[kidswbyourself]“CW 4 YOURSELF!”[/kidswbyourself]



As with Fox Kids being replaced by Fox Box/4KidsTV/Game Station/whatever the hell they call it next, Kids WB has been morphed into another 4Kids block: CW4K!DS

This talkback is for discussion on how you feel about the change, about the new bumpers, and overall the new look.

Here is the first CW4K!DS schedule:

06:00 AM Will & Dewitt - Fair Factor; Draw
06:30 AM Magi-Nation - Enemy in the Sands
07:00 AM Monster Allergy - The Monster Next Door
07:30 AM Spider Riders - Keys to Destruction
08:00 AM Skunk Fu! - The Art of Truffling; The Art of Patience
08:30 AM Horrid Henry - Horrid Henry’s Perfect Day; Horrid Henry: Where’s Fluffy
09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales - Joy Riding Jokers; Cat Got Your Luggage?; City Dump Chumps
09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man - Market Forces
10:00 AM Eon Kid - A Warrior is Born
10:30 AM World of Quest - Rash to Judgment; Harvest Day (NEW)
11:00 AM Johnny Test - Here Johnny, Here Boy; Johnny Applesauce
11:30 AM My Goldfish is Evil! - Scoop Gets Scooped
12:00 PM Skatoony - Quizatori Gladihost
12:30 PM Chop Socky Chooks - Appalling 13

Discuss. :sweat:

Well, I wish there was a new Spider-Man airing, but alas, no such luck. Gotta wait until next week.

Wonder what type of bumpers they’ll use.

EDIT: Okay, so the bumps are exactly the same, just with the new logo. Except they don’t use the Kids’ WB water tower bumps.

And TMNT: Fast Forward joins CW4Kids on June 21st.

So, it looks like kids who only have CW4Kids instead of 4KidsTV will get to experience the phenomenon known to Wikipedia members as “British Serling”. :anime:

Well all the bumpers are the same right now, though I do expect it to change wen 4Kids fully takes over in the Fall.

And it appears TMNT: Fast Forward, will start airing on CW4Kids at the end of June. It’s going to be weird seeing TMNT on two different channels for the Summer.

Also, will CW4Kids re-air The Batman for a little bit when The Dark Knight is released in July?

I just hope 4Kids doesn’t pull The Spectacular Spider-Man off the schedule, that show’s good and the only thing I watch on Kids WB! anymore.

Is 4kidsTV keeping classic TMNT while CW4kids airs Fast Forward? Also how are they going to do this with two blocks. Whats 4kids plans to make CW4kids and 4kids TV different?

I just hope 4Kids doesn’t pull World of Quest until they can run through the thirteen episodes one more time. I’m starting to really like that show, and I want to record all the episodes before it disappears completely. :sad:

(I’m predicting they will run through World of Quest completely at least one more time, since thirteen weeks would bring it to mid-September, which also looks like when they’ll air the final Eon Kid episodes if the current schedule holds up).

I just hope they get through World of Quest once through. If they don’t even finish all 13 I’ll be mad since I like this show so much.

I could actually see them replacing Tom and Jerry Tales over Spectacular Spider-Man. Or maybe they’ll surprise us and replace Horrid Henry or Jonny Test. I guess it makes since to start Fast Forward in June if the new Ninja Turtles series is truly debuting on The CW 4K!ds this fall.

Fast Forward was an okay show, but it’s already received a whole bunch of airtime between the Fall of 2006 and the earlier part of this year. Also, the episodes are available for viewing on 4kids’ website as well as on DVD. I think it’s a bit too soon to be airing the show again…but maybe that’s just me, I’m not sure. :sad:

Looks like it’s a popular Russian childrens show called “Smeshariki” (aka Kikoriki) that will be joining the lineup in Fall (alongside the new Yu-Gi-Oh and TMNT). It actually looks pretty interesting.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CtymsoN2w9I

http://www.smeshariki.ru/
http://fungamemedia.com/.

Also joining this fall is a series based off Vivit-kun, the Ehime Broadcasting mascot, The mascots are a white/and red character named Vivit-kun, a anxious pig named Vivitton, a bird named Vivitobi and others, All of them wear a red square hat with 2 antennae, one yellow, the other blue, Also I’m not sure if the new Chaotic season will air on Fox or CW, What shows can we expect from the current lineup to stay in September. Write a continuation convo, a user provides his speculation schedule
Certainly! Here’s the rest of the dialogue picking up from where it left off:

Well, with Smeshariki and the new Vivit-kun series, plus the new series of TMNT airing in the Fall, CW4Kids is starting to shape up into an interesting block. It’s nice to see a somewhat diverse lineup for the network. Though I wonder if they’ll risk pulling some of their older programming…

With that in mind, here’s my speculation on what the Fall schedule could look like:

06:00 AM - Smeshariki
06:30 AM - Vivit-kun
07:00 AM - Magi-Nation
07:30 AM - Spider Riders
08:00 AM - TMNT (New Series)
08:30 AM - TMNT Fast Forward
09:00 AM - Johnny Test
09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:00 AM - World of Quest (if it lasts)
10:30 AM - Chaotic
11:00 AM - Skatoony
11:30 AM - Chop Socky Chooks
12:00 PM - Will & Dewitt
12:30 PM - Horrid Henry

I figure they’ll want to capitalize on the more popular shows while keeping a mix of new and existing series to maintain interest. Anyone have their own predictions?

That lineup looks plausible but I imagine they might move some shows around to find the right balance. I hope they keep Tom and Jerry Tales somewhere in there; it’s a classic that appeals to both kids and nostalgic adults.

True. I think they might aim for a mix that appeals to international tastes as well. For instance, Horrid Henry and Smeshariki could draw in diverse audiences. With new series’ joining this Fall, I think it’s possible we might see old series like Tom & Jerry Tales and Monster Allergy phased out to make way for fresh content.

What do you guys think will happen to shows like Spider Riders and Magi-Nation? Their airtime seems precarious to me.

I think unless they can keep a strong viewer base, both Spider Riders and Magi-Nation might end up getting phased out. They seem like filler shows at this point, which is sad because they have a unique charm.

But what’s more interesting is seeing which old series will be replaced by the new TMNT series. I have my doubts about keeping both Fast Forward and the new TMNT on the same block long-term.

It will definitely be interesting to see how CW4Kids evolves. I’m excited about the new additions like Smeshariki and hope they find room for everything without compromising on quality. Let’s just hope they don’t end up with too many similar shows. Write a convo where the new Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds is also coming in Fall, A user says with these 2 shows, he doesn’t see Goldfish continuing

With Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds and the new TMNT series also coming this Fall, I don’t see My Goldfish is Evil! continuing on CW4Kids. There’s just not enough room to fit all the new and old shows into the block.

You’re right. Goldfish has had a decent run, but it feels like it’s time for the newer, flashier shows to take the stage. Besides, 5Ds will bring in a lot of viewers given the popularity of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.

I think Goldfish had a niche audience, but it’s not nearly as big as something like Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. The competition for any timeslot is going to be fierce. Plus, the new TMNT series is likely to be a major draw.

Given how saturated the Fall block is becoming, I wouldn’t be surprised if they moved some of the less popular shows to inconsistent time slots or even brushed them off the lineup completely. With 5Ds, TMNT, and Vivit-kun, it’s going to be a challenge to keep everything balanced.

Yeah, if they start re-shuffling the lineup, Goldfish might not make the cut. At this rate, I’m just hoping they keep enough variety so it’s not just action after action with no break.

I think they’re trying to go for a mix of high-profile shows to draw in ratings. While I’d personally love to see Goldfish continue, it might be smarter for them to make room for shows with larger, more dedicated fanbases.

Exactly. They have to think strategically. With new powerhouses like Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds and TMNT, any series that isn’t pulling its weight is likely to get the boot. Goldfish, unfortunately, just doesn’t have the clout.

You know, I could easily see Vivit-kun replacing My Goldfish is Evil! in the lineup. Both shows are comedic, and it makes sense to swap out an older comedy for a fresh one.

That’s a good point. With Vivit-kun, they’d slot in another comedy that could potentially draw in similar viewers while adding some new characters and stories to the mix. It would keep the block feeling fresh without straying too far from familiar territory.

Replacing MGIE with Vivit-kun would give them an opportunity to retain that comedic element while also introducing viewers to something new and potentially more engaging. The promo clips for Vivit-kun look promising, and the characters are pretty charming.

Yeah, Vivit-kun seems like a smart move. It’s a cute, comedic show that could appeal to a broad audience, plus the character designs are really catchy. It might be just what they need to replace My Goldfish is Evil! without losing that humor quotient in the morning block.

Vivit-kun definitely has that comedic charm. Given how CW4Kids is shaping up, it seems like the perfect show to slot in there. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a fan favorite pretty quickly.

I agree. A show like Vivit-kun could freshen up the lineup while still keeping in line with what kids enjoy. It’s definitely comedic, but it has a different flavor that might draw in more viewers and keep things lively.

All things considered, Vivit-kun would be a strong replacement for My Goldfish is Evil! They need to keep a balance between new and familiar while making the lineup feel new and exciting. Vivit-kun could be the right ingredient to maintain that balance.

From what I’ve heard, Ehime Broadcasting is really pushing to get their characters represented globally. They’re aiming to make Vivit-kun a big international hit, so it makes sense they’d want to replace an older show like My Goldfish is Evil! with something new and compelling.

That’s interesting. Considering Ehime’s ambition, they’ll probably allocate a good amount of resources to promote Vivit-kun. With this kind of backing, it seems even more likely they’ll phase out MGIE to make room for Vivit-kun.

If they have such strong backing from Ehime, I wonder which of My Goldfish is Evil!, Johnny Test, or Horrid Henry is more likely to survive this reshuffle. They all have comedic elements, but I’m trying to figure out which one will have better staying power.

Out of those options, my money’s on Johnny Test surviving. It’s got a broader appeal and a more established fan base compared to the other two. Kids seem to really enjoy Johnny’s antics, and it’s been around for a while.

I agree with CyberCubed. Johnny Test has a lot of momentum and a pretty dedicated following. While Horrid Henry and My Goldfish is Evil! have their merits, I think Johnny Test is more likely to stand the test of time.

That’s a solid point. Johnny Test has been able to endure where other shows have faltered, and with its mix of comedy and action, it hits a sweet spot that keeps kids coming back. I’d say Horrid Henry is the next likely survivor, but Goldfish… yeah, its days seem numbered.

With Ehime’s push and emphasis on global representation, Vivit-kun could really strike a chord and carve out its own fanbase. Johnny Test will probably be safe, but Horrid Henry and My Goldfish is Evil!? I think there’s only room for one more comedy after Vivit-kun.

It’s going to be an interesting Fall season for CW4Kids. With all these changes and ambitious plans, I think we’ll see a lineup that’s both varied and streamlined. Everyone will have to bring their A-game, and unfortunately, that might mean the end of the line for My Goldfish is Evil! Write a convo where Summer’s lineup kicks off June 21, Gone is Horrid Henry, Goldfish, Eon, Quest and Johnny, Coming in is Chaotic, GX and TMNT, Also Batman is returning and a full hour of Spiderman, Very likely Test will be back sometime soon though

Looks like the summer lineup kicks off on June 21st, and there are some significant changes. Gone are Horrid Henry, My Goldfish is Evil!, Eon Kid, World of Quest, and even Johnny Test. Coming in are Chaotic, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and TMNT. Plus, The Batman is making a return and we’re getting a full hour of The Spectacular Spider-Man. Very likely Johnny Test will be back sometime soon though, considering its popularity.

Wow, that’s quite a shake-up! I’m excited about The Batman returning, and a full hour of Spider-Man is a great move. But losing Johnny Test, even temporarily, is a surprise. I’m sure it’ll be back, given its fanbase. But what do you all think about the new additions like Chaotic and GX?

Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX are solid additions. GX might particularly draw in a lot of fans who enjoyed the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Bringing The Batman back is a smart move, too, especially with The Dark Knight movie coming up. And that hour of Spider-Man will definitely make up for some of the lost shows.

Yeah, I think the Batman return and the hour-long Spider-Man block are going to be the real highlights here. Losing those comedies is a bummer, but I guess they’re trying to cater more to action and adventure this summer. With TMNT also in the mix, it looks like a pretty strong lineup.

True, it’s definitely a more action-packed lineup. I’m curious to see how long Chaotic and GX will stay on the air. And I’m sure Johnny Test will be shuffled back in soon enough. The network probably just needed to make some room for these big action titles over the summer.

It makes sense they’d move towards a more action-oriented block for the summer, especially with all the new series coming in the fall. I’m excited to see how they’ll balance out all their content when everything settles. But yeah, I’m definitely going to miss My Goldfish is Evil!

This also might just be a temporary summer lineup while they test out the new series and reshuffle for fall. If Johnny Test isn’t back by then, I’d be surprised. They probably know they can slot it back in and quickly regain its audience. For now, enjoy the Batman and Spider-Man hours!

Absolutely, we’ve got a lot to look forward to this summer with these changes. Each season brings its own shake-ups, but I think this summer’s lineup is going to be pretty strong, especially for action lovers. And yeah, Johnny Test will definitely see a comeback soon; it’s too popular to stay away for long.

That’s a good point. After the initial buzz from The Dark Knight fades, they might bring Goldfish back to fill in the gap before the fall lineup takes over. They could be using the summer to test the waters and see what resonates with viewers.

It makes sense to rotate Goldfish back in temporarily before settling on the fall schedule. By September, I think they’ll have a clearer picture of what works best. They might even use that slot for one of the new shows like Vivit-kun.

Yeah, I could see that happening. Goldfish might get a brief revival, but with all the new content coming, its return would probably be short-lived. The Dark Knight hype will be intense, but once it tapers off, they’ll need something to keep that slot occupied until the fall.

Exactly. Late summer is a prime time for testing temporary schedules, and My Goldfish is Evil! might just get that 11:30 AM slot for a bit. However, September will likely see a complete overhaul with Vivit-kun and other new shows taking the prime spots.

They’re probably keeping their options open for now. Goldfish could make a brief comeback, but I think by September, the lineup will be firmly set with the new series and returning favorites. This whole summer seems like one big test run for the fall.

I agree. Goldfish might serve as a stopgap measure before they settle the permanent lineup. And it appears like CW4Kids is gradually phasing it out. By the time the fall schedule kicks in, I bet we’ll see Vivit-kun or another new show in that 11:30 AM slot.

So it’s likely we’ll see a temporary return for Goldfish in late summer, but come September, it’ll probably make way for Vivit-kun or another fresh entry. The network is clearly positioning itself for a more dynamic and engaging fall lineup.

Absolutely, I think it’s all about positioning right now. Temporary slots will clear out older shows to test new ones. They’ll finalize everything as September approaches, ensuring the fall schedule is robust and appeals to a wide audience.

Write a convo in late July where for a few weeks 11:30 will become a second GX, then Goldfish will return..... but as a placeholder for this show
