I’m rooting for Metv Toons because they are going to be over the air (OTA) and having an antenna means I may be able to get it when it comes out. But at the same time I don’t want Boomerang to go anywhere cause I’ll be able to watch that too in my bedroom on my Roku, so it’ll be a win win both ways for me lol.
Nah, they need a Powerhouse or CN City era of their own to make us Millennials and Gen Zers happy who are growing older and would want to relive the bumpers of the past all over again.
I just hope MeTV Toons becomes a permanent channel because than Cartoon Network will finally realize how much viewers want to see the classic cartoons and put them back on the schedule forever along with turning Boomerang back into what it used be in the 2000s.
Too soon to ask, but my vote will be on MeTV Toons since going to be an OTA (Over The Air) 24/7 running channel. Something that I've wanted all these years without paying for cable tv.
I would love METV Toons to carry most of my childhood back again. We are talking about Warner Brothers, Hanna Barbara, Terrytoons, Harveytoons, all the Popeye franchises, the superhero cartoons; Superman, Superboy and Kripto, The Justice League, The Fantastic Four, etc..., just a review of what was on the networks during the 1960s and maybe halfway through the 1970s.
I have to go with the up coming MeTV Toons. For one thing my cable provider stopped carrying Boomerang in May 2019 ( that's five years). The shows they have on Cartoon Network now sucks. I liked it better when CN did have the classic cartoons before launching their sister station Boomerang. Now that I haven't seen Boomerang in five years and CN shows are garbage I can't wait for June 25th to come and I can finally get to see my old school cartoons.
"Better" depends on what you like, but the new Toons network has a few inherent advantages. Boomerang, and Cartoon Network before it, were repositories for the Turner/Warner cartoon libraries. So that mostly meant Hanna Barbera's back catalog, Termite Terrace, and MGM theatrical shorts. MeTV has to lease its content, but it's provided a new platform for moribund cartoon libraries from studios that i hadn't sen on TV in 30 years, like Fleischer, Walter Lantz, and Columbia. The published schedules so far show that they're reaching deep into the toyboxes for some of these shows. And I'm here for it. 😊
MeTV Toons all the way, don’t get me wrong I miss the days of both Cartoon Network and then Boomerang being the home for the cartoon classics but this is possibly the best chance we have of getting a cartoon channel that has more than just cartoons from the Warner Discovery library but also access to other libraries of cartoons that we once exclusively aired on other channels back in the day.
Go Speed Racer Go! Anyone else know about this? MTV, Cartoon Network and Speed Channel all used to show Speed Racer late in the afternoon (and later late at night/overnight)? Trying to show more animation on MTV.
I'm staying with Boomerang they have old shows and do not get me wrong Metv Toons has some great shows that will be airing but Boomerang is home to old shows from 70 80 90 2000 .
MeTv Toons: Speed Racer, Top Cat, Jonny Quest, Bullwinkle, Underdog, Hanna Barbera, Looney Tunes, UPI, MGM, Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, Secret Squirrel, Atom Ant and the puppet shows!
I just received an email (after cancelling Boomerang App) that the app is shutting down anyway after 9/30 and being merged into Max - with not all content making the jump, naturally.
I would suggest watching the METV channel for s while to get a sense of how METV Toons will be programmed. METV has proved to be exceptional regarding their programming format, even if all of the shows aren't top rate, most are, and the others receive the same programming stability, so the channel remains dependable and predictable. Something Boomerang has lacked over its tenure. I would argue that METV's sci-fi block which starts Saturday's at 8:00PM Eastern each Saturday featuring Svengoolie, Batman, Star Trek TOS, Kolchak, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Time Tunnel and others is the strongest entertainment window available on any network currently, so they definitely know how to program. I expect METV Toons to produce the same quality programming over the long run and avoid moving the "classic" window forward in time which was the beginning of Boomerang's downfall.
Boomerang just shut down in Europe and is about to shut down in America. Most cable companies don't even carry the channel anymore. And Warner Bros Discovery wants nothing to do with animated programming anymore. I'd be surprised if they didn't shut down CN within the next year. They clearly do not have any future plans for the channel. They stopped producing new shows and are now adding more and more old classics to the channel's lineup.
I doubt Boomerang would be shut down in the U.S. although they did shut down in Latin America and Europe. It has gotten a bit better though but not enough variety. Can’t wait for MeToons though.
@@peyifte6311 So after some further digging, here's the situation. Warner Bros Discovery's exclusive license to the Boomerang brand has expired and they didn't renew it. Hence why another company took the brand and recently launched Boomerang in Canada. For now, Boomerang still operates in the US, New Zealand and Australia. Suggesting that their licenses have yet to expire. But clearly, WBD is no longer interested in operating this channel, hence why they rebranded Boomerang to Cartoonito in some regions such as South-East Asia. Cartoonito is a pre-school focused channel similar to that of Nick Jr and Disney Junior. This explains why we're starting to see more classic programming over on Cartoon Network. Cartoonito has already been around for some time in the UK and Europe
if they follow the parent network model, they will run all the episodes from all the series they will run, in order of their og airdates. Now because Saturday Morning shows had far less episodes than prime time shows, they will recycle faster. So, you'll have time slots with different, but related series: Wacky Races/Penelopie Pitstop; the two Josie and The Pussycat series as examples.
Although in Greece, where I live, the boomerang has become cartoonito, I support the boomerang. From what I know, the boomerang of the USA has become like Europe in 2010-2013, that is, the old cartoons returned, but it still maintains some new ones. Because I grew up with boomerang, I don't want what happened now to change if metv toons has more spectacularity.
I can't choose.... I love both they still air Bugs Bunny... Popeye Taz tweety. Scooby. Woody Woodpecker... Tom and Jerry on Saturday... and Sunday good cartoons so I can't choose oh it's tough but I love both..😁
I think MeTV Toons will be better as well, for a simple reason: IT EXISTS. Old-school Boomerang is... gone. So even if we could split hairs about which channel was/is "better" its irrelevant because one simply is not an option.
I Just Want to See 1964 Jonny Quest,1966 Marvel Super Heroes, 1967 CBS Lone Ranger, Herculoids, Moby Dick & the Mighty Migtor ABC George of the Jungle, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, 1968 NBC Banana Spits, Pink Panther, Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn,
MeTV Toons is a nice standing ovation but Boomerang is expensive and I haven't had Spectrum and average cable since I been married and it's not ahead of it's time anymore.
I do not like some of things ME TV does skipping the color episodes of The Andy Griffith show not airing all the villians on Batman what they advertise during cartoon programs giving their cartoons a TV PG rating as well as other stuff
MeTv has cool shows and more cartoons than Boomerang, which is 24/7 old cartoons, while MeTv is 1 - 3 hours. Boomerang doesn't have a lot of old cartoons than they used to. I remember Boomerang as a little kid and the new shows are as good as the old ones, it just needs more of the old and original cartoons rather than just remakes of old Cartoon Network shows which are also good.
Boomerang was done the minute they dropped all the classic cartoons and traded them in for Cartoon Network produced castoffs and contemporary shows which should've just had their own channel.
lol this video is about which one is better when one channel doesn't exist and it amounts to muh bumpers and nostalgia and has one point about libraries to air but otherwise is nothing more than speculatory fluff
what so bad about CN is that the programing now is mid the olny thing good about it is the Adult Swim TOONAMI block i not seen CN in a long time sense i don't have the channel any more and don't get me started on Nicktoons and it's bloat that is Sponge Bob taking up the the hole channel the last time i ever watched TV was when the hub was on the air after the hub went off the air my dad switch from direct TV to xfinity and got the Cheap plan that got rid of cartoon network so without TOONAMI i mostly watch you tube and twitch or just play Xbox .. this is the first in a long time i watch tv

What Boomerang needs is their old bumpers with the toys again!
Yeah and the cartoon variety they had! I wish they went back to the bumpers n stuff, AND they had metv toons' schedule
Nah, they need a Powerhouse or CN City era of their own to make us Millennials and Gen Zers happy who are growing older and would want to relive the bumpers of the past all over again.
Those odd bumpers?
I remember when Boomerang would air blocks of cartoons from a specific year.
That was awesome! My favorite years were 1974 and 1976.
they should have quick clips before the commerical break like metv's saturday morning cartoons had their own quick clips
I just hope MeTV Toons becomes a permanent channel because than Cartoon Network will finally realize how much viewers want to see the classic cartoons and put them back on the schedule forever along with turning Boomerang back into what it used be in the 2000s.
I even did the same thing with it…MeTv Toons will basically be Boomerang 2.0
Too soon to ask, but my vote will be on MeTV Toons since going to be an OTA (Over The Air) 24/7 running channel. Something that I've wanted all these years without paying for cable tv.
Boomerang 2016: NickToons 2.0
Boomerang 2024: Classics On Repeat
I would love METV Toons to carry most of my childhood back again.

I can't believe it's been almost a decade since Boomerang rebranded.
I'm rooting for MeTV Toons because it doesn't cost $200 on a cable package like Boomerang
If you have roku you can get Boomerang for 5$ a month.

One of them hasn’t even debuted yet. How can you compare them?

Good
😊😊a lot of my favorite 60s cartoons are on boomerang channel on roku to me i can watch both
Exactly I'm between both 🙂

Metv toons is doing nothing but old cartoons.

I can't wait to watch it on streaming
I just received an email (after cancelling Boomerang App) that the app is shutting down anyway after 9/30 and being merged into Max - with not all content making the jump, naturally.
I’ll just be happy to have my old-school cartoons back😊
Good video. You might want to come back to this topic again in a few months or a year, once we’ve actually watched both channels.

Nah it's both
me tv toon yes boomerang no
That channel MeTV Toons is a nice Boomerang I miss cable kind of.
Boomerang has been around for years and Boomerang can’t go and neither should Cartoon Network.

And Warner Bros Discovery wants nothing to do with animated programming anymore. I'd be surprised if they didn't shut down CN within the next year.

@@MrDonCoyote. They need to do more upcoming shows and for Cartoon Network and they can’t get rid of it and Boomerang
@@MrDonCoyote. Also that’s a lie that Boomerang is gonna shut down in America
I doubt Boomerang would be shut down in the U.S. although they did shut down in Latin America and Europe. It has gotten a bit better though but not enough variety. Can’t wait for MeToons though.

Boomerang is better.
Boomerang is way more better than any other network to feature classic cartoons.
Metv toons isn't perfect but it's better than nothing.
I think MeTV Toons will be better as well, for a simple reason: IT EXISTS. Old-school Boomerang is... gone. So even if we could split hairs about which channel was/is "better" its irrelevant because one simply is not an option.
In comming remeser back to you.
Im leanings towards metv toons hopefully its stays old school !!! But boomera gs little breaks were classic for sure
I Just Want to See 1964 Jonny Quest,1966 Marvel Super Heroes, 1967 CBS Lone Ranger, Herculoids, Moby Dick & the Mighty Migtor ABC George of the Jungle, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, 1968 NBC Banana Spits, Pink Panther, Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn,
Yes. It will
MeTV Toons is a nice standing ovation but Boomerang is expensive and I haven't had Spectrum and average cable since I been married and it's not ahead of it's time anymore.
MeTV Toons. it's so better.
As long as we gets to watch the real Hanna-Barbera cartoons and not that Jellystoned crap on Max.
Lol you clearly havent seen the schedule
Boomerang changed the rule. Metv for sure
Me TV needs to advertise toys cereal and products aimed towards children on their cartoon programs and on this new channel
I still prefer the old Boomerang but not the 2015 rebrand.
I do not like some of things ME TV does skipping the color episodes of The Andy Griffith show not airing all the villians on Batman what they advertise during cartoon programs giving their cartoons a TV PG rating as well as other stuff

Hmmm I don’t see woody woodpecker or inspector gadget on boomerang
The day I stopped watching Boomerang is when they stopped showing SWAT Kats and Thundaar, The Barbarian.
great

I am sorry but metv toons boomerang doesn't even air anime or has never aired underdogs or freak azoid
Before I stop receiving Boomerang, I do remember Boomerang airing the Underdog show. Don't know if they aired Freakazoid after I stop receiving it.
MeTV Toon will be airing anime and the two shows you mentioned. Boomerang used to air underdog.
@@MrDonCoyote oh well i haveen't seen it so i couldn't tell if they did
I remember that they used to air Pokémon back in the day.
@@SammyOmane That must be before Disney bought the rights to that franchise, which I guess came with the entire FOX Kids library.
Boomerang forever
