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, Also a new show, GoGoRiki joins on the 21st as well.

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, just with probs FAR better luck than their parents (because this time it IS a kids show here). Either way, it looks really cute

Looks like it’s a popular Russian childrens show called “Smeshariki” (aka Kikoriki) It actually looks pretty interesting.

It looks like it could be cool, Also I read that Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are coming to the block on June 21 as well (what is it with 4Kids and schedule changes on June 21).

It’s a decent mix of new and old, but am I the only one missing the old Kids’ WB vibe? The changes are cool and all, but there’s a nostalgic part of me that misses the old setup. Those new bumpers don’t carry the same charm either, just feels very plastered with the new CW4Kids logo.

@RetroKid, I get where you’re coming from. The nostalgia factor does play a huge role. But change is inevitable, I guess. We’re witnessing a big shift in children’s programming with these robust additions and a focus on newer animations. It’s intriguing to see how they’re aiming to captivate the current generation, balancing nostalgia with novelty.

Everyone’s points are valid. It’s a balancing act for CW4Kids. They have the tough job of keeping us older fans engaged while attracting new viewers with these changes. Excited to see where they take this new era though. Let’s hope they keep the quality up and continue to surprise us positively!

I caught the new promo for TMNT: Fast Forward, and it looks action-packed! Excited to see how they handle the storyline in this new slot. GoGoRiki also has a quirky charm to it; my younger siblings seem to be drawn to its unique animation style.

Gotta say, the promo for Yu-Gi-Oh GX caught my eye. Looks like they are upping the ante with some serious drama and high-stakes battles this season. Curious to see how Chaotic will fit into the mix — seems like it has a different vibe from everything else.

The promos did a great job hyping up the shows. I was particularly impressed with how vibrant and lively the GoGoRiki promo was. Fits right into the Saturday morning cartoon vibe. Also, it’s refreshing to see they’re maintaining a mix of action and comedy across the morning schedule.

Caught the new lineup yesterday! While I’m slowly warming up to the new additions, I do miss some of the old Kids’ WB classics that used to fill my Saturday mornings. But I agree with Allerf, the lively mix certainly keeps things engaging. Here’s to hoping they keep refining the schedule to keep us both nostalgic fans and the new generation happy!, Write a convo in September when the fall lineup is revealed, Joining is Dinosaur King, Viva Pinata, and Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds (replacing GX), Also TMNT switches to the new season 2
