Fall on Boomerang

Boomerang is also tuning and changing up its fall schedule animation fans all over the globe. While this is the time of year, that most major television networks and ad-supported cable outlets begin to reveal fall schedules, Boomerang joins the mix with an excellent twenty-four hour marathon of everyone's favorite classic cartoons. Boomerang, a sister-network to the Cartoon Network, is certainly one of the best places on television to find classic animation in all shapes and sizes and from just as many a diverse number of eras of animation as well. The end of summer is upon us, but that doesn't mean that fun-in-the-sun programming has to end as well:

Anticipating cool breezes and a changing of the leaves, Boomerang, Cartoon Network's exclusive 24-hour, commercial-free television home to classic cartoons, will celebrate the first day of autumn, Tuesday, Sept. 22nd, 2005, with a 24-hour marathon (6 a.m.-6 a.m./ET) of Looney Tunes classics appropriately titled Fall on Boomerang. Each short selected from the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes library features unlikely things that fall-from dropping ACME anvils and plummeting pianos to over-zealous characters who race beyond window ledges and mountain cliffs.

Among the many characters slated for the Fall on Boomerang salute, Bugs Bunny will dodge multiple falling objects (including Elmer Fudd) in such theatrical shorts as "Hare Trigger" (1945), "High Diving Hare" (1966) and "Bully for Bugs" (1953). Sylvester and Tweety will vie to stay Earth-bound in classics such as "Cat-Tails for Two" (1953) and "Tweet and Sour" (1956). And those ultimate champions of the chase, Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, defy all laws of gravity (unsuccessfully) in such high speed romps as "Beep, Beep" (1952), "To Beep or Not to Beep" (1963) and "Going, Going, Gosh!" (1953). Additional Looney Tunes characters lined up to make an appearance in the all-day marathon include Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn and the Goofy Gophers.
