Time Warner’s Boomerang TV channel is now available as part of a $5 monthly streaming service for the web, as well as Android and Apple devices.
This subscription service provides access to classic cartoons starring beloved characters like Bugs Bunny, the Smurfs, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear and more. Currently, more than 1,000 cartoon episodes are available for viewing, with more being added weekly for the entertainment of subscribers.
