Boomerang (US) News & Discussion II: Rebrand

[VeiledHat]

Boomerang aired the shows with their segments in the past. Why can't they air their segments now?

Yeah. I feel bad for missing out on Ricochet Rabbit, because Harvey Birdman (where he was all strung up on Ritalin) made me like that character.

So this weekend marathon of these classic shows, that is to promote the website right?

They're playing Scooby-Doo Where Are You in its original aspect ratio rn

That was also when they did this year's Scoobtober, and that was only for the episode "Bedlam in the Big Top"

I’m getting whiplash with Boomerang. They keep taking the Scooby Doo shows I like best off the air - put them back on and then take them off.

“What’s New” is on 11/30, then off. Then it returns on 12/7 and is off again starting 12/9

“Where” and ”Guess” have been on weekends, but it appears that will end with 12/6, as they are not scheduled for Saturday 12/7..

This is per TV Passport

Honestly, I think it‘s a terrible schedule...way, way too much Tom and Jerry, plus shows I don’t care about

They’re only doing this because of the Very Merry Jerry event, that crazy cat will be reduced once it’s over

A month long event of Tom and Jerry wow that is new? That is like Cartoon Network having a month long Teen Titans Go event.

Anyway watching Josie and the Cats, I have to say it is by the far the best Scooby Doo clone. Even though the title character is the weakest of the show. (okay her boyfriend is, but she is a close second) Anyway it does some Scooby Doo, still able to do it's own thing, that makes its own.

It just is what it is. Tom & Jerry has been popular for years.

Well, not just years, but for DECADES, even before Cartoon Network and Boomerang came to fruition.

^What's fruition?

Google Definition: fruition: the point at which a plan or project is realized.

i wish they would keep some of the HB shows on next months schedule

I don't like how in the extended Boomerang Theater promo, they underuse the Phantom Virus; they just show him sneezing when Velma blows dust at him, and not any of his other, funnier moments. They could've used one of his baseball puns, you know? That way, I would've looked forward to that promo every time it appears at the end of a show. At least Cyborg is in it (in the shortened version, his head is cut off by the frame, but in this longer version, he speaks.)

They’ve been using the same promo since the rebrand started, it’s too late to change it...

Why don't they just make a new promo? They should at least update their promo because this one is 5 years old now.

Boomerang has always been bad with making new promos. Prior to 2019 they would just play the same promos over and over, and that was especially true pre-rebrand.

Well I don't have a problem with it per say. Just the December event is not much of an event to me, very little is changing.

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

Do you guys realize that some of the Huckleberry Hound shorts have scrolling closed captions?

Same here, I got tired with oversaturation of Tom and Jerry shows on Boomerang so it need to have diverse of different TV shows, not re-run of same shows for 12 hours per day.

As Deaf and heavily rely on closed captioning, I'm trying to remember.

Nice to see 90s All Star logo returns on Boomerang after HB shows end.
