dabs, lol

Man, Boomerang was my “safe haven” from all the newer CN shows I didn’t like. I was actually awake on the night of Boomerang’s change; my sister, best friend, and I were staying up and watching Boomerang, when all of the sudden, one of the regular bumpers they played before a cartoon starts played, there was a pause, and the new Boomerang just started. We were all like, “Did you see that!? What the heck!?” Man, Boomerang was a big piece of my childhood, especially since I was born during the age in which CN was airing Cartoon Cartoon Friday’s (02), and I’ll never forget the good old days of cartoons...

I feel bad for all those kids and children in the world. Imagine a kid coming home from school at a young age. Asking his mother "mom can we watch boomerang today". The mother replies "sure son!". She turns on the TV and goes to the Boomerang Channel. The boy says "this isn't boomerang". The mother says "yes your correct it isn't". She tells her son "There must be something wrong with the channels and TV , lets wait for your father to come home from work". The father later comes home. He tries his best , trying to find the classic cartoon channel they all loved. Spending hours flipping through channels. Later the mother and father look up on the internet and read up on the new rebrand. They tell there child about it. They say not much has changed! and they show him that Looney Tunes still comes on in the morning! and that he could watch it before he went to school. The boy was filled with joy and hugged his parents. Later he turned on the TV to the channel. and he ran to his parents crying. saying it wasn't the same! His parents knew this was true. They all missed the old classic family friendly Boomerang. They missed the old times of telling their son about how they grew up and how they watched TV. and showing him their favorite shows as a child on boomerang. They all missed the classic toy bumpers. and happy music. They later stopped playing Looney Tunes the child's favorite show. His parents then got him the best Christmas present ever. They bought every episode of all his favorite Hanah-Barbera and Warner Brothers and every other show. But the most important thing of all. They could enjoy family time together watching cartoons. All again! tho it wasn't the same and they missed Boomerang deeply. *Imagine if this was a true story. or if something similar is happening. I might only be 12 years old but I love old things , tv shows , and music. And I grew up watching Boomerang. The real Boomerang. I was sad when I saw what it had become. You are right ITS BASICALLY A CARTOON NETWORK 2.0! This was a great short documentary! thanks for making it! -Henry*

I missed the time where I could go to Boomerang to watch the Tom Cat cartoons to relive the days when I first watched it . now it's just a program that offers hollow reruns. thanks for reminding us how big Boomerang was, Bruce.

Boomerang was a large part of my early years and gave me a wonderful love of cartoons. I had the experience of growing up with quality cartoon programming for so many years, and to see that pretty much destroyed is terrible. Those bumpers gave me a huge nostalgia wave. Great video Bruce, and thanks for talking about this!

I miss the old boomerang. I miss the old logo and version

I forgot how nostalgic I was for the boomerang music and bumpers. also it was cool that you mentioned tooncast, I didn't know that it was it's own channel in other countries, but over here in Brazil it was an animation block they'd have on weekend mornings, now that CN is updated I don't know if they still have it.

I remember waking up that morning to see my life change forever. This will leave a scar where nostalgia is in everyone's heart.

I used to watch Boomerang at my grandparents house and the day my family got it we all watched it as a family. We spent hours watching The Jetsons, Looney Toons and The Flintstones. And sometimes we even would tune in to the channel when there was nothing on. It was a wonderful time.

when I was younger after I got back from school I would watch boomerang for the original teen titans

Man those commercials bring so much nostalgia. When I was little I would go over my Aunts house, run upstairs & turn straight to Boomerang. It had such a chill feel to it. The TV shows were great ❤️

I have old memories of watching Cartoon Network all day as a kid and I had a TV in my room and my parents wouldn't let me watch adult swim so I'd watch Boomerang till I'd get tired. As of 2015 my family and I decided to cut off cable as a way to save money, I'm sorta glad I didn't get to see the boomerang I grew up loving drastically change...

No I loved the old format of Boomerang. I was watching that all day. It was so many good toons in that channel. I miss it.

Great video, Bruce! I remember begging my mom as a kid to order Boomerang. Helped me to rediscover all the classic cartoons.

Used to, this was a channel I had on my TV 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (or 366 if it's a leap year) since I got it back in 2004, I miss Boomerang the way it was, instead of it now being nothing but crap, that 2015 reboot was a complete giant middle finger to those who loved the old cartoons that was shown on this channel. Rest in peace Boomerang: 2000-2014

Before Boomerang changed, it was my go-to channel. If nothing good was on, channel 124 was my savior from boredom. After boomerang changed, never again. If I ever went to channel 124 by instinct, it's only a mistake now unfortunately.

I remember growing up watching the Boomerang channel when it was a new channel before and after I entered kindergarten (2000) at the time, the commercials, shows, etc. Boomerang was where I could go for many years to watch Hanna Barbera, Tom and Jerry, and Looney Tunes. I vaguely remember watching The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones (1987) around that time. I've been a Scooby Doo fan the majority of my life and as of last year, officially got interested in collecting and watching the Hanna Barbera library, some that Warner Brothers has yet to release on DVD sets like Quick Draw Mcgraw. Boomerang was where you could watch a lot of H-B's more rare and obscure work. It's a shame to see what's become of the channel and I don't like the change. Long live the old Boomerang! Thanks for sharing this video!

I miss the old music and bumpers. I never actually liked it that much, but when something I actually wanted to watch came on, I watched it. I honestly fucking hate it as it is now. I just don't like it. It's basically a Sonic Boom channel for me now.

WARNING: Rant starting in 3... 2... 1... Well, I used to watch the Boomerang channel a whole lot (since I was 4... now i'm 12). After awhile I stopped watching it and moved onto other cartoon stations. And now I have to agree also that changing it to be like this is terrible. My mom loved me and my siblings watching it to show us stuff my grandma and her used to watch. And i agree. #ItsAllComingBackToYa

Thank you so much for doing a recent Boomerang video! Not many people talk about how much Boomerang has changed or what it used to be! I appreciate it!

Boomerang used to be a great channel showing old school cartoons for younger generation to have a chance to watch and have a great time with them. Along with older generation to still have great time with them. I can't believe Boomerang becomes like this nowadays, but that proves that lot of great things do change over time whether better or in this case, worse. Anybody know 2 Stupid Dogs? That's my show on Boomerang! Since Boomerang is new Cartoon Network 2.0 now, how can I watch 2 Stupid Dogs on TV now :(

We used to watch boomerang in the mornings from the 2000s to the early 2010s when we were kids. Boomerang is like a Gen z thing

I remember the Boomerang Channel. When I was either 5 or 6 years old, whenever I went to my dad's house on the weekends, I would watch The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, etc. on the Boomerang Channel. Even when I came home from school in 5th Grade, I would watch shows on Boomerang right after I got my homework done. Boomerang is still one of my favorite TV channels that I love watching today. I just wish they brought back the old cartoons, especially Popeye. The new boomerang is worse than it was before. It's terrible. The classic cartoons are much better. I also remember the old bumpers, too. The classic Boomerang Channel brings back so many memories. Now I'm feeling nostalgic. This channel was my childhood.

Even if the streaming thing isn't a complete success and doesn't last forever, Cartoon Network would definitely take notice if it turned out that classic cartoons were being streamed more often than the newer stuff in the mobile platform. Boomerang's problem is simply availability, I loved watching the old version of it when I lived in Providence, but now I'm back in Vermont, our only option here is Comcast. Even if they do carry it by now it wouldn't be worth buying the cable package required to watch it (and I don't want to watch it at all now anyway even if it was free). But there is a market for classics if you cast a wide enough net, which is why classic Boomerang would be perfect as a digital subchannel. It would barely cost them anything, they could even just use the toy bumpers again and literally all they would have to do is run the feed. The subchannels are practically designed for retro TV and it's mostly what you see on them. The only thing missing from subchannels is kid's programming, right now all antenna users have for that is PBS kids (which used to also be a premium kid's channel that didn't do well and went off the air for a while, returning only recently as a cheaper to produce subchannel).

Holy crap. Those bumpers really brought me back with an almost overwhelming sense of nostalgia.

Aah the old Boomerang that inspired me to collect the toys in the bumpers since I wanted them so bad as a kid.

Bring Back the old boomerang. The new boomerang haves the same logo as Cartoon network

So much nostalgic!

Boomeraction was what I liked during 2010-2014.

Boomerang used to be that channel I go to whenever Cartoon Network doesn't have anything good on the fact I could watch Cartoons from my childhood until I was 18 was great times for me just seeing the Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, and Dexter Laboratory was just amazing stuff now it's just unwatchable since a lot of the programs are other stuff CN show on their regular channel, Cartoons that did horrible on Cartoon Network and are now push to Boomerang to die, Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, and Looney Tunes, and occasional old shows that play during midnight which let's be real nobody is going to stay up to watch old cartoons from their childhood not even people in their teens. I lost hope when Teen Titans Go poison Boomerang with it's present and overstay it's welcome like it did on Cartoon Network they had me surprise one week when I saw episodes of Kids Next Door I thought CN was FINALLY returning back to what Boomerang was made for (and a chance to show CN that there's still an audience for Kids Next Door like with Samurai Jack) but fuck us because not even a month past and Boomerang was back to playing Teen Titans Go like that spoil first child everybody had. And don't even get me started with Boomerang theater what a bunch of misleading clickbait piece of networking bullshit the commercials talk about showing all our favorite movies even showing movies like Scooby Doo in the Cyber Chase, KND Operation Zero, etc. but guess what plays all the fucking time Scooby fucking Doo. I love Scooby Doo as much as the next guy doesn't mean I want to see his movie every single weekend come on that commercial promise us variety and their only showing movies from one franchise and those are the same movies that 9 time out of 10 people already seen and have no real reason to watch it again 2 weeks from now where's the obscure stuff like the Dexter Laboratory movie, The Powerpuff Girls movie, Grim Adventure of Billy and Mandy Big Boogery Adventure, etc. I want to see those instead of Scooby Doo XYZ the movie.

I feel nostalgic watching this video. I'm glad that I got the chance to watch old boomerang before it rebranded back in 2015.Boomerang was pretty much the last channel to show classic Saturday morning cartoons.

(I think this was in 2010-11, I forget.) I remember one day at daycare, I didn't feel very good, so my dad came to pick me up. Well recently at the time my dad changed cable so we now have AT&T, so he just finished assembling everything, etc. I turned on the TV and laid down on the couch in the living room. The first channel that popped up was Boomerang, I remember Dexter's Laboratory was on so I left it there (FAV SHOW) and laid down and watched.. memories...

Boomerang was the best channel I never owned. I loved watching it at other people's houses or during the free preview weeks direct TV would have

When I Retire I'm Gonna Get All My Favorite Toons on DVD and Do It Yourself Boomerang Network and Be a 1960s Kid Again.

I remember this other rebrand before the present boomerang. Bye. I will miss you

To be honest when I was a kid I loved Boomerang more than Cartoon Network. Since it 24 hrs I would watch cool and classic cartoons nonstop. I would watch Looney Tunes, The Batman, Justice League, etc. Now it sucks so bad I wouldn't even dare watch to see if they have changed again. RIP Boomerang 1990s - 2010s

I remember staying up at 11/12 at night just to Watch samurai Jack.

RIP CN, BOOMARANG, Disney Channel.

I used to watch scooby doo on boomerang

This video woke me up at 2:48 in the morning. That being said, I finally checked who made it 3 hours later and was pleasantly surprised.

BRING BACK OLD BOOMERANG THEME!

I wouldn't care if the old Boomerang was repeating shows and bumpers. At least I prefer to the 2000's version over 2015 rebranding.

good vidya, bruce. videos that revolve around some form of animation history are always 👌 kind of a shame this was boomerang's fate, but i get why, i guess. keep up the work B]

I miss the old Boomerang. I used to watch it EVERY DAY till what, midnight? Now that I see it, it's not the Boomerang I know and love. #ItsAllComingBackToYa

I miss the old boomerang

Why would they have Teen Titans GO on Boomerang anyway? At least play the original Teen Titans!

Thank you for making thes video i mis the old boomerang

I remember the day Boomerang changed, it really sucked. But I saw it coming, I just didn't see it come quickly. I have to say Boomerang had the best bumpers I have ever seen.

who remembers Tom and Jerrys slamfest marathon ?

My fav channel as a kid born in the early 2000s

Here in latin America sometime in the early 2000s they decided that it would be a good idea to make the channel a channel for teenagers

love the vids

I remember when I was little. I remember sitting in a dark room with the TV on, looking at the bumpers. I miss it

Who cares about boomerang, when we could be talking about jetix. (cricket sounds)

I loved Boomeraction damn it teen titans go.

You don't pay much attention to what you have until it is gone...

I reccomend you check the schedule for this week, there is proof that it’s changing for the better

I remember waking up the day boomerang changed and noticed the changes I was in kindergarten at the time

Getting Comcast was one of the worst mistakes of my young life. It was during the beginning of the second dark age of animation 2009-Present Avatar vanished, Billy & Mandy died, SpongeBob was getting moldy, then the 2010's cringetoons hit the scene and forever ruins the utopian world of TV, I then fled to the internet and this is where we are now. Later when I got Dish back I was appalled what they did to the once wonderful channel I kept coming back to.

I got an idea, send this to everyone you know. We will save up money, send it to the guy who made this and buy boomerang back!!

I really wish Turner kept Boomerang exactly how it was

Sick thumbnail dude!

Thank God for Internet streamong services that can air old boomerang shows

I actually remember the day Boomerang rebranded. Yeah I thought it sucked but I still watched it for like a year after

I think I had a memory of watching old boomerang with my cousin and it was showing what I believe was a scooby doo movie

Thanks for the information, I wanted to know more about what happeded to boomerang. My idea for boomerang is for them to be more like tooncast, where they aired recent and old cartoons. However, I whould like them to air shows that where cancelled from 2008 and older, and still air the vary old Hana Barbara cartoons. Another idea is to also cast shows from allover the world we never got to see, in english dubs, of corse. And why not air some old adult swim cartoons. Well not every night at least. All of theses changes will bring over new kids for cartoon network shows that they never go to see, older people for the adultswim, redubs, and old english cartoons, and people from other countries to watch the redubs, for at least to see one or 2 cartoons they watched as kids.

I want old boomerang back you know why.Let me tell you.When I first moved to dersale it was late at night and I was 6 years old when we turned on the TV I saw boomerang and the first show I watched was tom and Jerry and the next day I watched boomerang again then I saw the part older cartoons I'm 11 now and now they turned boomerang into a complete nothing like trash I want old boomerang back now days cartoons are completely trash I want old boomerang back.This is how I look like when old boomerang is gone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

If I worked for Turner, I'd turn HLN into Tooncast America.

I Used To Watch Boomerang at my Grandma's House I Remember Watching Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd N Eddy, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Cow And Chicken, And a lot of Old Classic Cartoons On The Channel, Now They Don't Have Them Anymore Which Sucks.

I grew up with the old boomerang and I loved it when I was 5 I already knew the schedule and when everything change i was so pisses i didn't talk to anyone in school for 2 days

I miss old Boomerang

I miss the Centurions and the Silverhawks very much! Boy, I wish they're back again!

Just rename boomerang to Cartoon Network 2 and create a third channel to bring back the old boomerang

it's was big part of my early years too

4:00 Don’t act like I didn’t hear you stutter, Boomeranger!

Your the first KZfaqr who Ever like my comment

just get the boomerang streaming service when it comes out bro

Yesterday I saw a new episode of Sonic Boom on BOOMERANG!

Turner Company Turned Hanna Barbera Company Into A Joke What A Disgrace

Let's make a petition

I miss boomerang cartoon network old one

why isn't boomerang coming back I'm sorry I had to do this

I like old boomerang.

I don't have to play Fallout with a controller anymore, I can just watch the new boomerang because it's a wasteland of lost dreams.

R.I.P. to us Comcast users that only had Boomerang On Demand, had to go to someone else’s house to watch the Boomerang channel :(

Bro i miss how boomerang used to be i still watch it of course but i miss the bumpers the little music video breaks all of it

I wish the rebrand didn't happen, but it does seem kinda depressing thinking about a channel that plays the same old bumpers and shows forever and ever while nobody watches it.

"...by adding a world where the characters can live and grow." Guess they haven't heard of the city era.

Boomerang is rare with good old shows for rare shows they are ed edd n eddy fosters home for imaginary friends dextars labatory witch still has bumpers Johnny test original teen titans and more

Who else is watchin today in spirit of Boomerang commin on this day?

Good news boomerang has changed

that's not how it went. What happened was that the block still aired regular. And what really happened was they complete changed Boomerang in 2000. They didn't change boomerang at all until 2000

I still watching bomarang

Bring back all the old cartoons and old boomerang is better

This was really good! Do you think you can do one for Jetix?

I remember when boomerang was good and thriving with life and I used watch Dexter Johnny bravo The Powerpuff Girls and Pokémon Diamond and pearl and I wish I could go back to those days

I've first watched Boomerang Network in September of 2005 during Labor Day at my friend's house and I absolutely loved it! I didn't, however, get Boomerang Network channel until early-March 2008 when my mom switched to the U-verse--replacing Comcast. As of right now, todays' Boomerang Network is DEAD to me as a lot of great content was either reduced to late-night early-morning hours or removed completely and the new but soon-to-be-launched BS Boomerang streaming service isn't gonna help either.

I agree with what you said about what Boomerang used to be why don't they have where is like when you have satellite TV when you get two different Cartoon Network channels why don't they have a second boomerang from Cartoon Network all coming back to you that we've been a good idea and thank you for making this video of the history of Boomerang from Cartoon Network It's All Coming Back To You and one thing I think you should have added it just my opinion of your video the show the last time they had the old version of the original version of Boomerang from Cartoon Network It's All Coming Back To You changing to the new version of boomerang from Cartoon Network at the end of your video the last piece of it I get 5 stars 5 Boomerang symbols it really helped me learn why they changed Boomerang the way I liked it when I was younger and when it got started

I understand too but they at least kept the old logo and re-brand boomeraction like toonami and the only one they kept was boomerang theater

Yet you still can't watch boomerang on xfinity
