Boomerang (UK & Ireland) - Boomerang Programmes

Boomerang Programmes

Like the U.S. channel of the same name, the station's programming consists almost exclusively of MGM, Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. archive programming, though it also includes fairly recent programmes featuring older characters, such as Garfield and Friends, Taz-mania, and The Pink Panther Show. Unlike the U.S. station, commercials are broadcast. The channel occasionally suspends its regular programming for theme weeks, most often for Tom and Jerry and Scooby-Doo. For a few months starting from September 2000, more archive action-oriented programming was shown on the Boomeraction slot at weekends, including shows such as The Fantastic Four, Centurions and Challenge of the GoBots. This endeavour was short-lived however, and the slot and its programmes were permanently dropped from the schedules in May 2001. For a short while, Boomerang UK aired a few on CN's shows like Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends and Camp Lazlo and not to mention Chowder, It also features other cartoons, like Mr. Bean and Gadget Boy as well as some classic British cartoons such as Danger Mouse and Roobarb. In July 2007, Boomerang UK started to show Live-action shows, including exclusive shows like My Spy Family, The Latest Buzz and Life with Derek as well as puppetery shows like Fraggle Rock and Thunderbirds (several years before).
