Cartoon Network Adds More Boom Airings To Schedule

Sonic Boom may be on a Christmas break for the time being but that doesn’t mean Cartoon Network is letting the show go to waste.

Starting Wednesday, December 10th reruns of Sonic Boom will be airing on weekdays at Noon Eastern as confirmed by the schedule on their official site. This is the latest time that the show will have aired at so far and the first time it will be airing on a weekday. Note that the weekend airings will not be going away either.

In other words it is more airings, more time on the network, and the opportunity for more ratings. Evidence is building that Cartoon Network is seeing something in the show. Whether this will carry over to the next wave of new episodes, however, is unknown at this time.

  1. Huh, looks like the show might survive after all. Either way, I have no intention of supporting Boom in any form of media. Tired of all this inconsistent bullshit they’ve been pulling with the Sonic franchise.

      1. Don’t snark at your elders, kiddo. I’ve been a Sonic fan for over 15 years, and this is my way of giving the series some tough love. …Even if it’ll probably not do anything, but I have my pride, dammit!

        1. Sometimes, it takes a kid to show how childish an adult’s conduct really is. I know too many elderly brats who haven’t learned much their entire lives while there are kids who have managed to become much smarter and even tempered in a fraction of the time. Throwing a temper tantrum will do nothing to change anything. How about thinking rationally and making a plan to do something about it rather than complaining and nitpicking?

    2. Uh, this isn’t IGN, by the way. This is a fan news site. I wouldn’t be wasting my time saying things like this when people (excluding trolls) here won’t agree anyway. IGN’s commenters would love your mudslinging. Either way, most people everywhere like the cartoon. Right now, you’re leaving people heads scratching and making a laughing stock of yourself. Is a feud/grudge really called for?

      1. Thanks for both of those comments, Hifihedgehog, I appreciate it.

        I understand people don’t like it, and it’s alright for them to show their opinion once or twice, but blatantly stating it, Tomoki, and saying the fact that I’m younger then you means my opinion is entirely invalid is kind of irrational.

        The only reason I commented was to point out that everyone understands you don’t stand positively on this ordeal, and continuing to point this out just makes you look bad, and doesn’t really show you’re a fan of Sonic at all, to be honest. 😛
        This is more or less a place for positivity toward the series, if you don’t like something involving it it’s best not to comment. 😛

        1. Alright, you win. I guess I’m just angry and venting my frustration over the situation. Sorry if I lashed out and came off as rude.

      2. You folks are too naive. Criticism and Negativity can actually bring some good into the world, because it can help bring improvement from learning from mistakes and flaws of the past. Positive and Negative go hand in hand; you can’t have one without the other in this world. It is the balance of nature. You may come to understand this soon enough, if the franchise keeps on the path it’s currently on.

    3. Somic has always been inconsistent. Back in the 90’s, you had shows like AoStH, SatAM, and Underground; as well as a wide assortment of comics/manga that deviated heavily from the game material. Heck, even the games are inconsistent, but they’re still endorsed by Sega all the same.

      “Sonic Boom” isn’t any different in that regard. Like everything before it, it has its fans and supporters. Not everyone will like it, but that’s their problem.

      1. Eh, that’s kind of the whole problem really. The Franchise being inconsistent from even back then has never been a good thing in my book, but that argument’s for another time, I suppose. It’s a big factor as to why the Sonic Fandom is the way it is. Sega created this monster of a fandom, and they won’t answer for it.

      2. Please re-read for comprehension:
        I know too many elderly brats who haven’t learned much their entire lives while there are kids who have managed to become much smarter and even tempered in a fraction of the time.

      1. No man, I’m good. I’m just venting my frustration, I guess. *sigh* I give. Uncle. You guys win.

        1. Just checking.

          We shall leave them to their fantasies of homeschoolers and kids on christmas breaks turning Boom into a smash success.

        2. Thanks for your concern. Sadly there’s nothing we can do about the situation, so I’ll just leave it be.

        3. 100Rings, I never said it was going to be a smash success, with the crap advertising right now it’s clearly not going to be HUGE. And please, quit acting like everyone but you is an underling and we’re just 5 year old kids fantasizing. Just because someone likes something doesn’t make them an idiot. There’s people out there who like the worst things imaginable. I choose to not follow the herd of mindless sheep and actually try something new, and no amount of telling me it’s all going to pot is helping your image at all, it rather makes you look like the child more then anything.

          I’ll not bother you two any longer even if you do continue to spit negativity toward something generally liked, just saying that continuing to do so doesn’t really benefit anybody. 😛

  2. Noon on weekdays… when the target audience will be at school. Not convinced that’s the best move, but I’ll wait for the numbers to roll in before passing judgement.

        2. Yep. I miss Homeschool. I got a wonderful education. Too bad my folks got forced to flung me into public school. Ugh.

          On-topic: I can’t wait to see the results for this.

        3. It’s becoming a bit more then a minority, at least in West Coast USA.
          Understandable if you’re from somewhere else, I could easily be wrong about other regions.

        4. I did some Google searching. One site mentioned a 75% increase in homeschooling in the US since 1999. However, the percentage of homeschooled children nationwide is only 4% presently. So, it’s greatly increasing but it’s not like every block in the neighborhood has at least one kid getting homeschooled by his or her parents or guardians.

    2. These airings are happening before any sort of holiday break is but soon the timeslot is more than justifiable for now.

    3. Well, winter Break in approaching very soon in the states. Kids don’t go to school during that time. It might bring in more viewers throughout Christmas.

  4. Although it’s gonna be like how Teen Titans Go is with how many episodes it has, which is only eight. Expect episodes to mixmatch for a good while.

    Other than that, don’t think I’ve seen a Saturday-only premiering show on Cartoon Network get pppromoted to weekday status that’s not Pokemon as of now. Yes, Pokemon is the only show on CN that gets aired on weekdays mornings as well (thanks overblown reruns of TTG.)

    I also like to add we gonna be seeing those 8 eps mixed up for a good while, according to the backdoor version of the schedule. http://t.co/jPlQ4j7pA7

  6. Tomoki,

    I’m so sorry you don’t like the show. Can I refund your money or issue you a credit?

    Bill

    1. Since he has refused to answer, can I take the offer in his place? I’d like one all-expenses paid trip to the Sonic Boom studios of OuiDo! Productions, please! 😀 If not, I’ll just settle with a second season of Sonic Boom if at all possible.

      1. They’ve only sent me to the Sonic Boom studios of OuiDo! Productions twice, so I can’t help you there.

        Bill

        1. Ha!

          Love the show, Mr. Freiberger. Don’t let the haters get you down. (And I’ve been a fan since 91!)

    2. Actually this is a good idea. Maybe you should should start paying people to watch that stupid show.

    3. You should be also sorry to the people who like the show. Because the show is so stupid that they went completely bananas.

      One guy (I think he was called Licht) was straight insulting everyone who didn’t like the show for being stupid and was jumping to conclusions so quickly, that when I cited you Bill, he replied something like:
      “I don’t care about ANY SHIT this Freiberger guys says!”
      Thinking, that he was defending the show, as he didn’t know that some Bill Freiberger was writer for Sonic Boom show.
      Seems that liking the show is no really about tastes, it’s about a being in a cult. Too bad that membership of this cult doesn’t require any knowledge about the makers of Sonic Boom show. And too bad that membership in this cult doesn’t require the ability to read the damn article to which they reply to (as there was stated that you – if you are really Bill Freiberger – were a Sonic Boom writer).
      Anyway, this cult is about showing this unbreakable devotion to any official Sonic related material, no matter how poor it is. It’s about “proving who is the real Sonic fan”. By an ironic accident of fate however, we were repeatedly taught that Sonic Boom was not made for Sonic fans. Despite that, I already had few guys telling me this: “Sonic Boom is not for Sonic fans” and “liking Sonic Boom is the ultimate proof of being a real Sonic fan”, sometimes in the same sentence even.
      That’s why I think you should be sorry for the people who like Boom. Seems that your “smart” show only attracts the most dimwitted people around the world.

        2. Agreed. It’s almost not worth comprehending the stupidity that is being thrown forth. Unless I am impressed by the behavior, I’m staying out of this crap. Looks like the comments section generally anywhere has been turned into a place for “fans” to spew B.S. about something that doesn’t satisfy them fully.

      2. Woah, man chill. I don’t like Boom either, but I wouldn’t go that far. Jeez… They’re free to like what they like.

    4. Wow, I wasn’t expecting a response from actual writers on the show. It’s fine honestly. I don’t hate the show, per se… it’s just not what I would want out of a Sonic show, but it is what is. Anywho… good luck to you and your staff on CN!

    5. …….so the actual writer for a kids cartoon feels compelled to defend his product to a bunch of grown adults.

      This says one thing:

      Mr. Freiberger is concerned with what adults say about trash kids entertainment.

      Why would the opinions of people who were told time and time again that they were “not” the target audience even matter to someone who is writing low grade early morning children’s fodder? Could it be that children really don’t dig Sonic Boom and goobers like that one TSSZ user “Kabam!” and his kind are mainly the ones tuning in for a 7am kids show? Could it be that in the end, if the show failed to connect with kids (which I STRONGLY suspect that it has) they could simply rely on the good ole Sonic fanbase that, if given a ghost of a chance, would sink so low as to eat up and defend a licensed Sonic rape simulator?

      Because the same kids who rejected Sonic Boom in it’s hideous video game manifestation would turn around and randomly embrace it in it’s equally hideous cartoon manifestation.

      No.

      Sawniq Knurdz are the only ones interested in this show and this has been the case regarding ALL Sonic media for QUITE some time now. You ALL know that they are hiding the specific viewership numbers and are sticking to undefined percentages for a reason. Try and scream “hater” at me for that one but you know it’s true in your heart of hearts. This show is appealing to yet again the hopeless, astoundingly lard-brained fandom; this is only proven by Mr. Freiberger’s bold and admirable defense of his product.

      The Boom initiative had to send one of their leading men to the front lines to try and salvage what little credit they have left. Can they not afford actual shills to do the job for them? The fact that the this fellow feels compelled to defend a kids show to a bunch of adults is sad in itself.

      Protip: Sonic throwing plungers at folks’ heads or Sonic making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches over and over again doesn’t constitute as the “smart comedy” you oh so sincerely promised us. Perhaps something less forced and random in exchange for something more situational and subtle would be a good start to improving the caliber of your product?

      Oh but wait….the show’s focus on raising awareness about the dangers and symptoms of autism would be lost. Well in that case, never mind.

      1. Its not worth any moments of my youth to even try to comprehend your BS, but I can say you just overreacted and made yourself look like a total idiot to be honest. I think Bill was joking, and why would he give a crap about your close-minded opinion? There are plenty of people who enjoy shows, and plenty who don’t. Just becaue somebody does doesn’t make them lard-brained. I don’t mean to be rude, but no wonder some of my generation is so screwy, if small-minded people like you are our influence.

        2. Not like I’m going to cower in the shadow of somebody who’s only out to piss people off and can’t take a hint. 😛

          “I don’t COWER!” -Tails

  7. Best case scenario the viewer ship at that time slot drop and the morning viewer continues to rise making it clear Pokemon was the real factor.

    Worst case scenario nothing happens.

  9. Eh in any case, the show will leave eventually. These morning fodder shows rarely span beyond 2 seasons…3 is rarer than purple Pikachu.

    Teen Titans Go being a……grotesque exception.

    1. I’m going to keep watching it because I love it but now I have another reason: to spite you and your shirty attitude on Boom as a whole.

        1. keep trying xD

          The fact that you care more than I do amuses me indeed.

          Why not give it another go.

      2. I could care less if you like the show or not. But I think it’s cute how you assued you were “sticking it to me” by declaring you like a TV show lol

        One way or another Boom will eventualy end. I am more concenred with 2016 as of now.

        But maybe someday your attempts to “spite” me will actually make me slightly perturbed. Keep trying.

        1. What, because your clever attempts to shit on everybody and everything here with your narcissm is so much better right? Because you could invest your energy into something more. It’s obvious you’re not a fan, so the fact you keep commenting the same line of things on Boom related articles really reeks of desperation.

          I would stress something else here but I have a feeling you won’t get it then claim something else that I’ve done as a result. So I’ll leave it here.

        2. I’m glad people like you are commenting on these posts 100rings, otherwise the 2-3 people that like Boom would still continue to make it look like the second coming of Jesus Christ when nobody cares.

  10. Pffff……This “holiday hiatus” sounds fishy to me.

    Even if it’ll keep airing from January onwards, I’ll give it 4-5 months before it gets forgotten.

    This Sonic Boom project is a complete failure. A terribly made Wii U game, a mediocre 3DS game, comics so tryhard and pathetic not even a kid would read them, and the cartoon……Easily, the most boring and unentertaining poor excuse of a cartoon I’ve ever seen. Just wait and see how it will be forgotten during 2015.

    Making a Sonic comedy…..thing at this point, right now when Colors and Lost World are seen as horrid example of storytelling, character portrayals and jokes, is like pouring salt on a big open gash. People are TIRED of it. And no, I’m not saying I want ’06 or Shadow back. I just want an enjoyable Sonic game with a plot that actually keeps me in awe and engagement, much like the Adventure games or the Storybook games.

    1. Pffff……This “holiday hiatus” sounds fishy to me.

      A lot of US shows take a break over the holiday season; Boom’s no different in that respect.

    3. If people are tired of it why is the show so successful since it started?

      I get that you agree the games are shit but this level of pessimism and acting like you speak for what everyone wants in the franchise needs to fuck off honestly.

      1. “If people are tired of it why is the show so successful since it started? ”

        That’s what I wanna know, since they all show percentages, but NOT a single number. If it’s the only show aired at that specific timeslot, no wonder it’s the “most” watched.

        “I get that you agree the games are shit but this level of pessimism and acting like you speak for what everyone wants in the franchise needs to fuck off honestly.”

        Pessimism ? What pessimism ??? I’m saying that there’s quite a chunk of people in the fandom that had FUCKING enough of “Baldy McNosehair” or “Eeeevil Haaam” and shit like that. I know that there are people like you who enjoy it, but after 4 years of the same damn stuff, this is the reaction you’re gonna get.

        1. I hated a lot of the humor in Colors and a majority of it in Lost World. But I enjoy the Sonic Boom cartoon a lot, specifically because it’s humor is written a lot better. Even though I prefer something more middle grounded, comedies don’t bother me so long as they’re written worth a damn like I feel the show is. It helps that there are actual writers writing it too.

        2. @Michael E. : I always get a laugh out of a Naked Gun, or Monthy Python, The Emperor’s New Groove, SpaceBalls, or Ed, Edd n Eddy……but this cartoon ? Hell naw.

          My major problem with the cartoon is that is BORING :

          – Sonic is bored and annoyed, and sounds and act like a depressed 40 year old guy in his midlife crisis.

          – Most of the other characters are also annoyed or annoying : Knuckles is Patrick Star 2.0 (the unlikable and insufferably stupid Patrick of later Spongebob seasons), Amy has no consistent character, one time she’s all happy-go-lucky and quirky, the other she’s a down-to-earth nanny, Tails is most of the time the same insufferable cynical nerd from Colors and Lost World (with the little exception of the 3rd episode). And Sticks is likable as a rash.

          – Lack of energy for a crazy cartoon. It’s all dull dialogues, characters standing still or sitting with annoyed/depressed expressions and tone of voices.

          – This show is more about Eggman than about Sonic. He’s basically the real pivotal point and protagonist. The show should be rather be called ‘Eggman Boom’ at this point.

          – Characters don’t have personalities, unless you count shapeless mass that reboots every episode as a personality. I.E. : Amy is the biggest example.

          – Almost entirely based on dialog, despite Sonic has NO LOGICAL REASON to be based on dialogue. Sonic used to be based on flashy and hectic action-packed scenes. In here, they’re scarce and forgettable. 90% of the show is a sub-par sit-com.

          – This entire project has absolutely no target audience. It’s meant for kids…….Yet the only people who talk about it are teens or young adults already familiar with Sonic.

        3. There are a lot of things about that that I disagree with and feel come from a misinterpretation of what’s actually being shown on screen. However, my comment wasn’t directed at you for an argument. It was simply a response. You can dislike it if you so desire.

      2. Thank you sir. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t give you the right to be such an insufferable asshole about it. You aren’t “Saying it how it is” when you say things like that, you’re being an asshole.

        1. I’m sorry, but where am I being an insufferable asshole ? Where am I calling out people by names ? Nowhere. I just pointed what the major aspects (and issues) of the TV show are, and rather than “opinions”, these are observations.

          You’re not being fair if you call people “assholes” just because you think I’m “shoving MAH OPEENION down yo throat LOLOLOL”.

          I just wanted to point out some things in hope that INTELLIGENT people would have actually think about the cartoon instead of saying “IT’Z DAH BESHT CARTUUN EVAH”.

          No hard feelings ?

  11. Oh, seems my comment was swallowed… can someone rescue it? Don’t worry, it’s not a nasty one, it’s just a random thought I had about five minutes ago 🙂

  13. My post got eaten, though I did call someone a name. I’m sure I’ve used far worse language on here though…

  14. Strange, not only is it not on, but it’s not even listed on my Mediacom’s TV guide, yet CN’s website lists the show to be on?…

  16. Post your favorite things from the first eight episodes of Sonic Boom below here. Positive, upbeat, optimistic banter is welcome. Remember, be courteous and respectful. Share your favorite joke, a cool moment between characters, a meme of a scene that was awesome, a sound bite or clip that you liked or anything else that you enjoyed. Ready? Go!

    1. Umm… Eggman being mean to Orbot and Cubot in the series is funny…? The voice acting is good for the most part? Uhh… It’s something.

    4. I love how Sonic actually cares about his friends. He didn’t groan like saving Amy or helping Tails was a job, he wanted to. I feel like his character came out here better then anywhere else. Knuckles in that cake, and the moment exchanged between him and Sonic was priceless, I laughed more then I have at a show for awhile. Also, I like how the show pokes fun at itself sometimes, like when Eggman turned into Sonic and basically mocked Sonic’s attitude. 😛 Sticks is a pretty good addition as well! Her reatction to dancing in “My Fair Sticksy” was great. Amy finally impresses me… Its the perfect mix of her Sonic X persona with a little independence. And while still retaining her crush on Sonic, I’ll take it. 😉 Also, Sonic’s reaction to Amy and Eggman playing fuzzy puppies in the live cast reading.. Thought that was kinda cool. The way they handle Sonic and Amy in this is honestly more finny then him being a total jerk for the sake of comedy. Knuckles, when viewed as an entirely separate character from his main series counterpart, is really amusing to me, and his comedy relief is well-handled and not forced like most shows… Anyways, I have probablu talked enough. 😛 Great show, helps me through some of my tougher days.

  17. You can tell something is quite popular when everyone and their dog is talking about it. If the haters and trolls really want the show to stop, not giving it attention would work. It’s kind of like willfully choosing to not watch a video clip of Justin Bieber if you think he’s stupid and he’s overrated. Don’t watch or talk about him and his ad revenue will plummit. Otherwise, any publicity is good publicity. The fact that two or three regulars in the resident troll club here start filling up the comment section with whining and persnickitiness is proof alone of this.

    1. Yeah, you are absolutely right. I have a bad habit of venting in public comment sections when my passions get out of control. I have to work on that…. Sorry about that. I will try to be more cautious when I post. You like what you like, and I respect that. Hopefully you will continue to enjoy the series and not turn out like me; a cynical asshole.

      1. I’m proud of you Tomoki. From now on I will respect you and your comments no matter what their contents hold. 😉
        100Rings on the other hand…

    2. If any publicity is good publicity, why would you rather silence us above anything else?
      You should just shut up and let us keep on “hating” since it only works out for your good, right?

      So shut up about haters lol

      1. LOL. So you are admitting that you want to continue hating it so the show continues? You love hating it because you actually love it?

        1. Hmm… Your logic seems a bit flawed, 100Rings.

          Maybe you’re the one who needs to shut up. 😉

  18. Okay this has gone far enough. After I took a break from this comment section, I have calmed down and reflected upon my actions. I just want to apologize for my behavior and apparently starting a war in the comment section. I didn’t mean to start this war, nor for things to get this out of hand, but I should’ve known better, and for that, I’m sorry. I let my own immature fanboy-ish nature and anger get the better of me and clearly caused some drama because of it. Let’s just all calm down. I don’t like Boom, but a lot of people DO like Boom, and that’s all well and good for both sides. No one is a bad person nor are they crazy or in a cult for liking anything or disliking something. The damage is already done, people have already wasted their time in this pointless argument, and passions have been running high because of it. Let’s just sit down, drink some hot cocoa and relax.

    I shall learn to be more considerate of others when I post comments and discuss opinions from this point onwards. I’ve clearly made an ass out of myself, and for that, I apologize to everyone here: especially Dolphina and Hifihedgehog. I don’t expect anyone to forgive me, but I can at least give a former apology, for whatever it may be worth.

    I shall take my leave from this article and bid you all a great day, and Happy Holidays.

    2. Tomoki.

      I’m going to frame this comment.

      This is quite possibly the most mature heel turn, and reasonable post I may have ever seen upon this board. You may never see this, but I gotta salute you for that.

    3. In answer, I do forgive you and I thank you for understanding and also for agreeing to disagree. And a Merry Christmas to you! The takeaway message here is each of us is entitled to like what we want and to not be thrown under the bus or be made to look like a fool just because our interests may be unique. The fact of the matter is all of us are guilty of having gotten caught in a loop and finding ourselves kicking a dead horse but that is okay because it is a normal part of being human. The important thing is, as long we get a hold of ourselves and drop things, everything will settle down and we will be able to eventually be able to come to our senses again with reference to ourselves and other people around us. Just so this isn’t forgotten, let’s always embrace who each of us are. Our differences are what makes us collectively stronger no matter what group that may be, including fanbases, because every one of us has a totally different perspective and special gifts that allow us to contribute in our own powerful way no one else could ever imagine!

    4. Tomoki, I have to say that’s the most logical thing anyone’s ever said on here. 100Rings, take notes on this, you could learn something for once maybe… 😉

      I forgive you Tomoki, we all have our moments like that. The best part is you realize it.

      Merry Christmas, God bless.

    1. I’m suddenly glad that I decided to empty the spam folder like I did. It made finding the eaten comments, including yours, so much easier. lol

      1. I think it’s time to get a new spam filter. 😛
        But seriously, none of my posts have been showing up.

  22. I’ve got to say: As much as I despise the Sonic Boom Games, the TV Show is by far the best thing to come out of this whole ordeal.
