How many live action shows does Boomerang UK air anyway??

Well compared to Boomerang Latin America, not a lot. Boomerang Latin America is basically like the Disney Channel or The N over here.

How many live action shows does Boomerang UK air anyway??

Boomerang UK airs just three live action shows: Blue Water High, My Spy Family, and My Life With Derek. I say 'just' because Boomerang LA clobbers it in numbers.

Boomerang LA airs Blue Water High, Cake, Saddle Club, Beakman's World, Darcy's Wild Life, H20, Harry & The Henderson's, Flight 29 Down, The New Flipper Show and several more shows than I care to count (plus, I don't care to research the English names of them). Boomerang LA airs 20+ live-action shows, just for the record. :sad

Why is that sad? Boomerang LA is no longer advertising itself as a classic cartoon channel. It completely rebranded itself a couple years ago.

At least they're not lying to its audience, so do some research before passing judgment.

Do they even air ANY classics at all there??

Yeah, they air a few. But, like Jave said, they aren't a classics channel anymore. They don't advertise themselves as that anymore (for obvious reasons). It's one thing to air some live action movies, but it's a whole different thing when they completely change their image and go against the reason they were created.

Exactly what is so bad about rebranding? At least they're catering to a different audience by doing the right thing instead of pretending something they're not.

They changed their image because before the change, Boomerang LA had the worst reception ever. Barely anyone watched that channel. Boomerang LA is an entirely different type of channel and shouldn't be compared to its foreign counterparts. It just happens to have the same name simply due to legalities.

Taffy Entertainment inks a agreement with Italy's Atlantyca Entertainment publishing division to produce novelty books based on the new 2D flash-animated TV series Hero:108 and targeted to tweens and teens. Slated to debut on TV in 2009, Hero:108 follows the adventures of a group of young defenders out to end the conflict between animals and humans. Hero:108 is a co-production of Mike Young Productions, Gamania Digital Entertainment and Cartoon Network International. Under a previous pact, Taffy and Atlantyca are developing a series of books loosely based on Taffy's animated series Code Lyoko.

The premise behind the show sounds interesting. I wonder if it will end up on CN US.

 

[LoneToonman]

Oh, and IGPX is still part of the Toonami Japan lineup.

That IS good news...

You do realize that post is from January 2007, right?

I stopped checking post dates a LONG time ago. For all I know, that post could have been made thirty minutes before mine, as opposed to a year and a half. Some 12 page threads get created in 2 years. Then again, some end up being 12 pages long in 30 minutes. Then again, I stopped counting.

the Web is deceptive like that.

And besides, that's still later than it lasted on the CN where I live.

I've been hearing rumors that Flapjack will premiere on Cartoon Network Japan!

 

[ChibiGoku]

So... Looks like we're getting screwed over, again.

Over at TotheZ, someone pointed out that it appears that Taiwan's CartoonNetwork will be airing the PowerPuff Girls special, November 30, 2008. Apparently, Japan may also be airing the special as well, November 18, 2008, although it's marked as "TBA", so we won't know for sure until it airs there.

CartoonNetwork there is also reairing the Short Special, Mizuno Kingdom: PowerPuff Girls as well. This was a short that aired on Mizuno Kingdom, which featured a cross over between the cast. Was made specifically for Japan.

Regardless, both Taiwan and Japan's CN will also be running a marathon. Not sure how many days Taiwan's will be, but the Japan CN will be running two days of PowerPuff Girls November 17 & 18.

I always find it funny how PPG is almost practically ignored here, but everywhere else it gets recognition. Sigh...

I got to see CN Latin America on a cruise ship to the Bahamas 3 weeks ago. Chowder was added to the channel, they still show the CGI city bumpers and teaser promos for Flapjack were airing.

 

[The Overlord]

You know what might be amusing, TDI in Japanese. I guess they wouldn't have a PG warning over there for this show.

Japan has a different rating system, so of course it won't.

Not what I meant, I mean they wouldn't have the Japanese version of PG rating if that show aired there.

 

[FlooterFlatter]

Actually if I recall when CN Japan airs "Home Movies" they do have a warning before the show begins.
