Boomerang Review

Overall Rating

Lots of the older classic cartoons.

Far too much Scooby Doo.
Inspector Gadget and Gadget Boy.

I do like the children's 'Boomerang' cartoon channel, because it shows a lot of the older classic cartoons, such as Tom & Jerry, Loony Toons, Pink Panther plus some of the old 'Hannah Barbera' cartoons like Wacky Races, Top Cat, Dastardly & Mutley and Hong Kong Phooey. It even has Tex Avery cartoons from time to time. I used to watch these cartoons when I was little. These cartoons haven't been on BBC for many years, so now 'Boomerang' channel brings these cartoons back to life, but I think that there is too much Scooby Doo being shown, which becomes rather boring. The show was not as good as it used to be. Plus, Inspector Gadget is a load of rubbish, and so is Gadget Boy, and neither of these shows are taken off, unlike the other shows. The good part is the introduction of Camp Lazlo and Duck Dodgers, which are funny, but really there should be a good even balance of the said shows, and not too much of one show and too little of the other.

  Scooby Doo was OK up until Scrappy Doo came along, which spoiled the show. I is a shame that Boomerang do not show some other older stuff, like Batfink or Dick Tracy, which were cool! I would love to get hold of the Dick Tracy cartoon shows on DVD, but I can't I have Batfink on DVD though. Also, I see that the Wacky races and Hong Kong Phooey have not been on Boomerang in ages. Plus, I have not even seen the Jetsons or Dynamutt, even though these shows are sometimes advertised. I see that Inspector Gadget and Gadget boy are never taken off, whereas some of the other shows are. It is also nice to see the Racoons on again, as this show involves some environmental issues.
  
  Come on Boomerang! Show some more older shows!
