BOOMERANG
Many, many, many years ago, BOOMERANG showed the wonderful HANNA-BARBERA classic cartoons and other classic cartoons, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Starting out with a concept like this was a wonderful idea and I thought it could only get better over time. I thought maybe they would add things like the rarer stuff: HANNA-BARBERA'S ABBOTT & COSTELLO SHOW, HANNA-BARBERA'S LAUREL & HARDY SHOW, etc.
In fact, the description of the channel to this day says "they only show classic cartoons." Now I am of the opinion that their current program director is doing hard drugs or drinking. I love classic cartoons and this channel shows the farthest thing from it! They do show a few of the classics between 2 and 5 am. I have to say something about this, since I am a TV historian and biographer.
Have you seen "Almost Naked Animals" ? Which I believe they showed for two hours today. This literally looks like a cartoon nightmare. My friend Tom calls me up and talks about how a dog could draw better cartoons and he is right. CARTOON NETWORK is 1000x worse. How did this happen? Who is the programming director and why do they have a job? This is what they want to show kids?
It is ironic that people complained about the limited animation of the late 1950's and early 1960's. That stuff was designed by super talented people that were skilled artists. There is no need for that talent in today's animation. Cartoons are made for an extremely dumbed down America.

CARTOON NETWORK
I occasionally watch a classic HANNA-BARBERA cartoon on BOOMERANG (Few survive) and during THE ATOM ANT SHOW or JOHNNY QUEST I am bombarded by commercials for CARTOON NETWORK....probably the dumbest, ugliest cartoons we have ever seen (my fiance and friends agree): ADVENTURE TIME and GUMBALL. Who is the target audience for these cartoons? My friend Tom said "they look like someone stuck a pencil in a dog's mouth and this is what it drew." It's true! I feel sorry for the kids of today, if this is what is thrown at them. Complete garbage! About 20 years ago, SPUMCO and others started a new wave of creator driven and beautifully designed cartoons....what happened since then?????

I love the classic HANNA-BARBERA cartoons AND wish BOOMERANG would love them too! Why are things like BEN 10 and POKEMON on BOOMERANG now? It is all coming back to you?!*&% Also, why are DVD sets of the 1970's HB coming out before classics like THE ATOM ANT SHOW and THE SECRET SQUIRREL SHOW? Who is minding the store?Thursday, February 25, 2010
WEDGIES
I think I finally figured out these WEDGIES from CARTOON NETWORK/BOOMERANG after all this time! It is what NOT to do with animation....Right? These are the most god awful things I have ever seen done in animation. Who in the world paid for these to be aired? AND who is airing these things? There is nothing worse than to see or even hear these awful things between the vintage HANNA-BARBERA cartoons (Which are few and far between these days on BOOMERANG).
