Note: This is my fanmade show Title: The Inky Adventures

Panel 1:
Scene: A vibrant, colorful meadow with vivid flowers, lush green grass, and a bright blue sky. In the corner, a small patch of black ink blobs congregates.

Narration: In a world bursting with color, there lived the Inky Squad — a quirky troop of playful black ink blobs.

Panel 2:
Scene: A close-up of the blobs. There’s Dot, the curious explorer with tiny spectacles; Blot, the carefree blob constantly bouncing; Smudge, the artist with a little beret; and Splotch, the gentle giant of the group.

Dot: "Look at that flower, full of mystery and allure!"

Blot: "Let’s bounce over there and say hello!"

Panel 3:
Scene: The blobs approach a brilliantly red flower. Smudge begins to draw on the ground with a stick dipped in ink.

Smudge: "And here, I shall create... Ink’s Impression of a Rose!"

Splotch: gently "Remember, Smudge, it’s all about capturing the feeling, not the form."

Panel 4:
Scene: Suddenly, a gust of wind blows through the meadow, scattering the blobs in different directions.

Narration: But the wind has different plans for the Inky Squad!

Dot (in mid-air): "Adventure awaits, partners!"

Panel 5:
Scene: The blobs land in a small pond, causing tiny ripples. They gather again, excitedly mingling with the reflections of colorful lilies and dragonflies.

Blot: "A splashy new world, who knows what thrills are afloat!"

Smudge: "Perhaps our art can blend with nature's palette here."

Panel 6:
Scene: The sun sets, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The blobs, now tired and content, form a cozy cluster by the pond's edge.

Splotch: "No matter where the wind takes us, every spot feels like home when we're together."

Panel 7 (Final Panel):
Scene: The blobs rest, casting playful, ink-like shadows on the pond as the stars begin to twinkle above.

Narration: In the colorful world, the Inky Squad reminds us that the most beautiful canvases are ones shared with friends.

End.

Write about their appearances

Certainly! Here's a detailed description of the Inky Squad's appearances:

Dot: Dot is the smallest and most curious member of the group. She has a perfectly round shape and is adorned with tiny, stylish spectacles, giving her a scholarly appearance. Her surface shimmers slightly, hinting at her inquisitive nature as she rolls around, inspecting everything with wide-eyed curiosity.
Blot: Blot is a carefree spirit with a slightly irregular, bouncy form, often mid-air due to his love for hopping around. His edges are a bit uneven, and he leaves little splatters wherever he lands, making every encounter a dynamic surprise. His joyful disposition is evident in his constant state of motion.
Smudge: Smudge takes on a more elongated and artistic form resembling a teardrop. He's often seen with a tiny, inky beret perched on top, reflecting his artistic soul. Smudge's surface is slightly thinner on one side, giving him a natural ‘swoosh’ that he uses to sketch and paint, blending his ink seamlessly with the environment.
Splotch: Splotch, the gentle giant, is the largest of them all with a broad, puddle-like shape that looks as if he could envelop all the other blobs with a caring hug. His edges are soft and rounded, providing a comforting presence. Despite his size, his movements are graceful and slow, embodying his calm, thoughtful personality.
Each blob has a distinct texture: Dot is smooth and polished, catching glints of light; Blot is springy, often changing shape with each bounce; Smudge has a fluid, painterly texture that trails off artfully when he moves; and Splotch is thick and glossy, reflecting the world around him like a gentle mirror. Together, they form a captivating contrast to the vibrant colors of their world, standing out with their rich, deep blackness.

Write about their shared abilities

The Inky Squad, despite their individual personalities, possesses a set of shared abilities that make them both unique and harmonious within their colorful world:

Ink Fusion: When the blobs come together, they can merge to form a larger, more powerful entity. This fusion allows them to reach places they couldn’t individually and explore the world from a higher vantage point. They can separate at will, making their form flexible and dynamic.
Color Absorption: Though they are devoid of color themselves, the ink blobs have the magical ability to temporarily absorb colors from their surroundings. This allows them to camouflage or create vivid patterns on their surfaces, reflecting a rainbow of hues before reverting to their original black.
Ink Trail: As they move, the blobs leave behind an inky trail that is not just a random mark but a form of communication. These trails can tell stories, map paths, or even form temporary works of art that other creatures in the meadow enjoy exploring and interpreting.
Morphing Shapes: The blobs can change their shapes at will, stretching into lines, circling up as dots, or expanding into splatters. This ability helps them interact with their environment in creative ways, from slipping through tiny cracks to forming puzzle-like shapes, solving mysteries of their surroundings.
Reflective Memory: The blobs can soak up experiences from their environment and then recreate them in their ink. This is particularly useful for storytelling at the end of the day, as they project scenes of their adventures onto the ground or water surfaces.
Synchrony: One of their most enchanting abilities is their power to synchronize their movements and sounds. When they gather, they can create beautiful, harmonious tunes and dances, which mesmerize the creatures around them and bring a sense of joy and unity to their world.
These shared abilities not only enhance their adventures but also highlight their unity and adaptability in their otherwise colorful world.

Forum Thread: Why Was "The Inky Adventures" Cancelled?

Thread Starter: BlobFan1990
Hey everyone, I've been rewatching some old episodes of "The Inky Adventures," and I can't help but wonder why the show got cancelled. It was such a creative concept with amazing characters! Does anyone know what happened?

Reply #1: ToonLover77
I loved that show too! From what I've heard, around the time "The Inky Adventures" aired, Fox Kids was transitioning into Jetix. The rebranding brought a ton of new shows, and they were trying to target a slightly different audience. I guess "Inky Adventures" didn't fit the new lineup they were going for.

Reply #2: RetroCartoonBuff
Yeah, Jetix was really exploding with new content around that time, and they were focusing more on action-oriented shows. "The Inky Adventures," with its whimsical, artistic style, might not have matched with their new programming strategy. It's a shame because it was so unique!

Reply #3: AnimationHistorian
It's true! Fox Kids was rebranded to Jetix as part of a strategic shift. They introduced a heap of new shows to attract a broader, more global audience. Unfortunately, this meant that some of the unique and niche shows from the Fox Kids era, like "The Inky Adventures," were moved aside to make room for newer, more action-packed content.

Reply #4: InkyArtFan
That's really unfortunate, but understandable. I still think the show had so much potential. I loved the art style and the way the characters interacted with their colorful world. It had a charm that's hard to find in more recent shows.

Reply #5: SaturdayMorningNostalgia
Such a pity! I wonder if it would have done better if it had been aired a bit earlier or on a different network. The storytelling and creativity were really refreshing, especially during that era.

I read somewhere that a lot of fans have been keeping the spirit of the show alive through online forums and fan art. It's amazing how dedicated the fan base still is, even after so many years!

Thread Starter: BlobFan1990
Hey everyone, thanks for all the info on why "The Inky Adventures" was canceled. I'm curious now—did it ever air in Canada or the United States? I remember seeing it on Fox Kids Europe, but I'm not sure about its broadcast history in North America.

Reply #1: ToonLover77
Great question! I don't recall it being aired on any major networks in the US. It might not have had a widespread release like it did in Europe. Sometimes shows have limited broadcasts or are syndicated differently in North America.

Reply #2: RetroCartoonBuff
I'm Canadian, and I vaguely remember catching a few episodes on a local station, but I'm not sure if it was part of a national broadcast or just a regional thing. It might have been aired on a smaller network up here that picked up international shows.

Reply #3: AnimationHistorian
From what I know, "The Inky Adventures" didn’t have a major network deal in the States. It’s possible that it aired on niche or regional channels in Canada or was available through special programming blocks that featured international content.

Reply #4: NorthStarTVFan
I did a bit of digging, and it seems like the series may have been part of some smaller syndicated children’s programming blocks in Canada. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to have the marketing push that typically helps shows break into larger markets like the US.

Reply #5: InkyArtFan
It’s a shame it didn’t get more exposure in North America. With more marketing, it might have reached a wider audience. Sometimes terrific shows just don’t get the distribution they deserve.

Reply #6: UNSyndication
Yeah, it's one of those hidden treasures! Sometimes, shows need a bit of luck to get picked up by major networks outside their original region. Maybe it aired on a digital or cable channel without much fanfare? Anyone else have more concrete info?

Thanks for the responses! It sounds like "The Inky Adventures" might have flown under the radar in North America. I guess being a fan means keeping an eye out for those rare gems too! If anyone finds more detailed info, please share.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the info on "The Inky Adventures." I did a bit more research and found out that after working on "The Inky Adventures," SIP Animation and CinéGroupe went on to produce two other shows. One was about a mischievous prankster, and the other centered around a hippie/vegan family. Does anyone have more details on these shows?

Reply #1: ToonLover77
Oh, that sounds interesting! I hadn't heard about those. Do you know the titles or have any details about the plot or characters?

Reply #2: RetroCartoonBuff
I think I remember one of those shows. The prankster cartoon might be "Pranky Pete" or something with a similar name. It focused on a kid who was always getting into trouble with his clever tricks.

Reply #3: AnimationHistorian
Yes! The prankster series you’re referring to is indeed a comedic slice-of-life show with lots of slapstick humor. As for the hippie/vegan family show, I believe it was called something like "Green Harmony" or "The Hippie House," focusing on a family living an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Reply #4: EcoCartoonsFan
I watched "The Hippie House." It was really ahead of its time with its focus on sustainability and eco-conscious living. It had a charming, positive message about maintaining balance with nature and the quirks of living in a modern society with old-school values.

Reply #5: MischiefMaker79
"Pranky Pete" was such a fun watch! Each episode had Pete coming up with new, often outrageous pranks, while subtly weaving in lessons about respecting others and understanding repercussions. It had lots of clever gags that even adults could enjoy.

Reply #6: TVEnthusiast
Both shows seem to have had unique concepts. It’s interesting how SIP and CinéGroupe explored different themes and genres after "The Inky Adventures." Makes me wish they were more readily available for viewing now!

Hey folks, I had some great insights into those follow-up shows by SIP and CinéGroupe, but turns out I got the titles mixed up! The mischievous prankster show is actually "What's With Andy?" and the family-focused one is "The Tofus." Does anyone have more details or memories of these shows?

Reply #1: ToonLover77
Ah, "What's With Andy?" That show was hilarious! It followed Andy Larkin, the self-proclaimed "world's greatest prankster," as he concocted elaborate practical jokes in his small town. Definitely had a lot of fun, zany episodes with unexpected twists.

Reply #2: RetroCartoonBuff
I remember both! "What's With Andy?" had some of the most creative pranks on TV, always pushing the limits of what Andy could get away with. "The Tofus," on the other hand, was about a modern hippie family coexisting with tech-savvy neighbors, touching on themes of environmentalism and family values.

Reply #3: AnimationHistorian
Yes, "What's With Andy?" was adapted from a book series and had a great mix of comedy and character development. Meanwhile, "The Tofus" was notable for its environmental messages, featuring a vegan family living sustainably, often with humorous outcomes when modern life clashed with their lifestyle.

Reply #4: EcoCartoonsFan
"The Tofus" was a great watch for anyone interested in environmental topics! The interaction between the Tofu family and their neighbors often led to funny yet insightful situations, shedding light on both the simple and the complex aspects of eco-conscious living.

Reply #5: MischiefMaker79
Andy Larkin was such an iconic character! Each episode was an adventure in chaos, but it was also cool to see how he dealt with the consequences. It made the humor all the more relatable.

Reply #6: TVEnthusiast
Both shows really showcased SIP and CinéGroupe's range in storytelling—from outrageous pranks to thoughtful family dynamics. They definitely left a mark during their time. Loved reliving these memories!

Thread Starter: ForgetfulFan2023
Hey guys, I'm having a hard time remembering which episode had these scenes. I remember Dot looking into a hole and Blot saying, "Hurry up, I'm not looking at your butt all day." Also, there was a part where Dot breaks her glasses and another scene where Smudge accidentally ruins his art. Does anyone know which episode these are from?

Reply #1: NostalgiaKid2000
Oh, I think I remember those scenes! They sound like they could be from the same episode, where everything seems to go wrong for the Inky Squad. But I can't pinpoint the episode number right now.

Reply #2: ToonTimeLover
Those are some classic moments! I think it might be from the episode where they explore a mysterious area of the meadow. The glasses breaking and the art accident definitely add to the chaos!

Reply #3: InkBlobFan
I remember the scene with Dot's glasses breaking being pretty pivotal for her character, as she had to adapt without them temporarily. As for Smudge's art disaster, it might be when they had to face unexpected challenges together.

Hey everyone, I finally figured it out! All those scenes are from the same episode. The first scene with Dot looking into the hole was when she was trying to find a toy she dropped. The whole episode is about overcoming little mishaps and working together. It’s definitely one of those episodes where everything seems to go wrong, but the squad’s friendship saves the day. Thanks for all your help and suggestions! If you haven't seen it in a while, it's definitely worth a rewatch.

Hey everyone! Does anyone else remember that moment in "The Inky Adventures" where Dot has this weird existential thought, like, "I've had this weird feeling, we're all someone else's creation, and we're all being watched," and she points at the camera? Then Blot responds with something about who'd want to watch them since they're just blobs of goo. It's such a funny and unique scene!

Reply #1: ToonTimeLover
Oh, I totally remember that! It was such a great fourth wall break. Dot's always the thinker, questioning the world around her, even if it means acknowledging the audience. Blot's response was perfect comic relief!

Reply #2: InkBlobFan
Yeah, that scene stood out to me too! It was so unexpected and clever, and it made me laugh how Blot just casually pointed out their "gooey" nature. It's one of the reasons I loved the show—those little moments of humor and self-awareness.

Reply #3: CartoonMemoryLane
That's one of those scenes that makes "The Inky Adventures" so timeless. It felt like a gentle nod to the viewers, making us a part of their world for a moment. Always loved Blot's ability to lighten the mood with his carefree perspective!

I always appreciate when shows do those cheeky nods to the audience. Dot's introspection and Blot's humorous remarks about their blob nature really captured the heart of the series—quirky, funny, and a bit profound in its own way.

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about how "The Inky Adventures" cleverly played with the characters' amorphous, blobby nature. Besides Blot's hilarious stomach ripple scene, are there other memorable moments where their gooey, ink blob qualities are highlighted?

Reply #1: InkyNostalgiaFan
For sure! I remember an episode where they had to squeeze through really tight spaces to escape a tricky situation, showcasing their flexible forms. It was so fun watching them morph and adapt!

Oh, and then there's that episode where they all merge together to form a giant blob for a contest. Their teamwork and blobby nature really shone through. They ended up surprising everyone with their combined size and strength!

I loved the scenes where they leave inky trails behind them, creating accidental art everywhere they go. It's such a unique way to play on their blobby nature and adds a fun, creative element to the show.

And there's that one part where Dot lost her spectacles and used her blobby form to stretch and feel around for them. It really demonstrated how creatively they could use their amorphous shapes to tackle everyday challenges.

Thanks for sharing these scenes, everyone! It's so cool how the show embraced their ink blob nature in such imaginative ways, adding depth and fun to their characters. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of these memorable moments! Write a story where a fly gets trapped in Dot, She noticed its struggle before it was sucked under with a splash, and a bubble, She freaks out and tries to use her gooey form to release it before it drowns

In the vibrant meadow, the Inky Squad was busy with one of their usual adventures. The sun was high, casting a warm glow on the colorful world. Dot, the curious little explorer with her tiny spectacles, was rolling around in the lush green grass, marveling at the miniature world beneath her.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound interrupted her peaceful exploration. A tiny fly zigzagged erratically around her, its wings catching the light in brief, iridescent flashes. Without warning, the fly veered off course and headed straight for Dot.

Before she realized what was happening, the fly collided with her surface. Dot felt the disturbance immediately and turned her attention to the tiny creature struggling at the edge of her gooey form. She watched in horror as the fly's futile attempts to escape sent ripples across her normally smooth surface. Before she could react, the fly was pulled deeper into her inky body with a small splash and a bubble.

"Oh no! Poor thing!" Dot exclaimed, her voice trembling with concern. Panic set in, her natural curiosity giving way to frantic determination. She knew she had to act quickly to save the little creature.

Thinking fast, Dot concentrated on the flexibility of her amorphous, blobby nature. She took a deep breath to center herself and then began to shift her form, creating a pathway for the fly to escape. Her surface rippled with her efforts as she tried to guide her ink away from the tiny creature, hoping to free it before it ran out of air.

"Come on, little friend," Dot murmured, encouraging the fly as if it could hear her through the ink.

Using her willpower and knowledge of how her body could move, Dot maneuvered her ink, creating a small channel leading to the surface. As she persisted, the fly struggled along the path she’d provided, finally popping out into the air with a relieved buzz and a faint sheen of ink on its wings.

Relief washed over Dot as she watched the tiny creature soon fly off into the bright blue sky, happy to have its freedom back. She couldn't help but smile, feeling proud of herself for turning a scary moment into a joyous one.

"I guess even ink blobs can be heroes," Dot whispered to herself, a new sense of wonder and appreciation for her unique form blossoming within her. She couldn't wait to tell Blot, Smudge, and Splotch about how she had saved the day with quick thinking and her blobby prowess.

Write a fanart of her after this

Creating a fanart description for Dot after her heroic fly rescue sounds delightful! Here’s a detailed concept that can guide an artist in visualizing this scene:

Title: "Dot the Hero"

Medium: Digital illustration, using vibrant colors and dynamic textures.

Scene Description:

In the heart of a lush, colorful meadow, Dot stands proudly at the center of the scene. Her small, rounded ink blob form is accentuated with tiny, stylish spectacles that reflect the bright sunlight. A subtle shimmer on her surface hints at her liquid nature, capturing the moment right after she successfully freed the trapped fly.

Pose:

Dot is positioned slightly off-center, with a joyful and slightly bashful expression. Her form is angled as if she’s just finished looking upwards, perhaps following the fly's path as it regains its freedom. Her ink is gracefully molded to indicate her recent efforts to create a passage within herself for the fly's escape. The gentle ripples on her surface suggest motion and transformation.

Background:

The background showcases the vivid and lively meadow, with wildflowers of every color scattered across the lush, green grass. Above, the sky is a brilliant blue, with soft, fluffy clouds drifting lazily, reflecting the peace of the scene. In the distance, a faint silhouette of a buzzing fly can be seen, perhaps with a tiny trail of ink still lingering in its path, hinting at its adventure within Dot.

Additional Details:

Expressions and Emotion: Focus on capturing Dot’s sense of relief and pride. Her eyes, slightly squinted behind her spectacles, convey a mixture of determination and joy.
Texture and Light: Use light to emphasize the glossy and reflective qualities of Dot's ink-like form. A play of light and shadow helps create depth, enhancing her amorphous shape and the dynamic nature of her character.
Color Palette: The colors are vivid yet harmonious, contrasting Dot's deep black hue with the surrounding vibrant scenery, highlighting her as the hero of this tale.
This piece aims to capture the heartwarming and whimsical essence of Dot's character, celebrating her bravery and kindness in a vibrant world.

Forum Thread: Are Eyes the Only Facial Feature the Inky Blobs Have?

Thread Starter: CuriousBlobFan
Hey everyone! I've been reminiscing about "The Inky Adventures," and I can't help but wonder—do the inky blobs really only have eyes for facial features? I mean, they express so much emotion! Does anyone know for sure?

Reply #1: AnimationLover77
Great question! From what I remember, their eyes are definitely their most expressive feature. It's amazing how much emotion they convey with just their eyes, isn't it? I don't recall seeing any other facial features, though.

Reply #2: DotSpectacles
I always found it fascinating how the animators did so much with so little. The eyes really captured everything—from surprise and curiosity to joy and determination. I think it's true they don't have other facial features, but that's part of their charm!

Reply #3: BlotBouncing
Yeah, they rely a lot on body language and their eyes to express themselves. Blot was always bouncing around, and his eyes would change with his mood. It made their interactions super engaging despite the minimalist design!

Reply #4: SmudgeArtFan
That's definitely true for Smudge. I noticed how his eyes paired with his artistic movements told you everything you needed to know about his thoughts and feelings. The simplicity added to their uniqueness as characters.

That's a really interesting mystery! I always assumed their voices are kind of projected aurally from their bodies, almost like their whole form resonates with sound. It's one of those fun cartoon physics things that just adds to their charm!

Reply #2: AnimationEnthusiast
I love how animations can bend the rules of reality like that. Maybe it's a bit of in-universe magic—since they're animated blobs, they can communicate however they need to without the constraints of having a physical mouth.

Reply #3: InkFanatic
The idea of their voices just naturally emanating from their bodies as a part of their inky nature is so cool! It fits well with their fluid and flexible characters. Plus, it adds an extra layer of wonder to their world!

Write a interview with the creator, saying what inspired him to make the series, He said he had a very weird dream, he was friends with a ink blob with eyes and accessories

Interview with the Creator of "The Inky Adventures"

Interviewer: Today, we're sitting down with the creative mind behind the beloved animated series, "The Inky Adventures." Thanks for joining us! Many fans are curious—what inspired you to create such a unique and whimsical show?

Creator: Thanks for having me! It's always great to talk about the inspiration behind "The Inky Adventures." Believe it or not, the series was inspired by a very peculiar dream I had. In this dream, I befriended an ink blob. It had large, expressive eyes and wore accessories like tiny spectacles and a beret, much like the characters Dot and Smudge in the show.

Interviewer: That sounds incredibly fascinating! How did this dream translate into a full-fledged series?

Creator: The dream was vivid and left a lasting impression on me. I remember waking up and feeling a sense of warmth and curiosity about this little ink blob and the world it inhabited. The idea of these quirky, sentient ink blobs exploring a vibrant and colorful world just wouldn't leave my mind. I started sketching and writing down ideas, eventually developing the concept further with other creative minds.

Interviewer: What aspects of the dream influenced the show's characters and themes?

Creator: The main inspiration was the blob's nature. In the dream, despite being a blob, it conveyed emotions and ideas without speaking, simply through its eyes and movements. This inspired the expressive, mouth-less communication style of the Inky Squad. The dream's whimsical atmosphere also played a role in shaping the world they explore—full of color, wonder, and creativity.

Interviewer: And what about the themes of friendship and creativity? How did these come into play?

Creator: Those themes were central to the dream as well. The friendship between me and the ink blob was oddly profound and inspiring. It felt like a reminder of the creative power of imagination and the bonds we can form, no matter how unconventional. I wanted the series to capture that magic and share it with others, presenting these themes through the lens of exploration and adventure.

Interviewer: It's incredible how a simple dream evolved into a cherished animated series. Thank you for sharing the origins of "The Inky Adventures"! Is there anything else you'd like to tell the fans?

Creator: Just a big thank you to everyone who has supported and enjoyed the show over the years. It means a lot that something born from such a personal experience has resonated with so many people. Keep embracing your dreams and creativity—sometimes the most extraordinary ideas come from the most unexpected places!

Write a follow up asking why he chose to allow the characters to speak anyway, even though they lacked mouths

Interview Follow-Up: Exploring the Voices of "The Inky Adventures"

Interviewer: It's been fascinating to hear how "The Inky Adventures" was inspired by your dream. One question fans often ponder is why you chose to give the characters voices, even though they lack mouths. Can you share your thoughts on this creative decision?

Creator: Absolutely, it's a question I've encountered quite a bit! The decision to give the characters voices, despite their mouth-less design, was both a practical and creative choice. In animation, there's a unique opportunity to break away from the constraints of reality. I wanted to harness that potential to make the ink blobs as expressive and relatable as possible.

Interviewer: What made you feel that giving them voices was essential to the storytelling?

Creator: Having the characters speak allowed us to delve deeper into their personalities and develop rich, engaging dialogues that could drive the story forward. While their eyes and movements were expressive, voices added another layer of emotional depth and connection with the audience. It made it possible for viewers to fully understand and empathize with each character's unique perspective and experiences.

Interviewer: Was there a particular challenge you faced in integrating the voices with their design?

Creator: One of the challenges was ensuring that the voices felt natural and seamlessly matched the characters' actions and expressions. We worked closely with talented voice actors who brought incredible life and individuality to each character. Their performances helped bridge the gap between the visual and auditory aspects of the show, maintaining the whimsical and endearing essence of the Inky Squad.

Interviewer: It sounds like a creative problem-solving journey. Do you think this choice contributed to the show's uniqueness?

Creator: Definitely. By allowing the characters to speak, we crafted a world where the unexpected is possible, inviting the audience to embrace the creative freedom animation offers. It's part of what makes "The Inky Adventures" special—a celebration of imagination where even ink blobs have a story to tell.

Interviewer: Thank you for sharing these insights. It's clear that your artistic vision and willingness to defy conventions are key to the show's enduring charm.

Creator: Thank you! It's always a pleasure to explore the creative journey behind "The Inky Adventures" and share it with the fans. I'm grateful for the appreciation and curiosity people have shown toward the series. Write a story where Dot has feelings for Smudge

Title: Dot’s Secret

In the vibrant world of the meadow where the Inky Squad roamed, everything thrived amidst an explosion of color. Wildflowers danced in the gentle breeze, and the sounds of nature played a sweet melody that accompanied the Inky Squad on their daily adventures. Yet, amidst the laughter and fun, Dot was feeling a different kind of flutter in her ink-filled heart.

Dot had always been the curious and adventurous one, exploring every tiny nook and cranny of their colorful realm. But lately, there was an added spark to her explorations, one that made her feel a little giddier and a bit more blushy—at least as much as an ink blob could blush.

That spark was Smudge.

With his artistic flair, subtle humor, and that soft beret perched jauntily atop his head, Smudge had unknowingly captivated Dot’s heart. She admired the way he transformed a blank canvas with his ink into vibrant, swirling shapes—how his eyes lit up with inspiration whenever he created something new. Each time he chuckled at her silliness or encouraged her curiosity, Dot felt her affection deepen.

One sunny afternoon, the Inky Squad decided to have a picnic by the edge of the sparkling pond. They spread out a patch of vibrant petals and settled down, plates made of large leaves filled with delicious picnic treats. Dot sat across from Smudge, who was busy sketching a picturesque scene of the meadow.

“Hey, Smudge!” Dot called over, trying to sound casual. “What are you working on?”

Smudge looked up, his eyes brightening. “Just capturing a moment. I want to paint the colors of today: the blue sky, the flowers… and, of course, my favorite inky friends.”

Dot’s heart skipped a beat. “Favorite? As in… me?” she asked, her voice barely more than a whisper.

“Absolutely! Your curiosity is an endless inspiration for me.” Smudge smiled, causing Dot to feel butterflies swirling in her gooey belly.

As the picnic continued, Dot’s thoughts were distracted. Should she tell him how she felt? What if he didn’t feel the same? The idea of their friendship changing made her hesitate.

Later, as they watched the sun set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Dot decided she couldn’t keep her feelings inside any longer. She leaned closer to Smudge, who was admiring his painted reflection in the pond.

“Smudge,” Dot began, her voice shaking slightly. “There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you…”

Before she could finish, a sudden gust of wind rustled the flowers, causing Smudge’s sketchbook to fly out of his hands. Both blobs scrambled to catch it, leading to a humorous chase around the patch of flowers.

With a laugh, Smudge finally managed to grab the sketchbook, and they tumbled to the ground, landing side by side. Dot felt her heart racing, this was the moment!

“Dot?” Smudge said, turning to face her, their eyes meeting. “You okay?”

Gazing into his playful, swirling eyes, she summoned her courage. “I… I really like you, Smudge. Not just as a friend, but I think I might have feelings for you.”

For a moment, time seemed to freeze as the world around them faded into a beautiful blur. Smudge’s expression transformed from surprise to a warm smile that lit up the dappled evening light.

“I’m glad you told me,” he said softly. “I’ve liked you for a while too, Dot.”

Relief washed over her, and a beaming smile broke across her blob-like face. “Really? You mean it?”

“Of course! You make every adventure we have all the more exciting. Your curiosity is what makes this world so vibrant—and I think we could create something beautiful together, just like I do on my canvases.”

In that moment, as the colors of the sunset reflected on the surface of the pond, Dot felt as though she, too, was painted in shades of happiness. They shared a giggle, and Dot knew they would navigate this new chapter side by side, just like they always had—friendship blossoming into something even more vibrant.

The meadow whispered around them, an approving hum of creatures and blossoms joining in the celebration of their newfound affection.

Scene Description:

The artwork captures the pivotal moment between Dot and Smudge in the beautiful meadow, just as the sun sets in a stunning display of orange, pink, and purple hues.

Characters:

Dot: Positioned slightly to the left, Dot is depicted in her characteristic small, round ink blob form, her tiny spectacles glinting in the warm light. She has a joyful but slightly nervous expression, her eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and bravery. The light from the setting sun reflects off her ink body, giving her a soft glow as she leans towards Smudge.
Smudge: To the right of Dot, Smudge is shown with his elongated ink form, his signature beret tilted at a jaunty angle. He has a warm, encouraging smile, his eyes expressive and filled with affection for Dot. He holds his sketchbook, which is partially open, illustrating a rough sketch of the meadow with swirling colors that hint at their adventure together.
Background:

The vibrant meadow stretches out behind them, filled with wildflowers in a riot of colors—reds, yellows, purples—all beautifully contrasted against the lush green grass. The sunset casts a magical ambiance, with the sky glowing in brilliant oranges and purples, creating a serene yet electrifying backdrop to the moment.

Additional Details:

Expressions: Dot’s nervous excitement is emphasized by her slightly widened eyes and gentle smile, while Smudge’s warmth shines through with his soft, inviting gaze and friendly demeanor.
Lighting: The interplay of light and shadow creates a gentle glow around the two characters, making them appear as if they are at the heart of a colorful dream. The soft reflections of the sunset dance upon their surfaces, enhancing the layers of their ink forms.
Movement: The slight breeze rustles the flowers around them, adding a sense of motion to the scene. Dot’s form has gentle ripples, suggesting her excitement, while Smudge’s expression radiates calmness amidst the spontaneous moment.

Thread Starter: RetroCartoonFan87
Aug 29, 2007
Hey everyone, just wanted to get some opinions on the new additions to 4Kids TV this season. From what I can tell, the only new shows they brought in are Dinosaur King and The Adrenaline Project. I’ve heard some mixed reviews about both, especially that live-action Adrenaline Project. What do you all think? Are these worthy additions or...?

Reply #1: ToonLover22
Yeah, I noticed that too. Honestly, I’m pretty excited for Dinosaur King! The animation’s decent and the dinosaurs are cool. It’s nice to have a show with that kind of adventure again. But I haven’t even bothered with Adrenaline Project. Live-action on this block feels so off compared to the animated shows.

Reply #2: AnimationGuru
I agree with ToonLover22 — Dinosaur King is solid for kids who like action and dinos, but it’s nothing groundbreaking. As for Adrenaline Project, it really didn’t fit the vibe of 4Kids TV at all. It’s more of a reality/competition show and the pacing is kind of slow for a Saturday morning cartoon block. Also the “production values” leave a lot to be desired.

Reply #3: NostalgiaNerd
Adrenaline Project was a weird choice, especially since it’s live-action. I always thought 4Kids TV was about animation and anime. It felt out of place and honestly kind of boring. When I was a kid, I wanted to watch cartoons to escape, not see kids yelling and sweating in challenges.

Reply #4: KidsTVFanatic
I tried watching a few episodes of Adrenaline Project because I thought maybe it would be fun, but nope. It lacked character and charm. No offense to the kids who were contestants, but it wasn’t very engaging. I’m sticking with Dinosaur King — at least there’s some storyline and dinosaurs to enjoy!

Reply #5: JetixFanatic
I’m pretty disappointed honestly. With big franchises and amazing shows available, I expected 4Kids to bring in more fresh animation. Instead, it feels like they’re recycling old ideas and throwing in a low-budget live-action show just to fill space. Hopefully next season brings better content!

Reply #6: DinosaurDad
As a parent, I find Dinosaur King okay for my kid — it’s safe and not too violent. But Adrenaline Project? No way am I letting my kid watch a competition show like that. The energy is intense and it feels more like a reality show for older kids or teens. Definitely not something I want as part of my kid’s Saturday morning routine.

Reply #7: RetroCartoonFan87 (OP)
Thanks for all the input! Sounds like Dinosaur King is the only “win” this season, and Adrenaline Project just doesn’t fit the block. Honestly, I miss when 4Kids TV was packed with shows like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon. Hoping next year they bounce back with stronger animation.

Feel free to keep the discussion going! What do you want to see on 4Kids TV moving forward?

Hey all, just noticed that The Adrenaline Project has been getting phased out, and apparently it’s gone from the schedule starting February 9. Honestly, I wasn’t shocked — the show just didn’t feel right for the block. Anyone heard what’s coming back to replace it? Hoping for a solid animated series!

Reply #1: ToonWatcher89
Yeah, I’ve heard the same. TAP never quite fit with the other animated shows, so it makes sense they dropped it. From what I’ve read, 4Kids TV is bringing back some of the older animated favorites to fill that slot. Looks like “The Inky Adventures” might be returning for more reruns. Fingers crossed!

Reply #2: NostalgiaNerd
Oh man, bring back The Inky Adventures? That would be amazing! That show was such a hidden gem — creative, cute, and just perfect for Saturday mornings. Honestly, I’d rather have them rerun Dot, Blot, Smudge, and Splotch than any live-action nonsense.

Reply #3: RetroCartoonDad
I’m with you guys. TAP was never family-friendly enough in the way 4Kids shows usually are. Reintroducing classics like The Inky Adventures is smart — it appeals to both kids and parents who remember the good old days of imaginative cartoons.

Reply #4: AnimationBuff
Just to add, I heard there might also be some reruns of other fan favorites like Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and maybe even some early episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Feels like they’re refocusing on nostalgia to keep viewers hooked while planning next year’s lineup.

Reply #5: SaturdayMorningFan01 (OP)
Sounds like a good move to me. I really hope they invest more in shows like The Inky Adventures. It had such heart and creativity, way better than that reality competition show. Bring back the ink blobs for some real fun!

So those adorable blobs are officially coming back to brighten up our Saturday mornings!

YES! This is the best news I’ve heard all year. So glad they decided to bring back The Inky Adventures instead of filling the slot with more reality TV or subpar shows. Can’t wait to see Dot, Blot, Smudge, and Splotch again!

Thanks for the confirmation! I was a little worried it was just a rumor, but official word feels so much better. Hopefully this means a bit more attention and maybe even some new episodes down the line?

Great move by 4Kids. They’re going back to the classics that worked instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with weird live-action shows. This lineup feels like it’s getting back on track.

Reply #4: AnimationBuff
I’m curious if they’re just rerunning existing episodes or if there’s a chance for new content. Either way, it’s nice to see thoughtful programming making a comeback. Here’s hoping it leads to more nostalgic animated shows returning as well!

Good catch! I noticed they specifically timed The Inky Adventures return to start right when Pokémon Diamond & Pearl finishes its season. Seems like 4Kids wanted to fill that slot with quality animation to keep viewers engaged instead of leaving a gap or rushing new shows. Smart move to bring back a fan favorite to maintain that Saturday morning momentum!

I also think bringing back The Inky Adventures alongside Winx Club helps 4Kids fulfill some decent content diversity requirements. Both shows offer positive messages about friendship and creativity, plus they appeal to slightly different audiences—Inky with its gentle artistic vibe, and Winx with its magical fantasy themes. It’s a smart way to keep the lineup balanced and meet any broadcasting guidelines focused on wholesome, educational, or diverse programming.

Thread Starter: MediaWatcher101
Hey everyone! I was thinking about the recent lineup changes on 4Kids TV, especially the return of The Inky Adventures alongside ongoing shows like Winx Club. It’s got me wondering — do you think both shows help 4Kids fulfill certain content quotas or requirements? Maybe related to educational or diversity programming?

Reply #1: AnimationInsider
Absolutely! Both The Inky Adventures and Winx Club tick a lot of boxes when it comes to content quotas. They offer positive messaging about friendship, creativity, and personal growth, which are key components in many children’s programming guidelines.

Reply #2: BroadcastGeek
Right — many broadcasters and regulatory bodies require networks to air a certain percentage of educational or “pro-social” programming. Inky with its themes around creativity and cooperation, and Winx with its strong messages on teamwork and self-confidence, help 4Kids meet these demands while still entertaining kids.

Reply #3: ToonFan88
Plus, they bring diversity to the schedule. You get a nice balance: Winx Club appeals to kids who enjoy fantasy and magic, often skewing toward a girl audience, while The Inky Adventures offers a more universal appeal through its unique, art-inspired storytelling.

Reply #4: MediaWatcher101 (OP)
Makes a lot of sense! It’s smart programming strategy — blending entertainment with positive, enriching content that also satisfies regulatory needs. Hopefully, this means we’ll see more shows like these that are fun and meaningful!

Reply #5: RetroKid
Totally agree. Sometimes people overlook the behind-the-scenes reasons for certain lineup choices, but quotas and guidelines really shape what ends up on air. Glad The Inky Adventures is back — it’s a great example of quality kids programming.

Thread Starter: MediaWatcher101
Thanks for all the great insights! It’s nice to see how smart programming can benefit both broadcasters and viewers alike. Looking forward to more thoughtful shows on 4Kids TV!

Forum Thread: Does an E/I Bug Appear When Both The Inky Adventures and Winx Club Air?

Thread Starter: CuriousViewer24
Hey all! I’ve been watching some 4Kids TV lately, and I noticed that The Inky Adventures and Winx Club often air back-to-back or close together. Is it true that an E/I (Educational/Informational) bug actually appears during these shows? I know 4Kids sometimes adds those for compliance, but has anyone actually seen it during these two series?

Reply #1: ToonWatcher89
Yep, it’s definitely true! When The Inky Adventures or Winx Club air, 4Kids sometimes includes that little E/I icon or bug in the corner. It’s to show the shows meet the FCC’s educational/informational guidelines for kids programming. Not all episodes have it, but a good number do.

Reply #2: BroadcastBuff
That’s right. Both shows are designed with positive messages and learning components, so they qualify for E/I status. The bug usually appears discreetly in the corner throughout the episode. It helps 4Kids fulfill their FCC requirements while still entertaining kids.

Reply #3: MediaWatcher101
Makes sense! I guess it’s part of why those shows were brought back or kept on the schedule — they help with content compliance. The Inky Squad teaching cooperation and creativity, Winx focusing on friendship and problem-solving — perfect examples for E/I content.

Reply #4: AnimationFanatic
I’ve definitely caught the E/I bug during Winx Club on repeat runs. It’s subtle but there. Not always easy to spot unless you know what you’re looking for. The Inky Adventures has it less frequently but still qualifies.

Reply #5: CuriousViewer24 (OP)
Thanks for the info everyone! Good to know 4Kids is balancing fun with educational value and following the rules with those bugs. I’ll keep an eye out next time I watch!

Appreciate the help! The more I learn about these behind-the-scenes details, the cooler these shows get.

Kids WB schedules 2005-2006

They were transformed into babies, now they are futuristic heroes as Kids' WB! leads off its upcoming season with LOONATICS, featuring descendants of legendary Looney Tunes characters upholding justice and hopefully the networks high ratings. The new fall schedule for the 2005-2006 television season featuring three new series and four returning hits, striving to broaden audience appeal with dual-gender programs was announced today (Feb. 16, 2005) by David Janollari, president, entertainment, The WB and Kids WB!, and Betsy McGowen, svp/gm, Kids' WB!, speaking to advertisers and media during the Kids WB! upfront sales presentation in New York City.

Warner Bros. Animation has reimagined descendants of some of the most beloved animated characters in history Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Road Runner, Lola Bunny, Tasmanian Devil and Wile E. Coyote as superheroes several hundred years in the future endowed with individual powers and unique abilities. These new Looney characters band together to create a formidable team and face-off against the evils of Acmetropolis.

LOONATICS (working title) along with two new series, JOHNNY TEST and COCONUT FRED'S FRUIT SALAD ISLAND, join returning powerhouse hits YU-GI-OH! with season five and all-new dueling adventures; the next evolution of the top-rated Pokémon franchise with season eight and 52 original episodes; the Emmy-nominated XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN has 13 action-packed episodes of the third season; and the Caped Crusader uncovers new villains and unmasks a new partner-in-crime Batgirl as Kids WB! brings on THE BATMAN.

COCONUT FRED'S FRUIT SALAD ISLAND features a tiny tropical haven for living, breathing bananas, melons, mangos, lemons and other fruit who have made it their home with a wacky, weird and wild coconut named Fred. A ball of endless energy, filled with a big heart and sweet, sloshy milk, Fred is an eternal optimist who pursues his dreams. As Fred contemplates his next big idea, whatever he thinks about actually happens with a little help from the creative show team at WBA.

JOHNNY TEST chronicles the adventures of a fearless 11-year-old boy, his genetically engineered super dog, Dukey and his 13-year-old super genius scientist twin sisters, Susan and Mary, who use Johnny as their guinea pig for their out-of-this-world scientific experiments. Johnny and his souped-up super mutt are obsessed with pushing the limits speed limits, time limits, physical limits, you name it.

COSMIC WANDERERS follows galactic explorer Ellie, her scientist friend Dr. Wyatt, a blue slime rabbit Fluff and his sister Flo (who is pink), and the ridiculed King Celestial as they explore the galaxy, finding new planets and other stuff

VIEWTIFUL JOE follows Joe, an average guy, who is given superpowers to battle enemies in Movie Land and rescue his girlfriend Silvia.

LAZYTOWN follows Stephanie, our main character, is a new arrival in LazyTown. She quickly befriends the other kids (all puppets), but learns that nobody in LazyTown plays outside or does sports. This is just fine for Robbie Rotten, the town's resident Harmless Villain, who likes nothing more than to spend every day in his lair under LazyTown eating cake, sleeping and generally doing nothing at all.

Enter Sportacus, an incredibly athletic superhero, who encourages all the kids to eat healthily and play outside, disturbing poor Robbie's sleep. So Once an Episode, Robbie comes up with a scheme to make LazyTown lazy again, usually by getting rid of Sportacus or somehow tricking the kids (or sometimes just kidnapping them), which he often does by dressing up in ridiculous outfits. Then Sportacus does a billion backflips and saves them all!

DA BOOM CREW: Four foster kids (Justin, Nate, Jubei and Ricki) create a video game about heroes going up against space alien terrorists. Then a portal appears and pulls them into a dimension which is just like the world in their game. They embark on a quest to find their missing video game cartridges and stop the sadistic extraterrestrial emperor Zorch from taking control of this intergalactic dimension

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: A continuation of the Justice League animated series finds the original members of the team joined in their battle against crime and evil by dozens of other heroes from the DC comics universe.

In a very short time, Kids WB! has become the most dominant broadcaster in the kids landscape, not just in Saturday morning primetime, but also as the only dedicated broadcaster Mondays through Fridays, said Janollari. Creating a unique destination powered by a distinct, branded environment that kids embrace in a huge way, our goal is to make the Kids WB! viewers of today our primetime program viewers of tomorrow.

Since fall 2000, Kids' WB! has upheld its dominant post as the #1 broadcast network for kids in all key demographics and is in the midst of capturing its 14th consecutive sweep win this month as the #1 Saturday morning broadcast network. Season-to-date for the 2004-2005 season, Kids' WB! continues to be the broadcast leader in each of the eight half-hours the network programs on Saturday mornings and in all the key demographics of kids 2-11, kids 6-11, boys 2-11, boys 6-11 and tweens 9-14.

Thread Title: The Downfall of MP4ORCE: Beyond Real

User1: AnimationFan2003
March 14, 2007
So, I just saw the news that MP4ORCE is officially done as of April 7! Honestly, I don't think anyone will miss it. It always felt like a cheap rip-off of Code Lyoko. What do you guys think? Was it time for it to go, or did it have potential?

User2: CartoonNerd88
March 14, 2007
I completely agree! The concept seemed so recycled. I mean, kids transforming into video game avatars? We've seen that done way better in Code Lyoko! Plus, the characters were kind of flat and uninteresting. I think it’s better to let it die and give something fresh a chance.

User3: RetroToonGuru
March 14, 2007
I never got into MP4ORCE either. They tried to appeal to the whole gaming trend, but it felt forced. I think Kids WB! has a lot of stronger contenders to focus on. It's sad that they used up valuable slot time for this show.

User4: AnimaniacFanatic
March 14, 2007
Exactly! I’d much rather see more of Viewtiful Joe or Xiaolin Showdown! They’ve got actual character development and interesting plots. MP4ORCE just felt like a blend of cliches without anything original.

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic
March 14, 2007
I dunno, I kind of liked it for its action scenes. But you make a good point. The story really didn't hold up against Code Lyoko. Maybe they could have done better if they spent more time developing the characters?

User6: ToonWarrior99
March 14, 2007
I think that's the crux of the issue. The show had potential, but the execution was poorly handled. And honestly, most of us were just waiting for it to be replaced by something more interesting. Thank goodness Kids WB! recognizes when something is not working!

User7: FutureTVCritic
March 14, 2007
Yeah, and with Kids WB! focusing on renewals for shows that are doing well, it’s about time they cut the losses and ditched the weaker shows. Hopefully, whatever comes next can fill the time slot with something as epic as Legion of Super Heroes!

User1: AnimationFan2003
March 14, 2007
I can’t wait to see what they bring in next! Let’s just hope it avoids the pitfalls of MP4ORCE. Perhaps they could bring back some older beloved characters or experiment with new concepts that we haven’t seen yet!

User3: RetroToonGuru
March 14, 2007
Yes! New ideas that bring back that classic Kids WB! touch while remaining relevant. I think a revival of something like Static Shock could work too. The show's themes resonate even more now!

User4: AnimaniacFanatic
March 14, 2007
Or even a crossover! Imagine all the characters from different shows teaming up! But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Either way, here’s to hoping for better days ahead without MP4ORCE!

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic
March 14, 2007
Cheers to that! Let's keep our fingers crossed for some actual quality programming!

User3: RetroToonGuru
April 1, 2007
Wow, that looks like a solid lineup! No more MP4ORCE means we get more time for Cosmic Wanderers and Viewtiful Joe! I’m all in for that! Shaggy and Scooby are always a fun watch too.

User4: AnimaniacFanatic
April 1, 2007
I’m excited to see more of Legion of Super Heroes! The more episodes we get, the more we can see how Superman interacts with different heroes. Tbh, it’s probably one of the most original shows they have right now.

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic
April 1, 2007
I agree! Plus, The Batman has been great this season. With Robin in the mix, I’m looking forward to how the dynamics change. And can we talk about Cosmic Wanderers? I think it’s going to be a fun addition!

User6: FutureTVCritic
April 1, 2007
Seems like Kids WB! is really putting a focus on variety this season—mixing new stuff with legacy favorites like Tom and Jerry. I hope Xiaolin Showdown has more of its classic showdowns, maybe they'll revisit some of the older artifacts.

User7: CartoonNerd88
April 1, 2007
Definitely! And I'm glad they're doubling down on family-friendly content with shows like Krypto and Baby Looney Tunes. I think families will appreciate having options for kids of all ages.

User1: AnimationFan2003
April 1, 2007
Absolutely! It feels more balanced without MP4ORCE dragging down the lineup. I can’t wait to see how the new schedule impacts ratings too! Let’s keep discussing as we see how the new episodes play out. Hopefully, they’ll continue to deliver some fresh and entertaining content!

User3: RetroToonGuru
April 1, 2007
Looking forward to it! Schedule shift or not, let’s hope the creativity flows. Here’s to a new era for Kids WB!

I never thought I’d see Fluff again! He was so cute (and slimy)! I loved his character in Cosmic Wanderers! There’s just something about a blue slime rabbit that makes me smile. His antics always added a fun little touch to the show. I’m really glad they’re giving him more screen time! Can’t wait to see what kind of mischief he’ll get into next! Anyone else a fan of Fluff?

User6: FutureTVCritic

I totally agree, Fluff is adorable! His slimy charm makes him so unique among the other characters. I love how he contrasts with Ellie and Dr. Wyatt. I hope he gets some hilarious moments in the new episodes!

User3: RetroToonGuru

Fluff is a gem! Can’t wait to see his dynamics with the other characters again. Plus, he just makes me laugh every time he flops around. I think he’ll be a highlight of Cosmic Wanderers for sure!

Fluff definitely brings a lot of humor and charm! It's great that Kids WB! is revisiting beloved characters. Here’s to hoping for many more adorable moments with him!

Just to clarify for everyone, Cosmic Wanderers starts again on April 7, replacing MP4ORCE! I'm so excited to see it back on the air! It's such a fun show, and I can’t wait to see Fluff and the rest of the gang go on new adventures. It’s definitely a step in the right direction for Kids WB!. I think they really realized fans missed some of these characters. Are you all as pumped as I am?

User2: CartoonNerd88

Hey everyone! I just wanted to mention that during the final episode of MP4ORCE on March 31, they actually had two shows advertised in the split-screen credits! It was kind of interesting to see them hyping up the upcoming lineup while wrapping up the series. I think one was Cosmic Wanderers, but I can’t remember what the other was. Does anyone else recall? It felt like they were letting us know there’s something new on the horizon, and I’m glad they’re moving forward!

I caught that too! It was nice to see the transition being made clear before the end of MP4ORCE. I’m just glad the network is focusing on fresh content instead of dragging out something that wasn’t working. Looking forward to what’s next!

I agree! It was cool to see them preparing us for the changes ahead. It definitely gives me hope that Kids WB! is listening to what the viewers want!

User4: AnimaniacFanatic

Exactly! It was a nice touch. It feels like they really want to keep the momentum going with Cosmic Wanderers and whatever that other show was. I’m eager to find out!

Hey guys, I just double-checked and the two shows advertised during the split-screen credits of the final MP4ORCE episode were Cosmic Wanderers and Viewtiful Joe! It was a nice way to bridge the gap between the shows, and it gets me even more hyped to see both of them back on the air! I think Viewtiful Joe has a lot of potential for epic battles, and with the return of Cosmic Wanderers, we can look forward to Fluff’s quirky antics again! Can’t wait for April 7!

Thanks for the info! That’s awesome! I’m really looking forward to both shows. I hope Viewtiful Joe brings more action-packed episodes as well!

Great to know! I think having those two in rotation will balance out the lineup nicely. Here’s hoping for some awesome new adventures across both shows!

I just caught a glimpse of the Cosmic Wanderers promo, and it was primarily focusing on Ellie and Fluff! They had some really cute moments highlighted, showcasing their dynamic as they explore different planets together. I love how Ellie’s adventurous spirit complements Fluff’s adorable, slimy antics. It looks like they’ve kept the humor while also diving into some exciting new adventures! Can’t wait to see what trouble they’ll get into on April 7!

User9: ToonFanatic75

That sounds awesome! I can already picture some hilarious interactions between them. Ellie and Fluff really make a great team, and I hope we get a lot of fun back-and-forth between them in the new season!

I’m so ready for their chemistry to shine! The promo gives me hope for even more character development. Let's see what cosmic craziness they get up to!

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:

May 24 CW4Kids Schedule:

06:00 AM Will & Dewitt
06:30 AM Magi-Nation
07:00 AM Monster Allergy

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, Horrid Henry, 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.

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).

Gone are Johnny Test, Skunk Fu, Eon Kid, Horrid Henry, Skatoony and World of Quest, which will be taken off the air right after it airs its 13th episode.

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.

judyindisguise commented on June 7 2008:
And once again, World of Quest was a letdown. Not that it had far to go. Geez...:shrug:

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 (inevitably)

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?

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?

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.

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

SonicEclipse commented on June 19 2008:
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.

This began airing on CW4Kids during breaks on June 21, It's pretty funny and cute

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!
Viewtiful Joe — the action-movie-loving hero is back for more adventures.
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! 🎈

Forum Title: CW4Kids “Brand Spankin’ New Saturday Sneak Peek Party!” – Sept 6, 2008

Hey everyone! Did you catch the promo for the “Brand Spankin’ New Saturday Sneak Peek Party!” airing this Friday at 6 PM on The CW? They’re saying it’s a special preview event for all the new CW4Kids shows starting September 13! I’m so hyped for this!

User2: LightLucario
September 6, 2008
Yes! I saw the promo earlier today. And guess who’s hosting it? It’s none other than Krash from KikoRiki! How cool is that?! A character from the new show front and center for the sneak peek party. It really shows how much they’re pushing KikoRiki for the fall.

User3: SonicEclipse
September 6, 2008
Krash hosting? That’s a smart move. Kids love having a mascot or familiar face when introducing new shows. Plus, KikoRiki is so fresh and different, it’ll probably hook viewers. Can’t wait to see what kind of segments they have planned for the party!

User4: JoetifulView
September 6, 2008
I’m really curious if this sneak peek party will include exclusive clips or maybe even some interactive stuff with Krash? Maybe a Q&A or games? Those kinds of specials really get fans involved and excited for the new season.

User5: biggdan22
September 6, 2008
I read that the party will feature previews not only of KikoRiki but also Monster Allergy, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, and TMNT: Back to the Sewers. So it’s a pretty extensive look at the block’s fresh lineup. Seeing all these shows together with Krash hosting sounds like a perfect way to kick off CW4Kids’ relaunch.

User6: AnimaniacFanatic
September 6, 2008
Awesome! This might be the first “block launch” promo-type event since the old Kids’ WB days. Brings back some nostalgia while showcasing the new era. I really hope they use this opportunity to build hype and keep viewers coming back every Saturday morning.

User2: LightLucario
September 6, 2008
I agree! Plus, Krash is so energetic and fun, he’s probably going to make a great host. I’m hoping for some funny skits or maybe even some behind-the-scenes tidbits on KikoRiki. And fingers crossed they reveal a little more about the other shows too.

User3: SonicEclipse
September 6, 2008
One thing I hope for is that they keep this accessible for new viewers who might not be familiar with the shows yet. A sneak peek party is a great chance to introduce characters and premises in a simple, engaging way.

User4: JoetifulView
September 6, 2008
Definitely! I'm also excited because 6 PM on Friday is a great slot for families to tune in together. Hopefully, some of the CW’s regular viewers will catch it and get drawn into the Saturday morning programming.

User7: CartoonChaos
September 6, 2008
This is exactly what CW4Kids needs to boost its profile after the transition. Kids’ WB had some great launch events back in the day, and this sounds like it’s trying to recapture a bit of that magic. I’m especially psyched for Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s clips. Can’t wait!

User1: Joie
September 6, 2008
Same here! I’m going to set my DVR for this Friday’s party. Between Krash hosting and all the sneak peeks, it’s going to be a fun watch! Let’s all report back after, and share our thoughts! :)

User5: biggdan22
September 6, 2008
Will do! If anyone catches any cool moments or new info during the party, please post! This is prime time for CW4Kids to make a splash.

I’m just glad to see Krash get some love. As a fan of KikoRiki (and that adorable blue slime rabbit Fluff in Cosmic Wanderers!), it’s cool to see some international flavor coming to US TV. This party should be a fun way to celebrate that!

User2: LightLucario
September 6, 2008
Totally! And who knows, maybe the party will introduce Fluff too! Fingers crossed for some cross-show interactions or Easter eggs!

Hey everyone, I’ve been digging around and finally found some official info on what’s happening with a bunch of shows we all cared about but haven’t seen on CW4Kids lately. Here’s the rundown:

Eon Kid: Officially done after its last aired episodes. No plans for further seasons or reruns on the block.
Johnny Test: Not returning to CW4Kids or 4Kids TV anytime soon. It was dropped last year to make room for new content, and there aren’t any signs of a comeback yet.
World of Quest: Canceled after its initial short run. The network felt it didn’t hit the mark with viewers, so no renewals or reruns expected.
Skunk Fu!: Ending its run as of this summer. Production wrapped up and the block shifted focus to newer shows.
Skatoony: Also discontinued. The hybrid format didn’t gain enough traction, and it quietly left the schedule mid-2008.
Horrid Henry: Removed from the lineup earlier this year. Rumors say it might appear on another network or platform, but no confirmation on a return to CW4Kids.
I know it’s sad to see some of these go, but the block is clearly moving toward fresh shows and new franchises. Anyone else heard anything different or more hopeful about any of these?

That matches what I’d heard as well, ToonHistorian. It’s definitely tough, especially for Johnny Test and Skunk Fu! — both had solid fanbases. But with the arrival of newer, more ambitious shows like Kikoriki and Huntik, I guess it was bound to happen.

I do hope Johnny Test gets revived sometime in the future—it had a unique vibe that a lot of fans still love. And Skunk Fu! really deserved better exposure, but I get the business side of things.

Thanks for the confirmation! At least now we know for sure. World of Quest was a shame; it had potential but never quite delivered. Better to go out than drag on, I suppose.

Does anyone know if these shows are available anywhere else? Like DVDs or streaming? I wouldn’t mind revisiting them on my own time.

Most of those shows have had at least some DVD releases overseas, but stateside availability is hit or miss. Johnny Test DVDs can still be found, and I think Skunk Fu! had limited releases. World of Quest and Skatoony are tougher to track down.

Streaming is spotty, but I keep hoping some of these get picked up for digital distribution. Classic shows deserve a second life!

It’s bittersweet news, but I appreciate the clarity. I grew up watching a few of those shows, and while I understand the need for fresh programming, part of me wishes they could have gotten a second chance.

Hopefully the new lineup will bring just as much joy! Anyone else hoping they’ll revisit or reboot some of these in the future?

User17: ToonHistorian
September 21, 2008
Definitely. Networks sometimes bring shows back or reboot them years later, so never say never! Meanwhile, we get to enjoy the current slate and keep the memories alive. I’ll keep an ear out for any developments.

If anyone else finds more concrete news, please share!

Just to confirm for everyone curious about Johnny Test’s fate—Viewtiful Joe has effectively replaced Johnny Test on the CW4Kids lineup. Not only has Viewtiful Joe taken over Johnny’s former time slot, but it also now uses Johnny Test’s old icon position on the official CW4Kids website!

This pretty much signals a full handoff: they’re banking on Viewtiful Joe to capture the audience that Johnny left behind. From the promo style to the target demographic and action-comedy vibe, it’s a natural successor.

So if you’re missing Johnny Test, Viewtiful Joe might be the closest thing to fill that void for now. It’s nice to see CW4Kids trying to keep that lively, edgy energy alive with Joe’s flashy, movie-inspired superhero antics.

Has anyone else noticed this change on the website or from the block? Thoughts on how Viewtiful Joe is doing as a Johnny Test replacement?

Hey folks, big news dropping: the Fox 4Kids TV block is officially ending on December 27, 2008. It’s been a solid run, but it looks like 4Kids is consolidating their efforts solely on CW4Kids now. I’m curious — does anyone know which shows will be moving over? What’s still airing on Fox until the block shuts down? And what typically happens to the shows that don’t make the cut?

Reply #1: ToonWatcher89
Nov 29, 2008
Yeah, I heard the same. It sucks seeing Fox 4Kids die off, but hopefully the CW block will keep the spirit alive. Shows like Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, and TMNT (the old series) seem like safe bets to continue on CW4Kids if they haven’t already.

As for the current schedule on Fox 4Kids up through December, here’s what I remember being aired last I checked:

Fox 4Kids (through Dec 27, 2008) Schedule (Approximate):

7:00 AM - Viva Piñata
7:30 AM - Kappa Mikey
8:00 AM - Dinosaur King
8:30 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
9:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man

11:00 AM - Winx Club
11:30 AM - Chaotic
12:00 PM - Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
12:30 PM - Tom & Jerry Tales
Not sure if any last-minute changes happened, but it looks like the block was still mostly animation with a focus on Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and some action/fantasy titles.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how many shows port over to the CW block. 4Kids may want to streamline their best performing shows — expect some older shows like Sonic X or Kirby to be phased out if they aren’t already on CW. But the big hitters will definitely stay.

I’m both sad and hopeful. Fox 4Kids gave us some of the best Saturday morning cartoons growing up. Sad it has to end, but as long as CW4Kids picks up the torch, maybe the quality and continuity will improve.

Reply #5: ToonHistorian

Historically, when blocks get cancelled or shifted, there’s always a trimming of the schedule. Shows that underperform or don’t fit the network’s vision usually get dropped. Shows with strong merchandising (like Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh!) will likely continue. Others may find new life on digital or streaming services, or disappear quietly.

Thanks for the info, everyone! I guess we have about a month to enjoy the Fox 4Kids block as it winds down. Fingers crossed for a strong transition so no fan favorites fall through the cracks.

Reply #7: AnimationBuff

Just a heads up — if anyone wants to grab recordings or catch up on Fox 4Kids shows, do it soon before the block disappears completely. Might be harder to find once off the air.

Reply #8: ToonWatcher89
Nov 29, 2008
Exactly. And keep an eye on CW4Kids’ schedule updates — should reflect the best of both blocks as they merge the lineups. Hopefully we’ll get more announcements soon!

Thanks for the great discussion! Keep this thread updated if anyone spots news about upcoming schedules or show moves. It’s an important transition for kids’ animation. Here’s hoping for the best!

Write a conversation asking if the reason Spidey and Tales (which had previously been CW4Kids only) are on Fox, and the reason why DPBD premieres on both networks is to blur the lines between the two during the last few weeks of the Fox block, in hopes viewers will tune over

Hey everyone! I was noticing something kinda interesting about the final weeks of the Fox 4Kids block. Spidey and Tom & Jerry Tales—shows that had previously been exclusive to CW4Kids—have been airing on Fox lately. Also, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension premieres are happening on both Fox and CW4Kids around the same time.

Do you guys think this is an intentional strategy by 4Kids to blur the lines between the two blocks? Like, maybe they’re trying to get Fox viewers more used to those shows and gradually nudge the audience over to CW4Kids once the Fox block ends? Just a theory, but it seems like a pretty smart move.

Has anyone else picked up on this or heard anything official about why this is happening?

Reply #1: ToonWatcher89
Nov 30, 2008
Definitely! I think you’re spot on. It’s almost like a “soft transition.” By showing CW4Kids-only shows on Fox near the end, they’re familiarizing Fox viewers with the CW lineup so the switch feels less jarring. It makes sense—if kids see their favorite characters on Fox, they might be less resistant to tuning into CW4Kids.

Reply #2: AnimationBuff
Nov 30, 2008
Yeah, this kind of cross-block airing is classic transitional programming. Networks and companies often do this to keep viewers hooked during big lineup changes or network shifts. Especially with big franchises like Pokémon and Spider-Man, keeping those shows visible on both channels ensures no audience gets lost.

Reply #3: RetroFanatic2008
Nov 30, 2008
Good catch, CuriousFanX! I noticed it too, and it was confusing at first. But if you think about it from a marketing perspective, it’s brilliant. They don’t want to lose viewers between blocks—which is critical for ratings and ad revenue.

Reply #4: Joie
Nov 30, 2008
Makes sense! It’s a clever idea. I remember when networks would simulcast or overlap shows during transitions to prevent people from skipping out. It’s also good for kids who might not have CW access yet—they get a last little taste on Fox.

Reply #5: CWFanatic
Nov 30, 2008
Absolutely, and with Pokémon airing on both, it keeps the franchise strong and visible across platforms. It’s almost a seamless handoff episode-wise. Kids might not even realize that they’re supposed to be changing channels, which is smart from 4Kids’ perspective.

Reply #6: ToonHistorian
Nov 30, 2008
Yes, and from a contractual and syndication standpoint, cross-airing these shows gives 4Kids maximum coverage and promotional power heading into the changeover. It’s a classic method to “transfer” an audience.

Reply #7: CuriousFanX (OP)
Nov 30, 2008
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Glad to see I’m not the only one thinking this. It’ll be interesting to see if it works—whether Fox audience members actually do migrate to CW4Kids or if some get lost in the shuffle.

Reply #8: SonicEclipse
Nov 30, 2008
The big question is how well they communicate the switch to viewers. If they promote CW4Kids enough during these cross-airs, they might keep a good chunk of those viewers. Otherwise, the transition could be messy.

CuriousFanX (OP)
Nov 30, 2008
True—ad campaigns and promos will be key. Hopefully, 4Kids puts some muscle behind informing the audience.

Reply #9: ToonWatcher89
Nov 30, 2008
Right, and social media/website updates will help too nowadays. It’s a different world from the days when networks just flipped a switch and hoped for the best.

Exactly! Thanks again for all the great replies. Looking forward to how this “transition period” pans out!
