No Undies Mondays

It isn't what you think. Although that isn't a bad idea, cuts down on the laundry and hence helps reduce electricity usage thereby helping the environment. It would probably only be effective if everyone participated, one person not wearing their Bill Grundy's one day a week is hardly going to save the ice caps. The problem is, having grown up in a cold climate, I know that a revolutionary idea such as this would be scoffed at in such places, so I'm not suggesting that we adopt the idea on a national level. In fact, I'm not suggesting we adopt the idea at all.
No Undies Mondays is the latest attempt by the slackers at Boomerang! to justify running the same low quality cartoons they always run. Don't get me wrong, I like cartoons, I watch a lot of animation and given a choice between Lost or Quick Draw McGraw, I'm watching a poorly animated horse riding a poorly animated donkey every time. The plots, should one exist, are simple requiring little to no concentration. This is ideal for those of us with limited attention spans. Anyway, No Undies Mondays feature cartoons starring characters wearing, you guessed it, no pants. As this covers pretty much every cartoon Boomerang shows anyway, why they even bother coming up with lame ideas is a mystery. Just in case they need assistance with future titles, I suggest they should just come right out and admit that there is nothing new to see. Here are some ideas they can have for free:

• Totally Deja Vu Tuesday's - Ever had the feeling you've seen this before?
• Wasn't This On Last Week? Wednesday's - Sure was!!
• Three Way Thursday's - The same plot but with three totally different characters. Back to back, all day long!!
• Fuck It Friday's - The best cartoons from the last 4 days to get you in the mood for the weekend.
• Same Old Shit Saturday's - Vote online for your favourite Hanna Barbera character and we will show the winner in a 24 hour marathon. Choose from Huckleberry Hound, Captain Caveman, Jabberjaw or Grape Ape.
• Second Place Sunday's - Your choice didn't win? Don't worry, here's 24 hours of the runner up.

The sad thing is, Boomerang could be a really cool channel if they just spent some money. How many people look back on their childhood and reminisce about the shows they watched as a kid? Most people would love to see those old shows and introduce them to their kids. A couple of years ago, they used to show vintage Sesame Street episodes at night. Happily, this coincided with a period of particularly heavy pot smoking and I watched every night, laughing my tits off. The fact that they showed it so late led me to believe that they were trying to tap into the late night stoner market and maybe they stopped showing it to avoid competing with Adult Swim. I don't know. Where is the creativity? Why can't they take a chance? How many viewers are they going to lose? Do something different people at Boomerang, you lazy worthless turds....
