'''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]].


==External links==
In the UK, Toonami was its own channel that was later renamed as [[Cartoon Network TOO]].

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.

Toonami is an extension of Cartoon Network. It formerly aired Pokémon Chronicles and, after Kids' WB! stopped airing new episodes of the anime, Battle Frontier.

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.

The Toonami block aired for the final time on September 20, 2008.

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.

In the UK, Toonami was its own channel that was later renamed as Cartoon Network TOO.

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.
