The Downfall of Boomerang
Рет қаралды 83,342
Күн бұрынit's been 24 years exactly since Boomerang officially launched as a spin-off of Cartoon Network. With the catchphrase "it's all coming back to you" the channel was advertised as being "designed for the whole family" yet it would be destroyed by that very same concept years later.
Boomerang was truly a one-of-a-kind unique viewing experience & i'm convinced those bumpers will be stuck with me forever! Luckily compared to other channels i've covered this story has a bit of a happier ending.

The new cartoons they have now sucks and the only time I watch it is when they show reruns of Bob's Burgers on adults swim. Glad she did this video on the classic Boomerang. As for me I think the only way for me to watch Boomerang is to go online or through an app, not really sure.

Sure, I love the Boomerang logo when it was just a weird-looking "B" or the international "cursive" logo like always, but I just think the 2014/15 logo, at least, has some charm and look unique than that horrible LA logo. Idc. The 2006-2014 Latin American Boomerang logo has to be one of the worst logo rebrands I've ever seen imo.

I was a Boomerang kid. My mom was picky about what shows we could and wouldn't watch. (Even most Nicktoons were banned except for the DreamWorks imports and, of course, Spongebob.)

Thank you so much for making this. It's unfortunate that this happened. I'm apart of the Boomerang Lost Media community and a lot of these original bumpers have been lost and haven't been found in years, some since 2015, and some have been lost since as early as 2000. This channel gave me so much joy as a kid and it's great to see videos being made about it even some 9 years after the rebrand. You should be proud, keep up the great work, Lula. ♥

God those are so fucking annoying. I hate how the Tom & Jerry one constantly switches between "What's the matter with that crazy cat?" and "Where's your sense of humor," and taking random dialogue to try and match it to the rhythm of the music playing. Then there's the other one where he's describing all of the factory-produced, bland and boring Scooby-Doo and Tom & Jerry movies, where the former is just a bunch of padded out episodes, and the latter is just some random premise with the 2 shoehorned in. Oh and Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo every few months I guess. It's like they forgot the channel even existed.

Also, no one I talk to has ever heard of the Jetsons, so I feel so validated.

I remember seeing the episode of Powerpuff Girls where Mojo babysits the girls(AKA the one where the mayor is playing Zelda and kills Navi)and the one where everyone switches bodies. I also remember also seeing the episode of Johnny Bravo where pretends to be a superhero and fights the candy guy. I really wish I had seen more of the original Boomerang because it sounds like they had a ton of stuff on it. I really don’t get what the point of the revamp was if the whole point was airing classic shows. Especially since, as you said, they tried to fix what wasn’t broken.

Boomerang’s existence never had to do with CN’s content. After-all it started off in 1992 apart of CN when the channel was just getting started & hadn’t released any originals yet.

I have absolutely no clue if its related to why Boomerang decided to rebrand, but as a kid I do recall seeing a lot of posts online, especially in forums complaining about how Boomerang constantly played the same bumpers and had the same shows in circulation. Many of those people seemed to be very vocal about wanting Boomerang to change, though the things they were asking for were new updated bumpers, more shorts to play between shows, and to put more old shows into circulation. I remember being VERY perplexed when the rebrand happened though I can confirm that while they did indeed play TTG on there for some reason after the rebrand, they did play the original Teen Titans as I did catch a few episodes sometimes at night.

Boomerang rebranded because CN wanted to relaunch it as a powerhouse brand next to the flagship CN and Adult Swim brands..... it was a plan that ultimately didnt work out and in the past year or so, they reverted to the old format (though it remains to be seen)

The Boomerang downfall is very similar to TV Land's shift from classic programming. I'm grateful to have grown up with these channels when they showed iconic shows.

It's not often you see a TV channel return to form, once it has decayed, but Boomerang has managed to pull it off. The channel has been the best for the past year or so than it has for many years. The only thing missing is the old bumpers. Now, if only Nicktoons can take some cues from Boomerang.

Boomerang was how I got exposed to so many great shows, cow and chicken, Dexter's lab, PPG, teen titans, samurai jack. I wouldn't have been exposed to All these classic shows if it weren't for boomerang.

I'm from honduras, I'm not entirely sure if on all latin america this happened (mayority did I think) but Boomerang, as a channel, doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced by a Pre-school block called cartoonito. Not only that but in here there is a channel/block that has Boomerang's purpose, showing old cartoons. The channel is called tooncast

I lived with my mom practically my entire life. She was never restrictive about the kind of cartoons that I could be exposed to in my youth (I was allowed to watch ANYTHING that was rated below TV-PG or TV-14 and had to use a PIN code to watch anything above that rating . . . at least in my room); I had a particularly close association, in terms of viewership, with Nickelodeon (a statement you could take the wrong way nowadays, especially after _you know what_ . . . ). However, I had a real fondness for Boomerang because it was my first exposure to cartoons made well before even my mom was born and those made during my mom's childhood and a lot of the other pre-Nicktoons childhoods. I remember seeing the old theatrical MGM cartoons on the channel, as well as much of the pre-Cartoon Network Hanna-Barbera library. My late 2000s to early 2010s partial obsession with _The Powerpuff Girls_ (which, in its original run, was most popular among representatives of Generation X) also was fostered on Boomerang. And yes, I remember those bumpers; recently, I found the "walking around in circles" one that I most remember about Boomerang; I saw that one when I was nine and thought of it upon seeing this video. It's actually gotten over a million views on KZfaq.

I have this really weird experience as someone born in 1996 where on the weekends I would go to my Grandma's in the very early 2000s and would watch Boomerang. So I actually got to experience Boomerang around the same age that the kids at the time of the actual airing was. It wasn't like I was watching "old cartoons", it was just cartoons to me. I hope to give my kids the same experience.

Cartoonito has replaced a few of them

Good news, I think this video tapped outside of your normal algorithm demographic. I've never seen you recommended before and most of your retrospectives look a wee outside 30+ males. That being said, I frickin loved this era of CN. Their Cartoon Cartoons were generally a step above the contemporary Nicktoons and Scooby-Doo (...pre Scrappy and Pup Named...) was a particular retro favorite of mine. Props for mentioning the music videos. I still kinda remember some Jabberjaw lyrics to this day cuz that was a certified banger.

26 here. I remember my first surprise at Boomerang's drift toward the newer was...not so much the introduction of Pokemon, but when it first reached the Diamond & Pearl season in the 2010s. I still was ultimately okay with it, just because I had an understanding of nostalgia, but it still felt weirdly recent for the channel that made its name on Hanna-Barbera reruns. Sometime several years on, I think well after the big redesign, I tuned back in out of curiosity and was almost immediately met with a bumper hawking _Sonic Boom?_ _While it was still airing on the main channel???_ I switched right back off of it.

I have a very nostalgic place in my heart for Boomerang. I didn’t get the channel at my house, but I’d go to a relatives house and they had it. I very much remember watching Pink Panther (which is on your shirt)! And those bumpers with the windup toys and the guy saying “You’re watching Boomerang, from Cartoon Network” is so nostalgic! And nice intro!

As a child of 2004 i know that Boomerang is why I'm aware of Hanna- Barbera classics and classic looney toons, Tom and Jerry, etc. I used to adore the bumpers especially Josie and the Pussycats. I remember being so upset when they rebranded in 2014-15 and it definitely is why i stopped watching it.
