I mentioned this in another topic but I don't think anyone noticed. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up.

CN is basically stripping Boomerang and turning it into a streaming service for all WB/HB shows. $5 month.

This makes very angry because it's just expecting people to pay for a second Boomerang when the channel has been around for decades through your TV provider.

Boomerang on TV still exists but they've already taken off Be Cool Scooby Doo and Wabbit. I'm guessing Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes will be transferred too but so far they're still appearing.

actually not all cable providers provide Boomerang or they just charge you extra if you want it. I am actually glad they are starting a streaming service.

Really? It has been around for so long. It's not a premium channel like HBO. Who doesn't carry Boomerang? It's gotta be a select few providers. I'm talking in the US.

Even so I hate this. I could see it if it was some big time service like Netflix or Hulu but a streaming service for only WB/HB content? Just seems so petty. I couldn't believe it when I first read about it.

I mean come on. At least keep the new episodes on TV. (I've read this does not affect Australia)

You know all those Chuck Norris jokes? Replace Chuck with Popeye and 90% of them would be true. Popeye is the ultimate badass especially in the original comics. He's the only fictional non-super powered being I know of that walked through a hail of bullets while shouting "Go ahead and shoots me, I likes it!" His friends had to beg him to go to a hospital after that because he felt fine. Or another time he drinked from a highly poisonous river with a 100% fatality rate and all he got was a belly ache.

Absolutely love me some animated Popeye, the Fleischer Studio's cartoons that is. I never cared much for the Famous Studios cartoons or anything really that came after that. They just made him too child friendly, gone was his attitude, anger and they even seemed to forget that Popeye is missing an eye...probably to try and make him less scary for the kids. But yeah, the Fleischer Studio's Popeye shorts are full of great animation, music and ad-libbing. Definitely some of my favorite cartoons of all time.



Some of the new Mickey Mouse shorts can be absolutely stupid, mostly the dialogue heavy ones, but the ones that just rely on visuals alone are quite fantastic.



Same. I've always wished I could have Boomerang, but at least I have my DVDs.

I wanted to mention Grizzy and the Lemmings.

I've seen a few episodes and it reminds of some older cartoons. It's not "lol random" humor either. I recommend checking it out. It's on Boomerang (TV). I only see clips on YouTube.
