Dentist: A dentist notices a girl has broken teeth, fixes them with a drill, turning them normal (and looking like the KGW logo)
Jack in the Box: 2 funny creatures pop out of a jack in the box, they get tangled and the boxes fall over, forming the logo
Slapstick Bunny: A bunny repeatedly bashes itself with a mallet in a squash and stretch manner (squishing then reverting to normal instantly), This gets faster untill it turns into the logo, (with the iconic dizzy/birds flying over head gag thrown in for good measure)
Parachute: 2 skydiving daredevil’s parachute forms the logo (one of the daredevils fall to the ground, the other lands perfectly)
Transformers: 2 fighting mech robots turn into the logo
Moon: A man on the moon plants seeds, hoping for trees, but gets the logo instead
Cliff: 2 flying jets fly past a cliff with the logo carved into it
Balloons: 2 monkeys bounce on a inflater, behind then a baloon with the logo inflates and bursts, leaving them humiliated

Forum Thread: Launch Day Discussion of The ND4Kids Network

User123: It's finally here! The ND4Kids network launched today, and I've been enjoying some of my favorite shows back-to-back. It feels almost nostalgic with the familiar Kids'GW branding.

CartoonFanatic: Yes! The bumpers are a nice touch too. I love the slapstick bunny one; it's such a classic squash-and-stretch gag. But has anyone else noticed that the logo's changed, yet the overall feel is still the same?

RetroKid: I totally noticed that too! The Arrows era vibe is absolutely there with those bumpers and promos. But yeah, it has that fresh new logo. I have a feeling they might be saving a complete rebranding for when 4Kids takes over later this year.

MagiFan09: Great call, RetroKid. And speaking of changes, I heard TMNT 2012 joins the lineup on June 22. Such an awesome addition! Can't wait to see those episodes. The combo of those classic shows plus the updated ones like Johnny Test makes for such a diverse lineup.

TofuEnthusiast: Agreed with everyone here. It's a great mix of educational shows like "Starship" and adventurous ones like "World of Quest." I must say, "The Tofus" at 8:00 is perfect for a morning energy boost, if you like nature and eco-friendly topics, haha!

JohnnyTestFanatic: So true! And "Johnny Test" is as hilarious as ever. The lineup has a nice balance, and I'm definitely tuning in for "Viewtiful Joe."

Moonlander: Did anyone notice the moon bumper? I laughed so hard when the seeds sprouted the logo instead of trees. Honestly, those bumpers have been really creative. I wonder if those will evolve alongside the rebrand.

QuestCompleted: I think they will. With 4Kids taking control, they'll likely put their spin on everything. It'll be interesting to see how the branding evolves by fall. But for now, pretty impressed with what they're offering!

User123: Agreed, QuestCompleted! Let's enjoy the nostalgia while it lasts, though I'm also curious to see what new changes 4Kids will bring. Here's to some great summer mornings with ND4Kids!

Write a follow up also joining on the 22 is Yu Gi Oh GX and Chaotic

Forum Thread: Mid-June Programming Update for The ND4Kids Network

User123: Back with some exciting updates, everyone! I just saw the announcement that alongside TMNT 2012, both Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Chaotic are joining the ND4Kids lineup on June 22. This is going to make Saturday mornings even more epic!

CardDuelist89: No way! Yu-Gi-Oh! GX? That's such a cool addition. I've missed watching Jaden and the rest of the duel academy in action. Those card battles were so intense!

ChaoticChallenger: And Chaotic too? Wow, they're really bringing in some fantastic shows. I remember getting hooked on the strategic battles between the tribes. I can't wait to dive back into that universe.

CartoonFanatic: This lineup just keeps getting better and better! Combining TMNT 2012's action with the strategic duels of both Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Chaotic is a brilliant move. There's something for every kind of fan.

RetroKid: Agreed! This feels like a classic revival for fans of action and card game anime. ND4Kids is shaping up to have a killer summer lineup, and I hope it attracts both old fans and new viewers.

MagiFan09: Absolutely! With these additions, ND4Kids is catering to our nostalgia while introducing the younger audience to these exciting series. I think this strategy will definitely pay off.

TofuEnthusiast: I'm thrilled about the variety they're bringing. Whether it's the eco-adventures in "The Tofus" or the high-stakes card duels in "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX," there's an appealing mix in their programming.

JohnnyTestFanatic: It'll be interesting to see how they slot these new shows into the current lineup. I guess it'll be back-to-back action now, with something exciting in every time slot.

Moonlander: With all these changes, I'm definitely staying tuned in! Hope they keep the creative bumpers coming, too. They make such a fun transition between all these awesome shows.

QuestCompleted: Yes! This feels like ND4Kids is gearing up for something big. If this is how they keep things fresh before 4Kids fully takes over, I can't imagine what the network will look like in the fall!

User123: Same here, QuestCompleted. These new additions feel like a taste of things to come. For now, I'm just excited to kick off my weekends with some top-tier programming. Bring on June 22!

Forum Thread: Fall Schedule Speculations for ND4Kids Network

User123: Hey everyone, with the current lineup packed with great shows, I'm super curious about what ND4Kids has planned for the fall. We already know that Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Viva Piñata, and Kikoriki are coming. Does anyone have more info on other shows we might see?

CartoonFanatic: I'm excited about VRAINS and Rise of TMNT, but I'd love to know what else is coming! Maybe we'll get some more revivals of classic shows? Anyone heard anything?

RetroKid: I haven't heard anything concrete yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they try bringing back something like Winx Club. It'd fit well with the mix of adventurous and magical themes they seem to be going for.

MagiFan09: I’d bet we might see something new from the Pokémon franchise too. They often roll out new series or movies around that time. Anyone else think the same?

TofuEnthusiast: Pokémon would make sense! Also, I wonder if they're planning to include any educational content in the fall, like a new E/I show to keep that aspect of their lineup.

JohnnyTestFanatic: That would be great! My guess is we might see some new adventure series, similar to Hotnews.com, that resonates well with teens. Networks often try to diversify their content to keep things fresh.

Moonlander: Totally. And ND4Kids seems to know what they're doing by blending nostalgia with new ideas. Maybe we'll get something unexpected – like an original series that could become the next big thing.

QuestCompleted: I'm hoping for more anime-style shows! They seem to have a good response to the ones currently airing, and if they introduce new pieces similar to Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh!, it could draw a substantial audience.

User123: I agree, QuestCompleted. Sounds like a solid strategy. The mix they have now is excellent, and I'm sure whatever they're planning for fall will follow suit. Let’s keep our ears open for more news—anything could happen!

CartoonFanatic: Absolutely! It's so exciting to speculate. Let’s continue to share any tidbits of information as we hear them. Who knows, this fall might be the best lineup yet!

Forum Thread: Saying Goodbye to Some ND4Kids Favorites

User123: Hey everyone, while I'm super pumped about the new fall lineup for ND4Kids, I'm a bit bummed that some of our favorite shows didn't make the cut. Anyone else feeling the same way?

CartoonFanatic: Absolutely, User123. I'm going to miss "Hotnews.com" — I thought their quirky take on teen journalism was really fun and engaging. It's a shame they didn't make it into the fall lineup.

RetroKid: I'm with you, CartoonFanatic. And I was really hoping to see "The Tofus" stick around. It was light-hearted and had that eco-friendly theme, which was pretty refreshing. Maybe it’ll return someday.

MagiFan09: Totally. Magi-Nation was another one I hoped would continue. Tony and the Moonlands had so much more story potential. It always felt like every episode added a magical touch to Saturday mornings.

TofuEnthusiast: I feel you, MagiFan09. And speaking of missing shows, anyone else going to miss "Johnny Test"? That show was hilarious and always had a way of catching me off guard with its humor!

JohnnyTestFanatic: Definitely, TofuEnthusiast. It's been a staple for a while. Hoped it would still be there for our occasional goofy mornings. Fingers crossed for a comeback in future seasons!

Moonlander: And "Tom and Jerry Tales" too! Their classic chase scenes were perfect for some lighthearted fun. It’s sad to see it leave the current schedule.

QuestCompleted: It’s tough to say goodbye to these shows, but I’m excited for what’s coming. Here’s hoping ND4Kids has some great surprises in store for us in the future, maybe with some return appearances!

User123: Agreed, QuestCompleted! While I'll definitely miss some of our beloved shows, I'm grateful for the fun times and the memories they created. Let's stay hopeful and keep our fingers crossed for their return!

CartoonFanatic: Couldn't have said it better! Who knows, maybe these favorites will come back around — either through reruns or special events. In the meantime, bring on the new adventures!


Write a tweet with a show that surprisingly stayed instead of them


Tweet: 🤔 Surprise, surprise! While we bid farewell to a few beloved shows, it looks like #Kikoriki is sticking around in the ND4Kids fall lineup! 🎈 Excited to see what whimsical adventures await these lovable characters. What do you think about this unexpected holdover? #ND4Kids #FallLineup
