Why You’ll Come Back To Boomerang

Boomerang, the Turner Broadcasting System owned television network, has the best line up of premier and syndicated cartoons from such network cartoon giants as Hanna-Barbera, MGM, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros.

This network, that got it’s start airing on the weekend in a four hour programming block on Cartoon Network, has been standing on it’s own feet since April of 2000.

Boomerang, airing on DirecTV’s channel 298, (and channel 1298 for Video on Demand), offers 24-hours crammed full of cartoon goodness. The thing that makes the Boomerang Channel so unique is the programming line up, and how it’s presented. Boomerang chooses a year, say 1973, and then they air cartoon TV shows from that year and era. This will help you satisfy that childhood cartoon nostalgia bug, while possibly being able to show your own children the cartoon shows that were so captivating to you at their age.

Great cartoon TV shows such as “Duck Dodges”, “Cow & Chicken”, “The Flinstones”, “The Jetsons”, “Space Ghost”, and “Mr. Magoo” among others, continue to be featured in their full comedic glory on Boomerang. There are many variety feature shows and programming blocks with interesting themes, as well as monthly cartoon character featurettes. Another interesting thing to note is the lack of product advertisement on Boomerang. Only advertisements for Boomerang or The Cartoon Network are aired.

All this cartoon nostalgia and safe entertainment for your children is a great reason to check out the Boomerang channel. Although it was originally an exclusive channel in the United States only, the Boomerang network has expanded tremendously, bringing laughs around the world.

DirecTV offers Boomerang in the Family package, which is a 40-channel package that is full of the best family oriented programming and cartoon features.
