bad mostly between 100,000 and 200,000 view per episode with a few below 100,000/ And Boomerang New Episodes of Garfield Show Season 4/5 which always got over 100,000 to 300,000 views per episode which is pretty good. Sonic Boom Season 2 premiere on Boomerang gets over 100,000 views every Saturday. Boomerang Series Grizzy and the lemming premiere in April and there ratings are improving from 70,000 views per episode to over 250,000 which is a big jump. Boomerang is also going to Air New episode of My knight and Me. Boomerang bought right to air Shaun the Sheep Season 5 and I think it's airing this year. Boomerang has a new show called Taffy airing in 2018. They can't put these show Boomerang Streaming because it's not a classic cartoon and these are all boomerang series exclusively to there channel. So I believe that why Boomerang is still running.
Thank you. Boomerang is heading to G4TV territory. Ever since this lackluster rebrand, It's been a dead horse network now. It might as well be a VOD and/or streaming service by now. Old shows and reruns don't draw ratings, ask Nick@Nite. I would personally love Adult Swim to replace Boomerang or the rumored Adult Swim Jr. takeover.
I hate when they one time showed the Flintstones, Smurfs, Fosters and Original PPG, and then when i actually stay up to 3am to try and watch them, they either show the other shows that are showed in the morning, and then change the Original PPG to the shitty PPG 2016 reboot last minute and its so ugh :P
I have no clue why Boomerang keeps airing Me and My Knight, Power Puff girls 2016 and Grizzly and the lemmings all these shows are not good. It's a shame how Boomerang is shifting away from what it use to do so well airing old animated cartoons from Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros and Cartoon Network original series.
SymbioteNx379 well Boomerang use to air Teen Titans Go and Amazing world of Gumball and those shows are by no means failing but they no longer air on Boomerang so your right.
Here's an idea, for an entire month show at least 5 episodes from every cartoon classic in random schedules where you know people will watch them. Then when that month is up you check to see which top 20 or more episodes had the highest ratings. Then from then on boomerang has 2 periods. Kids period 6am-8pm and nostalgia period. Kids period shows tv shows from late 90s to most recently ended good cartoon original shows while nostalgia period shows all the classic tv shows that got all the best ratings. You can still keep the boomerang app for money just in case ratings aren't what they need to be and for the bumpers, in the kids period have transitions from nostalgia period to kids period and vice versa. For the kids period use cartoon city all day long and for nostalgia period use the classic boomerang bumper style. The scheduling is up to you for the tv shows just keep 1996-to present day shows in the kids section of the channel, and 1940-1995 shows on the nostalgia section of the channel. What y'all think?
This is how I would want Boomerang to be fixed: 1. Have one of the two Cartoon Network channels show cartoons that used to air on the channel (2007-present) 2. Air all cartoons that aired between 1957-2005 (excluding Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies cartoons, as those started in 1933, I think). 3. Re-air marathons such as "Daffy's Revenge" & "Flagstones to Flintstones". 4. As of this comment, Boomerang has given up on holiday cartoons. Air the Boomerang Christmas Party as we have known from when we first witnessed it, but take the stupid garbage of holiday episodes of new cartoons & air older Christmas specials, such as "Yogi's First Christmas", "It's A Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special", " A Flintstones Christmas", & "A Jetsons Christmas Special". 5. Air TV shows that have hardly appeared on the channel since their last airing or have never aired on the channel, such as "Animaniacs", "TIny Toon Adventures", "Challenge of the Gobots", "The Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm Show", any show that is older than 2005. 6. Air TV shows that grip nostalgia to anybody from teenagers to adults & seniors. 7. Take off movies like those Direct-to-video movies that Warner Bros releases (i.e. Big Top Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry/Wizard of Oz crossover, WWE crossover movies), & show ones like "Yogi's Great Escape", "The Man Called Flintstone", "Hey There, It's Yogi Bear", etc. Basically, if Boomerang does not follow this plan, the only thing Boomerang will be remembered for is a bunch of bullshit that does not belong on a channel for classic cartoons. And the reason why people don't like the original channel is because they don't know how to enjoy classic cartoons & movies.
Earlier in the year I found out that after 9 pm up until 5 am Teen Nick airs a collection of 90s Nicktoons under the name, The Splat. They commonly air Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, CatDog, and Rugrats. They do air Doug weekly (was never a fan of that one)
I will always miss the old boomerang.i hate how the current one looks. If there was a way, I would do anything to bring back the old bumpers and schedule. It is very sad.
Tradaddus Barton there was a channel called Cartoon Network too that started old shows from Cartoon Network in the UK it ended in 2014 and turned into Cartoon Network +1 it started shows like frosters home,grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy', original Ben 10 and Ed,Ed,Eddy it was an awesome channel search it up online it was basically the better Cartoon Network,it even had Noods on it.They also started shows like chowder and regular show and Adventure time and I think you should really search it up online.
I guess television wants to get rid of cartoons entirely, and forcing you to get computer apps because they would rather air nothing but cheap sitcoms, and reality crap from now until the end of time! It infuriates me to hear these idiot execs tell us that 'cartoons don't bring in ratings' while cheap crap like 'Jerry Springer', 'The 'Kardashians', and 'TMZ' keep raking in viewers!
Also yeah I like Cartoon Network but I admit that they've got issues. So I'm looking forward to that downfall of Cartoon Network video. But can you potentially do a video on Fox's cartoons in the future? Because it would be interesting to see you cover adult animation for a change.
athemocracy Yeah. But I would also like to see you cover Warner Bros upcoming streaming service & the potential impact it could have if Warner Bros decides to make Teen Titans Go amongst other shows only available on it.
I just wish they could bring mixtures of classics and shows that hardly get any air time on cartoon network. A hint of Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and Regular Show re-runs can make it alot better. More shows that were iconic like Chowder, Ed Edd n Eddy, CTCD, FHOIF, etc. Should be given fair treatment as well as majority still love 2000s/2010s shows. Its really sad to see my, our childhoods crumble. Growing up with many cartoons that were majority of our entertainment is fading all because of poor choices. I just want something good from Cartoon Network
You also have to keep in mind there are other networks that cater to nostalgic shows. Take GSN, the show old game shows as well as newer ones. But back in the 90s all they showed were old game shows. I myself watch GSN from time to time only to watch Press Your Luck. Boomerang has to have the same balance or old shows an new shows. I'd prefer the old shows but they won't do that now that u can watch older shows on the streaming service. There are 24 hours in a day. 12 hours should go to old retro toons an 12 to newer 90s and 2000 ones. That would keep the balance perfectly
Additionally, I looked at the schedule now and they literally show Foster's Home, Dexter, Billy & Mandy, Ben 10, and CND, + others..i get this video is about a year old but clearly they have some recent throwbacks...i dont see where there is really a problem.
It’s a shame it’s so bad now because I remember when it was good and I used watch it when there was nothing on Nick , Disney or Cartoon Network and there was a great mixture of great shows to watch it’s such a shame it went down hill
What about shows exclusively on the app can air on CN on Saturdays 8:00am: Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz 8:30am: Bunnicula 9:00am: The Tom and Jerry Show 9:30am: Wabbit 10:00am: Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! 10:30am: Wacky Races Then: 11am: Teen Titans Go!/11:30am: Justice League Action

I'm sad that this channel is dying and nothing's being done to fix it. Streaming only is going to take this channel so far and when this goes, it's like dealing with a death. I loved all the classic cartoons and anime it once showed and for all of it to just disappear like that.
I WANT MY DAMN HONG KONG FUI,TOP CAT,THE JETSONS,THE FLINSTONES,THE ORIGNAL BEN 10 SERIES,ORIGNAL TEEN TITANS,JOHNNY BRAVO,DEXTER,TRIPLE EDS,DOG AND CAT AND SCOOBY DOO LAUGH OLYMPICS
Ratings are slipping because people are just not watching cable that must anymore. But that's doesn't mean it's over. They need to mix in 90's shows, like you said, with some older shows. Seeing how our generation had it better than this generation of cartoons, why not? Miller doesn't know what the hell she is doing!
what they're doing is like a ceo instead of working on improving his business he's working on something else that's gives him more money and starts to just not care about his original business
