Juniper Lee? Wow, now there's a show I haven't seen in over a decade. Would've thought CN would have just written it off by now like Megas XLR or Symbionic Titan.

[Avaitor]

Juniper Lee was not a bad show, and I wouldn't mind checking some of it out again. But yeah, I would gladly trade it and Gym Partner for the rest of EEnE and JB not available on DVD.

It's not here for iPhones yet, sadly.

[Daikun]

The full app is out! Head to the website and check it out!

[Avaitor]

They've been using remasters for a lot of the shorts which have them!

Whoa!

[Daikun]

So, when I posted the list of shows on the beta app launch, I guess Droopy: Master Detective was on there and I missed it. Oops.

Anyway, the Toon Zone forum members did some lurking on Boomerang's website and discovered a bunch of pages for upcoming shows. Here's a list of things to expect (I'm skipping the movies, since it's just more Scoob and T&J):

Baby Looney Tunes
The Flintstones
Flintstones Kids
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop
Camp Lazlo
Codename: Kids Next Door
Captain Caveman
Tom & Jerry Tales
Teen Titans
Scooby and Scrappy-Doo
The Jetsons
Dorothy: Princess of OZ (new app-exclusive series)

Of all the Scooby movies we have and will get, Zombie Island is not on there.

It is surprising that we're getting Flintstones and Jetsons later, and not right away, since they were a big part of the promotion for this app. I'm also surprised that Jonny Quest isn't in the cards yet, since he's in that group selfie they love to share, but I'm sure we'll get it by the end of the year.

As for the CN shows we're getting, meh. Neither really interest me. I sent in a request for EEnE, Sheep, and Cow & Chicken. I'm not sure if they can stream Sheep if they wrote it off, but I would love for that to show up especially.

This Friday, the app added a handful of episodes of the new Tom & Jerry show.

That's better than nothing, but doesn't really excite me. Although I guess I should take this chance to finally check it out.

[Avaitor]

This week's additions will be a handful of New Looney Tunes Show episodes. And apparently, a few classic shorts were stealthily added in, as well.

[Avaitor]

This week's new addition were a bunch of Smurfs episodes. Nothing really exciting tbh.

I've been using this to check out some of the newer series, and I kind of dig the new Tom & Jerry show. The animation is solid in motion, and the music is pretty tight, too! It keeps the original shorts' formula down fairly well, and surprisingly isn't as talky as you'd expect. I do think the show suffers from keeping a standard 11 minute format, but it looks like they switch to a more traditional 7 minute timeframe for season 2, so I hope we get some of that soon.

I've also been giving Be Cool, Scooby-Doo more of a shot. I did not like the pilot when I tried it, but I think it's gotten a little better since then. The art style is still a cross between Family Guy and Gravity Falls, which are also its biggest comedic influences (season 1 of GF in particular), and while that combination doesn't always work out, I think it does a good job of giving the characters their own thing to do. I still prefer Mystery Incorporated, but I'm glad that they didn't try to redo that right away, and let this be its own thing. It is for the best.

Soon I'll try to get more into Wabbit/New Looney Tunes. I like what I've seen of it, which to be fair, it's been a while since I last saw some of it.

[Avaitor]

This week we're finally getting a new show- Camp Lazlo!

Which I'm not interested in, but it's nice for its fans. Still not among my first choices for a CN original, though.

[Avaitor]

Last week we got some more Juniper Lee- whatever, who cares?

This week, though, we're finally getting The Flintstones. Cool!

[Daikun]

Uncle Grandpa is joining Boomerang (the TV network, not the streaming app) next week.

Wow. Um... Okay.

[Avaitor]

That's a surprising choice. Obviously it's not long for this world, but they're still airing episodes.

I think Uncle Grandpa's a fun show, but it's not why I have this, so I'm kind of neutral.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Boomerang is just a Cartoon Network rerun channel now. They've already been playing Teen Titans Go!, Powerpuff Girls 2016, and Gumball for a while now, so it's not a surprise to see UG on the lineup, and I'd expect other current or recently ended shows to start popping up on there soon enough.

[Avaitor]

Wait, I read that wrong.

It does make some sense for it to appear on the channel, yeah.
