Official Boomeraction discussion thread

[Master Toon]

It seems like Boomeraction is split into 2 halves.

The first half is:

11:30pm - The Batman
12:00am - Superfriends
12:30am - Space Ghost

and the second half is:

2:30am - Johnny Quest
3:00am - Moby Dick & Mighty Mightor
3:30am - Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimely (I'm not sure about this one. I haven't stay up long enough to see if it's a part of Boomeraction or not.)

Also, Boomerang doesn't advertise it. Boomeraction should be considered a block and it should not only be advertised but put together (not split) and put on another time slot, an earlier one. What do you guys think? Feel free to discuss anything else about Boomeraction as well.

Who cares about advertising? I'm just glad it's back at all. Remember some months back when the remaining "action" programming was a standalone Jonny Quest or Superfriends? Boomerang is really improving in this department.

No, MMoEG is a short lived cartoon from NBC's late 80's Saturday Morning Lineup based on one of Martin Short's more popular characters from Saturday Night Live.

Justice League/JLU should actually be counted as part of Boomeraction. Have no idea why it's not, though.

I do. :(

True but I wish they would make a more organized line-up.

Oh, thanks for telling me.

It should. They've made The Batman a part of it. They even made a new voice similar to the old Boomeraction voice and a montage for The Batman during breaks. You know, where the voice says "You're watching "insert cartoon name" and the camera is going crazy.

The thing is, Martin Short first played Ed Grimley on SCTV, but the character didn't become popular until he brought the character over to SNL, so now everyone associates Ed with SNL. Completely Mental Misadventures etc. was more directly based on the ED Grimley universe that was created for SNL, though.

Rightfully, the Boomeraction block should move to prime time. That having been said, I would count Justice League as part of Boomeraction, although the bumpers used are just rehashed from its CN run.

Thusly, Boomeraction runs 2 full hours nightly, set up as:

11: Justice League
11:30: The Batman
12: Super Friends
12:30: Space Ghost/other super adventure shows

Anyone notice that Frankenstein Jr. & the Impossibles has replaced the Boomerang Zoo weekends at 7 am (ET)? Unfortunately, they're not using the opening/closing credits.

Those aren't the CN bumpers. Those are the bumpers that were made for plain old Justice League (not Unlimited) when that series ran on Boomerang, they are just being used again for Justice League Unlimited.
