![]() ![]() Gone were the days of toy bumpers and Boomeraction instead viewers were treated with reruns of The Garfield Show and Teen Titans Go, a remarkable shift of programming and a severe case of channel drift, something the network had avoided for so long. ![]() The channel went through a total rebrand, removing most of its classic programming, original bumpers and narrator, and implementing both original new shows and Cartoon Network shows from the 2010s. A month before this some of the channel's shows - primarily the older cartoons - were sent to the graveyard slots as 1990s shows like Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo took the daytime slots.ΔΆ015 is where the network went downhill. Things began changing in 2014, when Turner Broadcasting announced more advertising on Boomerang to support the network. Interestingly, as it acquired more programming it still dug deep through its archives to air shows. Commercials were not too much of a big deal for the network at the time. Eventually, in April of 2000 the block became its own channel, solely playing cartoons from Hanna-Barbera and parts of the Warner libraries. It originally ran for four hours but was bumped down to three after some time, and never really had a permanent timeslot. It featured older cartoons and was aimed towards the Baby Boomers. For those who don't know: In the early 1990s the then-fledging Cartoon Network introduced a block simply titled Boomerang. ![]()
