<P> TBS was also the television home of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) (formerly owned by Jim Crockett Promotions, which fell under the NWA umbrella); it carried the weekly show, WCW Saturday Night, from 1992 to 2000, and was the flagship program for the WCW before Monday Nitro launched in 1995 on sister channel TNT . Another WCW show, WCW Thunder, debuted in 1998 on Thursday nights; the program was moved to Wednesdays in 2000, before it was cancelled in 2001 when TBS executive Jamie Kellner determined that wrestling did not fit the demographics of either TBS or TNT and would not be favorable enough to get the "right" advertisers to buy airtime--- even though Thunder was the highest - rated show on the channel at the time . </P> <P> In the early 1990s, shows such as The Flintstones, The Brady Bunch, Scooby - Doo, The Jetsons, Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies shorts, Gilligan's Island, and others remained on the schedule as other older shows such as The Three Stooges and Little Rascals shorts and Leave it to Beaver were dropped from the channel to make way for more sitcoms from the 1980s such as Three's Company, Who's the Boss?, Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, and Saved by the Bell . Original animated programs such as Captain Planet and the Planeteers, 2 Stupid Dogs, and SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron were also added as part of the Sunday Morning In Front Of The TV block . </P> <P> In 1996, the Turner Broadcasting System was acquired by Time Warner; among the programming changes instituted after the merger was the addition of Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies cartoons that were released after August 1, 1948; they began airing in January 1997 . </P> <P> In 1997, TBS began to collect subscriber fees directly from cable operators, effectively causing the national feed to begin operating under the conventions of a basic cable channel, although it was still technically designated as a superstation . In exchange, TBS began to lease advertising slots to cable providers to allow them to locally insert commercials in the provider's service area; as a result, the channel began to broadcast fewer Atlanta Braves regular season games to a national audience . In 1998, WTBS dropped all of its remaining cartoons (which at the time were running under the Disaster Area banner), with those shows migrating to Cartoon Network and becoming the core of a new cable channel devoted to classic cartoons that launched several months later called Boomerang . </P>
