Boomarang is great. I love older cartoons (though I wish they’d dig a little deeper. There are [tons](http://www.toyadz.com/toyadz/cartoons/saturdaylist.html) of 'toons that haven’t been seen anywhere since the late 60’s/early 70’s!).
What I don’t get is why this channel has such a goofed up schedule. For instance, tonight the Jetsons were suppose to be on at 8:00p.m… They came on at 8:22.
This happens **ALL** the time. Their shows come on at goofed-up times, either earlier or later than it’s suppose to. Sometimes not only is the show on something odd like 17 minutes late, it will be a completely different show than what’s scheduled. It’s very strange.

They’re these sticks that Australian aborigines throw into the air. Many people think that they’re designed to come back to the thrower; however, that’s only true of certain designs, and only if they’re thrown properly.
There ya go. Glad to be of help.

The main problem with \*\*Boomerang[/ib], besides Eddie Murphy’s ego, is the fact that we were supposed to accept that Robin Givens was sexier than Halle Berry, which even in 1992 was patently absurd.

The problem with Boomerang from my provider is that it’s on the “TeleLatina” tier. Why must I pay for CineLatino, CNN Español, and VH Uno to watch the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show?
