24 hour Marathon of Classic Hanna-Barbera Toons to air November 12 at 6 am  (ET)

Boomerang’s classic cartoon franchise, No Undies Mondays, will air a 24-hour marathon, Monday, Nov. 12 beginning at 6 a.m., featuring an array of pants-less toons from the immortal Hanna-Barbera catalog.  Famed characters such as Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Augie Doggie and Quick Draw McGraw will be showcased in some of their best animated shorts—all that feature them without pants!  As with all Boomerang presentations, the marathon will air commercial-free on the classic animation network.

“Don’t think we haven’t noticed the recent rash of celebrities caught in public without their undergarments, unmentionables and underthingies. Suffice to say there is a trend and everyone knows the fashion craze started on Boomerang,” said Rico Hill, vice president of programming and acquisitions for Boomerang and Cartoon Network. “Boomerang will present characters who may wear formal collars, cuffs, ties and vests…but no underwear. Some of the spotlighted characters include Peter Potamus, Squiddly Diddly, Grape Ape and Baba Looey, to name a few.”
