CartoonCritic101: Wow, it’s really a whole new playground! Feels like they set Kids WB on fire and decided to build it from the ground up. Some of the shows are carrying over but that introduction of Huntik and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s really signals a change, huh?

RetroToonLover: Definitely feels like the end of an era. Some of those Kids WB classics are staples, but CW4Kids looks like it’s trying to appeal to an even broader audience. Not sure how I feel about losing some of the familiarity though.

ComicKid123: I’m all for the fresh lineup! Needed some new blood in there. But, will definitely miss the old Kids WB vibes on my Saturday mornings. CW4Kids has big shoes to fill.

SpiderFan09: The double dose of The Spectacular Spider-Man is intriguing. Glad it survived the transition! Hopefully, this is a sign of good things and solid adaptations coming our way with the new lineup.

TurtlePower98: As a huge TMNT fan, really excited to see “Back to the Sewer” making it into the lineup. It’s always great to see how each new iteration tries to tell the turtle’s tale. Crossing fingers it lives up to expectations.

OldSchoolCartoons: I’m a bit nostalgic, so seeing major shuffles always makes me uneasy. But progress is inevitable, right? Who knows? This might turn out to be a golden era for Saturday morning cartoons again.

Moderator: Remember folks, while it’s sad to see the old go, let’s give CW4Kids a chance. New shows, new adventures! Keep the discussions friendly and let’s all look forward to next Saturday!

TurnerFollower: Does anyone know why such a drastic shuffle, though? Ratings? Trends? It feels sudden, even if it’s exciting.

AnimeFan88: I read somewhere that it’s a mix of ratings and trying to keep up with competitor networks. Plus, the shift towards more action-oriented and fantasy series might be an attempt to captivate the older kids’ demographic that’s been leaning more towards online content lately.

RetroToonLover: Good points all around. Change is daunting but often necessary. Here’s to hoping the new lineup ushers in as many good memories as Kids WB did for us. Let’s keep this thread updated with reviews once CW4Kids kicks off! Write a convo where they start running ads featuring some characters that transitioned over trying to get used to the CW4Kids, lack of Johnny , etc
