Cartton Network Boomerang (TV channel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Boomerang is the name of at least four TV networks owned by Cartoon Network, one in the United States, one in the United Kingdom, one in Australia and one in Spain, which shows classic animated cartoons, mainly from the Warner Brothers, MGM, and Hanna-Barbera archives. The UK channel has also screened the puppet show Thunderbirds (the U.S. rights of which are owned by G4). Formerly a segment of programming within the Cartoon Network, the channel was launched at the end of the 20th century and introduced to satellite in April 1, 2000.
The United States version of Boomerang initially carried a weekly looping programming format. Notably, Boomerang does not carry product commercials. The only advertising on the channel is for Boomerang or Cartoon Network programming.
During its looping format, which lasted through January 17, 2005, program days began at 8 AM Eastern time (5 AM Pacific time). Monday through Thursdays had been just normal programming days, with a variety of half-hour and hour-long cartoon programs shown. On Fridays, "monthly feature" cartoons were shown for the entire day; one cartoon was featured for each Friday of a given month for 24 hours straight. As of January 22, 2005, this banner became known as "monthly character of the month", and is now shown on weekends 2–4 pm eastern. On Saturdays, a calendar year was featured with the cartoons of that year (ranging from approximately 1963 to 1983, one year per week in sequence). Sundays carried the "Boomeraction" theme, with animation featuring action and adventure such as SuperFriends and Jonny Quest.
Boomerang has carried both theatrical animated shorts and television series from several libraries, including:
* Warner Brothers
o Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies (in various packages and formats)
* MGM
o Tom and Jerry
o Droopy Dog
o Screwball Squirrel
* Hanna-Barbera
o Banana Splits
o The Jetsons
o Scooby-Doo
o The Snorks
o The Smurfs
o Yogi Bear Show
* Ruby-Spears
o Thundarr the Barbarian
o Heathcliff
* Jay Ward Productions
* Total Television
o Rocky and Bullwinkle
o Underdog
* Paramount Pictures
o Popeye the Sailor
o Superman
* Sandy Frank Entertainment
o Battle of the Planets
* United Artists
o Pink Panther
o The Ant and the Aardvark
* United Productions of America
o Mr. Magoo
o Gerald McBoing-Boing
Boomerang has featured many exclusive programming blocks, such as Hanna-Barbera's Cartoon Corral, The Zoo, Boomeracers and Acme Hour (originally apart of Cartoon Network).
In the summer of 2005, Boomerang began to carry more modern series, including 2 Stupid Dogs, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Baby Looney Tunes and Duck Dodgers.
Boomerang's promotional slogan is one of nostalgia that accurately reflects its programming: "Boomerang—It's All Coming Back To You."
