Boomerang UK March 2013 Highlights (Note: This is in this alternate universe)

Few changes to the Weekday schedule are:
The preschool morning block has FINALLY GONE. New Episodes of The Garfield Show will premiere from 4th March. He’ll been replacing Mr Bean at 7:00 and 16:00. In Fact, Mr Bean will be officially gone from the schedule. Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries makes another return to Boomerang, only airing on Weekdays at 19:30, which is followed by Pink Panther and Pals returning to Weekdays at 20:00. Wednesdays will have a film at 18:00.

New show Chaotic airs at 16:30, replacing The Owl & Co, which is now gone

As i’ve probably mentioned before, Sylvester & Tweety and Duck Dodgers tend to be the only shows that come back here and then. No consideration for Taz-Mania or any other Looney Tunes related programs, apart from Baby Looney Tunes which airs on Cartoonito. There was a promo years back with clips from Taz-Mania, but there was never any airings of that show at all. Same with when they had a “Laugh-Out-Loud” block. The promo had clips for Pink Panther (90s series), but they just stuck with the old cartoons with The Inspector and Ant & The Aardvark.

Night-time still consists of Skatoony, Garfield, KikoRiki and Will & Dewitt

Boomerang UK April 2013 Highlights (Note: This is in this alternate universe)

April brings a fresh breeze into Boomerang UK’s lineup with the introduction of some new shows as well as seasonal specials that look to invigorate the schedule. “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends” makes its return to Boomerang, with episodes airing weekdays at 17:00, replacing “Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated,” which will shift to a new time slot at 18:30. The inclusion of “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends” is sure to excite fans who’ve missed the delightful adventures of Mac and Bloo.

Easter is around the corner, and Boomerang has planned an exciting “Easter Bonanza” weekend featuring back-to-back episodes of “The Garfield Show” along with Easter-themed episodes of classic shows including “Tom & Jerry” and “Looney Tunes.” This special block promises to bring a festive mood to the channel, running from Good Friday through Easter Monday.

However, beyond these additions and seasonal specials, the daily schedule on Boomerang UK seems to have stagnated. Repeated airings of “The Garfield Show” fill multiple time slots throughout the day, dominating the programming from morning until late at night. At peak evening times, “The Garfield Show” is scheduled for an hour-long block from 21:00 to 22:00, followed by the same layup of “Skatoony,” “KikoRiki,” and “Will & Dewitt” rotating throughout the late hours until morning.

While the return of Foster’s Home and the Easter festivities are highlights for April, the over-reliance on “The Garfield Show” and repetitive nighttime programming calls for a critique. The lack of diversity in the nighttime slots, with the same sequence of shows, might not be enough to keep viewers engaged, especially older audiences who are looking for more variety and less predictability in the viewing schedule.

Parents and older viewers might be starting to express their desire for a revamp or at least a shuffling of shows to prevent the schedule from becoming too monotonous. Nostalgic series and a broader mix of new and old animations could potentially be an improvement, providing something for every viewer at every hour.

If Boomerang UK continues on this path without addressing the monotony, they risk losing a significant portion of their audience who might switch over to more varied programming available on other children’s networks. There is a hopeful note that the management will recognize the need for a more engaging and diverse schedule, particularly during the lineup from evening to late night, to maintain its place as a beloved family channel. Write a follow up in May where Spider Riders is new, also the Adrenalini Brothers and The Owl & Co return to the channel
Boomerang UK May 2013 Highlights (Note: This is in this alternate universe)

May on Boomerang UK sees yet another shuffle in its programming, introducing new shows to the lineup and welcoming back a couple of old favorites. One of the most notable introductions is “Spider Riders,” set to air weekdays at 16:30, replacing “Chaotic.” With its unique blend of action and adventure, “Spider Riders” promises to captivate the imaginations of both new viewers and fans of the series, who will be looking forward to the adventures in the Inner World alongside Hunter Steele and his spider partner, Shadow.

This month also sees the return of “The Adrenalini Brothers” and “The Owl & Co.” While “The Adrenalini Brothers” fills the post-dinner slot at 18:00, immediately sparking energy with their daredevil antics in exotic locations, “The Owl & Co” takes over the earlier timeslot at 14:30. These returns are part of Boomerang’s attempt to inject some variety and excitement back into its schedule and draw in audiences who enjoy slapstick humor and light-hearted storytelling.

Despite these fresh changes, the core issue from April continues as the channel seems to lean heavily on certain shows. Once again, “The Garfield Show” dominates multiple slots throughout the day. Although it remains popular among younger viewers, the redundancy may not sit well with a broader audience. There’s a repetitive pattern where after the excitement of new additions in the afternoon, the evening continues to be heavily padded with back-to-back episodes of “The Garfield Show.”

Moreover, the late-night programming continues to be a carousel of “Skatoony,” “KikoRiki,” and “Will & Dewitt.” This combination, while enjoyable, has become quite predictable and might not be robust enough to hold the interest of viewers night after night, shedding light on the critical need for diversification in programming especially during prime viewing times.

While the inclusion of Spider Riders and the return of “The Adrenalini Brothers” and “The Owl & Co” provide fresh content, the challenge remains for Boomerang UK to balance its schedule to cater to a wider demographic. The channel would benefit from integrating more varied programming during the evening and late-night slots, potentially incorporating more classic cartoons, fan-favorites from different genres, and perhaps even introducing themed nights or movie weekends.

Observers and fans will be watching closely to see if Boomerang UK can address viewers’ concerns about repetitiveness and diversity in their programming. It will be crucial for the channel’s continued success to evolve and adapt in ways that please a diverse audience, ensuring it remains a top contender among children’s entertainment channels in the competitive UK market.

Thread Title: Why is Boomerang UK’s Night Schedule So Monotonous? How Long Has This Been Going On?

Post by AnimationFan1990:
Hello everyone,

I’ve been tuning into Boomerang UK for quite a while now, especially during the late-night hours. Lately, I can’t help but notice just how monotonous the lineup has become. It’s the same loop of “Skatoony,” “KikoRiki,” “Will & Dewitt,” and a heavy dose of “The Garfield Show.” This pattern seems to dominate from about 9 PM till the early morning hours.

Has anyone else noticed this? How long has this been going on? I remember a time when there was a bit more variety during these hours. Shows like “Duck Dodgers” and “Taz-Mania” used to pop up often. Even some classic shorts mixed in would break up the monotony.

Reply by ToonLover85:
I’ve noticed the same thing! I think it started becoming particularly noticeable a few months back. I guess since around the start of this year? It seems like they started relying heavily on a few shows to fill those slots, and it hasn’t changed much since. It’s definitely becoming a bit dull.

Reply by ClassicCartoonFan:
Absolutely agree, @AnimationFan1990 and @ToonLover85. The repetition isn’t just monotonous but also frustrating for a long-term viewer like myself. It seems like the nighttime scheduler just set it on repeat and forgot about it. Variety is the spice of life, and right now, Boomerang’s night schedule seriously lacks spice!

Reply by ModernToonsRock:
Yeah, it’s a bummer. Are the ratings for these specific shows exceptionally good or something? Maybe that’s why they keep pushing them so heavily? “The Garfield Show” does cater to a lot of younger audiences, but even then, variety could really enhance their viewership more, I believe.

Reply by NightOwlAnimator:
From what I can gather, “The Garfield Show” does pretty well among kids. They probably think it’s a safe bet to keep audiences with familiar content. But they seriously need to think about their wider audience and throw in some classics or other recent shows to keep everyone else interested.

Reply by ToonFanatic92:
Any suggestions on how we might get this feedback to Boomerang? It might be a long shot, but if enough of us feel this way, could we influence a change? Maybe a coordinated email day where we all send in our thoughts on their programming?

Reply by AnimationFan1990:
That’s an idea, @ToonFanatic92! Also, perhaps engaging with them on social media could raise some visibility. If they see enough fans echoing the same sentiment, maybe they’ll consider shuffling things up a bit.

Let’s brainstorm some more on this and maybe start a campaign. Thanks everyone for weighing in. It’s good to see I’m not the only one who feels this way about the current late-night lineup on Boomerang UK. Write a follow up in August 2012 where the repetitive schedule began, before it was Garfield, Skatoony, My Spy Family (last remnant of Boom UK’s failed live action experiment in 2007), My Knight and Me, The Owl & Co, Loonatics Unleashed and Johnny Test, but the schedule is changing starting August 20, Garfield and Skatoony are staying, but then… (Instead of Johnny Test, stay tuned to)
Forum Thread Title: Big Changes to Boomerang UK’s Night Schedule Starting August 20, 2012 - Details & Predictions?

Post by UKToonFan:
Hey fellow Toon enthusiasts! Have you all seen the latest announcement about the night schedule changes on Boomerang UK starting August 20th? It looks like they’re finally shaking things up from the repetitive lineup that we’ve been dealing with since earlier this year. Notably, “My Spy Family” and “Loonatics Unleashed” are seeing their departure.

Reply by RetroToonLover:
Yes, I saw that too! While “The Garfield Show” and “Skatoony” are staying, it appears “Johnny Test” is out. I’m curious to see what they’re replacing it with. Has anyone heard any rumors or confirmed replacements?

Reply by NightShiftWatcher:
From what I understand, they haven’t officially released the full details of what’s coming next. But the departure of “Johnny Test” and others makes room for potentially fresh and exciting content. Maybe they’ll bring more classic cartoons back or introduce some new series?

Reply by CartoonNostalgia:
I’m hoping for more classics myself. It’d be great to see some reruns of shows like “Animaniacs” or even “Dexter’s Laboratory”. “Johnny Test” was getting a bit too much airtime in my opinion. Good classics would bring in not just kids but adult audiences too.

Reply by NewAgeToon:
Might they be planning to introduce newer animated series that have done well in other regions? Perhaps some international hits we haven’t seen yet on Boomerang UK? Change is good, considering the schedule had become pretty stagnant with “My Spy Family” and “Loonatics Unleashed.”

Reply by ToonConnoisseur:
Interestingly enough, “The Owl & Co” seemed to stick around despite the reshuffle. It seems they have some faith in its audience catch. As for “Skatoony” and “The Garfield Show”, they’re probably keeping them due to consistent viewer numbers. However, I really hope they’re planning some surprises.

Reply by NightSchedules:
One of the community managers on the Boomerang UK Twitter hinted at ‘exciting new additions’ coming our way, which could mean anything from new premieres, recent popular shows from other networks, or reviving fan-favorites. Fingers crossed they provide a good mix that caters to everyone’s taste!

Reply by UKToonFan:
These speculations are intriguing! I’m personally all for variety. Let’s keep a close eye on any further announcements. Meanwhile, it would be worthwhile for us to gather feedback and perhaps send a collective suggestion list to Boomerang UK through a petition or social media campaign. Let’s voice what kinds of programs we want to see!

In this thread, we see a community of animated show enthusiasts actively discussing forthcoming changes to Boomerang UK’s nighttime schedule. They express optimism and curiosity about potential new additions while hoping for a return of classic animation or the introduction of international hits. The community is considering proactive steps to communicate their preferences to the network, demonstrating a passionate engagement with the channel’s content strategy.

Forum Thread Title: Boomerang UK’s New Night Schedule Revealed - Here’s What to Expect!

Post by UKToonFan:
Alright everyone! The wait is over – Boomerang UK has finally released the details of their new night schedule starting 20th August. As we speculated, there are some interesting changes and unfortunately, the beginning of the infamous rotation we’ve experienced lately. Let’s break it down:

Reply by SleeplessToonWatcher:
“For those who can’t sleep at night, instead of Johnny Test, stay tuned to…” the new lineup that includes a constant cycle of “The Garfield Show,” “Skatoony,” “The Owl & Co,” and now, introducing “My Knight and Me.” It seems they’ve decided to keep a heavy rotation amongst these four instead of bringing back classics or introducing varied programming.

Reply by ToonConnoisseur:
Honestly, I’m not sure how to feel about this. While “My Knight and Me” adds a little freshness, it’s essentially the same strategy – rotate a handful of shows excessively. I was really hoping for a more dynamic mix. This could become monotonous very quickly if it hasn’t already.

Reply by RetroToonLover:
This is exactly what I feared. It’s like they’re playing it too safe with these rotations. Where’s the diversity? Where’s the nostalgia? They’ve missed a great opportunity to re-integrate classics into the late-night slots, which could have appealed to a broader audience beyond just kids.

Reply by NewAgeToon:
While the inclusion of “My Knight and Me” is somewhat refreshing, it’s overshadowed by the redundancy of the remaining slots. This doesn’t really give insomniac viewers or late-night watchers much to look forward to. It’s practically predictable after a week.

Reply by CartoonNostalgia:
Exactly! Consistency in programming is good, but not like this. They could have at least tried interspersing some movie nights or special episodes of different shows to break the monotony. As it stands, this new schedule isn’t doing enough to captivate or retain a diverse viewership.

Reply by NightShiftWatcher:
Does anyone think that ratings or budget constraints are driving this decision? Maybe they’re playing it safe financially by banking on a set of shows they know perform moderately well, rather than taking risks with a diverse schedule which might be more costly.

Reply by UKToonFan:
It’s possible, @NightShiftWatcher. It could also be a strategic ploy to stabilize viewership numbers with younger audiences before they experiment more broadly. However, they’re risking alienating long-term and adult viewers. Should we collect viewer feedback and create a petition showing our desire for variety and more classic content?

In this thread, the community reacts with a mix of disappointment and frustration to the new night schedule of Boomerang UK, emphasizing a missed opportunity for diversity and engagement with broader audiences. The discussion hints at potential underlying reasons for the decision, such as budget constraints or strategic focus on certain demographics, and proposes community action to influence future programming decisions.

Forum Thread Title: Goodbye Owls and Knights, Hello Round Animals and Morphing Frogs - Boomerang UK Shakes Up Night Schedule!

Post by UKToonFan:
Hi everyone, major update from Boomerang UK! Starting tonight, say goodbye to “The Owl & Co” and “My Knight and Me.” The channel’s shaking things up with “KikoRiki” and a resurgence of “Will & Dewitt” slotted for the midnight rotation. While “The Garfield Show” and “Skatoony” maintain their slots, we’re seeing a fresh but curious duo making a comeback in late-night viewing.

Reply by InsomniacViewer:
“Didn’t Will & Dewitt just get removed from Cartoonito? Why are they bringing it back on Boomerang so soon?” Is it just me, or does it seem like they’re just shuffling old content around without real refreshment? Is this a budget issue, or are they testing viewer nostalgia?

Reply by AnimationAficionado:
It does look like Boomerang is playing the nostalgia card here, perhaps banking on the familiarity while maybe not ready to invest in completely new content for the late-night segment. Recycling shows from sister channels could be an approach to fill the schedule affordably.

Reply by RoundAnimalFan:
I’m actually curious to see how “KikoRiki” will perform in this slot. Those round animal cartoons have a quirky charm that might add a slightly different flavor to the night rotation. But yes, it feels like a safer, budget-friendly strategy rather than a bold programming move.

Reply by LateNightToons:
I’m a bit disappointed with the return of “Will & Dewitt.” It’s a decent show, but bringing it back so soon after its run on Cartoonito doesn’t really scream ‘exciting change.’ Boomerang could benefit from mixing older classics with fresh, innovative content rather than these predictable cycles.

Reply by RetroToonLover:
Good points all around. I think Boomerang UK might be underestimating its audience’s desire for diversity in programming. While these changes could potentially satisfy younger viewers, the channel is at risk of losing older audiences who crave variety and depth in the lineup. It feels like we’re seeing a circle rather than an evolution in programming.

Reply by ToonStrategist:
Perhaps we as a community need to communicate our feedback more distinctly. Does anyone think a well-organized viewer feedback campaign could shake up their strategy? This rotation doesn’t seem sustainable if they want to keep their audience engaged in the long term.

Reply by UKToonFan:
A campaign sounds like a great idea, @ToonStrategist. Gathering collective feedback might be the nudge Boomerang UK needs to reassess their programming strategy. Let’s discuss potential steps in a new thread and see if we can bring about some real change!

In this thread, members of the Boomerang UK fan community express their disappointment and confusion over the recent changes to the channel’s late-night schedule. The discussion highlights concerns about the channel’s reliance on recycling shows and the lack of fresh content, suggesting a possible viewer feedback campaign to encourage more diversity in programming.

Forum Thread Title: Boomerang UK July 2013: Day Schedule Becoming Repetitive with Only 5 Shows!

Post by UKToonFan:
Hey everyone, so I’ve been catching up on Boomerang UK’s daytime schedule recently, and I couldn’t help but notice it’s now mostly just a rotation of five shows throughout the day. It’s getting pretty repetitive, don’t you think? Has anyone else noticed this trend?

Reply by RetroToonLover:
Absolutely, @UKToonFan! It’s been really obvious lately. I mean, I like “The Garfield Show,” but come on, they’re airing it way too often. Add “Tom & Jerry,” “Scooby-Doo,” “The Land Before Time,” and “Casper’s Scare School” to the mix, and that’s pretty much the whole lineup. Where’s the variety?

Reply by AnimationFan1990:
I’ve definitely noticed it too. It feels like they’re not even trying to mix it up anymore. When was the last time we saw something different in the daytime slot? Are they afraid to take risks or invest in new content? It’s becoming a snooze fest if you’re someone who watches throughout the day.

Reply by ClassicCartoonFan:
You nailed it, @AnimationFan1990. Long gone are the days when you would see mixed content involving both classics and new shows. It’s just these five shows on repeat. I guess they think sticking to what’s popular with kids will keep them tuned in, but they’re ignoring adult viewers and nostalgia seekers.

Reply by NostalgiaKnight:
It’s clear they’re targeting younger viewers, but they’re missing out on retaining a broader audience. I remember when daytime slots were unpredictable and fun. Now, if you’ve seen one hour of Boomerang, you’ve seen them all. Where are gems like “Dexter’s Lab” or “Courage the Cowardly Dog”?

Reply by ModernToonsRock:
I do think they might be playing it safe with this limited lineup, probably saving costs and hedging bets on popular titles. But even for kids, seeing the same shows every hour can get tiresome. They need to mix it up or bring daily or weekly themes to keep things interesting.

Reply by NightShiftWatcher:
This lack of variety isn’t just a daytime issue – it’s affecting nighttime viewing too. For late-night, the repetitive schedule with “Garfield,” “Skatoony,” “KikoRiki,” and “Will & Dewitt” is still in play. If they could create more variety during the day, it might relieve some pressure off the repetitive night schedule too.

Reply by ToonConnoisseur:
They should consider polling their audiences or doing focus groups to figure out what viewers truly want. It’s possible many would prefer a more balanced mix of new, nostalgic, and classic content. If it’s a budget issue, they might find that licensing older shows could be a cost-effective way to satisfy everyone.

Reply by UKToonFan:
Great point, @ToonConnoisseur. Maybe we should compile a list or create a petition to Boomerang UK suggesting more variety in their programming. Crowdsourcing opinions from fans could give them valuable insights into what we all want to see. Who’s in for organizing something like this?

Reply by LateNightToons:
Count me in, @UKToonFan. If they see a united front from viewers asking for more variety, they might take action. We should start a new thread to gather ideas and potentially draft an open letter or petition. Let’s rally and make our voices heard!

In this discussion, Boomerang UK fans express their frustration over the daytime schedule’s lack of variety, dominated by just five shows on repeat. The community proposes collecting viewer feedback to encourage the channel to diversify its programming, with several members showing interest in organizing a petition or open letter to communicate their concerns and suggestions for improvement.

Forum Thread Title: Boomerang UK Overnight Show Deserves Better - Why is It Only Airing at Night?

Post by AnimationFan1990:
Hey everyone, I just wanted to start a discussion about one of the shows currently airing overnight on Boomerang UK. It’s practically being buried in the late-night slot, and I think it deserves more love and a better time slot. I’m talking about “KikoRiki.” It’s such a delightful and unique show that’s FAR better than the other overnight programs (especially the joke that is “Will & Dewitt”). What do you all think?

Reply by NightShiftWatcher:
I couldn’t agree more, @AnimationFan1990. “KikoRiki” has quirky and charming animation with genuinely entertaining episodes. It’s a shame it’s relegated to late-night when most viewers are asleep. It’s definitely being underutilized in that slot.

Reply by RetroToonLover:
YES! “KikoRiki” is a gem. It deserves a daytime or at least an early evening slot where it can reach a broader audience. Compared to the mind-numbing repeat of “Will & Dewitt,” “KikoRiki” stands out with its creativity and humor. It’s sad to see it gathering dust in an overnight slot.

Reply by ClassicCartoonFan:
Totally agree with you all. “KikoRiki” has a lot of potential to attract both kids and adults with its witty storytelling and vibrant characters. Giving it a better time slot could seriously shake up the current monotony of their schedule and offer viewers something genuinely entertaining.

Reply by InsomniacViewer:
“KikoRiki” is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of quality. It’s practically being abused in that late slot. It’s unique, fun, and deserves more recognition. I’d propose they swap out some of the excessive Garfield or Skatoony blocks for a bit more “KikoRiki.” At least offer it a chance to shine!

Reply by ModernToonsRock:
Yes, yes, yes! Boomerang UK doesn’t realize what a hidden gem they have with “KikoRiki.” How do we get their attention to this? Maybe some viewer feedback can highlight how underappreciated the show is and how it could potentially revamp their staid lineup.

Reply by NightOwlAnimator:
For sure, “KikoRiki” is really well made. Seeing it squeezed into late-night slots is an injustice to its quality while shows like “Will & Dewitt” get more attention. If Boomerang shuffled the lineup to give “KikoRiki” a prime slot, it could gain a solid following instead of flying under the radar.

Reply by UKToonFan:
We should definitely highlight this in our viewer feedback or petition efforts we’ve discussed before. Boomerang UK clearly needs more variety in their programming, and “KikoRiki” fits that bill perfectly. Reaching out to them with our collective thoughts might finally get the show the appreciation it deserves.

Reply by LateNightToons:
Looks like we have a pretty solid consensus here. “KikoRiki” deserves better, and as a community, we can advocate for change. Let’s definitely include this in our overall strategy. Anyone up for drafting a specific section on “KikoRiki” for our open letter to Boomerang UK?

Reply by ToonConnoisseur:
I’m in! Let’s draft something emphasizing why “KikoRiki” needs better placement and how it can enrich the daytime or early evening slots. We can highlight its creative storytelling, humorous charm, and appeal to a broader audience. Count me in for any writing or organizing efforts.

In this conversation, Boomerang UK fans unite to express their admiration for “KikoRiki,” criticizing the current overnight-only slot and advocating for a better time slot. They discuss organizing collective viewer feedback to bring awareness to the channel about the show’s quality and the potential to revitalize the daytime or early evening schedule.

Yes! Finally, “KikoRiki” gets the recognition it deserves. I can’t wait to see it during the day. This will break up the monotony and bring some much-needed charm to the schedule.

This is such great news. Seeing “KikoRiki” in both the morning and the afternoon slots is fantastic. I appreciate that Boomerang is finally listening to its viewers. Special shoutout to getting “The Owl & Co” a better time too!

This updated schedule looks way more balanced and refreshing. The mix of “KikoRiki,” classic cartoons, and fan favorites like “Foster’s Home” and “Scooby-Doo” is great. Plus, it’s good to see a more varied evening lineup.

Boomerang UK is definitely stepping up with this. Spreading out “KikoRiki” throughout the day will do wonders for engagement. Let’s hope this variety continues to grow and evolve.

The changes to the nighttime and overnight slots also look promising. “KikoRiki” additions late at night might be just what’s needed for sleepless viewers. This lineup feels way more considered and diverse.

📺 Loving the new @BoomerangUK schedule changes! 🎉 “KikoRiki” during the day is fantastic! 🙌 But how about giving “The Owl & Co” or “The Adrenalini Brothers” a nighttime slot instead of, well, you-know-what? 😉 Variety is key! #BoomerangUK #CartoonLovers #GiveUsMoreOwlsAndAdrenalini 🦉🦸‍♂️
