The Downfall of Boomerang

it's been 24 years exactly since Boomerang officially launched as a spin-off of Cartoon Network. With the catchphrase "it's all coming back to you" the channel was advertised as being "designed for the whole family" yet it would be destroyed by that very same concept years later.

Boomerang was truly a one-of-a-kind unique viewing experience & i'm convinced those bumpers will be stuck with me forever! Luckily compared to other channels i've covered this story has a bit of a happier ending.
