. Write/make the inevitable 4Kids schedule in late June 2008 (when Chaotic, TMNT and Yu-Gi-Oh GX came)
When CW4Kids incorporated shows like “Chaotic,” “TMNT” (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX” into their line-up in late June 2008, the schedule underwent adjustments to accommodate these new additions. Here’s a hypothetical example of what the programming schedule might have looked like:

### CW4Kids Schedule - Late June 2008
Saturday Morning:

07:00 AM - Will & Dewitt
07:30 AM - Magi-Nation
08:00 AM - Skunk Fu!
08:30 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales
09:00 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales
09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:30 AM - Chaotic
11:00 AM - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT)
11:30 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

This schedule integrates “Chaotic,” “TMNT,” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX” into the late morning slots, a time typically popular with slightly older children, which matches the target audiences for these shows. The earlier morning segments retained programming suited to a broader and slightly younger audience, including animated series like “Tom & Jerry Tales” and “Magi-Nation.”

Note that the start times are subject to change based on local television schedules and the specific needs of the broadcaster. Additional programming adjustments might be considered based on the popularity and performance of the shows in their initial weeks.

Thread: CW4Kids Programming Schedule Changes - What’s Staying Put?

—

User1:
Hey everyone! With all the shuffle happening over at CW4Kids, does anyone know which shows are locked in and won’t be removed anytime soon? I’m trying to figure out which of my kids’ favorites are safe.

User2:
From what I’ve heard, there are three shows that CW4Kids sees as untouchable right now. They are “Will & Dewitt,” “Magi-Nation,” and “Skunk Fu!” These are considered the cornerstone programs for the morning lineup, probably due to consistent viewer numbers or a specific deal with the producers.

User3:
That’s right, @User2. Plus, those shows tend to appeal to a broad age range, which is great for parents with kids of different ages. “Will & Dewitt” is particularly popular with the younger kids for its themes and humor, while “Magi-Nation” and “Skunk Fu!” attract those who are slightly older thanks to their more adventurous plots.

User4:
I was kind of hoping they might shake things up a bit more. While I get why they’re keeping those, there’s a lot of buzz around the newer additions like “Chaotic” and “TMNT." Seems like they’re aiming to capture the slightly older demographics as well.

User5:
@User4 Yeah, definitely seems like they’re positioning themselves for the older crowds with those action-oriented programs. But it’s good to see a balance. Keeping programs like “Will & Dewitt” means they still value their youngest viewers. I’m just relieved they haven’t messed with the early morning slots much; my kids love starting their day with those shows.

User2:
Totally, @User5. It’s a smart move on CW4Kids’ part to hold onto the shows that anchor the schedule. It gives stability, which is essential for building a loyal viewer base. Just wish they’d communicate these changes a bit clearer ahead of time!

User3:
Absolutely, better communication would be appreciated. I always have to scramble to update my DVR settings! How do they expect busy parents to keep up without a heads-up? Anyway, glad we have this forum to exchange info and keep each other in the loop.

Thread: CW4Kids Programming Changes - Recommendations for Johnny Test Fans?

—

User6:
Hey everyone, long-time listener, first time caller here. 😂 With Johnny Test shifting in the schedule, any ideas about what CW4Kids is positioning as the next go-to show for fans of Johnny? My kiddo loved the mix of action and humor in Johnny Test and we’re looking for something similar.

User1:
Welcome to the discussion, @User6! The recent shakeup has left a few of us scratching our heads too, but I think for fans of Johnny Test, the closest in terms of vibe might be “The Spectacular Spider-Man.” It has a good blend of action, humor, and youthful energy that Johnny fans might really enjoy.

User7:
I second what @User1 mentioned. Also, you might want to check out “Chaotic” as well. It’s one of the shows they’re really pushing this season, especially on the action front. While it’s a bit more serious compared to Johnny Test, it has that engaging, dynamic quality that might appeal to fans looking for excitement in their cartoons.

User8:
Don’t forget “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT)” as well! It’s another great option, bringing in a mix of martial arts, adventure, and some light-hearted moments. I think it captures some of that playful, adventurous spirit Johnny Test had, plus who doesn’t love the Turtles?

User6:
Thanks for the suggestions! “The Spectacular Spider-Man” does sound like a hit in our house, and I had my eye on “TMNT” too. Not sure about “Chaotic,” but we might give it a try. How’s the humor in “Chaotic”? Is it similar to what we’re used to?

User2:
@User6, “Chaotic” might lean a bit more on the action and fantasy side than outright humor. But it does have its moments! The dynamics between characters can be pretty entertaining. Might not be exactly like Johnny, but definitely worth giving a shot to see if it clicks with your family.

User3:
Absolutely, and one of the great things about these forum recommendations, @User69, is that you get a sense of what might click before tuning in. Also, maybe keep an eye on how they rejig their schedule in the next few months. They sometimes bring back fan favorites or adjust based on viewer feedback!

User6:
Great advice, everyone! Looks like we have some experimenting to do with the TV schedule next Saturday. Thanks for all the help! This community is awesome for navigating these changes. 🙂

Thread: New “Furry Friends” Ads during Skunk Fu and Tom & Jerry Tales - What’s the New Show?

—

User9:
Did anyone else catch those new ads during Skunk Fu and Tom & Jerry Tales this weekend? They teased “new furry friends” coming to our screens. Any idea what this new show could be?

User10:
Yes, I saw it! They’re kind of keeping it mysterious with just the “furriness” highlighted. But my neighbor who works in broadcasting mentioned it’s a 4Kids dub of the international show Smeshariki. It’s originally Russian if I’m not wrong, but looks incredibly cute and funny!

User11:
Smeshariki, huh? Interesting choice. I read about this show once; it’s full of round, bubbly animal characters with really unique personalities. Looks like a perfect fit for the “furry friends” hint. Does anyone know what the English title will be under 4Kids?

User9:
That’s some neat insight, @User10! Smeshariki does sound like a charming addition. The original has a big following for its educational yet fun content. Wonder how 4Kids will handle the adaptation though, given their history with localizations.

User2:
I got curious and looked up some clips online—these characters are adorable! Each episode is like a little moral story, and I think they decided to call it “GoGoRiki” in the 4Kids version. It seems aimed slightly younger but should fit well with the Skunk Fu! and Tom & Jerry Tales audience.

User12:
“GoGoRiki” sounds like a blast from the past name-wise, doesn’t it? I did notice the ads were quite vibrant. My kids were glued to the screen. 4Kids usually does a good job with these dubs, adding a local flavor while keeping the fun aspects intact. Can’t wait to see how it goes!

User9:
Definitely! Between the ongoing shows and new stuff like “GoGoRiki,” CW4Kids is really sprucing up its lineup. It’s refreshing to see them include diverse animations from around the globe. Really diversifies Saturday mornings!

User10:
Absolutely, @User9. The diversity in shows is a big plus. It’s important for kids to see and learn about different storytelling styles and characters. Plus, the fun and learning Smeshariki brings might be just what we need more of.

User11:
Thanks for sharing, folks! I’ll keep an eye out for “GoGoRiki” and point it out to my little ones. The sneak peeks in the ads look fun, so I’m hopeful it’ll be another hit for the channel. Here’s to more “furry friends” and engaging content!

Thread: CW4Kids Fall Programming Updates - What’s Staying and What’s New?

—

User13:
Heads up, folks! Just got the sneak peek of the CW4Kids Fall lineup from a friend in the industry. It seems only two Kids WB shows are definitely staying: “The Spectacular Spider-Man” is one of them. Anybody have insight on what else is sticking around or being replaced?

User14:
Thanks for the update @User13! I’ve heard that aside from “The Spectacular Spider-Man,” only “Tom & Jerry Tales” is locked in for the Fall. But there’s a batch of new shows on the horizon. Looks like they’re refreshing the lineup quite a bit.

User15:
I actually got a list! So for the new shows, we’re getting:
- “Dinosaur King”: Seems like an action-adventure type focusing on dinosaurs.
- “Sonic X”: Returning to the lineup but in a new time slot, for the dedicated Sonic fans.
- “Gogoriki”: After its summer teaser ads, it’s officially joining the Fall schedule.

Sadly, it looks like “Johnny Test,” “Magi-Nation,” and “Skunk Fu!” aren’t coming back. Seems they want to freshen things up with more action-oriented programming.

User16:
Wow, “Johnny Test” not returning is a shocker. My kids loved that one. “Dinosaur King” sounds intriguing though. They love dinosaurs, so that should be interesting. Thanks for the breakdown, @User15!

User17:
Sad about “Skunk JU!”—it was a nice, lighter addition to the morning mix. But “Sonic X” coming back is great news! It’s been a favorite in our house for years. And with “The Spectacular Spider-Man” staying, at least there’s some continuity.

User14:
Yeah, it seems like a strategic move to appeal to different viewer interests this Fall. “Dinosaur King” and “Sonic X” are definitely geared towards ramping up the excitement levels. Plus, “Gogoriki” should fill some of that whimsy that “Skunk Fu!” left behind.

User13:
Interesting shifts. Looks like CW4Kids is aiming to capture a broader audience with these changes. Going to miss some of the old shows, but always good to see fresh content. Thanks for the updates, everyone!

Thread: Alternatives for Johnny Test and Skunk Fu! Fans This Fall?

—

User18:
With Johnny Test and Skunk Fu! not returning this Fall, does anyone know what CW4Kids is pushing as alternatives for fans of these shows? My kids are bummed, and we’re looking for something that might fill that gap.

User19:
I feel you, @User18. From what I’ve gathered, for the Johnny Test fans, the line-up includes “Dinosaur King,” which seems to deliver on the action and adventure front, somewhat similar to the high-energy antics in Johnny Test. Meanwhile, “Gogoriki,” being more lighthearted and whimsical, might appeal to the younger audience that enjoyed Skunk Fu!'s humor.

User20:
Definitely agree on “Dinosaur King” for the Johnny Test crowd. Also, don’t overlook the return of “Sonic X”; it has that vibrant energy and fun that Johnny Test fans might really enjoy. For those who liked the charm and silliness of Skunk Fu!, “Gogoriki” seems like a solid choice as @User19 mentioned.

User21:
Thanks! “Dinosaur King” does sound promising. And giving “Sonic X” another run seems natural for the fast-paced action lovers. Glad to hear there are viable alternatives.

User22:
Switching topics slightly, but can we just appreciate that “The Spectacular Spider-Man” is staying? That’s the one show they’d have to be absolutely high to remove. It’s practically a pillar of the CW4Kids lineup at this point!

User23:
Absolutely, @User22. “The Specticular Spider-Man” brings in the consistent ratings and has a solid fan base across various age groups. It’s one of those shows that manages to blend action, character development, and storytelling so well. Removing it would have been a disaster!

User18:
This has been super helpful, everyone. Seems like there’s still plenty to be excited about this Fall. I’ll definitely encourage my kids to give “Dinosaur King” and “Gogoriki” a try. Maybe we’ll rediscover “Sonic X” as well. Here’s hoping these shows can win over our little Saturday morning TV watchers!

Thread: Reflecting on Fall Lineup Changes and Predictable Choices?

—

User24:
Honestly, “The Spectacular Spider-Man” staying was a given. But when it came down to deciding between Johnny Test (JT), Skunk Fu! (SF), or Tom & Jerry Tales (T&JT), I think most of us knew what direction they’d lean towards.

User25:
Absolutely, @User24. It was fairly predictable that T&JT would stay. It’s a classic that appeals to multiple generations. As much as I like JT and SF for their unique flavors, Tom & Jerry has that timeless appeal which just can’t be matched.

User26:
True, Tom & Jerry Tales was almost a shoo-in. It’s kind of like the safety net for the network; it always pulls in viewers. As much as I enjoyed the zany energy of Johnny Test and the quirky humor of Skunk Fu!, you really can’t compete with such an iconic series as Tom & Jerry.

User27:
It’s all about wider audience appeal, isn’t it? T&JT has that universal charm that’s hard to top. Meanwhile, The Spectacular Spider-Man not only captures the younger crowd but also pulls in older viewers who appreciate a well-done superhero narrative. Smart moves for maximizing viewership.

User28:
Exactly, and while it’s a shame to see newer or less mainstream shows like Johnny Test and Skunk Fu! being phased out, it’s the classic and broadly appealing ones that often provide the backbone for these networks. Maybe we’ll see reboots or similar shows in the future that try to recapture some of that JT and SF magic.

User24:
Yeah, fingers crossed for that. It’s always a balance of business and creativity in television. Still, the Fall lineup does look promising with the mix of the old and new. Guess it’s just the reality of the industry—some favorites stay, and new adventures begin!

Thread: New CW4Kids Fall Schedule and Brand Refresh!

—

User29:
Alright, folks, I’ve just caught wind of the finalized CW4Kids Fall schedule, along with some chatter about a brand refresh that seems quite intriguing. Here’s what the Saturday morning lineup looks like:

### CW4Kids Fall Schedule
07:00 AM - Will & Dewitt
07:30 AM - Dinosaur King
08:00 AM - Sonic X
08:30 AM - Gogoriki
09:00 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales
09:30 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales
10:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
11:00 AM - Chaotic
11:30 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

About the rebranding: It sounds like the new aesthetic will be quite modern and interactive. I think the new style is going to be reminiscent of the Sneak Peek format, similar to the way promos are presented in online video players. Moreover, it seems the background for these promos will mirror the same style as the 4Kids website. Incidentally, this would explain why the new logo scuttlebutt is that it will be labeled “Sign On…” — possibly suggesting a more dynamic, engaging media presence.

User30:
This lineup looks solid! The mix of classics with the new additions could really work. As for the branding news, “Sign On…” sounds like a smart, digitally focused repositioning. It seems geared towards making CW4Kids not just a TV destination but a more interactive digital experience. Clever in attracting today’s tech-savive young viewers!

User31:
I’m particularly excited about the inclusion of Dinosaur King and the return of Sonic X. It feels like CW4Kids is revitalizing their offerings quite nicely. The whole “Sign On…” concept for branding could really freshen up the look and feel of the station. Here’s hoping the execution meets the expectations this stylish rebrand is setting up.

User32:
Do we have any more details on what “Sign On…” entails? If they’re moving towards a style that mimics an online video player, it could suggest more interactivity or perhaps an integration with online platforms where kids can watch episodes or engage with content beyond the TV screen.

User33:
The branding shift is an interesting move. It’d be great if they start incorporating QR codes or interactive elements during shows that lead to exclusive content or interactive experiences online. It seems they’re really pushing to blur the lines between television and digital streaming.

User29:
Great points, everyone! As of now, details about the full extent of what “Sign On…” entails are scant, but the focus is definitely leaning towards an enhanced digital interaction. It’ll also be interesting to see if this initiates any changes in program interactivity or complementary online content. Either way, the Fall season is shaping up to be an interesting one with both the schedule and these strategic shifts.
