This is the talkback thread for 'Johnny Bravo' debuts on Boomerang with a 12 Episode Marathon January 21, 2008 (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=20877).

And another one joins the Boom.

I'm guessing pretty much every classic Cartoon-Cartoon will make it to Boomerang eventually.

That was pretty obvious when Cow and Chicken joined Dexter and Mike, Lu and Og on Boomerang.

The only one really in question is Sheep in the Big City which CN may not actually be able to air still and thus couldn't air on Boomerang without rebuying it.

[Old School Joe]

I have to admit - Johnny Bravo is not that bad a show. However, why not have it replace another newer show like Mike, Dexter, or Cow. If your going to show newer stuff, don't burn them out so much. this is a retro channel anyway.....

[Tobias]

I predict we'll see Powerpuff Girls on Boomerang by summer.

[Darklordavaitor]

Ever since the show appeared on Boom's On Demand services, I expected the show to start on the channel by the end of '07. A little later than thought, but it's progress.

All RIGHT!!!

Just today, when Mike, Lu & Og was coming on (after the Jetsons), and I said "Why did they bring this over here, instead of something like Bravo?" and continued to wonder when they will ever get Brovo, and that that should be the next one they get, and then, PPG.
I also thought this, when seeing how they have recycled the Dexter series several times, and don't even seem to be following the order anymore. So it was about time to move on to the next series.

"Boomerang...extending its programming mission to showcase both traditional classic and “new classic” animated programs..." :cool:

[STARTOUNZ]

And it probably won't be too long before Ed, Edd, & Eddy and Codename: Kids Next Door will be on Boomerang as well, as the latter series is ending its run this coming Monday and the former finished last year. Heck, Duck Dodgers moved from CN to BOOM during its second season!:rolleyes:

[Tobias]

I'm wondering why CN/Boomerang hasn't imported Loonatics Unleashed to pair up with Duck Dodgers. LU has 26 episodes under it's belt, which is pretty much the magic number for a weekday run these days.

Boom doesn't seem all that interested in action cartoons, except for the ones featuring iconic heroes like Superman and Batman. Besides, I don't think a lot of people are clamoring to see Loonatics Unleashed re-air anywhere. IMHO, Loonatics wouldn't be that great a fit alongside Duck Dodgers; Dodgers was a straight-up comedy which featured actual Looney Tunes characters (albeit in slightly different roles), whereas LU was a toyetic boys' action cartoon starring characters who vaguely resembled Looney Tunes characters. Not really the same vibe.

'Looney Tunes of the Future' is basically the theme of both, which is more than enough comparison between the two, like how Pound Puppies and
[B]Snorks are both 'cute animal' cartoons, and Krypto and Gerald McBoing Boing are all 'Tickle U' shows. The suits in charge don't care about wether two shows fit comedically/dramatically, as long as there's a common theme, like how we have the DC block (JLU/The Batman/Superfriends)

As a Johnny Bravo fan, this makes me really happy to see him back on TV again!
