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: The CW4Kids

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

Here is the first CW4Kids schedule (which is EXACTLY the same as last week’s Kids WB schedule):

07:00 AM Will & Dewitt
07:30 AM Magi-Nation
08:00 AM Skunk Fu!
08:30 AM Tom & Jerry Tales
09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man
09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:00 AM My Goldfish is Evil
10:30 AM World of Quest

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!

Looks like a blend of action, classic cartoons, and some fresh shows. What does everyone think of the new block of programming from morning till noon?. Write a convo noting the 4 shows removed, incidentally one new show was heavily pushed during the split screen credits of Johnny Test last week
