Warners announces "Saturday Morning Cartoons" in 2 volumes... one of the 1960's, and one of the 1970's... both feature one episode of classic cartoons like Wally Gator, Space Ghost (not the fun one), The Flintstones, and Bugs Bunny Cartoons...

(I find it a backhanded gift, as Warners pretty much killed Saturday Mornings, but that's another post for another time).

I hope they make a 90's collection with unreleased Animaniacs episodes, and Hysteria....

No, poorer towns like mine just have a different type of basic cable. We only got Disney channel a few years ago :embarrassed:
well, to be honest, i had our cable turned off at home to save some cash last summer, so i technically don't have boomerang myself. :stick_out_tongue:

God bless the internet, we don't really even miss regular tv. :cool:

I've got Boomerang! Nyah Nyah! :stick_out_tongue:

But in all reality, they show some pretty lousy stuff.

For the longest time they were showing Gerald McBoingBoing. I think they are still showing Baby Loony Tunes. They show alot of super hero cartoons late at night. All the old stuff is on early in the morning before 7. And everything in between is give or take. They just started showing PPG a few days ago. Although I'm kind of glad they did. I have not thought of that show for a few years and I forgot how good it is XD

I would reather have Vols. of each of the certain cartoon shows. Other then having several DVDs of different ones. Like Wally Gator, Quick Draw McGraw, Scooby Doo Laugh-A-Lympics, Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Romen Holidays, Charlie Chan & The Amazing Chan Clan, Funky Phantom and Joise and the Pussycats in Outer Space. Now those i would pay dearly for. I'm a big Hanna Barbera fan and would rather have them in their own box set and not this. I might buy it just so maybe to get these on to Box Sets or Season sets. But i'll have to see it first to see if i really want this or not.

Lucky :frown:. Do they show the Flintstones and Smurfs at all? I only saw the channel once and that was my favorite :smile:

I'm surprised that they didn't release Scooby's Laugh-a-lympics this year at all. Shocked, even (to tie in with the '08 Olympic games). I've seen some episodes, and it's decent... but I think Wacky Races was a lot better.

It would be great if they could release all of these as separate sets, but I like what they're going for here. I think that this set would really pop if they threw in commercials of each time period, and saw about getting commercial bumpers from different broadcasters as extras.

I still say this needs to continue with a 90's set, because it may be the first taste Taz-Mania and/or Histeria gets at a DVD release, as well as putting yet unreleased episodes of Tiny Toons and Animanics, and maybe a Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain...
