A Guide To Boomerang's Classic Cartoon Streaming Service There is no stronger drug on the market than nostalgia right now, and there's no better time for a Netflix- like subscription service that caters solely to the classic cartoons of yesteryear. The popular retro cable channel Boomerang recently spun off their brand into a streaming service that provides audiences with over 5,0. Warner Brothers, Hanna- Barbera, and MGM’s animated content and new original content. Furthermore, it's now the only place that streamers will be able to find Looney Tunes, Scooby- Doo, The Jetsons, Tom and Jerry, and The Flintstones.
That's nothing to shake a stick of TNT at. Accordingly, we’ve assembled an easy- to- follow list outlining some of the most memorable and hilarious classic cartoons on Boomerang’s subscription service. Before you know it, you’ll be getting whacked over the head with so much nostalgia you’ll think that a 1. Looney Tunes. What’s It Like?: Monty Python’s Flying Circus meets The Muppet Show. How Long Is It?: 1.

Episodes. Best Episode: “Duck Amuck”Looney Tunes is the crown jewel of classic cartoons. There’d be no point in Boomerang even launching such a service if Looney Tunes wasn’t a part of it. The variety- style program is the home of so many beloved characters. Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Marvin the Martian, and Daffy Duck are only the tip of the iceberg. Looney Tunes is a true master at character- driven comedy. The series has an incredible knack for turning one- note caricatures into unbelievable goldmines of comedy. Something silly like the laws of physics aren’t going to get in the way of some bizarre slapstick gag.

The fact that the show is broken up into short, digestible segments makes it even easier to enjoy, too. Segments like “What’s Opera, Doc?” and “Baton Bunny” are also utter triumphs of animation and must- sees for any fan of the medium. Boomerang also utilizes an interesting strategy where they curate playlists and “shows” by character. For instance, you can get a huge lineup of content from various episodes from other shows that only contain Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, or whoever your favorite is.
In this sense, I’d easily select a playlist of “Road Runner and Coyote,” “Sylvester & Tweety,” and “Foghorn Leghorn” selections as some of my Top Picks, even though they’re not technically shows on their own right. That being said, Boomerang organizes them and has them able to be viewed just like any other show, so it felt necessary to single them out. The Flintstones. What's It Like?: The Honeymooners meets Land of the Lost. How Long Is It?: 1.
Episodes. Best Episode: “The Flintstone Flyer”The Flintstones is certainly the biggest hit from out of the Hanna- Barbera side of Boomerang’s library. It’s also the best cartoon set during the prehistoric era. The family of the Flintstones might be billed as “the modern stone- age family,” but the series takes that anachronistic mentality to heart.
The show operates as a family sitcom that depicts zany adventures intersecting with the normalcy of married life. It just also happens to have tiny dinosaurs functioning as garbage disposals or wooly mammoths being a must- have for any bathroom. It’s a living,” indeed. The cartoon also gains points for “aging” its cast and evolving their lives through the show’s six seasons.
Both Fred and Wilma and Barney and Betty end up with growing offspring by the end of the series. The Flintstones also earns the cool distinction of being the first animated series to air during primetime. Watch Bob Roberts Online Hulu here.
Perhaps that kind of explains the inexplicable laugh track that the series has. It’s a cartoon! What audience? Bunnicula. What’s It Like?: The Strain meets Pinky and the Brain.
How Long Is It?: 4. Episodes. Best Episode: “Puzzle Madness”Bunnicula is an odd little selection in Boomerang’s library. It's definitely one of the newer titles that they offer. This highlights the service’s interest in programming to both adults that grew up with classic cartoons, as well as children that are currently experiencing new hits in the making. Bunnicula takes the absurdly adorable concept of a vampire bunny (in fact, he was Count Dracula’s pet) who feasts on the juice of vegetables. This series combines the super cute with the macabre and spooky in a very effective manner like no other show on here. Not only that, but this series takes this beloved character from James and Deborah Howe’s children’s book series, but really evolves the premise.
For example, the cartoon has a lot of fun with that idea that the juice from different vegetables will bestow Bunnicula with various supernatural powers. Garlic turns him into a skeleton bunny, rutabagas give him telekinesis, leeks give him spider legs.
You know, the typical things. The character is so much more than just a vampire bunny. Boomerang is also the only place that you’re going to find new episodes of this off- kilter series.
With the steady improvement in quality that the series has shown through its run, future installments of Bunnicula are going to be a must. Wacky Races. What’s It Like?: Rick and Morty meets Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. How Long Is It?: 1. Episodes (3. 4 Segments)Best Episode: “See- Saw to Arkansas/Creepy Trip to Lemon Twist”The elevator pitch for Wacky Races doesn't exactly sound thrilling: Let's put a bunch of weirdos in even weirder vehicles and have them race across America episode. The Slag Brothers, for instance, are two truly weird additions to the Hanna- Barbera universe. And yet, Wacky Races is some of the strangest, yet most satisfying material that Hanna- Barbera would ever put out. Upon recently re- watching the show, I was genuinely shocked at how far some of the gags on this cartoon went and just how risky it could be.
Each segment sees the wacky racers racing wackily through some real places in America. It’s not afraid to lean into stereotypes and broad characterizations, accordingly. While anticipating who is going to win the latest race is always entertaining, it’s just as fun watching the latest scheme of Dirk Dastardly and Muttley fall to pieces. They’re essentially Hanna- Barbera’s answer to Wile E. Coyote. Wacky Races has remained so popular with audiences that there’s also a reboot of the series that’s happening soon, set to exclusively air on Boomerang.
Courage the Cowardly Dog. What’s It Like?: Lassie meets Carnivale. How Long Is It?: 5.
