Robin joins the team, and the fabled dynamic duo is also occasionally joined by Batgirl. Harley Quinn, Black Mask, Killer Moth, the Everywhere Man and a brand-new Clayface join the rogues' gallery of villains, led by the Joker, Penguin and Riddler, who ceaselessly torment Batman and Gotham City.

A spider startles Hunter, who falls into a hole to the center of the Earth and into the subterranean world of Arachna. There, he discovers a small group of elite warriors struggling to survive and to save Arachna from the attack of Invectids, a race of insectoids. The warriors are children/teenagers, each fighting with the help of their own 10 ft (3.0 m) battle spiders. They call themselves "Spider Riders". SPIDER RIDERS is produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment and BEETRAIN

FOUR EYES!: Emma is a popular, attractive 10 year old alien girl from Albacore 7 whose less-than-stellar grades find her having to repeat the fifth grade. When her upper crust parents are made aware of her poor performance and behaviour, they send her to a boarding school on Earth to teach her a lesson. Emma has to wear a special device shaped like glasses, which turn her from her usual pink squid like appearance to a human. A fifth grade human. Which is about as bad as Emma thinks things can get. Until she slowly discovers that two of her most obvious human traits are not readily accepted by kids: First, she’s nerdy. Second, she wears glasses. Put together, these things make her time on our planet even more unbearable.
Emma’s outward appearance lands her in with a couple of equally geekish humans named Pete and Skyler. Although it doesn’t take long for them to realize that they’re not that alike after all. When she morphs into an alien, Emma really does have four eyes! The name of the show is also taken from both the fact that the true alien form of the protagonist is literally having four eyes and, coincidentally, the glasses she uses in order to morph herself into the shape of a human being. Another reason is that the notorious twin antagonists Alexis and Roland Billingsford call her by that name. FOUR EYES! is produced by Pictor Media and PorchLight Entertainment, and is created by Darryl Kluskowski

In LOONATICS UNLEASHED, six descendants of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, the Road Runner, Tasmanian Devil and Lola Bunny each boasting special skills, unique powers and gifted with a firm sense of justice come together 700 years in the future to form a brilliant ensemble of superheroes who protect Acmetropolis from evil villains who have their own uncommon strengths. In the second season, new characters descended from classic Looney Tunes characters like Yosemite Sam, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird and Marvin the Martian make special appearances. LOONATICS UNLEASHED is exec produced by Schwartz and produced by Ron Myrick for WBA.

On May 24 2008, Kids WB becomes the CW4Kids. Write a forum conversation saying Kids' WB dies on May 17, and lists the May 24 CW4Kids schedule, oddly exactly the same as the April 12-May 17 schedule

Forum Title: The End of Kids' WB? What’s Next for Our Saturday Mornings?

Joie commented on April 24 2008:
What’s the news? I just heard from my friend that Kids' WB is ending on May 17. Is it true? 😱

Light Lucario commented on April 28 2008:
Yeah, it’s true! Kids' WB is officially dying on May 17. After that, we transition into CW4Kids on May 24!

Joie commented on April 29 2008:
That’s such a bummer! Kids' WB has brought us so many great shows over the years. What are they replacing it with?

biggdan22 commented on April 29 2008:
So far, all I know is that the schedule for CW4Kids looks exactly like the last Kids' WB schedule we had! It’s almost like nothing’s changing! Here’s what the schedule will look like on May 24:

Joie commented on April 29 2008:
Same exact shows? That’s... interesting. 😏 I guess it’s a smooth transition for kids who love the current lineup. But still, I can’t believe we’re losing Krypto, The Batman, and all those shows we've loved!

D Dubbs commented on April 29 2008:
I know right? It feels like an era is ending. 🙁 I hope CW4Kids brings some new content soon since it feels like we’re just rebranding.

Light Lucario commented on April 28 2008:
Yeah, I hope they don’t just stick with the same old shows forever. If they are going to be CW4Kids, they should make it fresh with some new material!

judyindisguise commented on April 29 2008:
Hopefully, we hear some announcements about new shows! But I guess it’s nice to see familiar favorites sticking around for a bit longer.

Light Lucario commented on April 29 2008:
Let’s keep our fingers crossed! Whatever happens, we’ll always have our memories of Kids' WB. Let’s keep the discussion going for any updates we get!

4Kids Talkback Thread V3 - A New Era Begins

biggdan22 commented on May 24 2008:
Well, I figured the last thread had enough posts and since a new dawn of 4KidsTV is starting, why not start a new thread for it. And coincidentally on the first day of CW4K!DS
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
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.

Sonic_Eclipse commented on May 24 2008:
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?

CartoonChaos commented on May 24 2008:
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.

veemonjosh commented on May 24 2008:
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).

biggdan22 commented on May 24 2008:
I could actually see them replacing 1 of the 2 Tom and Jerry Tales over Spectacular Spider-Man. Or maybe they'll surprise us and replace Eon Kid 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.

Sketch commented on May 24 2008:
Actually I think this is a good strategy (assuming they aren't on at the same time). They will probably double slot Fast Forward on CW4kids in order to refresh the current TMNT viewers to lead-up to the new season in Fall. They also will be able to hook some viewers that didn't have 4kidsTV in their area but do have CW4kids. Though admitedly FF may not be good for hooking new viewers compared to the 2003 series on 4kidsTV but in the meantime they play 2003 episodes as a follow-up to the Ninja Tribunal because going from Tribunal to FF probably would feel a bit odd. But if they really are going to skip around then they'll probably hit the highlights of several seasons.

This way all of TMNT before Back to the Sewers gets showcased in some form. I don't know if I could sit through Fast Forward again but I can understand why they put it on CW4kids and had the 2003 series on 4kidsTV. If all goes according to plan TMNT should be able to gain a lot of viewers over the summer and have a strong season in 2008-2009 despite the movie being out of sight and out of mind (which we all know is the real reason FF got a ratings rise and why the Ninja Tribunal did as well as it did).

I'm going to toss my hat in the direction of Tom and Jerry losing a slot as well. But Eon Kid is the weakest show in reruns right now I suppose (but it still has a few episodes it could show before it's over so I hope they at least do that). Spider-Man will keep two slots if it continues to do well in reruns. If not then it'll lose one. Skunk Fu might leave since it's coming to CN but they might keep it around because of Kung-Fu Panda. The 7 hour is going to stay the same I'm sure so I'll take a guess what the rest of the line-up will be when TMNT: FF joins.

judyindisguise commented on May 24 2008:
I'm still watching World of Quest, and it has had its one or two moments, but overall I think it continues to squander its potential. (Writers need to be replaced for sure, and the show's producer as well, for said squandering). I'm thinking it'll finish its initial run, but I'd be surprised if season 2 appears here in the States.

I'm wondering if Skunk Fu is a possible survivor simply because of the upcoming film Kung Fu Panda movie. Maybe the show's creators hope some of that film's possible success will rub off on them?

I can't believe that CWKids won't try to hang onto Tom and Jerry. Personally I don't care for it, but I can see it's a hit with its target audience, so why would CW let it go?

Daxiv commented on May 24 2008:
So... All these changes are so far Cosmetic? Okay that fine, but when are they going to develop their own little graphics.

Also I found it weird to see the logo on the corner of my screen. To me it felt like I was watching it in a different country.

D Dubbs commented on May 24 2008:
4Kids Reveals Another New Show.......

and we get to name it

Joetiful View commented on May 25 2008:
...what is this, 4Kids Jr.?

Daxdiv commented on May 25 2008:
Why do they look like the Happy Tree Friends? No I mean it a few of them look like the offspring of a few HTF.

Yes I did vote, and I voted of OHBOH.

Light Lucario commented on May 25 2008:
Yeah, that new show looks pretty weird. I'm surprised that 4Kids would have a show like this since it honestly does look like a preschool show, such as the Mr. Men Show. The choices for the show's name look even weirder. It could be a kind of comedy show, but I don't know. Maybe a trailer for it would make it look/sound more interesting than it is to me right now.

judyindisguise commented on May 25 2008:
Looks like it's a popular Russian childrens show called "Smeshariki" (aka BalloonToons) odd that was not one of the names listed to pick from. It actually looks pretty interesting.

These are the names to choose from:

OHBOHS
ROTATOS
GoGoRiki
KikoRiki
BalloonToons

D Dubbs commented on May 25 2008:
Okay...a few more updates from a recent conference call from 4Kids last week. First, news regarding Chaotic:
#1 TCG in Canada and at Toys 'R' US
Zenith of the Hive is the highest selling product at Wal-Mart
In the top 10 of all impulse buys at Target
Cards being uploaded from 162 countries
#2 TCG in Australia, after only being on the shores for a month
TCG will be available in 900 Best Buy stores in June
TCG is currently available in 15,000 locations, in June they plan to add another 5,000
Certain cards are selling for up to $200 on eBay
25 million cards registered online
Thanks to the alphanumeric coding on Chaotic TCG cards, counterfeiting cards is basically impossible, resulting in more revenue for 4Kids
Chaotic (the TV show) gets an average 2.3 rating with boys 9-14
Other interesting notes:
4Kids extended their license to Yu-Gi-Oh! until 2012
4Kids are trying to regain the rights to market Pokemon, Currently they only have the rights to dub the anime.
4Kids will most likely leave FOX after 2009, since their net loss is about $5 million from the block every year (it costs them $21 million, but they only get $16 million in ad revenue)

PC commented on May 25 2008:
If 4Kids is leaving Fox next year, then who wants to place bets on "The CW4Kids" turning into 4Kids TV by 2010?
Also I assume Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are next to move to CW4Kids, probably replacing Skunk Fu or Skatoony (or maybe even Eon Kid)

Light Lucario commented on May 26 2008:
I wouldn't be surprised if 4Kids did leave Fox by 2009. Based on some rumors that I've heard, it seems like they're putting a lot of their shows in the CW4Kids' lineup. I was thinking that they would keep some of their shows there, like maybe new GX episodes, to at least get something out of it, but I'm just kind of confused about that right now. If they do leave Fox, hopefully another Saturday morning block could start there. That would be better than having repeats of sitcoms or infomercials on Saturday mornings.

biggdan22 commented on May 29 2008:
Well it's here, as 4Kids begins a new era, as we prepare for fall.
CW4Kids has announced the new schedule beginning on June 21, and people here nailed a lot of the items right on the nose. Gone are Johnny Test, Skunk Fu, Eon Kid, Skatoony and World of Quest, which will be taken off the air right after it airs its 13th episode. Joining the block are TMNT Fast Forward, Chaotic, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and The Batman is returning.
06:00 AM - Will & Dewitt
06:30 AM - Magi-Nation
07:00 AM - Monster Allergy
07:30 AM - Spider Riders
08:00 AM - Tom and Jerry Tales
08:30 AM - Blobbit Adventures
09:00 AM - Chaotic
09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:30 AM - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward
11:00 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh GX
11:30 AM - The Batman
12:00 PM - Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl
12:30 PM - Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl

Since that puts the two GX's and Chaotic on at the same time on two different networks, I'm willing to bet that 4KidsTV will also be rearranging their line-up on the same day, probably having GX premieres move to CW

Light Lucario commented on May 29 2008:
Wow. If that's true, then that's just weird. I was so sure that they would have GX premiers on 4KidsTV, even in the fall. You brought up a good point about how changing stations would leave fans, at least ones without Internet access, confused. I also thought that they would keep GX on 4Kids so that two different Yu-Gi-Oh! series wouldn't air on the same channel. I kind of thought that's why CN stopped DM repeats as soon as GX started. They probably also wanted to give GX more attention since it was just started out.

I'm not saying that GX premiers on the CW would be bad thing. It just feels kind of weird because of two different series airing together, as well as how GX changed to yet another channel. Now that I think about it, I don't think that they'll have premiers of GX this fall. I think that they're doing it to warm the audience up to 5D's in their fall schedule. Pretty much like how they're having Fast Forward to ease into the new TMNT season. I would be okay if it was premiers on the CW in the fall, at least once I shake off the weird feeling I'm getting from it.

On another note, it would be kind of cool to see The Batman again. After watching some of the episodes of all of the different Batman series for that paper, as well as that review of the series on the main page of ToonZone, I kind of regretted not getting into the series, especially when I heard that it improved during the course of its run. Besides that, I thought that it would be fun to see it anyway. With that in mind, I should also watch more of that new Spiderman series. I didn't see much of it during the last week of Kids' WB, but I did like what I saw. Also kinda dissapointed Pokemon isn't airing at the time it used to air on Kids' WB,

veemonjosh commented on May 29 2008:
Well, so much for hoping to tape all of World of Quest before it disappeared...:crying:

goes onto Shout Factory forums to request that they get the DVD rights

Also, Spidey + TMNT in the same hour = BEST HOUR ON TELEVISION.

biggdan22 commented on May 29 2008:
You know, most of the changes actually make sense. They are bringing back The Batman no doubt to help promote The Dark Knight movie. Bringing Chaotic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and TMNT: Fast Forward over basically confirms the suspicion that all four are going to be on The CW 4Kids this fall, so start advertising the station they will be on now. We know that TMNT, Chaotic and Pokemon will be reruns, but the big question remains will GX be premieres or reruns?

D Dubbs commented on May 29 2008:
Yeah...and its kinda weird that GX and Chaotic are on at the same time on both networks...

Hahaha, 4Kids is making sure that kids have to watch their shows. They don't have any other options (unless you count E/I programming or Disney Channel reruns).

I'm a little sorry about World of Quest being dropped, because it had potential. It's about the only thing on the old WB I made a point of watching (hoping a miracle would happen and it would improve. Like I've said before, hope is like a drug to me.) Supposedly Canada will be getting 26 eps of the show. Maybe some of them will eventually find their way to the States, who knows. Ah well. Another series down the drain...

Joie commented on May 30 2008:
Wait, hold up! Did you just say that Johnny Test is getting the boot, but they're keeping Monster Allergy? 🤔 I never expected that! I thought Johnny was one of their more popular shows with all the crazy antics. How did Monster Allergy make the cut? It felt like it was kind of overshadowed by other series! I mean, don't get me wrong—it's a unique concept and all, but it's interesting to see what the network considers worth keeping. What do you guys think?

Joetiful View commented on May 30 2008:
Honestly, it’s a bit surprising to see Monster Allergy sticking around while they’re dropping Johnny Test. I figured Johnny had more of a following with all the action and humor. 😅 It makes me wonder if they’re trying to make room for something bigger with GX since it feels like a placeholder for 5Ds, which we know is coming soon. Since TMNT: Back to the Sewers, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension, and Smeshariki are already confirmed for the fall, maybe GX is just there to bridge the gap until they launch 5Ds!

Could it be that they plan to phase out some of the older shows in favor of all this fresh content? It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The strategy might actually work if it keeps the audience engaged until all the new stuff rolls out! What do you all think? 🤔

judyindisguise commented on May 30 2008:
Ehh, but I just saw this week's. Lord Spite has to be the lamest villian ever, even for a comic villian. My God, Drakken of Kim Possible was far better, because he had depth, and Shego, and he was occasionally really funny. (Like in the "Sick Day" episode, and the one where he kept trying to open that jar of gherkins). If a show about a quest has such an incompetent villian, then where's the tension? Or the drama that's at least occasionally needed to give the heroes' struggle any oomph? And again, the characters don't relate to each other very well, or in a very entertaining way. Too bad. Once again an episode of World of Quest gets buried in lame "jokes" and nothing of consequence. Only good moment was when Nestor kept his word. But overall, the quest itself isn't involving enough to hold viewer interest, and the jokes aren't funny enough to make up for that lack. Oh, and I take back the good things I said about Quest in the beginning. He's a bore when he's not damn annoying. I actually think the show would be better without him.

Yeah, this show needs to go bye-bye. I'd rather it were cancelled than continue to waste it's potential

Sketch commented on May 30 2008:
Ah, it's a pitty The Batman isn't right after Turtles. They broke a good 2 hours of comic hero action. Ah well...

I actually didn't think they'd go with Batman over JT but I'm glad I was wrong about that. It is obviously because of the movie coming up. So here's what's sad... 4kids seems to know better what to do with WB's shows than WB or CN does.

CyberCube commented on May 30 2008:
Funny how 4kids has gone from being hated to being well... "tolerated" I think is the word, but at least they're making some decent work for themselves.

Anyways here is the new 4Kids TV schedule starting June 21:

07:00 AM Viva Pinata
07:30 AM Viva Pinata
09:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
09:30 AM Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
10:00 AM Sonic X
10:30 AM Dinosaur King
11:00 AM Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
11:30 AM Winx Club
12:00 PM The Cramp Twins
12:30 PM Viva Pinata

Also here is the way the schedule is now (till June 14)

07:00 AM Viva Pinata
07:30 AM Viva Pinata
09:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
09:30 AM Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
10:00 AM TMNT: Fast Forward
10:30 AM Dinosaur King
11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX
11:30 AM Winx Club
12:00 PM Chaotic
12:30 PM Viva Pinata

I assume Battle Dimension will move to CW4Kids once CW4Kids is done rushing through S1 of DP

Undrave commented on May 30 2008:
Well to continue on what we were discussing...it seems painfully obvious that 4Kids has no faith at all in the 4KidsTV block anymore and want to fill it with old shows while they concentrate on their shiny new toy.

Keee commented on May 30 2008:
You’re absolutely right. It does seem like 4Kids TV has been left in the dust. With all the recent changes, it feels like they’re just trying to keep afloat rather than push for anything new. It’s disappointing to see so many shows get cut while they focus on bringing in older hits. I hope they can revive the block and push for more innovative content in the future!

judyindisguise commented on May 30 2008:

Remember, if you like Skunk Fu!, it’s time to start bidding farewell. 😢 I just heard that it’s being replaced come June 21, and honestly, I’m not too surprised. While it had its charm, it never really managed to break through and capture a solid audience like some of the other shows.

The good news, though? It looks like we’ll be getting something fresh with Chaotic taking its spot in the lineup! It has that competitive edge and an intriguing premise that I think will resonate well with fans.

So, let’s enjoy Skunk Fu! while we can, but keep those fingers crossed for an exciting new adventure with Chaotic! What do you all think? Are you sad to see Skunk Fu! go, or ready for a change?

D Dubbs commented on May 30 2008:

You know, I've been thinking about World of Quest and its impending cancellation. Honestly, I see its ending more as a mercy kill than anything else. 😬 I mean, while it had potential, the execution just never really hit the mark. The characters were often flat, and the plotlines felt recycled and uninspired. It was like they were desperately trying to inject humor, but it often fell flat, leaving viewers more frustrated than entertained.

The villain, Lord Spite? Please! It’s hard to rally any tension or excitement around a character who’s that one-dimensional. I kept hoping for a turnaround, but it never came. Maybe it's for the best that they’re pulling the plug. Sometimes you just have to let a show go if it’s not delivering. This gives the space for something fresh and hopefully better.

So, I suppose in a way, they’re doing all of us a favor. I’d rather see it end now than keep dragging on and disappoint even more! What do you all think?

hU commentd on May 30 2008:
They're probably thinking why should they supply new shows to a block that is ending in a years time..BUt at the same time it isn't fare for kids who are watching to just have two shows running new episodes(Viva & Dino) while the others are in rerun. I think they should at least have 3 new series on the line up. But 4KIdsTV looks Blah though while CW4Kids looks Banging.

Joetiful View commented on May 30 2008:
What's sad about this is that (just IMO), the 4KidsTV lineup is the best it's been in quite a while, what with Kirby and Sonic X back, plus new Dino King and Viva Pinata episodes. Also didn't 4Kids say Viewtiful Joe was coming to one of their blocks in the fall?

Macattack commented on June 4 2008:
I'm currently staring at the fall lineup for the CW4kids. Holy moley. :eek: It's obvious at this point 4kidsTV is getting the shaft while they're frontloading on the CW4kids. Fox probably isn't too happy about that . . . I hope that Fox formally gets back into the SatAM business soon.

And once again, World of Quest was a letdown. Not that it had far to go. Geez...:shrug:

Following them are Team Rocket, a villainous group that becomes obsessed with stealing Ash's Pikachu. Pokemon: The Beginning is currently streaming online at 4kids.tv, the official 4Kids website.

After Ash lost in the Kanto Pokémon League against one of his rivals, Ritchie, he was asked by Professor Oak to retrieve a mysterious Poké Ball, the GS Ball, so he could study it. In doing so, Ash traveled through the Orange Islands with Misty while Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy for a while. They were soon accompanied by a Pokémon Watcher named Tracey Sketchit and soon after sailing through the islands with the help of a lost baby Lapras. This series ended with Ash managing to win the Orange League.

Pokemon: The Johto Journeys - Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash and Misty reunite with Brock and set out on the next stage of their Pokémon journey—the Johto region! Though he still has an errand to run for Professor Oak, Ash jumps with both feet into the Johto League, taking on a couple of Gym Leaders and adding Pokémon like Totodile and Chikorita to his team. Pokemon: The Johto Journeys currently streams online at 4kids.tv, the official 4Kids website.

Pokemon Advanced Generation follows Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum, and his electric mouse partner Pikachu as they collect Gym Badges so they can compete in the Hoenn League competition. Along the way, they are joined by Brock, the former leader of the Pewter City Gym, and the ten-year-old Pokémon Coordinator May and her younger brother, Max, as May competes in Pokémon Contests with the aim of earning Ribbons so she can enter the Hoenn Grand Festival. Pokemon Advanced Generation currenly streams online at 4kids.tv, the official 4Kids website.

Light Lucario commented on June 10 2008:
It seems that 4Kids is pretty much putting almost all of their shows onto the CW. They seem to be keeping Viva Pinata, Dinosaur King, Sonic X, Cramp Twins and Kirby on 4KidsTV. I doubt that they're expecting much from that lineup since they're putting much more focus on the lineup for CW. I wonder if this definitely means that they'll end their contract with FOX after this year. I have a feeling that it does.

I'm also still a bit surprised that they would put GX on the CW when its still in the middle of the season. Not to mention how its never aired on the CW before. I guess that they want to get people more interested in Yu-Gi-Oh! for 5D's this fall and it would work out better with new episodes rather than repeats. I would hope that they mention that GX will air on the CW4Kids after this week's episode, considering how the change happens a week from this Saturday. Well, as long as I can still watch the rest of the series on CW4Kids, then I'm happy. And this does give me a chance to check out more of the CW4Kids before fall. Did they already announce the schedule for the CW4Kids for June 21st? I wasn't sure if that was mentioned or if it was just a prediction schedule.

biggdan22 commented on June 10 2008:
I think that 4Kids will expedite this Kooky Klicks series they announced they are making today and try to have it for 4KidsTV this fall. If so, then this is the list we have for both blocks

CW4Kids:
TMNT: Back to the Sewer
Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension (when it inevitably moves to the block from 4Kids TV)
Smeshariki
Viewtiful Joe S2
The Spectacular Spider-Man S2
Huntik: Secrets and Seekers (Won't be till mid-season)
Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight (again, not till midseason)
One Piece

4Kids TV:
Chaotic: M'arrilian Invasion (I assume it will move to CW eventually, assuming they rush through S1 like they're doing with Pokemon)
Di-Gata Defenders
Biker Mice from Mars
Kooky Klicks
Pirate Islands: The Lost Treasure of Fiji
Dinosaur King (might move to CW, who knows?

Rolling Cloud commented on June 11 2008:
The rest of the dubbed episode titles for the current GX season have been revealed:

The Ultimate Face Off Part 2
The Power Within Part 1
The Power Within Part 2
Return of the Supreme King Part 1
Return of the Supreme King Part 2
Return of the Supreme King Part 3
Remembering Jaden

D Dubbs commented on June 11 2008:
I still can't believe the number of people complaining about 4Kids's decision to shuffle the Pokemon voice cast, like, it happened 2 years ago, deal with it.

Also love those GX titles, I assume those have already aired in another English country

Rolling Cloud commented on June 11 2008:
Hey, just wanted to jump in about those Yu-Gi-Oh! GX titles! ✨ Yes, they have indeed aired in other English-speaking countries already, like Canada and Australia. The titles were revealed through various broadcasting schedules and episode guides over there, which means we’re just getting a taste of what’s to come in the U.S.!

Fans overseas have had a chance to enjoy those episodes for a while now, and I can tell you that the story really ramps up in those arcs! We get some major character development and intense duels that really test our heroes. If you haven’t seen them yet, you’re in for a treat! Just be ready for some serious cliffhangers! 😅 I'm looking forward to seeing how they translate over to our airwaves and how the characters evolve, especially with Jaden and his journey!

Let’s hope that CW4Kids gives them a good airtime slot so we don’t have to wait too long! What are you most excited about?

Lots of stuff going on this week.

First off, I'm surprised that out of the 18 available spots, Chaotic only has one. I thought it'd at least have two, if not three.

Second, it's kinda interesting to see Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in the 11:00 AM spot, which is where the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series aired on Kids' WB for the majority of its run. It's almost...nostalgic.

Third, The Batman is starting at season five, which is good for me, since that's the only season I haven't seen. :D All the other new additions, plus Chaotic and Spider-Man start at episode one.

And finally, that Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode is a repeat (it's the start of the two-parter before the current three-parter), so looks like it'll take five weeks before we get to premieres again.

Undrave said:
Well to continue on what we were discussing...it seems painfully obvious that 4Kids has no faith at all in the 4KidsTV block anymore and want to fill it with old shows while they concentrate on their shiny new toy.

If I was 4kids I would do the same thing. They are losing $5 million a year with their deal with Fox and with the arrangement they have with The CW they are expecting to off-set that amount and make a profit. So it makes sense for them to stack the deck towards that goal. They made it very clear they do not want anything more to do with Fox unless they can offer them a better deal (one where they could turn a profit I would think). No use throwing more money into a sinking ship!

Undrave commented on June 11 2008:
Then maybe its part of a scare tactic to get Fox to reconsider the deal?

Light Lucario commented on June 11 2008:
Oh man. So there won't be any new episodes of GX for five weeks? That bites. Seriously, they have the episode titles so I don't understand why they don't start right where they'll leave off after this Saturday. I doubt that it would make things less confusing for newcomers for the series. Oh well. I'll still watch them just because they're on and considering how GX barely gets any DVD releases, I don't know when I'll seem them again. Plus, those episodes have been really fun to watch. Hopefully, Pokemon will have some interesting episodes because outside of that, Dinosaur King and some other repeats on both blocks, I won't have much to watch on Saturday morning. At least I only have to wait until the middle of July to see the new episodes, which is better than the wait for new episodes after CN dropped the show.

I actually forgot that Yu-Gi-Oh! was on that same time slot during most of its run. That does give kind of a nostalgic feeling to it. Of course, GX has aired on that same time over six months. Still, its nice to see that they're, in a way, relating to both series.

D Dubbs commented on June 11 2008:
I'm not sure that Fox really cares too much about 4Kids' programming. There's barely any cross-promotion between Fox and 4Kids TV (i.e., you don't see promos for TMNT during American Idol or promos for House during Dinosaur King).

As a 4Kids rep said last month, they want out on Fox, unless they offer them a really good deal. Plus, it's kind of hard to imagine 4Kids programming two Saturday morning blocks for a substantial period of time.

SonicEclipse commented on June 11 2008:
I find it sad that 4Kids is only using 4Kids TV as a place for their older shows while moving the big names to CW4Kids, and that they want out of FOX. This is what I predicted though, and I guess its really the best way to go when looking at from a business stand point. I hope FOX programs their own Saturday morning block again, if not than I hope they can find a decent animation company to take over when 4Kids leaves in '09. Please no infomercials, talkshows, or news shows. There are enough networks running that garbage already.

It just hit me, but I remember reading on various Sonic forums that 4Kids' rights to Sonic X were suppose to expire back in '07. Obviously this was never true or the lisence was renewed, or else they wouldn't be streaming episodes on 4Kidstv.com, nor would they be beginning from episode 1 on June 21st.

This is also the first time I've heard about 4Kids losing the rights to Shaman King in July '08. But I don't think thats true, because I emailed 4Kids at the end of December about a possible Shaman King DVD release and they told they have plans to release the series on DVD sometime in '08. Could 4Kids be planning to release Shaman King with Shout Factory like they are with Dinosaur King? Also about CW4Kids, I'm sure that once One Piece gets out of it's hiatus stupor, it will move to CW4Kids

D Dubbs commented on June 14 2008:
Hmm...I found it pretty odd that there was no cross-promotion between the blocks this morning. How are Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX viewers supposed to know that the shows are going air on The CW now? Oh well, they'll figure it out eventually, I suppose.

Light Lucario commented on June 14 2008:
I was thinking the same thing myself when I was waiting this morning's GX episode. I was actually expecting that they would announce the move to the CW4Kids after the episode, but they were making a bigger deal for the return of Sonic X and Kirby to the 4KidsTV block. If some fans of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Chaotic don't have access to a computer, then they'll probably look it up on TV Guide. That or maybe 4Kids will tell them about the change next week right before the shows replacing their time slots air. I remember that they did something like that for a couple of weeks when they put Sonic X only on their website.

biggdan22 commented on June 14 2008:
Typically they've announced shows that were on their network when they have had time changes, but they typically haven't announced them when they have network changes. I can say they were announcing all 4 changes for next week on The CW4Kids today, so maybe they'll mention it next week, but I doubt they mention it unless they start advertising that they are programming two blocks.

SonicEclipse commented on June 14 2008:
4Kids probably didn't mention anything about Chaotic, TMNT, Pokemon and YGOGX moving to The CW this morning because they're probably not allowed to. I don't think FOX would like it very much if they advertised shows that are for a different and competing network. It doesn't matter if the shows are moving to another 4Kids block, its still a separate Network. I know I wouldn't allow it, unless 4Kids and CW were paying my network to do so.

D Dubbs commented on June 18 2008:
Looks like the 4Kids.tv website is going under some reconstruction. Gone are the show icons at the top of the front page, and instead we have...spinning Pac-Man icons?

EDIT: Okay, the show icons have been uploaded, and they're pretty much the same as before, except now there's one for Kirby. I guess they'll add Kirby episodes to the "Watch" section eventually.

Also here are the schedule for both blocks for the next few weeks

CW4Kids.com now has elements of 4kids.tv, such as the account system and reward points system, and also the Chaotic virtural scanner. It's got the new schedule on the side too.
Looks pretty cool seeing Spider-Man and Batman on a 4Kids site, check it out.

I wonder if this means CW4Kids will have a new look this Saturday.

D Dubbs commented on June 20 2008:
Check out this article in the Buzz section:
This weekend is the first time you can check out what the CW4Kids has to offer. We’re bringing you some of the 4Kids shows as well as some popular CW shows.

Coming your way are Will & Dewitt, Magi-Nation, Monster Allergy, Spider Riders, Tom and Jerry Tales, Blobbit Adventures, Chaotic, two episodes of The Spectacular Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Batman, and two episodes of Pokémon!

So get ready, get set, and watch all morning long starting this Saturday and let us know what you think!

Interesting that they call it the first time you can watch CW4Kids. Well, I hope they create new bumps for tomorrow, rather than being lazy and sticking their logo on the former Kids' WB bumps (even if it does look pretty decent).

PC commented on June 20 2008:
Well really, they say the first time to "check out what CW4Kids has to offer", probably referring to the "new" 4Kids shows. I don't think they really mean the first "airing" of CW4Kids.

I'd love to have some new bumps though. I wonder if they'll gradually shift from the pseudo-WB look they have going on to turn it into the new 4KidsTV, keep the look they have now, or have a sort of "combo" of the two.

Bets on how long it takes before 4Kids goes all "G4" on us and changes the block name to 4KidsTV?

Joetiful View commented on June 21 2008:
No new bumpers today, still the same ones from Kids' WB

D Dubbs commented on June 23 2008:
Hey everyone! The ratings for CW4Kids on June 21st are in, and it’s an interesting mix! With all the changes and new shows being introduced, I was curious to see how everything performed. Here’s the rundown:

Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl – 2.1 million viewers
The Spectacular Spider-Man – 1.8 million viewers
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX – 1.5 million viewers
Tom and Jerry Tales – 1.3 million viewers
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward – 1.2 million viewers
Will & Dewitt – 1.1 million viewers
Monster Allergy – 1.0 million viewers
Chaotic – 900,000 viewers
Magi-Nation – 800,000 viewers
Spider Riders – 750,000 viewers
Blobbit Adventures – 600,000 viewers
Biggest Surprises:

Pokémon and Spider-Man clearly showcased their popularity, with both shows drawing in impressive numbers. The nostalgic factor for Pokémon and the fresh spin on Spider-Man definitely seem to have resonated with viewers.
Chaotic performed decently for its premiere, but it’s not quite the breakout hit some might have hoped for.

Joetiful View commented on June 23 2008:
Those ratings are really fascinating! It’s great to see Pokémon hit the top spot; it's always been a powerhouse for the network. But I’m pleasantly surprised to see Spider-Man right behind it — guess the new visuals and storyline are really engaging the audience!

D Dubbs commented on June 23 2008:
Absolutely! And seeing Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in the third spot is encouraging, especially since it’s continuing a well-loved franchise. It seems like viewer loyalty to these brands led to strong openings, which is promising for future episodes. Definitely surprised to see Will and Dewitt and Monster Allergy peform well, The latter because it flunked on Kids' WB (only getting good ratings in the past few months, good, Zick deserves all the ratings he can get), and the former for not being that good (Dewitt in particular can be rather annoying, but hey, if kids like him, who am I to complain)

SonicEclipse commented on June 23 2008:
I’m a little disappointed that some shows like Magi-Nation and Blobbit Adventures didn’t perform as well. They’re both unique concepts and have potential, but it seems they struggled to grab attention against the more recognizable titles. I wonder if they’ll make any adjustments in the coming weeks?

Light Lucario commented on June 23 2008:
Yeah, the competition is tough! I think it’ll take some time for new shows like Chaotic and Magi-Nation to find their footing. Perhaps marketing or additional cross-promotion could help boost viewership. Plus, I’m hoping 4Kids implements new bumpers sooner rather than later to help refresh the block’s identity!

judyindisguise commented on June 23 2008:
It'll be interesting to see how they adapt based on these ratings! Obviously, they need to play to their strengths with what viewers already love (like Pokémon and Spider-Man). I bet we’ll see some programming tweaks if certain shows continue to struggle! Also is this a highness dream or is Will and Dewitt actually getting good ratings?

D Dubbs commented on June 23 2008:
Right! The next few weeks will be crucial. If shows can maintain or grow their audience, they'll likely stay put, but any drops may lead to quick changes. So, fingers crossed for our new favorites! Let’s keep our eyes on the ratings sweep! Also judyindisguise, you're not hallucinating, Will and Dewitt is actually getting good ratings,

Joetiful View commented on June 23, 2008:

Woah, Monster Allergy is actually pulling decent numbers? That’s surprising! I remember it not being super popular during its initial run on Kids' WB. It’s interesting to see how it’s finding a foothold now on CW4Kids.

SonicEclipse commented on June 23 2008:

Yeah, it seems like Monster Allergy has been holding its own pretty well throughout its current run since it started back in March. I think maybe people are starting to appreciate its unique premise and fun characters more now.

SonicEclipse commented on June 23 2008:

I have to admit, I'm really worried about the fate of Blobbit Adventures after seeing those ratings. With only 600,000 viewers, that puts it towards the bottom of the list, and I'm concerned it could be one of the first shows to get the axe if things don't improve. It's such a charming concept, and I really enjoy the colorful animation and the fun adventures Blobbit and her friends go on.

But with established hits like Pokémon, Spider-Man, and even Tom and Jerry Tales dominating the ratings, it feels like shows that don’t immediately resonate with viewers are going to struggle to stay on air. I just hope the network gives it a chance to find its audience. Maybe it just needs a stronger marketing push or some cross-promotions to catch on a little better?

Has anyone else been feeling anxious about this? I mean, it's such a sweet show that promotes creativity and friendship! It just deserves more time to grow, you know?

News about the Chaotic game:

June 23, 2008 - 8:03 AM EDT

Chaotic(R) Trading Card Game's Momentum Continues with Sellout of New Silent Sands(TM) Booster Release

The Chaotic® Trading Card Game, which integrates a collectible trading card game with a unique online multi-player experience, has hit another significant milestone with the “sellout” of the new (third overall) Chaotic booster release, Silent Sands, which was announced today by 4Kids Entertainment (NYSE:KDE) and its wholly owned subsidiary TC Digital Games.

“We have had brisk pre-orders from comic and hobby stores and big box retailers of the highly anticipated ‘Silent Sands’ booster series resulting in an effective “sellout” of our inventory,” said Bryan C. Gannon, President and CEO of TC Digital Games. “Our Chaotic retail and distribution partners have been doing an incredible job supporting Chaotic and helping us build the fan base for The Chaotic® Trading Card Game.

“Kids across North America and in several other international territories are registering their enthusiasm for our compelling game and brand in significant numbers at retail and online,” said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO, 4Kids Entertainment.

Silent Sands was released to comic and hobby stores on June 18, 2008 and will be available at mass market retailers in early July.

The Chaotic Online Game Experience also continues to increase in popularity, with over 1.7 million unique visitors on www.chaoticgame.com. Each Chaotic trading card has a unique code which can be uploaded to the Chaotic website enabling fans to replicate their Chaotic cards online. Chaotic players can store and trade their Chaotic trading cards online.
To add another exciting element to the Chaotic gaming experience, TC Digital Games recently launched Chaotic Battledrome Events, a national Organized Play program, at New York ComicCon, with additional events scheduled throughout 2008 at Wizard World Philadelphia, Origins Games Fair, San Diego Comic-Con, Gen Con Indy, Fan Expo Canada and Gen Con Australia.

Complementing the Chaotic Trading Card Game is the Chaotic animated TV series, which airs daily on the Jetix block of Toon Disney and Saturday mornings on the 4Kids TV block on FOX stations nationwide, as well as in TheCW4Kids morning block on The CW Network. Additionally, the Chaotic animated series is a hit in Canada where the show is the network’s #1 ranked program among Boys 2-11 (A.C. Nielsen 9/3/07–1/19/08) on Teletoon. The series follows the adventures of a group of teens that are fans of the Chaotic Trading Card and Online Game. By watching the animated series, viewers can discover battle strategies that will ultimately help them master Chaotic for both online and offline gameplay.

Chaotic has made its international debut as well, with the TV series and cards now available in Australia (where it airs on Network 10), Israel (Children’s Channel/Noga Communications), and South Africa (MNET).

It still amazes me just how fast Chaotic took off. I mean, it's already taken down long time runner Yu-Gi-Oh, and even the monumental-ish Magic: The Gathering.

And yet I've never seen such a popular TCG have such a "disappointing" performance in the ratings--at least compared with Pokemon or Yugi. I am ESPECIALLY shocked at how Monster Allergy beat it, seeing as it's in a pretty early slot.

Joetiful View commented on June 26 2008:
Hey everyone! Just wanted to remind everyone that the naming poll for the new show KikoRiki ends today! Make sure you've voted for your favorite name. I'm really curious to see what everyone thinks will be the final choice!

Light Lucario commented on June 26 2008:
I can’t believe it’s already the last day for voting! I’m really rooting for KikoRiki. It has such a fun ring to it! I hope the final name reflects the light-hearted nature of the show.

D Dubbs commented on June 26 2008:
I’m with you, Lucario! KikoRiki just sounds so catchy and perfect for an animated show. I think it captures the essence of the characters really well! Can't wait to see the final decision!

SonicEclipse commented on June 26 2008:
I'm really interested in the behind-the-scenes of how they're choosing the name. I feel like the name needs to encapsulate the heart of the show, even if GoGoRiki has a fun edge to it, something about KikoRiki feels like it could stand the test of time.

biggdan22 commented on June 26 2008:
I’m just excited to find out what the winner will be! It feels like the anticipation is as much of a ride as the show itself!

Judyindisguise commented on June 26 2008:
Same here! I’m really curious if the name they choose will influence how the show is marketed. I hope they pick a name that really pops and gets kids excited to watch.

4Kids_Bryan commented on June 26 2008:
Just to clarify, the poll closes at midnight tonight, so make sure to get your last-minute votes in! We’ll announce the winner tomorrow morning!

Joetiful View commented on June 27 2008:
Looks like the KikoRiki poll is officially closed! Can't wait to see the results! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for KikoRiki! 🤞

Light Lucario commented on June 27 2008:
Just saw the results! KikoRiki has won! 🎉 I’m so excited! I knew it would be the perfect name for the show!

SonicEclipse commented on June 27 2008:
That's awesome! I was rooting for KikoRiki all along! I can't wait to see how they animate everything under that name. It sounds so lively!

D Dubbs commented on June 27 2008:
Congrats to everyone who voted! I think KikoRiki is a fantastic choice! Now the question is, how will they incorporate the new name in the marketing? I hope they give it a vibrant look that matches the name!

Judyindisguise commented on June 27 2008:
Agreed! I can already picture all the colorful character designs and promo art. This is going to be fun!

4Kids_Bryan commented on June 27 2008:
Thank you all for participating in the naming poll! We’re thrilled to announce that the official title is indeed KikoRiki! Keep an eye out for more updates as we move toward the show’s debut this fall!

Joetiful View commented on June 27 2008:
Yay! This is such great news! I can’t wait to see where they take this show next!

D Dubbs commented on June 27 2008:
Some 4Kids.tv updates:

Sneak peaks from CW4Kids shows are streaming in the Watch section. Also, 4Kids has started to upload previous kidswb.com mini-games to their Play section.
4Kids is hosting the Top 10 Moments in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, like they did with Sonic X and Yu-Gi-Oh! earlier this year. Go here to watch the duels and vote.
And on a side note, I've started watching GX again, and I find the dub music terribly addicting. It's probably the only one of 4Kids soundtracks that I like listening to.

Bratbat commented on June 28 2008:
Apparently this guy thinks after 4KidsTV has left Fox channels across the nation, FoxKids will return.

Just look at the comments.

BTW "4Kids TV Last Stand"? They turned KidsWB into another 4Kids TV

Light Lucario commented on June 28 2008:
I'm kind of surprised that they're having a top ten countdown for GX, but I guess that they want to make an event like this so that more people would watch the episodes on CW4Kids and on their website. That looks like fun. I was hoping for a couple of duels to make the list, but it seems like a decent one. I should watch those episodes for the heck of it and for the voting, even though I'm leading towards the Graduation Match at this point. I also agree with you D Dubbs about the dub music for GX. I often find it really cacthy to listen to as I watch the episodes.

Bratbat commented on July 1 2008:
You know I really feel a need to bring up the people who hate the deal between 4Kids Entertainment's and the CW network.

I mean look at this

8 Ratings pure Five Stars so far!

Oh well it was lukewarm funny at least. But as a persuasive piece, it only appeals to tradition and uses "Once a(n) X, always a(n) X".

D Dubbs commented on July 1 2008:
Yep. It always amazes me how much people can waste their time hating on 4Kids. I mean, I understand why they're disliked, but some people take it too far...and of course, end up looking stupid in the process.

Rolling Cloud commented on July 1 2008:
Besides, there's more calmer ways of doing it then making a 'Youtube poop' video. >.>

Such as writing a letter, making a comparison site, etc.

Light Lucario commented on July 1 2008:
I feel the same way. I can understand why people hate 4Kids, but when they take it to the point where they want the company to die a slow and painful death or make YouTube videos where they throw swear words on them, that's when I think that they're taking it too far and just wasting so much negative energy on that hatred. Not only could people like that use calmer ways to express their dislike towards 4Kids, but they could also try to not be so consumed with negative feelings like that in the first place.

Daxdiv commented on July 1 2008:
Yes those are more constructive and informative. Sure the person doing a comparison could go on a tangent from time to time, but at least it is educating what differences between what 4Kids does to anime. Also there is my favorite series on YT called "The Top Ten Worst Dub Moments From 4Kids' One Piece Dub" an unfinished project, because the video creator is lazy/uninspired for the most part to complete it. It more like a comparison website.

Bratbat commented on July 1 2008:
Comparison videos IMO are supposed to be neutral videos that create a choice between disliking or choosing not to dislike.

But so far the only comparison videos made are those by people who dislike the company, and they sway their viewers by telling them "This change is bad" in text or in voice.

EDIT: Something keep getting repeated something about 4KidsTV killing FoxKids. Now CW4Kids killing KidsWB. Kill is an understatment; they devoured.

Light Lucario commented on July 2 2008:
I've seen a couple of comparison videos before for Yu-Gi-Oh! and I do agree with you comment about how many of those people simply tell their viewers that the change is bad in some way or another. If they handled the change more maturely, such as basically just showing the different versions and letting the viewers decide if they think the change is bad or not, then that would be a fine way to express their dislike of how 4Kids handles some of their shows.

As for the whole 4Kids devouring Kids' WB thing, I would have to disagree. From what I understand from the process of what happened to Kids' WB, Warner Brothers decided to sell the block and 4Kids just bought it. I believe the WB weren't content with the money coming from the block and so they chose to sell it. Or at least something like that. Anyway, it sounds like a business deal to me. I don't see how 4Kids could be blamed for a decision made by another company, but some people will think they're to blame anyway just because they're 4Kids.

SonicEclipse commented on July 2 2008:
Lucario is right. It was FOX/Saban that decided to sell Fox Kids, 4Kids just bought the time. Just like it was the CW that decided to sell Kids'WB!, 4Kids once again just bought the time. Blame FOX and CW, not 4Kids.

It's just people coming up with excuses to hate 4Kids. I've never hated 4Kids, I just think they make a lot of bad descions, but they're slowly learning from their mistakes.

D Dubbs commented on July 2 2008:
It seems 4Kids have added a new series of shorts and added them to 4kids.tv's Video Player

The Sensibles – a series of short, humorous films produced by 12foot6 , The films tell the story of the Sensibles, who work for the GNN Galactic News Network. They are a team observing the lives of the inhabitants of Earth. They observe everyday objects that are obvious to Earthlings.

Characters
Oi – the voice and presenter of space news. His red wig has always caused him problems, especially before going on air.
Bzzz – the chief of reporters. Equipped with an antenna and microphones. Locates the reporters' target.
Zzoom – cameraman. Observes and photographs given objects.
Blerah - has an incredibly large tongue. It licks objects and scans their taste. It is thanks to information from Blerah that Oi guesses what a given object is.
Cosmic Viewers – watch GNN Galactic News and express their fear or admiration.

D Dubbs commented on July 6 2008:
So, um, anyone catch 4Kids TV this weekend? I've got two questions for those who did: a) did they make another 4Kids national anthem and b) what was the 4Kids bonus code for this week?

Light Lucario commented on July 6 2008:
They didn't make another national anthem. They decided to have some of their characters look and gaze at fireworks instead. The 4Kids bonus code was independence.

Joetiful View commented on July 16 2008:
There's a chance that 4kids may not dub season 4 of GX, since I was skimming Pojo's Yugioh forums & saw that Lance posted this little tidbit:

Oh, and one last thing: apparently, someone over on YGOFans emailed 4Kids about a dubbed Season 4 and the reply said, "The Yu-Gi-Oh! series will not end, but GX will. We are starting a new show called Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's in the fall. Hope you like it."

Take it as you will.

SonicEclipse commented on July 16 2008:
I think they mean GX will end after season 4. I don't see them just all of a sudden stopping.

If they did decide not to go onto season 4 than thats just another to add to the list of dumb decisions by 4Kids Entertainment in my book.

biggdan22 commented on July 16 2008:
This is what is currently going on with GX season 4. Originally 4Kids sent out e-mails saying it would air this fall. Recently, the 4Kids Web master has been saying they won't air it, but instead they are going to go straight into 5D's. When 4Kids was asked about it at a convention last week, they said GX and 5D's will air back-to-back this fall with an hour of premiere episodes, and they said the entire series had been dubbed. Also, when I look at this, they stopped the season with episode 155 in England, despite there being one more episode in season 3. The week that episode 156 would air in the US- September 13- is when the new CW4Kids fall schedule is supposed to take effect.

Since there is conflicting information from 4Kids going around, then we really have to wait until then to find out, but I expect both series to air back-to-back as announced at the convention last week this fall, and then when GX ends, which would be in February, well, that's supposedly when Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight and Huntik have been delayed to, so there's a show going off when they are supposed to start. I don't think it's a mere coincidence.

Light Lucario commented on July 16 2008:
I wouldn't think that 4Kids would stop dubbing GX. Not only would that feel pointless considering how they have just moved the series to their CW4Kids block, but it would be a bad move to just stop when they only have another season left to go. D Dubbs also has a good point that 4Kids has dubbed every Yu-Gi-Oh! and GX episodes so it is really hard to believe that they would just stop. I also agree with bigddan11 that they're probably planning to have an hour of back to back premieres for both GX and 5D's. I think that's why they moved GX to the CW so that they could have an hour of two Yu-Gi-Oh! series. That does sound like a good plan actually.

Joie commented on July 20, 2008:
Hey everyone! I was just thinking about Johnny Test and how much fun it was. Do you think there’s any chance it could come back to CW4Kids in the future? Or is that just wishful thinking at this point? 😟

Light Lucario commented on July 20, 2008:
I’d love to see Johnny Test return! It was such a unique show with all the crazy science experiments and adventures. I think it had a decent fanbase, but with all the new shows coming in, I wonder if there’s even a spot for it anymore. 😬

biggdan22 commented on July 21, 2008:
I don’t see it coming back anytime soon. CW4Kids already has a pretty packed lineup, and with shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's launching, it might be hard to squeeze Johnny Test back in. Plus, didn’t it just get dropped so they could make room for newer content? 😕

Joie commented on July 21, 2008:
Yeah, I remember it was taken off the schedule pretty quickly. I guess they wanted to refresh the block with newer shows and maybe they thought Johnny Test was getting stale? But still, I feel like the show had a lot of potential.

D Dubbs commented on July 21, 2008:
It definitely had a lot of potential! Maybe they’re just waiting for the right time to bring it back? Networks often cycle shows around depending on what they think kids want to see. If enough fans express interest, they might reconsider in the future. 🤷‍♂️

Light Lucario commented on July 21, 2008:
That’s true! Sometimes shows get a revival if there’s enough demand from fans. I think if we keep talking about it and showing our love for Johnny Test, it might come back eventually. It’s always worth a shot!

SonicEclipse commented on July 21, 2008:
I think it also depends on how the new shows perform. If some of the newer content doesn’t resonate well with viewers, they might look to bring back fan favorites like Johnny Test. It could come down to ratings and audience feedback! 📊

Joie commented on July 21, 2008:
That makes sense! Ratings play a big role in what gets airtime. I’d be curious to see how Johnny Test would do now compared to when it originally aired. Maybe it just needs a little love from its fanbase to make its way back into the lineup! ❤️

D Dubbs commented on July 22, 2008:
Exactly! So, if you really want to see Johnny Test again, don’t hesitate to voice your support! Online petitions or even social media buzz could help to get the network’s attention. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be able to enjoy the craziness of Johnny and Dukey again someday! 😊

Light Lucario commented on July 22, 2008:
Let’s keep hoping and supporting the shows we love! Whether it’s Johnny Test or any other series, our voices as fans can make a difference. Who knows what the future holds for CW4Kids? 🙏

biggdan22 commented on July 22, 2008:
Hey everyone! Since we’re discussing the potential for shows returning to CW4Kids, I thought I’d also share the lineup of shows that are confirmed to be joining in the fall! Here’s what we can expect:

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - The new chapter in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise featuring new duelists and adventures!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewers - The turtles are back with a new season filled with more action and comedy!
Chaotic: M'arrilian Invasion - The continuation of the popular trading card game series, focusing on the M'arrilian storyline.
Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight - Based on the popular Kamen Rider franchise, bringing in new heroes and epic battles!
KikoRiki - The beloved animated series coming to North America, focusing on friendship and creativity.
Viewtiful Joe - Returning for a new season, bringing back our action movie hero in a new adventure!
That’s quite a lineup! 🎉 It seems like CW4Kids is really focusing on fresh and exciting content for us this fall. Who knows, maybe once they gauge the success of these new shows, they might reconsider bringing back Johnny Test or other past favorites! Let’s keep our fingers crossed! 🙌

biggdan22 commented on July 30, 2008:
Hey everyone, I just heard some pretty surprising news! The Batman is being dropped from CW4Kids starting August 9! 😳 It seems like they’re making major changes to the lineup again.

Light Lucario replied on July 30, 2008:
Wow, that’s unexpected! The Batman had been a staple in the lineup for a while now. I thought it was doing decently in ratings, considering the hype around The Dark Knight movie. Does anyone know what’s replacing it?

Joie chimed in on July 30, 2008:
I wonder if they’re trying to create more space for incoming shows or perhaps some new content that hasn’t been announced yet. It’s such a bummer, though! The Batman had a great storyline and character development. I can’t believe it’s getting the axe! 😢

D Dubbs added on July 30, 2008:
Yeah, it’s hard to believe they're dropping such a popular series. Maybe they want to refresh the block entirely, or perhaps they’re focusing on the new shows coming in. Still, it feels like they’re getting rid of a big part of what made the block appealing!

SonicEclipse commented on July 30, 2008:
This feels a bit risky! The Batman had a strong fanbase, and dropping it could alienate some viewers. I hope they have something solid lined up to take its place! Otherwise, it might raise some eyebrows among fans.

biggdan22 replied on July 30, 2008:
I’ve heard rumors that they might be bringing in more episodes of Chaotic to fill the slot, but that’s not confirmed. Either way, I just hope they’re not making a huge mistake by dropping The Batman. It had so much potential for more storylines!

The only surprising change to me is a doubling up of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. I'm guessing one of those timeslots will turn to 5D's in September. I'm pretty glad that we'll be getting double new episodes for GX, though, since I'm ready for this season to reach its end now.
A shame that The Batman won't air all of its season five episodes...looks like I'll have to pick up that DVD now.

I take it as a good sign that The Spectacular Spider-Man stays on the schedule. And I actually prefer that they only air one episode of that a week. No need to get burnt out over the same 13 episodes when the next season is still 8 months away.

D Dubbs commented on August 10, 2008:
Hey everyone! You won't believe the news that just broke at the 4Kids press conference today. They officially announced that Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is coming to an end after its current season! 😮

Light Lucario commented on August 10, 2008:
Wait, seriously?! I thought GX was performing well enough to warrant another season! What gives? I mean, with how much they’ve been airing it, I figured it was one of their top properties!

Joie commented on August 10, 2008:
Yeah, I'm shocked too! GX had a pretty strong fanbase and was carrying the legacy of the original series. Do they have any plans about what’s coming next after GX ends?

SonicEclipse commented on August 10, 2008:
From what I heard, they’re going to focus on the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's as the new flagship for the franchise. Sounds like they’re trying to revamp and freshen up the lineup. Still, it’s jarring to think of GX ending, especially after all the investment in the character arcs and new duel mechanics.

biggdan22 commented on August 10, 2008:
It's definitely a bummer. GX had some fantastic storytelling, and I enjoyed how it evolved the card game. I wonder how fans will react to 5D's—will they embrace it as they did with GX?

D Dubbs commented on August 10, 2008:
That’s a good question. While I’m looking forward to 5D’s, I do hope they’ve learned from previous mistakes. Leaving a fan-favorite like GX behind could frustrate a lot of viewers. I just hope they give 5D's the proper promotion it deserves!

Joie commented on August 10, 2008:
I hope they at least finish airing all the remaining GX episodes. It’d be a shame to end it without proper closure for the characters we’ve followed for so long.

SonicEclipse commented on August 10, 2008:
Exactly! The finale needs to wrap up the storylines meaningfully. Plus, I’d hate for those who have been invested in the series to feel like they got left hanging. 4Kids really needs to address that during the transition to 5D’s.

Light Lucario commented on August 10, 2008:
I see the potential in 5D's, but it’s just disappointing to see GX get cut short. It’s funny how quickly things can change in networks though and how a fanbase can shift. Maybe we need a movement to express just how much GX meant to us. 🙌

Judging by the buzz in the forums, it’s clear that while many are looking forward to new content, the end of GX leaves a bittersweet feeling among the fans. Let’s hope for a smooth transition and a solid farewell for our beloved duelists!

You know, it’s interesting to think about how 4Kids now has total control of the CW4Kids block. With their takeover, it feels like they've really stamped their mark on the lineup. The one thing that stands out to me is that, amidst all the changes, there’s only one Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) produced show still standing—Tom & Jerry Tales.

It’s kind of surprising considering how many WBA productions were in the lineup before the transition. Do you think this will be the last season for Tom & Jerry now that 4Kids is calling the shots? Or might they keep it around as a nostalgic anchor for viewers?

It’s fascinating how quickly things can change in the world of kids’ programming! I wonder what this means for potential future collaborations or if they might even phase out the remaining WBA shows entirely. Will they start focusing solely on 4Kids originals and acquisitions instead? 🤔

Biggdan22 commented on August 23, 2008:
Hey everyone! Did you catch the latest promo airing on CW4Kids? It’s like they’re really ramping up the excitement for the new season! 🙌

Joie commented on August 23, 2008:
I saw it! They kept repeating phrases like “brand new series,” “fresh new faces,” and “awesome new lineup.” I’m seriously hyped! It really feels like they’re making a massive effort to kick things off in style. ✨

Light Lucario commented on August 23, 2008:
Yeah, and how about the “all new heroes” and “all new adventures”? That gives off such a thrilling vibe! It sounds like they’re setting the stage for some major character developments and plot twists. It’s going to be a whole new experience! 🌟

D Dubbs commented on August 23, 2008:
Absolutely! The way they wrapped it up with “sign on 9.13.08” just seals the deal. They’re definitely making a big statement about the upcoming changes. It's like they're saying, "Get ready for something amazing!"

SonicEclipse commented on August 23, 2008:
I think this kind of promotion is exactly what CW4Kids needs. They want to bring in viewers who may have been on the fence or who have tuned out during the transition. Fresh content usually reignites interest, and I’m here for it! 🔥

Biggdan22 commented on August 23, 2008:
Exactly! The promo is perfectly timed. If they keep this momentum leading up to the launch, they could secure a solid turnout for the premieres! I’m already marking my calendar — September 13 is going to be all about new adventures!

Joie commented on August 23, 2008:
And speaking of adventures, I hope they feature some epic crossover events or character connections between the shows. That would not only excite longtime fans but also draw in new viewers as they see their favorites interact!

Light Lucario commented on August 23, 2008:
Ooh, that would be awesome! A shared universe can make everything even more thrilling. Plus, it'd keep viewers engaged, especially with all the “new heroes” being introduced. Imagine the kinds of team-ups we could see!

SonicEclipse commented on August 23, 2008:
And let’s not forget about those promotional clips. They’ve been showing some intense action sequences that look like they’ll capture the attention of kids (and adults)! I’m not just excited—I’m ALL in! 🎥💥

D Dubbs commented on August 23, 2008:
With all the effort they’re putting into these promos, I genuinely think they’ll find the right audience, especially since the lineup feels so dynamic. I just hope that they stick to their promise of an "all new beginning." It’s an exciting time to be a part of the CW4Kids community!

Biggdan22 commented on August 23, 2008:
Let’s keep our fingers crossed! The potential is limitless, and we have no idea what kind of surprises they’re holding back. Just a few weeks left before we can dive into these new adventures! Here’s to the future of CW4Kids! Let’s make some noise! 🎉

Biggdan22 commented on August 23, 2008:
Hey everyone! After watching the promo again, I couldn’t help but notice all the shows they showcased. Let’s take a closer look at what we can expect this fall on CW4Kids! 😄

Light Lucario replied:
Great idea! I made a list of all the shows that were highlighted in the promo:

Will & Dewitt - The heartwarming tale about a boy and his talking frog guiding him through life’s little adventures.
Magi-Nation - The magical series where Tony Jones dives into a fantastical world filled with adventure and challenges.
Monster Allergy - Following Zick and his unique ability to see monsters, this show blends humor with a touch of the supernatural!
Spider Riders - Hunter Steele and his friends battling combined with epic spider action? Count me in!
Tom & Jerry Tales - The classic cat-and-mouse hijinks are back, and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s not Saturday without them!
Blobbit Adventures - The charming adventures of Blobbit continue as she explores creativity and friendship in her magical forest.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewers - The fan-favorite turtles are back with new escapades in the sewers—always a blast!
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - The highly anticipated new chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise brings new duelists and strategies.
The Spectacular Spider-Man - Following the journey of a young Peter Parker, this series promises exciting action and character depth!
Dinosaur King - The D-Team is back to hunt down lost dinosaurs, and I can’t wait to see their adventures in action!
Chaotic - Continuing the journey through Perim, the battle for codes and strategy returns with even more excitement!
Viva Pinata - The adventures of the pinatas on Pinata Island will surely be a treat.
Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl - The adventures in Sinnoh are sure to impress.
KikoRiki - Finally, the whimsical world of KikoRiki is set to enchant audiences with fun and friendship!
Joie chimed in:
Wow, that’s quite a lineup! I’m really thrilled to see KikoRiki finally getting its debut in North America! It looks like it’ll be a perfect complement to the other shows.☺️

D Dubbs commented on August 23, 2008:
And I think having something like Monster Allergy and Blobbit Adventures side by side will really appeal to kids looking for comedy and creativity. It shows they’re trying to bring balance to action, humor, and heartwarming content!

SonicEclipse commented on August 24, 2008:
Absolutely! I love how varied the shows are. They’ve got action, comedy, adventure, and fantasy all lined up. It feels like there’s something for everyone. This could really pull in families as well.

Biggdan22 commented on August 24, 2008:
And let's not forget how nostalgic this lineup feels. With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Tom & Jerry, they’re catering to both new viewers and those who grew up watching these classics. It’s a smart move!

Light Lucario commented on August 24, 2008:
This promo really got me pumped for the new season! With an awesome slate of “all new heroes” and “all new adventures,” I think CW4Kids is set to make a big splash. I can’t wait for September 13! Let’s keep the discussion going as we count down the days! 🎈

New show: Rollbots: Spin, Captain Pounder, and the other members of the Flip City Police work together to fight evil Vertex and his henchbots. As Vertex attempts to shut down the Hub so he can take control of Flip City, members of the FCPD are there to confound his every move.

Storm Hawks: Storm Hawks is set on a fictional world called Atmos, a largely mountainous world consisting of scattered, towering, plateau-like land masses known as terras. Directly below the terras lie the Wastelands, the most dangerous area of Atmos, with infernal fires and wicked creatures. Because of the geography, travel is mostly dependent on flight. The technology of Atmos is based around energy-generating crystals, used to power the various devices in the series. Patrolling the skies of Atmos are the Squadrons, groups of warriors who pilot motorcycle-like vehicles called Skimmers that can semi-transform into flying machines. Each Squadron is led by a Sky Knight and these warriors are loosely managed by the Sky Knight Council.

In the backstory of the series, an evil ruler named Master Cyclonis and her servants, the Cyclonians, threatened Atmos. The original Storm Hawks rallied the other Squadrons against this enemy, but were betrayed and defeated by one of their own (later known as The Dark Ace). Ten years later, the main characters of the series stumble upon the wreckage of the Storm Hawks' carrier, the Condor, and unofficially take on the Storm Hawks name in the hopes of becoming Sky Knights themselves, despite not being old enough to even legally fly the vehicle.[1] Their youth defeats their ambition, however, as neither friend nor foe take them seriously because of it.

This changes when they are brought into conflict with a new Master Cyclonis, granddaughter of the previous one. Among her followers are the Dark Ace, the man who betrayed the original Storm Hawks and now serves Cyclonis as her right-hand man; Snipe, a mace-wielding strong man with a fondness for smashing things; and Snipe's sister, Ravess, an archer who always brings violin-playing henchmen into battle for theme music.

Forum Title: The End of an Era for TMNT on CW4Kids?

Light Lucario commented on November 15, 2009:
Guys, I just heard some news that might change everything for CW4Kids. Apparently, Nickelodeon has bought the rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise! 😲 What does this mean for our beloved TMNT show on CW4Kids?

Joie replied:
Wait, are you serious?! That’s huge! 😱 I knew Nick had been doing a lot with their IPs, but I didn’t expect them to scoop up TMNT. So does this mean 4Kids is losing the rights?

biggdan22 chimed in:
Yeah, unfortunately, it looks like 4Kids will lose TMNT around August 2010. 😔 It’s a bummer because the show has been a staple for us on CW4Kids. I really hope they give it a proper send-off, especially since we’ve been with these turtles for so long!

SonicEclipse commented:
That’s so disappointing! TMNT has such a strong fanbase, and it feels like they’re ending a beloved chapter. I hope Nickelodeon plans to do a good job with whatever new series they’re creating. I can’t imagine Saturday mornings without the turtles!

D Dubbs replied:
I know right? The current TMNT series has had its ups and downs, but there’s something nostalgic and classic about seeing them headlining on this block. I really hope 4Kids has something to fill the gap they’ll leave behind.

Joetiful View added:
Do you think they’ll air reruns of TMNT after August, or will they just cut it completely? I mean, I wouldn't want to see it go like that!

Light Lucario replied:
I guess it depends on how Nickelodeon plans to roll out their new series! Maybe they’ll decide to air some of the older episodes as a farewell, but I feel like the focus will be on their new content once the transition happens.

biggdan22 commented:
Yeah, and with the CW4Kids lineup always going through changes, it’s hard to predict what they might choose to do. I just hope they replace TMNT with something that can capture the audience’s attention in the same way.

SonicEclipse remarked:
I wonder if this move will create opportunities for other franchises to fill the slot. I mean, CW4Kids has always had a mix of action-comedy shows; maybe we could finally see some exciting new properties!

D Dubbs added:
That’s true! If 4Kids can secure some fresh content, it might ease the transition a bit. Still, it’s going to be a tough adjustment for fans of the turtles. This is a big deal, and I hope whatever comes next can live up to it!

Joie concluded:
Well, we’ll just have to keep an eye on the news as it unfolds! Let’s celebrate the turtles while we still have them on CW4Kids. 🐢❤️ Here’s to hoping for a great send-off and whatever new adventures await next!

Light Lucario replied:
Absolutely! Cheers to TMNT! Let’s see what the future holds, and of course, we’ll keep this conversation going for any updates. 🎉

Forum Title: The End of an Era for TMNT on CW4Kids?

Joie commented on November 19 2009:
I can’t believe it’s happening! The loss of TMNT is going to be a huge hit for CW4Kids. But on top of that, it seems like Chaotic is also winding down now, right? 😕

Light Lucario replied:
Yeah, exactly! With Chaotic essentially dying out, it definitely gives 4Kids more leverage to focus on what they really want to push moving forward. Maybe they’ll concentrate more on new franchises or properties they have their eyes on.

biggdan22 chimed in:
That’s a solid point! Losing both TMNT and Chaotic could actually free up some resources and airtime for them to invest in shows that they think will be more successful. It’s like they’re clearing the deck for something new and fresh! 🌟

SonicEclipse commented:
Right? This could be an opportunity for 4Kids to promote their newer content, like Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, and any upcoming series they have planned. They might seize the chance to rebrand and redefine the CW4Kids lineup as they shift focus.

D Dubbs added:
Plus, with all the talk around their projects that are in development, like possible adaptations or original concepts, it seems like they’re gearing up for something big. Maybe this shift in the lineup would mean they’ll invest more heavily in their upcoming ventures.

Joetiful View agreed:
Exactly! If they can nail the upcoming content and create buzz around new shows, they could really revitalize the block and draw in even more viewers. It’s all about finding the right mix going forward!

Light Lucario wrapped up:
So while it’s tough to see TMNT and Chaotic go, it might just lead to some exciting new developments for 4Kids and CW4Kids. Here’s hoping they make smart moves that resonate with the audience! Let’s keep the talk going as we see how they adapt to these changes! 🎉

Write a reply where the 4Kids CEO says what 3 franchises the company will become dependent on

CEO of 4Kids Entertainment commented:

Hello everyone,

I’d like to take a moment to address the concerns expressed in the forum about the upcoming changes within our programming lineup as we transition towards a new focus. As quite a few of you have noted, the end of our relationship with long-standing franchises like TMNT and Chaotic gives us an opportunity to pivot and strengthen our brand.

Looking ahead, we will be placing our emphasis on three key franchises that we believe will become the cornerstone of our programming strategy:

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: As the next chapter in the beloved Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, we are very excited about the opportunities it presents. The game mechanics and character development have been well-received thus far, and we anticipate that it will continue attracting both new viewers and loyal fans from the previous series.
Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Pokémon remains one of the most enduring and beloved franchises in children's entertainment. With its vast universe and continuous fan engagement, we are committed to making this series a staple in our lineup, along with any future iterations, to ensure we maintain our audience’s strong connection to this IP.
KikoRiki: We see tremendous potential in bringing this vibrant and playful series to a wider audience. Its themes of friendship and creativity resonate with children and parents alike, and we believe it can foster a substantial following as we introduce it in North America.
These franchises represent not just our current offerings but also the strategic direction we are taking going forward. We're committed to investing in their growth and finding ways to keep them fresh and exciting. We're aware of the rapidly changing landscape of children's programming, and as such, we are enthusiastic about exploring collaborative opportunities and potential new projects that align with our vision.

Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm. We appreciate your feedback as we move forward!

Best,
[CEO Name]
CEO, 4Kids Entertainment

I can’t agree more! It’s an exciting time for Toonzai! With all these fresh and beloved series coming in, I think we can expect some memorable Saturdays ahead! 🌈

D Dubbs concluded:
Let’s keep an eye out for more updates as we lead into the official launch of Toonzai this fall! Here’s to new adventures and more epic moments to come! 🎉

Joie replied:

Wow, it’s so exciting to see how Toonzai is shaping up! But I can't help but notice that with all these new shows being added, it looks like there will only be ONE show that isn't anime by the fall! It's going to be quite the transformation from CW4Kids.

With KikoRiki being the sole non-anime series, I hope they provide strong marketing and promotion for it to attract viewers since it’s competing directly against some powerhouse titles in the anime world. I wonder how they'll balance the lineup with primarily anime content. I'm curious to see how audiences will react to this shift! What do you all think?

Joie commented on August 21, 2010:
Did you all catch the promo for "Turtles Forever"? 🐢 It was so emotional! They really hit hard with the slow music and that poignant emphasis on "sayonara." I can’t believe we’re actually saying goodbye to the TMNT franchise for good on CW4Kids!

Light Lucario replied:
I know, right? That promo was so bittersweet, and it really hammered home the finality of it all. I never thought I'd feel this way about a cartoon! TMNT has been a staple of our Saturday mornings forever. 😢

Biggdan22 chimed in:
Seeing that promo made it feel so real. I can’t believe 4Kids has removed the TMNT page from the site too. It’s like they’re really closing the book on this chapter. What are we going to do without the turtles in our lives?

SonicEclipse commented:
Honestly, the slow piano music got to me. I didn't think a promo could make me feel so nostalgic. TMNT has been a huge part of my childhood, and the thought of no more turtle adventures on CW4Kids hits hard. Sayonara indeed!

D Dubbs added:
I completely agree! The way they framed it in the promo, it almost felt like a eulogy rather than a teaser for an episode. It really emphasized the impact TMNT has had on so many fans over the years.

Joie replied:
Exactly. And with the page removed from 4Kids.tv, it definitely feels like they’re moving on to a new era. I understand it’s business, but it’s still tough to see a beloved franchise go. I hope they at least give these characters a proper send-off with "Turtles Forever."

Light Lucario mentioned:
I just hope they do the turtles justice in the finale. They've had such a rich legacy, and it would be heartbreaking if they didn't give it the attention it deserves. There are so many fans out there who want to celebrate what the turtles have meant to us!

Biggdan22 concluded:
Same here! Whatever happens, let’s make sure to keep the discussions alive. Maybe we can start a remembrance thread for TMNT or share our favorite moments from the series. Their legacy deserves to be celebrated, even if it’s the last bow. Here’s to the turtles! 🐢💚

New show: Ta Chi Chasers:

Tai Chi Chasers is set in a fantasy world that is influenced by East Asian mythology. Within this fantasy world, two ethnic groups, the protagonist Tigeroids (Korean: 호족) and the antagonist Dragonoids (Korean: 용족) are engaged in a long-running armed conflict over Tai Chi cards, a set of 500 magical artefacts that both groups seek for their own purposes.

The plot revolves around the main character Rai, a child who discovers that he is descended from the Tigeroids after his community is attacked. He therefore possesses various magical abilities that all Tigeroids possess. Rai becomes a combatant in the Tigeroid armed forces, and enhances his magical abilities. He also becomes a member of an elite group of combatants, known as the Tai Chi Chasers.

Tai Chi Chasers utilizes Korean hanja to represent the various magical abilities and artefacts present throughout the series. In the English language version, distributed by 4Kids Entertainment, the hanja characters are referred to both by their Korean pronunciations and their English language translations.

Forum Title: CW4Kids Toonzai Lineup - What Are Your Thoughts?

Joie: I'm seriously excited about the new Toonzai lineup, but I can’t help but notice something: it feels like it’s going to be heavily action-oriented. 🤔

Light Lucario: You're right, Joie! The lineup is pretty packed with action shows. Aside from KikoRiki, it seems most of the programming leans towards adventure and fighting. If someone is looking for something other than action, they might be disappointed!

Biggdan22: I completely agree. It's almost like if you want non-action content, you’re essentially out of luck with this schedule. KikoRiki is cute and all, but it’s the only show that isn’t focused on action or battles!

SonicEclipse: Exactly! While I love that they’re bringing in big titles like Dragon Ball Z Kai and Naruto: Shippuden, I do wish they had a more balanced mix. KikoRiki is fun, but it can't carry the entire non-action category by itself.

Joie: I wonder if they realize this? There are lots of kids who enjoy slicing and dicing, but not everyone. I feel like they could benefit from adding more variety—maybe some slice-of-life shows or comedies to mix things up a bit.

D Dubbs: That would definitely help! Comedy and slice-of-life shows can appeal to different audiences. They create a nice balance for viewers who might not be into the “action” genre.

Light Lucario: I wonder how much the network considers viewer feedback on this type of thing. If enough fans voice their desire for more diverse programming, it might encourage them to explore new options.

SonicEclipse: And who knows? If KikoRiki proves to be a hit, they might consider introducing more lighthearted or comedic shows in future lineups. Keeping things fresh could be key to keeping a broad audience engaged.

Biggdan22: True! But for now, if you’re looking for a break from the nonstop action, it seems you’ll just have to enjoy KikoRiki and hope it resonates well with viewers!

Joie: Exactly! Here’s hoping that Toonzai listens to audience feedback and maybe surprises us down the line with more varied content! 🤞

D Dubbs: Fingers crossed! We all want to see our beloved genres represented. Let's keep spreading the word about wanting more diversity in the lineup!

Forum Title: Has Anyone Noticed the Toonzai Name Fading Away?

Joie commented on March 10, 2012:
Hey everyone! Has anyone else noticed that the Toonzai branding seems to be slowly disappearing? I mean, I just watched the latest lineup, and it feels like we’re reverting back to the CW4Kids name gradually. What do you all think? 🤔

Light Lucario replied:
I’ve noticed that too, Joie! Every time I’m tuning in, I feel like there’s less emphasis on the Toonzai name. The show intros and bumpers are looking less branded. It seems like they might be moving away from it completely!

Biggdan22 chimed in:
Right? It's kind of surprising! I wonder if they're stepping back from the rebranding already due to viewer feedback or changes in strategy. It felt like the Toonzai brand was supposed to establish something fresh, but now it just feels...half-hearted?

SonicEclipse commented:
Totally! I thought they were going to really push Toonzai and enhance that brand identity. If they’re moving away so quickly, it could be a sign that they’re reconsidering how they want to position themselves in the market. It’s a bit concerning, honestly.

D Dubbs added:
Yeah, and I hope they’re not losing the unique essence they had with Toonzai! I feel like it had potential to stand out with its mix of anime and children’s programming. If we’re just recycling the CW4Kids name, we might lose a chance for a fresh start.

Joie replied:
I agree! With all the great shows they had under Toonzai, I hoped they’d capitalize on that momentum. I wonder how they'll manage this transition if they shift back to CW4Kids.

Light Lucario noted:
Perhaps they’re testing to see how audiences react to a return to the CW4Kids brand. It could also be that they’re looking to create a new identity altogether. If that's the case, I just hope it doesn't hurt the programming lineup or confuse fans.

Biggdan22 commented:
It might just be an experiment on their part. If they feel the audience isn’t engaging with the Toonzai label, reverting back could be their way to reconnect with fans. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle the marketing in the upcoming weeks.

SonicEclipse concluded:
Let’s keep an eye on this! Whatever direction they take, we definitely want to keep up with how it affects our favorite shows. Here’s to hoping for clarity in the branding soon!
