Boomerang

Classic cartoons from your past

If you were a child in the ’70s, you would have been spoiled by a diverse selection of quality entertainment on syndicated television – including cartoons. Thankfully, classic shows are still available; you just have to know where to look.

Boomerang is a network dedicated to favorites like Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Popeye, The Smurfs, Huckleberry Hound, and dozens more, which are now available to stream in a virtually endless buffet from your Apple TV. There are more than 1,000 episodes to whet your appetite, with new ones added each week, plus movies featuring many of the same characters.

As you might expect, making quality cartoons available to the masses doesn’t come cheap – you’ll have to pay $4.99 per month (or $39.99 annually) for a subscription once the seven-day trial is up. It all streams on-demand and ad-free, with a single sub that also works on iPhone or iPad.

Even these versions look a little too modern for our tastes... and don’t get us started on that consarned Scrappy-Doo. Now get off our lawn.
