YES. My favorite part about Boomerang was the re-airing of Groovies:

Hell Yeah! I used to watch "Don't Blame The Koala", "Lockie Leonard", "6-Teen", "Radio Free Roscoe" and "Next!" in there.

It feels incredibly strange to me to be asked if I remember Boomerang when I can remember when Boomerang’s content was the primary content on CN proper.

I did check out Boomerang now and then, but it just never kept my attention. It also seemed to, at some point, become Cartoon Network 2, where instead of playing the old HB stuff it replayed the flagship toons from 00s Cartoon Network. Which isn’t bad, but it is an extremely odd feeling.

I remember when it was used as an excuse to prematurely and quietly cancel shows. Also when it was a way to watch literally any incarnation of Scooby Doo

Ruff & Reddy (Jambo e Ruivão) was the hot shit.

Scooby-Doo was fun to watch as a kid.

Pretty sure I watched Ruff & Reddy too.

 

[Toppis]

Yes, I remember this channel because I watched the MLP series from it

 

[Denmdm]

Not sure why I can't remember nothing richly past when I was 12... But I do remember watching Scooby Doo in it. There were more cartoons in there but they're so deep in my mind idk if I'll remember lol. Were they good?

YES. My favorite part about Boomerang was the re-airing of Groovies:

I never watched Boomerang, but I did watch CN, and I clearly remember the Josie & the Pussycats clip you posted. Always loved that one, especially since Valerie Brown looks cute as ever. (Josie looks good too, but I always liked Valerie more.)

I find it funny that their KISS pastiche rocks more than the real KISS. It's really impossible to make KISS sound as good as they are hyped up to be without taking liberties, as any attempt to be accurate will sound like a parody in light of their marketing.

It later became (atleast in latin américa) focused on live action shows, then it aired some miscelanous cartoons and some that were transfered over from CN or something, then it became cartoonito

I never had Boomerang but I watched a lot of these before they were transferred to Boomerang.

BOOMERANG DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE??

 

[Nidoking's iconNidoking]

I never watched Boomerang, but I did watch a lot of the shows ON Boomerang before Boomerang existed. A lot of Hanna-Barbera stuff, one in particular worth mentioning being Swat Kats.

Yeah, I still remember pre-Boomerang Cartoon Network. Once CN stopped airing Groovies, Boomerang was the only place to watch them. I hate knowing that it's no longer airing old cartoons (and worse, being used to quiet-cancel shows) because for a while, Boomerang was the refuge for everyone who missed the old CN.

 

[Ikagura]

I got bored because 90% of the time it was Tom & Jerry.

I don't mind but I wish they had more Tex Avery (despite the censorship regarding several scenes deemed as "outdated" from today's standard).

Boomerang. 'Lets shove all the legacy cartoons from yesteryears onto a different channel, so we can put 'newer' stuff on Cartoon network'.

Never really got a chance to watch it. The Satellite charging me over $100 to effectively just get Discovery for MythBusters was annoying and i just ended up canceling outright and didn't think it was worth it. Getting additional channels didn't seem worth it for the same reason.

Most of the Cable TV/Satellite is far too bloated that for every 50 channels of crap there's 1 channel you might actually care about. And that's intentional splitting valuable channels among several packages so you have to upgrade to get them all.

I wonder how lean these systems would be if they only did re-runs when stuff went public domain, had cheap 50 channel packages and got most of their money through commercials... No, they would still be too greedy... If Netflix and any of the others are anything to go by, once they hit their max customer count of who is willing to pay, they start raising prices... 'line must go up'

Cable and satellite were always scams. The prices weren't reasonable past the first decade or so (if that), they added commercials once they hit a high enough subscriber number after advertising it as "TV without commercials", they had a ton of redundant channels with similar low-quality content that you couldn't not subscribe to, many of the channels had or eventually changed to general trash TV, and all the really good channels were locked out through premium subscriptions (HBO, Showtime, etc) or pay-per-view (Playboy, Spice, etc).

The one saving grace of it was that, as mid as it was, it was at least normalizingly mid. That is, we've got technically and financially better options today, but at the cost of some really weird and messed up things crawling into the public consciousness via the dark and twisted mind of the algorithm. But cable/sat were also moving in that direction, so we wouldn't be better off with it now.

Boomerang itself, no. But I'm aware of alot of the cartoons showcased on it.

Boomerang died an undignified death. Back when I had cable, it rebranded into a dumping ground for shows not on Cartoon Network anymore and some random shit like My Knight and Me. They even removed the old bumpers and songs. I think it's a streaming service now.

 

[rotten51]

Me TV Toons is a pretty good stand in for Boomerrang. I remember watching Thundar the Barbarian on boomerrang more that a decade ago.

Ooooooh yeah. I remember it all too well. My family, bless them, was doing very badly during the 2008 U.S. financial crash. We dropped much of our cable at the time and most of what I had was Boomerang, Disney XD, and whatever else was cheap.


Around 2011 is when we got streaming. It’s only been 14 years since then, but a lot has changed, and at that point Netflix was all you ever could’ve wanted or needed.

Still, I’m happy I had Boomerang. Got to grow up on some classic stuff, and it was shows my family was excited to show me from their own childhood. My parents did a very good job making me feel good during a time where things were going poorly for us. I didn’t even know we were struggling until years later.
