Boomerang (1992-2014)

Boomerang (formerly referred to as Boomerang from Cartoon Network) is an American cable television network and streaming service owned by Warner Bros. Discovery Networks, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery.

It was launched as a programming block on Cartoon Network on December 8, 1992, before launching it own channel on April 1, 2000.

Why It Used To All Come Back To You

 * 1) It was focusing on classic cartoons from the WB library:
 * 2) Warner Bros. Cartoons/Warner Bros. Animation: (Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, The Bugs Bunny Show, Duck Dodgers, The Looney Tunes Show).
 * 3) mh:greatestmovies:Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (pre-1986): (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, MGM cartoons).
 * 4) DC Comics: (Super Friends, Batman, Superman, Justice League, Teen Titans, Young Justice).
 * 5) Hanna-Barbera: (Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron).
 * 6) Other properties: (Popeye the Sailor, ThunderCats).
 * 7) Boomerang also airs reruns of Cartoon Network shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, and The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, and also acquired shows like The Pink Panther Show and Pokémon.
 * 8) Among many others, and eventually grew into its own separate channel in 2000, it also aired most of the shows for the marathon, such as Boomeraction and Boomerang 10-Day Marathon.
 * 9) Boomerang would also air some films from mh:greatestmovies:Warner Bros. as well as other studios during marathons and holidays.
 * 10) Ever since 2004, when the programming block ended, most of the classic shows (with the exception of Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry) moved to Boomerang's main channel, so that Cartoon Network would air new programming.
 * 11) The websites for games and videos were great back then, and the commercials, bumpers and promos were also fun to watch.
 * 12) It even paid to the tribute for the people during the block on Cartoon Network, such as William Hanna, Joseph Barbera and Chuck Jones.
 * 13) Boomerang was also launched in other countries as well, such as Mexico, Brazil, UK, and the rest of Europe.
 * 14) Its theme song (composed by Michael Kohler and Marcus Miller) was amazing.
 * 15) Since 2017, Boomerang launched an over-the-top subscription service focusing on classic cartoons.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The channel has been going downhill since 2015, due to removing most of the classic cartoons and/or placing them in death slots as well as rebranding the logo.
 * 2) *Speaking of which, they never got a chance to air some shows like Sheep in the Big City,   Time Squad and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.
 * 3) *They even began to air original programming focusing primarily on reboots of popular legacy franchises such as Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Scooby-Doo. Though the reboots here can range from good (The Tom and Jerry Show (2014), New Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?) to mediocre (mh:terribletvshows:Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!) to bad (the 2017 Wacky Races reboot).
 * 4) While many of the bumpers were memorable, some of them were scary! The theme song for Boomerang, while awesome, is unsettling due to the amount on synths it uses, and the fact that it's in a minor key and very bombastic and plays with little to no warning.
 * 5) *Some of the bumpers would also have characters invade the audience's personal space.
 * 6) *Special say goes to their Boomerang-A-Long bumper, which would start with a red ball giving several heads concussions and end with two at the end give you a direct cold stare with evil smiles. The ending isn't as bad... only we see all of the heads, and one of them is staring at us with that evil, demonic, and satanic facial expression, which gives the impression that it's set in Hell. Remember, this is a network primarily watched by children.
