    When Boomerang first started they would air old school Saturday morning cartoons and even though at the time I was in my mid to late 20's every so often I would have it on as I was doing other things because it brought a little nostalgia from my childhood. However by the early 00's they stopped airing those then I stopped even looking for the network. I'm not saying that they have to air these old school cartoons during primetime however seeing as how Time Warner owns the Hanna Barberra catalog I wish they would set times to air some of those old school cartoons and not just the ones from the 90's or later.
    I'll also add that while I don't think they are going away I would like for the History Channel and A&E to either change their names or live up to the names of their networks. The History Channel hasn't been about actual history in well over a decade and A&E has stopped doing anything art related even longer than that.

    • @greyeagle4388

      They are established brand names, that is why they use them. Let's face it there really isn't money to be made in showing history documentaries, so that's why that content went away. It cost them more to produce than they ever made on the back end. As for the cartoons, I liken that to oldies radio stations. When I was younger oldies meant 40's, 50's and 60's. By the time I was an adult 70's and 80's were oldies. Oldies today, well pretty much anything before 2000. As your audience shifts, and ages the definitions of the categories change. Cartoons are just so vastly different today, that I think most of the younger generation can't really relate to the ones from 30, 40, 50 years ago

      @@greyeagle4388 It is a complete misconception that there isn't money to be made on producing actual history programming. History channels on UA-cam is one of the biggest genres of channels that you can find on UA-cam. Also, some of the biggest movies that come out of Holywood are based on historic figures or events. The same is true with streaming services, especially Apple TV having two hits in Manhunt and Masters of the Air. Band of Brothers is still one of the most watched mini series on HBO, that came out 23 years ago and Netflix just paid a HUGE rights fee to air that and The Pacific.
      No, the problem was they wanted to be lazy but it has been shown that if it's done right and well people will in fact watch.

      It makes perfect sense. Cable networks have been moving away from producing original programming since the studios started launching and prioritizing streaming services. And the few networks that still make original programming make it available via streaming with no live tv or cable package required. So most cable networks are just a constant stream of reruns and old content and there a multiple free streaming services that provide all content anyway. With the cost of live tv streams being almost as expensive as cable these days, most people recognize it’s just as bad a deal as cable. Especially now that the sports content that was the major reason people who subscribed to live tv streaming did so is moving onto streaming on demand services. I really don’t get why anyone subs to a live tv service at this point

      But it also continues to earn quite a bit from the Department of Defense; Reuters reported last month that SpaceX, as part of a staggering $1.8 billion contract signed with the DoD in 2021, was building a spy satellite network for a US intelligence agency.

    Can we please shut down Freeform? It’s just a dying network that doesn’t need to be around anymore. Thats probably one of the the networks that’s most likely to be calling it a day soon. I’m sorry but Freeform has been a waste of space ever since it was ABC Family where they botched everything and screwed over good shows like Smallville, Buffy and Dawson’s Creek to show boring shows like Secret Life of The American Teenager. They shoved Buffy and Smallville to late night airings then pushed them off the network entirely because they were supposedly “too adult”. Yet, Secret Life of The American Teenager and Pretty Little Liars are much MUCH more adult so they’re run by a bunch of hypocrites and the network is a waste of time. Should have shut down years ago.

      @@artdogg50 well it’s also that they don’t watch the products they buy then when it gets too much for them, they hide it sadly. Smallville, Buffy and Dawson’s Creek are three examples of that happening. Freeform got real cold feet when the Angel loses his soul storyline from season two and an episode of Dawson’s Creek where Pacey is in K-Mart and walks past condoms. They blurred out the entire wall of condoms! I’m like more proof they hear the shows are popular, grab them and then are shocked at the outcome.
      Also, Smallville wasn’t even that adult. It was tame compared to shows like Pretty Little Liars and Secret Life of The American Teenager. Then, they replaced it with reruns of 7th Heaven which I’m sure they’re not too happy they were associated with considering the lead actor and what happened with him. So these people don’t know how to watch content before deciding.
