Some New Looney Tunes stealth premieres are happening this week.

It's been happening since November 19th.

It's been happening since November 19th.

There's more of them, though. They just gone done with the latest round of Bunnicula stealth premieres.

I already know that. I've been recording them on my DVR for the last couple of weeks.

Did the shows Boomerang air in the past have closed captions?

Most of them do. If they don't have CC either it's a really old old master, or they're using the master made for Boomerang/Tooncast LA (has happened in the past).

^What are most of them?

^What are most of them?

We're speaking of the linear Boomerang US channel, right? By "most" I mean what's being broadcast/aired or what has been aired on the channel. I'd say all excluding bumpers/promos, unless if there's a glitch where the wrong master is played (as mentioned earlier), per FCC Closed Captioning standard.

I do remember some content not having CC on Cartoon Network back in 2003 though...

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

Yes, I meant Boomerang US channel.

The Looney Tunes short "A Cat's Tale" is going to air on January 4th at the 10 AM feed. That short hasn't aired in many years. In addition, "Big House Bunny" is airing on the 2nd, which doesn't air on Boomerang very often either.

Have any of you who have DirecTV noticed that the original Mega Man cartoon show is listed in the guide? But there's no way they could have picked up that show at the last minute

Likely an error. They probably meant to list Mega Man: Fully Charged.

It is indeed Mega Man: Fully Charged airing weekend nights at 8PM.

Didn't notice until today, Boomerang for at least Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! started playing a batch of S2 episodes, possibly since Monday. The 9:30 episode tonight is "Scroogey Doo". Now, I don't recall this one being shown overnight back when the episodes near it were played, so there's a possibility this isa Boomerang premier, unless I missed it on TV already. Anyone know for sure about this?

Additionally, "Halloween" which was shown free on the app/site back in '17 I'm assuming had its first TV play already given seeing it as an upcoming airing via zap2it, but an earlier episode, as I don't believe that one was done overnight either if it could be confirmed. I kept a self-certainty that and "Scroogey Doo" were the only 2 non-televised episodes, until the latter airs tonight.

 

[Toons Fan]

Both Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! episodes aired last week.

Also, @Dan's Revenge Tom & Jerry Tales still airs weekends at 8:30PM Mega Man only airs at 8PM.

You already asked that

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

^Can I message you in private?

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

There are shows without closed captions: Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Tom & Jerry Kids, Seasons 2 & 3 of The Jetsons. I can't think of any other shows.

This has nothing to do with the TV channel, but they just removed (?) Popeye from the Boomerang streaming service. Did they lose the rights or something? Boomerang | Full Episodes of Your Family’s Favorite Cartoons
