Kids WB schedules 2005-2006

They were transformed into babies, now they are futuristic heroes as Kids' WB! leads off its upcoming season with LOONATICS, featuring descendants of legendary Looney Tunes characters upholding justice and hopefully the networks high ratings. The new fall schedule for the 2005-2006 television season featuring three new series and four returning hits, striving to broaden audience appeal with dual-gender programs was announced today (Feb. 16, 2005) by David Janollari, president, entertainment, The WB and Kids WB!, and Betsy McGowen, svp/gm, Kids' WB!, speaking to advertisers and media during the Kids WB! upfront sales presentation in New York City.

Warner Bros. Animation has reimagined descendants of some of the most beloved animated characters in history Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Road Runner, Lola Bunny, Tasmanian Devil and Wile E. Coyote as superheroes several hundred years in the future endowed with individual powers and unique abilities. These new Looney characters band together to create a formidable team and face-off against the evils of Acmetropolis.

LOONATICS (working title) along with two new series, JOHNNY TEST and COCONUT FRED'S FRUIT SALAD ISLAND, join returning powerhouse hits YU-GI-OH! with season five and all-new dueling adventures; the next evolution of the top-rated Pokémon franchise with season eight and 52 original episodes; the Emmy-nominated XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN has 13 action-packed episodes of the third season; and the Caped Crusader uncovers new villains and unmasks a new partner-in-crime Batgirl as Kids WB! brings on THE BATMAN.

COCONUT FRED'S FRUIT SALAD ISLAND features a tiny tropical haven for living, breathing bananas, melons, mangos, lemons and other fruit who have made it their home with a wacky, weird and wild coconut named Fred. A ball of endless energy, filled with a big heart and sweet, sloshy milk, Fred is an eternal optimist who pursues his dreams. As Fred contemplates his next big idea, whatever he thinks about actually happens with a little help from the creative show team at WBA.

JOHNNY TEST chronicles the adventures of a fearless 11-year-old boy, his genetically engineered super dog, Dukey and his 13-year-old super genius scientist twin sisters, Susan and Mary, who use Johnny as their guinea pig for their out-of-this-world scientific experiments. Johnny and his souped-up super mutt are obsessed with pushing the limits speed limits, time limits, physical limits, you name it. 

COSMIC WANDERERS follows galactic explorer Ellie, her scientist friend Dr. Wyatt, a blue slime rabbit Fluff and his sister Flo (who is pink), and the ridiculed King Celestial as they explore the galaxy, finding new planets and other stuff

VIEWTIFUL JOE follows Joe, an average guy, who is given superpowers to battle enemies in Movie Land and rescue his girlfriend Silvia.

LAZYTOWN follows Stephanie, our main character, is a new arrival in LazyTown. She quickly befriends the other kids (all puppets), but learns that nobody in LazyTown plays outside or does sports. This is just fine for Robbie Rotten, the town's resident Harmless Villain, who likes nothing more than to spend every day in his lair under LazyTown eating cake, sleeping and generally doing nothing at all.

Enter Sportacus, an incredibly athletic superhero, who encourages all the kids to eat healthily and play outside, disturbing poor Robbie's sleep. So Once an Episode, Robbie comes up with a scheme to make LazyTown lazy again, usually by getting rid of Sportacus or somehow tricking the kids (or sometimes just kidnapping them), which he often does by dressing up in ridiculous outfits. Then Sportacus does a billion backflips and saves them all!

DA BOOM CREW: Four foster kids (Justin, Nate, Jubei and Ricki) create a video game about heroes going up against space alien terrorists. Then a portal appears and pulls them into a dimension which is just like the world in their game. They embark on a quest to find their missing video game cartridges and stop the sadistic extraterrestrial emperor Zorch from taking control of this intergalactic dimension

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: A continuation of the Justice League animated series finds the original members of the team joined in their battle against crime and evil by dozens of other heroes from the DC comics universe.

In a very short time, Kids WB! has become the most dominant broadcaster in the kids landscape, not just in Saturday morning primetime, but also as the only dedicated broadcaster Mondays through Fridays, said Janollari. Creating a unique destination powered by a distinct, branded environment that kids embrace in a huge way, our goal is to make the Kids WB! viewers of today our primetime program viewers of tomorrow.

Since fall 2000, Kids' WB! has upheld its dominant post as the #1 broadcast network for kids in all key demographics and is in the midst of capturing its 14th consecutive sweep win this month as the #1 Saturday morning broadcast network. Season-to-date for the 2004-2005 season, Kids' WB! continues to be the broadcast leader in each of the eight half-hours the network programs on Saturday mornings and in all the key demographics of kids 2-11, kids 6-11, boys 2-11, boys 6-11 and tweens 9-14.

Thread Title: The Downfall of MP4ORCE: Beyond Real

User1: AnimationFan2003
March 14, 2007
So, I just saw the news that MP4ORCE is officially done as of April 7! Honestly, I don't think anyone will miss it. It always felt like a cheap rip-off of Code Lyoko. What do you guys think? Was it time for it to go, or did it have potential?

User2: CartoonNerd88
March 14, 2007
I completely agree! The concept seemed so recycled. I mean, kids transforming into video game avatars? We've seen that done way better in Code Lyoko! Plus, the characters were kind of flat and uninteresting. I think it’s better to let it die and give something fresh a chance.

User3: RetroToonGuru
March 14, 2007
I never got into MP4ORCE either. They tried to appeal to the whole gaming trend, but it felt forced. I think Kids WB! has a lot of stronger contenders to focus on. It's sad that they used up valuable slot time for this show.

User4: AnimaniacFanatic
March 14, 2007
Exactly! I’d much rather see more of Viewtiful Joe or Xiaolin Showdown! They’ve got actual character development and interesting plots. MP4ORCE just felt like a blend of cliches without anything original.

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic
March 14, 2007
I dunno, I kind of liked it for its action scenes. But you make a good point. The story really didn't hold up against Code Lyoko. Maybe they could have done better if they spent more time developing the characters?

User6: ToonWarrior99
March 14, 2007
I think that's the crux of the issue. The show had potential, but the execution was poorly handled. And honestly, most of us were just waiting for it to be replaced by something more interesting. Thank goodness Kids WB! recognizes when something is not working!

User7: FutureTVCritic
March 14, 2007
Yeah, and with Kids WB! focusing on renewals for shows that are doing well, it’s about time they cut the losses and ditched the weaker shows. Hopefully, whatever comes next can fill the time slot with something as epic as Legion of Super Heroes!

User1: AnimationFan2003
March 14, 2007
I can’t wait to see what they bring in next! Let’s just hope it avoids the pitfalls of MP4ORCE. Perhaps they could bring back some older beloved characters or experiment with new concepts that we haven’t seen yet!

User3: RetroToonGuru
March 14, 2007
Yes! New ideas that bring back that classic Kids WB! touch while remaining relevant. I think a revival of something like Static Shock could work too. The show's themes resonate even more now!

User4: AnimaniacFanatic
March 14, 2007
Or even a crossover! Imagine all the characters from different shows teaming up! But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Either way, here’s to hoping for better days ahead without MP4ORCE!

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic
March 14, 2007
Cheers to that! Let's keep our fingers crossed for some actual quality programming!

User3: RetroToonGuru
April 1, 2007
Wow, that looks like a solid lineup! No more MP4ORCE means we get more time for Cosmic Wanderers and Viewtiful Joe! I’m all in for that! Shaggy and Scooby are always a fun watch too.

User4: AnimaniacFanatic
April 1, 2007
I’m excited to see more of Legion of Super Heroes! The more episodes we get, the more we can see how Superman interacts with different heroes. Tbh, it’s probably one of the most original shows they have right now.

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic
April 1, 2007
I agree! Plus, The Batman has been great this season. With Robin in the mix, I’m looking forward to how the dynamics change. And can we talk about Cosmic Wanderers? I think it’s going to be a fun addition!

User6: FutureTVCritic
April 1, 2007
Seems like Kids WB! is really putting a focus on variety this season—mixing new stuff with legacy favorites like Tom and Jerry. I hope Xiaolin Showdown has more of its classic showdowns, maybe they'll revisit some of the older artifacts.

User7: CartoonNerd88
April 1, 2007
Definitely! And I'm glad they're doubling down on family-friendly content with shows like Krypto and Baby Looney Tunes. I think families will appreciate having options for kids of all ages.

User1: AnimationFan2003
April 1, 2007
Absolutely! It feels more balanced without MP4ORCE dragging down the lineup. I can’t wait to see how the new schedule impacts ratings too! Let’s keep discussing as we see how the new episodes play out. Hopefully, they’ll continue to deliver some fresh and entertaining content!

User3: RetroToonGuru
April 1, 2007
Looking forward to it! Schedule shift or not, let’s hope the creativity flows. Here’s to a new era for Kids WB!

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic

Indeed! Here’s to better shows and engaging stories! I’ll be tuning in!

I never thought I’d see Fluff again! He was so cute (and slimy)! I loved his character in Cosmic Wanderers! There’s just something about a blue slime rabbit that makes me smile. His antics always added a fun little touch to the show. I’m really glad they’re giving him more screen time! Can’t wait to see what kind of mischief he’ll get into next! Anyone else a fan of Fluff?

User6: FutureTVCritic
April 2, 2007
I totally agree, Fluff is adorable! His slimy charm makes him so unique among the other characters. I love how he contrasts with Ellie and Dr. Wyatt. I hope he gets some hilarious moments in the new episodes!

User3: RetroToonGuru
April 2, 2007
Fluff is a gem! Can’t wait to see his dynamics with the other characters again. Plus, he just makes me laugh every time he flops around. I think he’ll be a highlight of Cosmic Wanderers for sure!

User1: AnimationFan2003
April 2, 2007
Fluff definitely brings a lot of humor and charm! It's great that Kids WB! is revisiting beloved characters. Here’s to hoping for many more adorable moments with him!

Just to clarify for everyone, Cosmic Wanderers starts again on April 7, replacing MP4ORCE! I'm so excited to see it back on the air! It's such a fun show, and I can’t wait to see Fluff and the rest of the gang go on new adventures. It’s definitely a step in the right direction for Kids WB!. I think they really realized fans missed some of these characters. Are you all as pumped as I am?

User2: CartoonNerd88

Absolutely! Fluff is back, and so is the whole team! I think this change is going to revitalize the lineup. Cosmic Wanderers has so much potential for great stories and laughs. I can't wait to catch the first episode again!

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic

Yes! It's awesome to get something fresh like this in place of MP4ORCE. Here's hoping they focus on good character development for all the characters, especially Fluff! I love how weird and charming he is!

I totally hear you! This is the kind of change I look forward to. It's time for some new adventures with characters that bring a smile to our faces. Can't wait for April 7!

Write a reply saying March 31's final MP4ORCE had 2 shows advertised in the split screen credits

Hey everyone! I just wanted to mention that during the final episode of MP4ORCE on March 31, they actually had two shows advertised in the split-screen credits! It was kind of interesting to see them hyping up the upcoming lineup while wrapping up the series. I think one was Cosmic Wanderers, but I can’t remember what the other was. Does anyone else recall? It felt like they were letting us know there’s something new on the horizon, and I’m glad they’re moving forward!

User6: FutureTVCritic

I caught that too! It was nice to see the transition being made clear before the end of MP4ORCE. I’m just glad the network is focusing on fresh content instead of dragging out something that wasn’t working. Looking forward to what’s next!

User9: ToonFanatic75
April 4, 2007**
I agree! It was cool to see them preparing us for the changes ahead. It definitely gives me hope that Kids WB! is listening to what the viewers want!

User4: AnimaniacFanatic

Exactly! It was a nice touch. It feels like they really want to keep the momentum going with Cosmic Wanderers and whatever that other show was. I’m eager to find out!

Hey guys, I just double-checked and the two shows advertised during the split-screen credits of the final MP4ORCE episode were Cosmic Wanderers and Viewtiful Joe! It was a nice way to bridge the gap between the shows, and it gets me even more hyped to see both of them back on the air! I think Viewtiful Joe has a lot of potential for epic battles, and with the return of Cosmic Wanderers, we can look forward to Fluff’s quirky antics again! Can’t wait for April 7!

User2: CartoonNerd88
April 5, 2007**
Thanks for the info! That’s awesome! I’m really looking forward to both shows. I hope Viewtiful Joe brings more action-packed episodes as well!

User5: KiddoCartoonCritic

Great to know! I think having those two in rotation will balance out the lineup nicely. Here’s hoping for some awesome new adventures across both shows!

Write a reply with the 2 characters the Wanderers promo was focusing on

I just caught a glimpse of the Cosmic Wanderers promo, and it was primarily focusing on Ellie and Fluff! They had some really cute moments highlighted, showcasing their dynamic as they explore different planets together. I love how Ellie’s adventurous spirit complements Fluff’s adorable, slimy antics. It looks like they’ve kept the humor while also diving into some exciting new adventures! Can’t wait to see what trouble they’ll get into on April 7!

User9: ToonFanatic75
April 6, 2007**
That sounds awesome! I can already picture some hilarious interactions between them. Ellie and Fluff really make a great team, and I hope we get a lot of fun back-and-forth between them in the new season!

User3: RetroToonGuru

I’m so ready for their chemistry to shine! The promo gives me hope for even more character development. Let's see what cosmic craziness they get up to!

User1: AnimationFan2003

Thanks for the update! I love that they’re focusing on those two; they’re such a fun pair. Looking forward to the premiere and seeing how the new adventures unfold!

On May 24 2008, Kids WB becomes the CW4Kids. Write a forum conversation saying Kids' WB dies on May 17, and lists the May 24 CW4Kids schedule, oddly exactly the same as the April 12-May 17 schedule

Forum Title: The End of Kids' WB? What’s Next for Our Saturday Mornings?

Joie commented on April 24 2008:
What’s the news? I just heard from my friend that Kids' WB is ending on May 17. Is it true? 😱

Light Lucario commented on April 28 2008:
Yeah, it’s true! Kids' WB is officially dying on May 17. After that, we transition into CW4Kids on May 24!

Joie commented on April 29 2008:
That’s such a bummer! Kids' WB has brought us so many great shows over the years. What are they replacing it with?

biggdan22 commented on April 29 2008:
So far, all I know is that the schedule for CW4Kids looks exactly like the last Kids' WB schedule we had! It’s almost like nothing’s changing! Here’s what the schedule will look like on May 24:

May 24 CW4Kids Schedule:

06:00 AM Will & Dewitt

Joie commented on April 29 2008:
Same exact shows? That’s... interesting. 😏 I guess it’s a smooth transition for kids who love the current lineup. But still, I can’t believe we’re losing Krypto, The Batman, and all those shows we've loved!

D Dubbs commented on April 29 2008:
I know right? It feels like an era is ending. 🙁 I hope CW4Kids brings some new content soon since it feels like we’re just rebranding.

Light Lucario commented on April 28 2008:
Yeah, I hope they don’t just stick with the same old shows forever. If they are going to be CW4Kids, they should make it fresh with some new material!

judyindisguise commented on April 29 2008:
Hopefully, we hear some announcements about new shows! But I guess it’s nice to see familiar favorites sticking around for a bit longer.

Light Lucario commented on April 29 2008:
Let’s keep our fingers crossed! Whatever happens, we’ll always have our memories of Kids' WB. Let’s keep the discussion going for any updates we get!

4Kids Talkback Thread V3 - A New Era Begins

biggdan22 commented on May 24 2008:
Well, I figured the last thread had enough posts and since a new dawn of 4KidsTV is starting, why not start a new thread for it. And coincidentally on the first day of CW4K!DS
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: CW4K!DS
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.

Sonic_Eclipse commented on May 24 2008:
Well all the bumpers are the same right now, though I do expect it to change wen 4Kids fully takes over in the Fall.

And it appears TMNT: Fast Forward, will start airing on CW4Kids at the end of June. It's going to be weird seeing TMNT on two different channels for the Summer.

Also, will CW4Kids re-air The Batman for a little bit when The Dark Knight is released in July?

CartoonChaos commented on May 24 2008:
I just hope 4Kids doesn't pull The Spectacular Spider-Man off the schedule, that show's good and the only thing I watch on Kids WB! anymore.

veemonjosh commented on May 24 2008:
I just hope 4Kids doesn't pull World of Quest until they can run through the thirteen episodes one more time. I'm starting to really like that show, and I want to record all the episodes before it disappears completely. :sad:

(I'm predicting they will run through World of Quest completely at least one more time, since thirteen weeks would bring it to mid-September, which also looks like when they'll air the final Eon Kid episodes if the current schedule holds up).

biggdan22 commented on May 24 2008:
I could actually see them replacing 1 of the 2 Tom and Jerry Tales over Spectacular Spider-Man. Or maybe they'll surprise us and replace Eon Kid or Jonny Test. I guess it makes since to start Fast Forward in June if the new Ninja Turtles series is truly debuting on The CW 4K!ds this fall.

Sketch commented on May 24 2008:
Actually I think this is a good strategy (assuming they aren't on at the same time). They will probably double slot Fast Forward on CW4kids in order to refresh the current TMNT viewers to lead-up to the new season in Fall. They also will be able to hook some viewers that didn't have 4kidsTV in their area but do have CW4kids. Though admitedly FF may not be good for hooking new viewers compared to the 2003 series on 4kidsTV but in the meantime they play 2003 episodes as a follow-up to the Ninja Tribunal because going from Tribunal to FF probably would feel a bit odd. But if they really are going to skip around then they'll probably hit the highlights of several seasons.

This way all of TMNT before Back to the Sewers gets showcased in some form. I don't know if I could sit through Fast Forward again but I can understand why they put it on CW4kids and had the 2003 series on 4kidsTV. If all goes according to plan TMNT should be able to gain a lot of viewers over the summer and have a strong season in 2008-2009 despite the movie being out of sight and out of mind (which we all know is the real reason FF got a ratings rise and why the Ninja Tribunal did as well as it did).

I'm going to toss my hat in the direction of Tom and Jerry losing a slot as well. But Eon Kid is the weakest show in reruns right now I suppose (but it still has a few episodes it could show before it's over so I hope they at least do that). Spider-Man will keep two slots if it continues to do well in reruns. If not then it'll lose one. Skunk Fu might leave since it's coming to CN but they might keep it around because of Kung-Fu Panda. The 7 hour is going to stay the same I'm sure so I'll take a guess what the rest of the line-up will be when TMNT: FF joins.

judyindisguise commented on May 24 2008:
I'm still watching World of Quest, and it has had its one or two moments, but overall I think it continues to squander its potential. (Writers need to be replaced for sure, and the show's producer as well, for said squandering). I'm thinking it'll finish its initial run, but I'd be surprised if season 2 appears here in the States.

I'm wondering if Skunk Fu is a possible survivor simply because of the upcoming film Kung Fu Panda movie. Maybe the show's creators hope some of that film's possible success will rub off on them?

I can't believe that CWKids won't try to hang onto Tom and Jerry. Personally I don't care for it, but I can see it's a hit with its target audience, so why would CW let it go?

Daxiv commented on May 24 2008:
So... All these changes are so far Cosmetic? Okay that fine, but when are they going to develop their own little graphics.

Also I found it weird to see the logo on the corner of my screen. To me it felt like I was watching it in a different country.

D Dubbs commented on May 24 2008:
4Kids Reveals Another New Show.......

and we get to name it

Joetiful View commented on May 25 2008:
...what is this, 4Kids Jr.?

Daxdiv commented on May 25 2008:
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.

Yes I did vote, and I voted of OHBOH.

Light Lucario commented on May 25 2008:
Yeah, that new show looks pretty weird. I'm surprised that 4Kids would have a show like this since it honestly does look like a preschool show, such as the Mr. Men Show. The choices for the show's name look even weirder. It could be a kind of comedy show, but I don't know. Maybe a trailer for it would make it look/sound more interesting than it is to me right now.

judyindisguise commented on May 25 2008:
Looks like it's a popular Russian childrens show called "Smeshariki" (aka BalloonToons) odd that was not one of the names listed to pick from. It actually looks pretty interesting.

These are the names to choose from:

OHBOHS
ROTATOS
GoGoRiki
KikoRiki
BalloonToons

D Dubbs commented on May 25 2008:
Okay...a few more updates from a recent conference call from 4Kids last week. First, news regarding Chaotic:
#1 TCG in Canada and at Toys 'R' US
Zenith of the Hive is the highest selling product at Wal-Mart
In the top 10 of all impulse buys at Target
Cards being uploaded from 162 countries
#2 TCG in Australia, after only being on the shores for a month
TCG will be available in 900 Best Buy stores in June
TCG is currently available in 15,000 locations, in June they plan to add another 5,000
Certain cards are selling for up to $200 on eBay
25 million cards registered online
Thanks to the alphanumeric coding on Chaotic TCG cards, counterfeiting cards is basically impossible, resulting in more revenue for 4Kids
Chaotic (the TV show) gets an average 2.3 rating with boys 9-14
Other interesting notes:
4Kids extended their license to Yu-Gi-Oh! until 2012
4Kids are trying to regain the rights to market Pokemon, Currently they only have the rights to dub the anime.
4Kids will most likely leave FOX after 2009, since their net loss is about $5 million from the block every year (it costs them $21 million, but they only get $16 million in ad revenue)

PC commented on May 25 2008:
If 4Kids is leaving Fox next year, then who wants to place bets on "The CW4Kids" turning into 4Kids TV by 2010?
Also I assume Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are next to move to CW4Kids, probably replacing Skunk Fu or Skatoony (or maybe even Eon Kid)

Light Lucario commented on May 26 2008:
I wouldn't be surprised if 4Kids did leave Fox by 2009. Based on some rumors that I've heard, it seems like they're putting a lot of their shows in the CW4Kids' lineup. I was thinking that they would keep some of their shows there, like maybe new GX episodes, to at least get something out of it, but I'm just kind of confused about that right now. If they do leave Fox, hopefully another Saturday morning block could start there. That would be better than having repeats of sitcoms or infomercials on Saturday mornings.

Well it's here, as 4Kids begins a new era, as we prepare for fall.
CW4Kids has announced the new schedule beginning on June 21, and people here nailed a lot of the items right on the nose. Gone are Johnny Test, Skunk Fu, Eon Kid, Horrid Henry, Skatoony and World of Quest, which will be taken off the air right after it airs its 13th episode. Joining the block are TMNT Fast Forward, Chaotic, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and The Batman is returning.
06:00 AM - Will & Dewitt
06:30 AM - Magi-Nation
07:00 AM - Monster Allergy
07:30 AM - Spider Riders
08:00 AM - Tom and Jerry Tales
08:30 AM - Blobbit Adventures
09:00 AM - Chaotic
09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:30 AM - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward
11:00 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh GX
11:30 AM - The Batman
12:00 PM - Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl
12:30 PM - Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl

Since that puts the two GX's and Chaotic on at the same time on two different networks, I'm willing to bet that 4KidsTV will also be rearranging their line-up on the same day, probably having GX premieres move to CW

Light Lucario commented on May 29 2008:
Wow. If that's true, then that's just weird. I was so sure that they would have GX premiers on 4KidsTV, even in the fall. You brought up a good point about how changing stations would leave fans, at least ones without Internet access, confused. I also thought that they would keep GX on 4Kids so that two different Yu-Gi-Oh! series wouldn't air on the same channel. I kind of thought that's why CN stopped DM repeats as soon as GX started. They probably also wanted to give GX more attention since it was just started out.

I'm not saying that GX premiers on the CW would be bad thing. It just feels kind of weird because of two different series airing together, as well as how GX changed to yet another channel. Now that I think about it, I don't think that they'll have premiers of GX this fall. I think that they're doing it to warm the audience up to 5D's in their fall schedule. Pretty much like how they're having Fast Forward to ease into the new TMNT season. I would be okay if it was premiers on the CW in the fall, at least once I shake off the weird feeling I'm getting from it.

On another note, it would be kind of cool to see The Batman again. After watching some of the episodes of all of the different Batman series for that paper, as well as that review of the series on the main page of ToonZone, I kind of regretted not getting into the series, especially when I heard that it improved during the course of its run. Besides that, I thought that it would be fun to see it anyway. With that in mind, I should also watch more of that new Spiderman series. I didn't see much of it during the last week of Kids' WB, but I did like what I saw. Also kinda dissapointed Pokemon isn't airing at the time it used to air on Kids' WB,

veemonjosh commented on May 29 2008:
Well, so much for hoping to tape all of World of Quest before it disappeared...:crying:

*goes onto Shout Factory forums to request that they get the DVD rights*

Also, Spidey + TMNT in the same hour = BEST HOUR ON TELEVISION.

biggdan22 commented on May 29 2008:
You know, most of the changes actually make sense. They are bringing back The Batman no doubt to help promote The Dark Knight movie. Bringing Chaotic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and TMNT: Fast Forward over basically confirms the suspicion that all four are going to be on The CW 4Kids this fall, so start advertising the station they will be on now. We know that TMNT, Chaotic and Pokemon will be reruns, but the big question remains will GX be premieres or reruns? 

D Dubbs commented on May 29 2008:
Yeah...and its kinda weird that GX and Chaotic are on at the same time on both networks...

Hahaha, 4Kids is making sure that kids have to watch their shows. They don't have any other options (unless you count E/I programming or Disney Channel reruns).

I'm a little sorry about World of Quest being dropped, because it had potential. It's about the only thing on the old WB I made a point of watching (hoping a miracle would happen and it would improve. Like I've said before, hope is like a drug to me.) Supposedly Canada will be getting 26 eps of the show. Maybe some of them will eventually find their way to the States, who knows. Ah well. Another series down the drain...

Joie commented on May 30 2008:
Wait, hold up! Did you just say that Johnny Test is getting the boot, but they're keeping Monster Allergy? 🤔 I never expected that! I thought Johnny was one of their more popular shows with all the crazy antics. How did Monster Allergy make the cut? It felt like it was kind of overshadowed by other series! I mean, don't get me wrong—it's a unique concept and all, but it's interesting to see what the network considers worth keeping. What do you guys think?

Joetiful View commented on May 30 2008:
Honestly, it’s a bit surprising to see Monster Allergy sticking around while they’re dropping Johnny Test. I figured Johnny had more of a following with all the action and humor. 😅 It makes me wonder if they’re trying to make room for something bigger with GX since it feels like a placeholder for 5Ds, which we know is coming soon. Since TMNT: Back to the Sewers, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension, and Smeshariki are already confirmed for the fall, maybe GX is just there to bridge the gap until they launch 5Ds!

Could it be that they plan to phase out some of the older shows in favor of all this fresh content? It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The strategy might actually work if it keeps the audience engaged until all the new stuff rolls out! What do you all think? 🤔

judyindisguise commented on May 30 2008:
Ehh, but I just saw this week's. Lord Spite has to be the lamest villian ever, even for a comic villian. My God, Drakken of Kim Possible was far better, because he had depth, and Shego, and he was occasionally really funny. (Like in the "Sick Day" episode, and the one where he kept trying to open that jar of gherkins). If a show about a quest has such an incompetent villian, then where's the tension? Or the drama that's at least occasionally needed to give the heroes' struggle any oomph? And again, the characters don't relate to each other very well, or in a very entertaining way. Too bad. Once again an episode of World of Quest gets buried in lame "jokes" and nothing of consequence. Only good moment was when Nestor kept his word. But overall, the quest itself isn't involving enough to hold viewer interest, and the jokes aren't funny enough to make up for that lack. Oh, and I take back the good things I said about Quest in the beginning. He's a bore when he's not damn annoying. I actually think the show would be better without him.

Yeah, this show needs to go bye-bye. I'd rather it were cancelled than continue to waste it's potential

Sketch commented on May 30 2008:
Ah, it's a pitty The Batman isn't right after Turtles. They broke a good 2 hours of comic hero action. Ah well...

I actually didn't think they'd go with Batman over JT but I'm glad I was wrong about that. It is obviously because of the movie coming up. So here's what's sad... 4kids seems to know better what to do with WB's shows than WB or CN does.

CyberCube commented on May 30 2008:
Funny how 4kids has gone from being hated to being well... "tolerated" I think is the word, but at least they're making some decent work for themselves.

Anyways here is the new 4Kids TV schedule starting June 21:

07:00 AM Viva Pinata
07:30 AM Viva Pinata
09:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
09:30 AM Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
10:00 AM Sonic X
10:30 AM Dinosaur King
11:00 AM Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
11:30 AM Winx Club
12:00 PM The Cramp Twins
12:30 PM Viva Pinata

Also here is the way the schedule is now (till June 14)

07:00 AM Viva Pinata
07:30 AM Viva Pinata
09:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
09:30 AM Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
10:00 AM TMNT: Fast Forward
10:30 AM Dinosaur King
11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX
11:30 AM Winx Club
12:00 PM Chaotic
12:30 PM Viva Pinata

I assume Battle Dimension will move to CW4Kids once CW4Kids is done rushing through S1 of DP

Undrave commented on May 30 2008:
Well to continue on what we were discussing...it seems painfully obvious that 4Kids has no faith at all in the 4KidsTV block anymore and want to fill it with old shows while they concentrate on their shiny new toy.

Keee commented on May 30 2008:
You’re absolutely right. It does seem like 4Kids TV has been left in the dust. With all the recent changes, it feels like they’re just trying to keep afloat rather than push for anything new. It’s disappointing to see so many shows get cut while they focus on bringing in older hits. I hope they can revive the block and push for more innovative content in the future!

judyindisguise commented on May 30 2008:

Remember, if you like Skunk Fu!, it’s time to start bidding farewell. 😢 I just heard that it’s being replaced come June 21, and honestly, I’m not too surprised. While it had its charm, it never really managed to break through and capture a solid audience like some of the other shows.

The good news, though? It looks like we’ll be getting something fresh with Chaotic taking its spot in the lineup! It has that competitive edge and an intriguing premise that I think will resonate well with fans.

So, let’s enjoy Skunk Fu! while we can, but keep those fingers crossed for an exciting new adventure with Chaotic! What do you all think? Are you sad to see Skunk Fu! go, or ready for a change?

D Dubbs commented on May 30 2008:

You know, I've been thinking about World of Quest and its impending cancellation. Honestly, I see its ending more as a mercy kill than anything else. 😬 I mean, while it had potential, the execution just never really hit the mark. The characters were often flat, and the plotlines felt recycled and uninspired. It was like they were desperately trying to inject humor, but it often fell flat, leaving viewers more frustrated than entertained.

The villain, Lord Spite? Please! It’s hard to rally any tension or excitement around a character who’s that one-dimensional. I kept hoping for a turnaround, but it never came. Maybe it's for the best that they’re pulling the plug. Sometimes you just have to let a show go if it’s not delivering. This gives the space for something fresh and hopefully better.

So, I suppose in a way, they’re doing all of us a favor. I’d rather see it end now than keep dragging on and disappoint even more! What do you all think?

hU commentd on May 30 2008:
They're probably thinking why should they supply new shows to a block that is ending in a years time..BUt at the same time it isn't fare for kids who are watching to just have two shows running new episodes(Viva & Dino) while the others are in rerun. I think they should at least have 3 new series on the line up. But 4KIdsTV looks Blah though while CW4Kids looks Banging.

Joetiful View commented on May 30 2008:
What's sad about this is that (just IMO), the 4KidsTV lineup is the best it's been in quite a while, what with Kirby and Sonic X back, plus new Dino King and Viva Pinata episodes. Also didn't 4Kids say Viewtiful Joe was coming to one of their blocks in the fall?

Macattack commented on June 4 2008:
I'm currently staring at the fall lineup for the CW4kids. Holy moley. :eek: It's obvious at this point 4kidsTV is getting the shaft while they're frontloading on the CW4kids. Fox probably isn't too happy about that . . . I hope that Fox formally gets back into the SatAM business soon.

judyindisguise commented on June 7 2008:
And once again, World of Quest was a letdown. Not that it had far to go. Geez...:shrug:
