Boomerang August 2007 Programming Highlights and Schedule Changes

[Kolbar]

Character of the Month

Muttley (from Dastardly & Muttley)
Dick Dastardly might have been in charge, but let’s face it, Muttley has all the power in this relationship! As sidekick to the aforementioned vicious yet incompetent villain in Wacky Racers, Muttley spends most of his time snickering and wheezing at his master’s incompetencies. As these two attempt to win the race, it’s ultimately Muttley who steals the show!

[The Cartoon]

Can't wait for the Top 20 H-B Countdown! Not too much changes to the schedule, they haven't gotten rid of any non-classic cartoons. They have Scooby-Doo Where Are You? but they are missing a lot of Scoby series that I want to see again like the New Scooby-Doo Movies :D

[hobbyfan]

Would prefer to see Space Ghost & Dino Boy on at an earlier time. Flip it with Cow & Chicken, IMPO.

[jcorey3]

Would prefer to see Space Ghost & Dino Boy on at an earlier time. Flip it with Cow & Chicken, IMPO.

but they want you to buy the DVD set.

[Napoleon Solo]

Don't know what DVD's they're planning next from the Space Ghost era but Mightor/Moby Dick and either Shazzan or the Herculoids would work for me.

[ebrand11]

Hey guys we need LOONEY TUNES Back and this time show the colorized ones from the thirties. Plus Late Night Black and White at a reasonable time with Betty Boops and AAP Popeyes not just the same ones repeated. The Popeye Show and Toonheads need to return. Everyones forgetting that this is a classic cartoon station. Cow and Chicken, 2 Stupid Dogs and the other newer toons shouldnt invade Boomerang. I do love that were finally seeing MGM cartoons regularley.

[John Dorian]

Is Betty Boop even owned by CN/Turner/WB?

[Kolbar]

Is Betty Boop even owned by CN/Turner/WB?I'm not exactly sure if they own some stake in it, but most of Betty's cartoons are public domain and can be shown by anyone.

[Mark The Shark]

I'm not exactly sure if they own some stake in it, but most of Betty's cartoons are public domain and can be shown by anyone.

Not sure I'd say "most" ... anyone have a definitive list of which titles are/are not PD? I know some copyrighted titles have slipped out on some "gray market" DVDs. I recall seeing either "Snow White" or "Minnie The Moocher" on "Cartoon Junction" in the mid-1990s (I think "Snow White") and I'm pretty sure it's copyrighted.

[Draft]

Snow White was shown on ReFrederator if i rmeember correctly, so i doubt that
