| '''Boomerang''' is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}}, operating as a sister station to [[Cartoon Network]]. | | '''Toonami''' is an extension of [[Cartoon Network]]. It formerly aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and, after [[Kids' WB!]] stopped airing new episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]]. |
| | |
| ==Line-up==
| |
| Boomerang is well-known for airing many cartoons that came from the 20th century such as {{wp|The Flintstones}}, {{wp|The Jetsons}}, Popeye the Sailor Man, and The Yogi Bear Show, as well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on {{wp|List of programs broadcast by Boomerang|Wikipedia}}.

| |
|
| ==History==
| | From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB!'s weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB'', making this period the first instance of Pokémon on Toonami. |
| Boomerang was made shortly after the introduction of Cartoon Network in 1992. However, it was only a block for the network, and didn't become a channel until 2000. During its time as a block, it lasted for only a couple of hours at a time.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===With Pokémon===
| | The Toonami block aired for the final time on September 20, 2008. |
| Boomerang first started airing episodes of the popular Pokémon series when it first aired the {{series|original}} in 2010, and after that in March of 2010. Currently, as of October 2012, the channel airs episodes of the [[series|Diamond & Pearl series]]. Episodes are currently airing at 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} on weekdays<ref>[http://www.locatetv.com/listings/boomerang Boomerang schedule]</ref>.

|
| ==Trivia==
| | Although the Toonami block itself ended, the block's streaming-video service [[Toonami Jetstream]], which showed episodes from various arcs of Pokémon anime, continued operations until January 30, 2009. |
| *Boomerang's name comes from the {{wp|boomerang}}, a tool that is known for always coming back when thrown.
| |
| **This is because Boomerang shows many older cartoons that are coming back to air, much like when boomerangs come back when thrown.
| |
| *Boomerang airs [[EP038|''Holiday Hi-Jynx'']], an anime episode that had been [[banned episodes|banned]].

| | After nearly four years of being off the year in the US, Toonami later returned on the air on May 26, 2012, but now on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's late-night programming block. This was done by popular demand after Adult Swim's April Fools stunt. |
