Boomerang

[Avaitor]

I haven't seen the new Wacky Races, but I did watch a little of the Oz show, and saw the preview of Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs we were offered as Friends of Boomerang. Neither seemed like much to write home about, although we didn't really get much of the latter. But the reception for that one did not seem very strong.

I'm not surprised that these aren't catching on. I really don't think people who are subscribing to the app want new shows, at least not ones as cheap-looking like these. I do like the Warner is trying their hand at more animation again, but they're not really spending much money ob them, are they?

Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs was cancelled even before it aired it's first episode. This does not bode well.

Monchhichis FINALLY joins Boomerang either this or next week.

The Boomerang app is now adding black-and-white cartoons.

Classic Popeye shorts are now up.

This is the best thing to happen to the app in ages... except it looks like a Boomerang exclusive. I don't see any Popeye on VRV.

Codename: Kids Next Door has been added to the app.
Also, the other 3 Cartoon Cartoons (Camp Lazlo, Courage, and Gym Partner) finally have all their episodes up.

Not the CN original I wanted to see added next, but cool for its fans.

[Avaitor]

So not only has Scooby-Doo and Guess Who been added to the app, but they added a BUNCH of Looney Tunes shorts, as well as made an MGM page, which has a lot of one-offs from Tex and beyond. This is terrific, exactly what I've wanted.

Pre-2015 Boomerang is back!

For Thanksgiving weekend (Thu-Sun) Nov. 26-29, Boomerang will be airing classic cartoons all day!

Check out the schedule in this thread.

They're giving the channel attention for the first time in years. They've also been airing older CN shows again. I think Clarence is on the network for the first time in forever.

It's nice to see Boomerang be more than just the Scooby, Looney, and Tom & Jerry channel, even if only, like, 20 people have it. I just hope that some of these series will go to HBO Max. I know that Huck and Magilla are on the Boomerang app, but Max is supposed to be a wider venue, and they have been restoring most of their library.

Well it looks like Boomerang has been removed from VRV.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is more damning for the Boomerang app on its own, or for VRV. All I hope is that the content that isn't already on HBO Max joins it soon.

Content on the Boomerang app has slowed to a trickle. Barely anything premieres on it anymore. The moment it moved to VRV was the day I stopped subscribing to the app. There was no need for it when you could get much more content.

Also, Crunchyroll is pending a potential sale to Sony. I think Warner might be divesting its networks from that service in advance. If Rooster Teeth is removed, that's the final nail in VRV's coffin.

Yo Yogi! is joining October 30. Network premiere. This has never been on CN, Boomerang, or even the app. EDIT: It's been on the app since 2019. Never mind.

You know, between Taz-Mania and this, I wonder if Boomerang might be getting a resurgence under Ouweleen's leadership. It's certainly doing a lot more than CN is now, anyway.

[Daikun]

The Boomerang streaming service is shutting down September 30 and merging into Max.

It's about time they did this. They've done NOTHING with the service for years.

[Daxdiv]

I'm surprised that it didn't get the axe as soon as HBO Max made it's debut. I mean, out of all the streaming services WB had before Max, this was the one that somehow survived?
