Boomerang UK listings September 2012

1) Mr Bean replaces the Animated Series with the Live-Action Series, which premiered in August. The timeslots stay at 6:30 and 16:00, but gets an additional slot at 19:00.
EDIT: There is No Bean in the mornings. Instead, Tom & Jerry Tales will air at 6:30.

2) Tom & Jerry will be replaced with Tom & Jerry Tales at 17:30 and 20:00. The old shorts will air at 8:00 and 14:30.

3) New Episodes of Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated continue airing at 7:30 and 17:00

4) Casper's Scare School also continues its new series at 16:30, but gets its evening slot replaced with Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated at 19:30. I surprised the series carried on making new episodes, cause the show was off the air for a long period.

5) My Spy Family and My Knight and Me get removed from Boomerang (aired since 2007 and 2009 respectively), and gets replaced by Skatoony and KikoRiki.

This has been an ongoing trend for Boomerang being a late-night secondary home for CN's former programming. First they had Gadget Boy, then they gave The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers another chance after its CN premier wasn't permanent, and then shortly Robotboy aired for a few months. Teen Titans Go aired at one point this time last year. Now, They've added Skatoony and KikoRiki, which both air after one and other and also air on CN Too, Skatoony is some quiz show where kids battle cartoon characters to win a prize (Almost always a games console), KikoRiki is a cartoon about anthropomorphic animals in a similar vein to Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Wouldn't it make sense to air some Boomerang related shows, or any CN show they no longer air? 

6) Regular Show is removed, replaced with Ben 10

October Highlights on Boomerang UK:

- Tom and Jerry marathon during half term
- New episodes of Mr. Bean at 4pm
- Doraemon is being removed completely, due to what appeared to be intentional sabotage by only airing it at 07:30 in the morning.
-  Ninjago returns to the schedule, replacing Casper's Scare School
- For some unknown reason, The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers is back on the schedule. It is on in the early mornings, replacing Doraemon, which is being removed from the schedule.
-  And finally, to which many will call the sad part of the update. Wacky Races, Dastardly & Muttley, Top Cat, Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics and The Flintstones will be removed. The 4am classics lineup is replaced with The Garfield Show and The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers, Other than that, the night schedule is more or less the same, swamped with blocks of Skatoony, The Garfield Show and KikoRiki.

It's no surprise that Doraemon hasn't been given a warmer welcome on Boomerang, and to the United Kingdom as well. As mentioned in the earlier posts, the show will be gone completely, and is being replaced with The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers. As those who weren't aware, the show premiered around the middle of July, airing only one slot a day (07:30). A new episode would air on Weekdays, followed by a repeat on Weekends. But this clearly isn't enough for a new show to broadcast. It could be that the show was at a bad time to broadcast when children/families wouldn't be awake at around 07:30/08:30 to tune in this show. And anyone who was keen to watch it probably couldn't due to poor timing, or the lack or any technology to record and catch up on the show (i.e Sky+, Tivo, etc). But the show's exclusion is a bit odd for Boomerang, It's a shame that they didn't seem to give the show a proper chance to air

Many other shows went through this problem in the past. Already brought up before was the half-season run of Tiny Toon Adventures, and the popular series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic being lost to POP!/Tiny Pop. Also leaving Boomerang is The Jungle Bunch: To The Rescue. This premiered last autumn, and later moved to late-nights in June. It has been mentioned (not official) that only Season 1 has been airing, and it's 2nd season may not be bought Turner after all. A similar fate may have been the cause for The Owl & Co, which started in October 2011, running only on weekends, and lasted only until mid-December before disappearing completely from schedule, and no trace of any comeback.


November sees a MAJOR change to the schedule.

- All airings of Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated are being replaced with Scooby-Doo and Guess Who, Ben 10 joins the daytime schedule, like how it airs over on Cartoon Network and CN Too

- It looks as though Casper's Scare School and Doraemon show no sign of ever returning, much like how Teen Titans Go felt in September 2011, when it only aired at NIGHT for 3 weeks before it was off for good.

- LazyTown, What's New Scooby-Doo and Pink Panther and Pals are being taken off the schedule, replaced by The Garfield Show, Scooby-Doo, Ben 10 and Scooby Doo & Guess Who

- The night schedule is getting a bit repetitive by this point, The schedule is still Skatoony, KikoRiki, The Garfield Show and The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers

- The Owl and Co is back, having not aired since late 2011

A change is coming to the night schedule, The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers is being removed and replaced with The Owl and Co. Guess that owl is finally getting the pedestal he deserves. Glad to see it back, Hope they do the same for Doraemon 

EDIT: The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers is NOT leaving the schedule, but it is being reduced to only a double bill at 4:00. The Owl and Co replaces it's other slots

December has no schedule changes, other than new episodes of Tom and Jerry in New York at 5pm, only other change is at Christmas, when the Christmas specials of verious shows air. Write a (still fictional) January highlights
