* Boomerang played the same shorts and ads literally all day back when they had the toy bumpers. This went away sometime in 2014, when Boomerang became ad supported and started to air ads for toys and more. But before then, here's what you'd see in a Boomerang break: promos for shows like WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs or WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones, those music videos, like the WesternAnimation/YogiBear one, and ads for new Cartoon Network episodes or shows. What didn't help is the toy bumpers itself, some of them are just real Main/NightmareFuel. Like, the "This Is" Boomerang bumper, the bumper with the push puppets moving around by themselves, or even the "Boomeraction" bumpers, which would pretty much cause seizures. While these bumpers were creepy, nearly every person who grew up with the old Boomerang wants them back.
