Boomerang (US) News & Discussion II: Rebrand

[jaylop97]

It's a good thing Tom and Jerry Tales doesn't air as much as it once did, while it still isn't any better to see that many times it repeats the same season, at least it doesn't have more reruns than that.

They fast paced the first few episodes of The Jetsons and The Flintstones back in 2012. Back in the 90s they didn't fast paced the episodes.

I guess that's to make room for more commercials.

Nowadays fast pacing is quite common, when it comes to a show's intro.

I wish they were back to normal paced instead of fast paced.

For some reason, a show titled Dempsey and Makepeace is listed on Boomerang's schedule for October 21st and 27th.

This is likely an error though. Why would Turner go out of its way to acquire such an obscure live-action British crime drama to air on a kids' animation network?

That must be an error, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says the runtime is 50 minutes, and Zap2it is saying it's running for 30 minutes...

@Cartoon Ruler That's just a Zap2it error. TitanTV shows Grizzy and the Lemmings airing at that time.

Don't believe it to have been mentioned here, and only for myself finding out minutes ago is new Grizzys still continuing Sundays at 8 with 3 new ones for the half our, with following week encores. Didn't know this and remembering it being on tonight, enjoying last week's (6) new titles. The latter half hour tomorrow will be a repeat of S2's first three. (Camping Can Be Wild, Ice & Bears, Carried Away Bear)

There's also no new episodes next weekend.

‪Regular Zap2it now has Boomerang's schedule for next week and November and it doesn't look like there are any schedule changes.‬

So they're not doing anything for Halloween this year???

‪Boomerang's not doing anything special for Halloween this year. It's just the same the regular schedule with no Halloween specials being played.‬

I was wrong about there being no schedule changes in November. Grizzy and the Lemmings will be gone from the schedule once again to be replaced by Tom & Jerry Tales airing on the weekends in the 8PM hour. Adventure Time will now be in the 9PM hour with Ben 10 now in the 10PM hour.

It will be the same as last year of December 2017, for not airing Christmas specials on Boomerang, Well It did plays some Halloween Specials back in October 2017.

I sure Boomerang will lose the rights to Grizzy and the Lemmings from the lineup.

So Grizzy goes yet again. I feel it'll be back. Not all of Season 2 has played yet. I do wish they had some consistency for it as of late though instead of on and off.

Interesting though too of the AT/B10 swap. Guess they like their Ben 10 at Ben 10PM.

I sure Boomerang will lose the rights to Grizzy and the Lemmings from the lineup.

First off, belated welcome to the forums! -- To pass along a tip, combine replies of posts to one post, mods appreciate that

As for Grizzy, I can't tell for myself what's going on in the decision made to do what they've been doing. It comes and goes randomly. Boomerang is mentioned as one of the companies it's produced for in the opening credits, but not sure if that means due to that, it's perpetual property meaning they can play it whenever they want to.
