Is Love in the Air for Johnny Bravo?

Cartoon Casanova to Star in Boomerang’s Annual Valentine’s Day Marathon. 12-8:30 p.m.

Johnny Bravo is a buff, girl-chasing mama’s boy who can’t seem to get a date in spite of his good looks and an even better hairdo. On Sunday, February 14th, the commercial-free Boomerang network presents the JOHNNY BRAVO ST. VALENTINE’S DAY MARATHON, showcasing Johnny Bravo’s funniest dating disasters in an eight and a half-hour programming block beginning at 12 p.m. (ET). The marathon will culminate with the 30-minute animated special, It’s Valentine Day, Johnny Bravo at 8 p.m. (ET), an encore of its Boomerang premiere in 2009.

In this episode, viewers learn that Valentine’s Day is in fact Johnny Bravo’s birthday, which might explain his penchant for amorous antics. He yet again strikes out with the ladies until Mama sets him up on a blind date with a real knock-out…literally. Meeting the girl of his dreams turns out to be a real nightmare during what should be the most romantic night of the year. Guest stars include former Saturday Night Live cast member Molly Shannon, “New Kids on the Block” heartthrob Joe McIntyre, the Brady Bunch’s Maureen McCormick and teen idol Donny Osmond.

“Here at Boomerang, we thought we would offer an alternative to all the sappy romance of Valentine’s Day,” said Stacy Isenhower, senior vice president of programming and scheduling for Boomerang and Cartoon Network. “Johnny Bravo gives us a chance to laugh at all the pitfalls of love.”

Highlights of the marathon include the following episodes:

• “Luke Perry’s Guide to Love” – 2 p.m. (ET) – Johnny unknowingly saves Luke Perry’s life, who is in town to perform his one-man show, “Oh, Luke!” To repay the favor, the TV actor agrees to coach Johnny through one date via a hidden microphone in Johnny’s ear.

• “Hip Hop Flop!” – 4 p.m. (ET) – A Hip Hop girl catches Johnny’s eye, but the only way she’ll look back is if Johnny gets all funky fresh. When the rap group “The Round Pound” comes to Aron City, Johnny gets a crash course on Hip Hop culture from the 300 pound rappers.

• “Intensive Care” – 5 p.m. (ET) – Johnny goes to the hospital to visit an ailing Suzy, only to find a beautiful nurse tending to her. The hospital is full of sick people, but Johnny has just what the nurse needs (or so he thinks), a heavy dose of Bravo.

• “To Helga and Back” – 6 p.m. (ET) – Johnny sends away for a mail-order perfect woman, but accidentally picks a Swedish woman named Helga instead. In an effort to ruin their “relationship”, he takes her to a wrestling match.

Just in Time for Halloween, Courage the Cowardly Dog Joins Boomerang’s Nightly Lineup

With a personality as contradictory as his name, Courage is a small dog with a big paranoia problem. Courage the Cowardly Dog, a half-hour animated series first appearing on Cartoon Network in 1999, chronicles the life of this timid pooch as he defends his owners, an old couple living on a farm outside the small town of Nowhere, from paranormal elements that threaten their simple existence. Time and time again, Courage must exhibit enough fearless ingenuity to rescue his oblivious caretakers Eustace and Muriel, who are none the wiser to the menace of such bizarre creatures as the savage Weremole, the sinister Katz, the devious French duck Le Quack or the misunderstood Bigfoot.

Coming to the commercial-free Boomerang network on Monday, Oct. 19 at 9 p.m. (ET), Courage the Cowardly Dog is the latest Cartoon Network original series classic to join the primetime lineup. The series will air nightly Monday through Saturday, and will provide a special Halloween treat in the form of a four-hour mini-marathon on Oct. 31 from 7-11 p.m. (ET).

“Courage the Cowardly Dog is a perfect fall addition for Boomerang,” said Stacy Isenhower, senior vice president of programming and scheduling for Boomerang and Cartoon Network. “It adds to our current roster of a new generation of classics, with a spooky twist just in time for Halloween.”

The series will air from its very beginning, with the first week of episodes including:

· Monday, Oct. 19: “A Night at Katz Motel” – Courage, Muriel and Eustace check into a motel run by a sinister cat named Katz. A very long night is in store for the three, especially after Katz turns loose his spiders. “Cajun Granny Stew” – A crafty fox cooks up a delicious Cajun Granny Stew to enter in a cooking contest, but he’s missing one key ingredient: the Granny. Enter Muriel. Courage must save her from ending up in the stew.

· Tuesday, Oct. 20: “Shadow of Courage” – When an evil, wealthy old man suffers a heart attack, a shadow escapes from him and descends on the farm, terrorizing our happy threesome. “Le Quack” – Muriel is struck on the head by a flying piece of the farmhouse roof and comes down with amnesia. Courage summons help, which arrives in the form of a French con-artist duck posing as a doctor.

· Wednesday, Oct. 21: “Courage Meets Bigfoot” – A hungry Bigfoot turns up at the farm. Courage is terrified at first, but he eventually befriends the gentle monster. Later he must save the creature from Eustace and an angry mob. “Hothead” – Eustace goes to an institute that promises hair growth, dragging Courage along with him. The consequences that follow are hair-raising, indeed.

· Thursday, Oct. 22: “The Demon in the Mattress” – Muriel needs a new mattress. The one she orders comes with a bonus: a demon that takes over her body. Courage must find a way to get rid of the demon and the new mattress. “Freaky Fred” – Muriel’s nephew, a deranged barber named Fred, visits the farm. Much to Courage’s dismay, he winds up locked in a bathroom with him.

· Friday, Oct. 23: “Night of the Weremole” – While gardening, Muriel is bitten by what she thinks is a rabbit. By the time she returns to the house transformed into a weremole, it’s clear her attacker was no rabbit. Courage must find the antidote. “Mother’s Day” – Eustace goes to visit his mother on Mother’s Day and takes a very reluctant Courage along with him.
