'''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]].
'''Boomerang''' is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}}, operating as a sister station to [[Cartoon Network]].


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.
==Line-up==
Boomerang is well-known for airing many cartoons that came from the 1900s such as {{wp|The Flintstones}} and {{wp|The Jetsons}}, as well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on {{wp|List of programs broadcast on Boomerang|Wikipedia}}.


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


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.
===With Pokémon===
Boomerang first started airing episodes of the popular Pokémon series when it first aired the {{series|original}} in 2007, and after that in March of 2010. Currently, as of March 2012, the channel airs episodes of [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]]. 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>.


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