Robin joins the team, and the fabled dynamic duo is also occasionally joined by Batgirl. Harley Quinn, Black Mask, Killer Moth, the Everywhere Man and a brand-new Clayface join the rogues' gallery of villains, led by the Joker, Penguin and Riddler, who ceaselessly torment Batman and Gotham City.

A spider startles Hunter, who falls into a hole to the center of the Earth and into the subterranean world of Arachna. There, he discovers a small group of elite warriors struggling to survive and to save Arachna from the attack of Invectids, a race of insectoids. The warriors are children/teenagers, each fighting with the help of their own 10 ft (3.0 m) battle spiders. They call themselves "Spider Riders". SPIDER RIDERS is produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment and BEETRAIN

FOUR EYES!: Emma is a popular, attractive 10 year old alien girl from Albacore 7 whose less-than-stellar grades find her having to repeat the fifth grade. When her upper crust parents are made aware of her poor performance and behaviour, they send her to a boarding school on Earth to teach her a lesson. Emma has to wear a special device shaped like glasses, which turn her from her usual pink squid like appearance to a human. A fifth grade human. Which is about as bad as Emma thinks things can get. Until she slowly discovers that two of her most obvious human traits are not readily accepted by kids: First, she’s nerdy. Second, she wears glasses. Put together, these things make her time on our planet even more unbearable.
Emma’s outward appearance lands her in with a couple of equally geekish humans named Pete and Skyler. Although it doesn’t take long for them to realize that they’re not that alike after all. When she morphs into an alien, Emma really does have four eyes! The name of the show is also taken from both the fact that the true alien form of the protagonist is literally having four eyes and, coincidentally, the glasses she uses in order to morph herself into the shape of a human being. Another reason is that the notorious twin antagonists Alexis and Roland Billingsford call her by that name. FOUR EYES! is produced by Pictor Media and PorchLight Entertainment, and is created by Darryl Kluskowski

In LOONATICS UNLEASHED, six descendants of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, the Road Runner, Tasmanian Devil and Lola Bunny each boasting special skills, unique powers and gifted with a firm sense of justice come together 700 years in the future to form a brilliant ensemble of superheroes who protect Acmetropolis from evil villains who have their own uncommon strengths. In the second season, new characters descended from classic Looney Tunes characters like Yosemite Sam, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird and Marvin the Martian make special appearances. LOONATICS UNLEASHED is exec produced by Schwartz and produced by Ron Myrick for WBA.

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:

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.

biggdan22 commented on May 29 2008:
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, 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:

Light Lucario commented on June 10 2008:
It seems that 4Kids is pretty much putting almost all of their shows onto the CW. They seem to be keeping Viva Pinata, Dinosaur King, Sonic X, Cramp Twins and Kirby on 4KidsTV. I doubt that they're expecting much from that lineup since they're putting much more focus on the lineup for CW. I wonder if this definitely means that they'll end their contract with FOX after this year. I have a feeling that it does.

I'm also still a bit surprised that they would put GX on the CW when its still in the middle of the season. Not to mention how its never aired on the CW before. I guess that they want to get people more interested in Yu-Gi-Oh! for 5D's this fall and it would work out better with new episodes rather than repeats. I would hope that they mention that GX will air on the CW4Kids after this week's episode, considering how the change happens a week from this Saturday. Well, as long as I can still watch the rest of the series on CW4Kids, then I'm happy. And this does give me a chance to check out more of the CW4Kids before fall. Did they already announce the schedule for the CW4Kids for June 21st? I wasn't sure if that was mentioned or if it was just a prediction schedule.

biggdan22 commented on June 10 2008:
I think that 4Kids will expedite this Kooky Klicks series they announced they are making today and try to have it for 4KidsTV this fall. If so, then this is the list we have for both blocks

CW4Kids:
TMNT: Back to the Sewer
Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension (when it inevitably moves to the block from 4Kids TV)
Smeshariki
Viewtiful Joe S2
The Spectacular Spider-Man S2
Huntik: Secrets and Seekers (Won't be till mid-season)
Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight (again, not till midseason)
One Piece

4Kids TV:
Chaotic: M'arrilian Invasion (I assume it will move to CW eventually, assuming they rush through S1 like they're doing with Pokemon)
Di-Gata Defenders
Biker Mice from Mars
Kooky Klicks
Pirate Islands: The Lost Treasure of Fiji
Dinosaur King (might move to CW, who knows?

I still can't believe the number of people complaining about 4Kids's decision to shuffle the Pokemon voice cast, like, it happened 2 years ago, deal with it.

Also love those GX titles, I assume those have already aired in another English country

Hey, just wanted to jump in about those Yu-Gi-Oh! GX titles! ✨ Yes, they have indeed aired in other English-speaking countries already, like Canada and Australia. The titles were revealed through various broadcasting schedules and episode guides over there, which means we’re just getting a taste of what’s to come in the U.S.!

Fans overseas have had a chance to enjoy those episodes for a while now, and I can tell you that the story really ramps up in those arcs! We get some major character development and intense duels that really test our heroes. If you haven’t seen them yet, you’re in for a treat! Just be ready for some serious cliffhangers! 😅 I'm looking forward to seeing how they translate over to our airwaves and how the characters evolve, especially with Jaden and his journey!

Let’s hope that CW4Kids gives them a good airtime slot so we don’t have to wait too long! What are you most excited about?

Lots of stuff going on this week.

First off, I'm surprised that out of the 18 available spots, Chaotic only has one. I thought it'd at least have two, if not three.

Second, it's kinda interesting to see Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in the 11:00 AM spot, which is where the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series aired on Kids' WB for the majority of its run. It's almost...nostalgic.

Third, The Batman is starting at season five, which is good for me, since that's the only season I haven't seen. :D All the other new additions, plus Chaotic and Spider-Man start at episode one.

And finally, that Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode is a repeat (it's the start of the two-parter before the current three-parter), so looks like it'll take five weeks before we get to premieres again.

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.

If I was 4kids I would do the same thing. They are losing $5 million a year with their deal with Fox and with the arrangement they have with The CW they are expecting to off-set that amount and make a profit. So it makes sense for them to stack the deck towards that goal. They made it very clear they do not want anything more to do with Fox unless they can offer them a better deal (one where they could turn a profit I would think). No use throwing more money into a sinking ship!

Undrave commented on June 11 2008:
Then maybe its part of a scare tactic to get Fox to reconsider the deal?

Light Lucario commented on June 11 2008:
Oh man. So there won't be any new episodes of GX for five weeks? That bites. Seriously, they have the episode titles so I don't understand why they don't start right where they'll leave off after this Saturday. I doubt that it would make things less confusing for newcomers for the series. Oh well. I'll still watch them just because they're on and considering how GX barely gets any DVD releases, I don't know when I'll seem them again. Plus, those episodes have been really fun to watch. Hopefully, Pokemon will have some interesting episodes because outside of that, Dinosaur King and some other repeats on both blocks, I won't have much to watch on Saturday morning. At least I only have to wait until the middle of July to see the new episodes, which is better than the wait for new episodes after CN dropped the show.

I actually forgot that Yu-Gi-Oh! was on that same time slot during most of its run. That does give kind of a nostalgic feeling to it. Of course, GX has aired on that same time over six months. Still, its nice to see that they're, in a way, relating to both series.

D Dubbs commented on June 11 2008:
I'm not sure that Fox really cares too much about 4Kids' programming. There's barely any cross-promotion between Fox and 4Kids TV (i.e., you don't see promos for TMNT during American Idol or promos for House during Dinosaur King).

As a 4Kids rep said last month, they want out on Fox, unless they offer them a really good deal. Plus, it's kind of hard to imagine 4Kids programming two Saturday morning blocks for a substantial period of time.

SonicEclipse commented on June 11 2008:
I find it sad that 4Kids is only using 4Kids TV as a place for their older shows while moving the big names to CW4Kids, and that they want out of FOX. This is what I predicted though, and I guess its really the best way to go when looking at from a business stand point. I hope FOX programs their own Saturday morning block again, if not than I hope they can find a decent animation company to take over when 4Kids leaves in '09. Please no infomercials, talkshows, or news shows. There are enough networks running that garbage already.

It just hit me, but I remember reading on various Sonic forums that 4Kids' rights to Sonic X were suppose to expire back in '07. Obviously this was never true or the lisence was renewed, or else they wouldn't be streaming episodes on 4Kidstv.com, nor would they be beginning from episode 1 on June 21st.

This is also the first time I've heard about 4Kids losing the rights to Shaman King in July '08. But I don't think thats true, because I emailed 4Kids at the end of December about a possible Shaman King DVD release and they told they have plans to release the series on DVD sometime in '08. Could 4Kids be planning to release Shaman King with Shout Factory like they are with Dinosaur King? Also about CW4Kids, I'm sure that once One Piece gets out of it's hiatus stupor, it will move to CW4Kids

D Dubbs commented on June 14 2008:
Hmm...I found it pretty odd that there was no cross-promotion between the blocks this morning. How are Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX viewers supposed to know that the shows are going air on The CW now? Oh well, they'll figure it out eventually, I suppose.

Light Lucario commented on June 14 2008:
I was thinking the same thing myself when I was waiting this morning's GX episode. I was actually expecting that they would announce the move to the CW4Kids after the episode, but they were making a bigger deal for the return of Sonic X and Kirby to the 4KidsTV block. If some fans of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Chaotic don't have access to a computer, then they'll probably look it up on TV Guide. That or maybe 4Kids will tell them about the change next week right before the shows replacing their time slots air. I remember that they did something like that for a couple of weeks when they put Sonic X only on their website.

biggdan22 commented on June 14 2008:
Typically they've announced shows that were on their network when they have had time changes, but they typically haven't announced them when they have network changes. I can say they were announcing all 4 changes for next week on The CW4Kids today, so maybe they'll mention it next week, but I doubt they mention it unless they start advertising that they are programming two blocks.

SonicEclipse commented on June 14 2008:
4Kids probably didn't mention anything about Chaotic, TMNT, Pokemon and YGOGX moving to The CW this morning because they're probably not allowed to. I don't think FOX would like it very much if they advertised shows that are for a different and competing network. It doesn't matter if the shows are moving to another 4Kids block, its still a separate Network. I know I wouldn't allow it, unless 4Kids and CW were paying my network to do so.

D Dubbs commented on June 18 2008:
Looks like the 4Kids.tv website is going under some reconstruction. Gone are the show icons at the top of the front page, and instead we have...spinning Pac-Man icons?


The CW4Kids and 4Kids TV symbols alternate about once every second. It probably won't be long before the CW4Kids.com redirects to 4Kids.tv. I assume they'll replace the spinning Pac-Mans with new show icons fairly soon, too.

EDIT: Okay, the show icons have been uploaded, and they're pretty much the same as before, except now there's one for Kirby. I guess they'll add Kirby episodes to the "Watch" section eventually.

SonicEclipse commented on June 19 2008:
CW4Kids.com now redirects to 4KidsTV.com. It's got the new schedule on the side too.
Looks pretty cool seeing Spider-Man and Batman on a 4Kids site, check it out.

I wonder if this means CW4Kids will have a new look this Saturday.

D Dubbs commented on June 20 2008:
Check out this article in the Buzz section:
This weekend is the first time you can check out what the CW4Kids has to offer. We’re bringing you some of the 4Kids shows as well as some popular CW shows.

Coming your way are Will & Dewitt, Magi-Nation, Monster Allergy, Spider Riders, Tom and Jerry Tales, Blobbit Adventures, Chaotic, two episodes of The Spectacular Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Batman, and two episodes of Pokémon!

So get ready, get set, and watch all morning long starting this Saturday and let us know what you think!

Interesting that they call it the first time you can watch CW4Kids. Well, I hope they create new bumps for tomorrow, rather than being lazy and sticking their logo on the former Kids' WB bumps (even if it does look pretty decent).

PC commented on June 20 2008:
Well really, they say the first time to "check out what CW4Kids has to offer", probably referring to the "new" 4Kids shows. I don't think they really mean the first "airing" of CW4Kids.

I'd love to have some new bumps though. I wonder if they'll gradually shift from the pseudo-WB look they have going on to turn it into the new 4KidsTV, keep the look they have now, or have a sort of "combo" of the two.

Bets on how long it takes before 4Kids goes all "G4" on us and changes the block name to 4KidsTV?

Joetiful View commented on June 21 2008:
No new bumpers today, still the same ones from Kids' WB. Write a follow up where the ratings for both blocks on June 21 came in on June 23, Interesting to see what shows got the highest ratings
