Toonzone News WB Launches Boomerang Streaming Service Hosting Over 5,000 Classic Cartoons

Nope. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up on Tubi or CBS All Access instead

Why? Garfield and Friends (1988-1994) is owned by 9 Story Media Group, not Viacom.

Maybe so, but the Garfield brand is owned by ViacomCBS, and the Garfield specials migrated from Boomerang to Tubi.

Not TV show (1988-1994).

All of Garfield Specials got removed from Boomerang in 2018 at same time when they added TV series

Also, TMNT '87 isn't owned by Viacom either.

Didn't they coexist on the streamer at one point...?

I had to check the post's history and I just remember - all of Garfield TV specials got removed before new 2nd round of 30 episodes added last year, also they had few Garfield movies that got removed last year.

November 2018 - 30 episodes of Garfield and Friends added (1988-1989)
November 2019 - other 30 episodes of Garfield and Friends added (1989-1991)

If it is based on previous date, it could be presumed to add other 30 episodes (1991-1993) add to Boomerang in November 2020 and other final (1993-1994) on November 2021.

No one know until next week, also no one say about when Garfield TV will be expire

Amazon added many of Garfield TV specials too.

I do think that @DonTrashRoom may remember about whichever contents got removed.

Well, as of today, Boomerang is no longer on VRV.

To be fair, Boomerang has very much shown signs of slowing down. No new library content has been added since August 2019, some of the content that was announced for 2019 (The Wind in the Willows and Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs) never made it onto the service, and HBO Max has been slowly adding more content that was already available on Boomerang.

Perhaps I was right in my assumptions that WarnerMedia is winding down Boomerang, and that they're possibly gonna be absorbing it into HBO Max like they'll be doing with DC Universe.

You mean the Boomerang app is shutting down?

No, just Boomerang under VRV closed down but you can still subscribe via Boomerang app.

Also, Amazon still sell Boomerang channel.

I found very annoying to see Boomerang used segments as separate episode than include in a package so those shows should be shown as full episodes, not individual separate segments.

I noticed that Flintstone Kids are incomplete so they don't include all segments but they cut some of them out.

Well, HBO Max may eventually have you covered in the future.

One thing to consider is that Crunchyroll (VRV's parent company) is pending a potential sale to Sony. WarnerMedia might be divesting their networks from VRV in advance.

If Rooster Teeth (the only other VRV network owned by WM) is also removed, that might be the final confirmation.

UPDATE: Sony has bought Crunchyroll. No word on whether VRV will follow suit or remain with WM.

Cartoon Network's Legacy Collection (thread on that discussion here) is joining HBO Max on January 1.


Following WarnerMedia's neglect of the Boomerang app and even its separation from VRV, and classic CN and H-B shows going to HBO Max, I wonder if 2021 will be Boomerang's final year of operation. It's certainly seeming that way.

 

[superkeegan9100]

Good riddance to the Boomerang app...

 

[SG-17]

Ed, Edd n Eddy, finally! I was planning to sub to Max for the forthcoming movies, but I think I'll keep it to watch this stuff.

Yes, well, that has nothing to do with Boomerang itself. Also, they still haven't said if anything will happen to the app. Until then, we have to assume that Boomerang will stick around. Now, personally, I do wonder, but I'm not going to jump to any conclusions...

I do think that Boomerang app likely to be around for longer time unless WarnerMedia or AT&T announce to fold and move everything to HBO Max, so we don't know until surprise announcement.

However if Boomerang remove the annual plan so we may start to know like we did with DC Universe.
