I agree with this, however, like I mentioned earlier, they don’t exactly have great distribution. You’d think that in the 6th-largest city in the USA, I’d be able to find Medabots DVDs at a major retailer somewhere other than bestbuy.com :shrug:

By the same token, The Best Buy in a relatively small city compared to some of the giants, Springfield MO, carries copies. So size doesn’t really matter.

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.

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.

Uh. Did you just call Mr. Men a preschool show? Sorry, I don’t agree.

That’s okay. I was thinking of the new series for Mr. Men, not the original one, since I thought that I heard that it was aimed at preschoolers, but I could be completely wrong. That obviously wouldn’t be the first time.

Yeah, if this is going to air on CW4Kids, it’ll probably be the replacement for Will & Dewitt (I have a feeling they might keep Magi-Nation around since it kinda fits the action theme the rest of the block is having and it IS based off of an extremely obscure Game Boy Color game).

They prolly already picked the name and are just doing it to get kids hyped for it

Which is pretty much just like the TMNT theme song thing, since the name had already been decided as “Back to the Sewers”, and the theme song that won had, you guessed it, Back to the Sewers repeating over and over again. :p

And I picked “OHBOHS”, since it sounds the most catchy (then again, “ROTATOS” does too, but “OHBOHS” rolls off the tongue better). ^^

I was referring to the new one, actually.

The books that it’s based on are for preschoolers, but the new series is too smart for them, IMO.

4kids should gradually shift towards teens.

If there is anyone they should alienate as a sideffect, it should be overprotective parents that don’t understand modern norms of animation appreciation.

Oh, okay. I wasn’t sure if you were referring to the original or new cartoon. I remember seeing the books before in the children’s book section, so I thought that it was aimed at preschoolers, not that’s a bad thing. I haven’t seen much of the new show so I wouldn’t know if it would be too smart or not for them. Sorry for the confusion.

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.

http://www.smeshariki.ru/
http://fungamemedia.com/ Also, TMNT and Chaotic join CW4Kids on June 21. Write a follow up where on June 21 2 more shows are coming, one being YGO GX
On June 21, not only are fans eagerly anticipating the addition of “TMNT” and “Chaotic” to the CW4Kids lineup, but there’s also buzz about two more shows joining the fold. Notably, one of these new arrivals is “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,” which has already garnered a significant following eager to see this series make its debut on the channel.

“Yu-Gi-Oh! GX” continues to expand the universe introduced in the original “Yu-Gi-Oh!” series, taking viewers to Duel Academy, a highly prestigious school where students learn the intricacies of the Duel Monsters card game. The show follows Jaden Yuki and his friends as they navigate through the challenges of Duel Academy, striving to become the next King of Games. With its engaging storyline and relatable character dynamics, “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX” is expected to captivate both loyal fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.

The second show joining CW4Kids on this date remains shrouded in mystery, sparking curiosity and speculation among viewers. The channel has promised an exciting reveal closer to the date, suggesting that this new addition will complement the already action-packed and adventure-filled lineup that CW4Kids is known for.

The inclusion of these shows marks a significant expansion of CW4Kids’ programming, aimed at providing a diverse range of entertainment options for its audience. Fans of action, adventure, and the strategic complexities of card games will have plenty to look forward to on June 21, making it a red-letter day for the channel and its viewers.
Write a forum convo about the new lineup, the other show is Smeshariki (named GoGoRiki) We also see the new lineup
Forum Topic: New CW4Kids Lineup Discussion - Welcome Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and GoGoRiki (Smeshariki)!

—

YugiOhFan88: Hey everyone! June 21 is gonna be a big day for CW4Kids. We’re getting Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and another show called GoGoRiki. Anyone know about GoGoRiki?

CardDuelist: Excited for Yu-Gi-Oh! GX! Finally, some fresh duels on our screens. But GoGoRiki? That’s news to me. Isn’t that Smeshariki in other regions?

ToonAdventurer: Yeah, GoGoRiki is the English name for Smeshariki. It’s surprisingly deep for a show that looks so cute and simple. Lots of humor and life lessons without feeling preachy. I wonder how they’ll adapt it for the US audience.

MangaMaster: Gotta say, it’s an interesting choice for CW4Kids. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is a no-brainer, sure to draw in viewers. But GoGoRiki feels like it’s from a different vibe entirely. Curious how it’ll fit in.

PixelPanda: Did someone catch the full lineup for June 21? What time are we seeing these shows?

YugiOhFan88:
Sure, here’s the updated lineup for CW4Kids June 21:

- 7:00 AM - Will & Dewitt
- 7:30 AM - Magi-Nation
- 8:00 AM - Skunk Fu!
- 8:30 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales
- 9:00 AM - GoGoRiki (Premiere)
- 9:30 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (New to CW4Kids)
- 10:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
- 10:30 AM - World of Quest
- 11:00 AM - Johnny Test
- 11:30 AM - Chaotic

DinoDueler: Yu-Gi-Oh! GX at 9:30 AM is perfect for me. But I’m definitely intrigued by GoGoRiki too. Always down for something new and different.

CartoonCritic: Really curious how GoGoRiki will be received. It’s quite popular internationally, so it might become a sleeper hit here too. Coupled with the strong fanbase of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, CW4Kids might see a nice bump in their viewership.

ToonAdventurer: I just hope they keep the charm of GoGoRiki in the translation. It’s one of those shows that can be enjoyed by a wide range of viewers if done right.

MangaMaster: Agreed. It’s a big day for CW4Kids. Here’s to hoping both shows find their audience. I’m especially keen to see how they localize GoGoRiki, given its unique humor and style.

PixelPanda: One thing’s for sure, my Saturday mornings are booked again! Can’t wait to dive back into the world of dueling with Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and see what GoGoRiki has to offer.

The conversation continues with members sharing their favorite moments from past episodes of “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,” speculating about the English adaptation of “GoGoRiki,” and discussing how these additions might influence the overall vibe of the CW4Kids Saturday morning lineup.
Write a follow up speculating on the Fall lineup
Forum Topic: Fall Lineup Speculation for CW4Kids - What’s Next?

—

SaturdayToonFan: Now that we’re all hyped about the additions of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and GoGoRiki this June, any guesses or wishes for the Fall lineup? With such a refresh happening in the summer, CW4Kids might be setting up for an exciting Fall.

RetroCartoonLover: I’m hoping they bring back some classics but with a twist. Maybe a reimagined version of “ThunderCats” or even “SilverHawks.” The nostalgia factor combined with modern animation could be a hit.

AnimeAce: With the success of anime on the block, I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduced another popular series, maybe something in line with “My Hero Academia” vibes. They’ve seen the formula works with Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, after all.

ToonInvestigator: Pure speculation here, but I heard rumblings about a possible new “Sonic the Hedgehog” series in the works. If that’s true, CW4Kids would be crazy not to try and grab it. Sonic has always performed well in the morning slots.

DigitalDreamer: GoGoRiki presents an interesting direction. Maybe they’re testing the waters for more international content? There’s a treasure trove of underappreciated shows from Europe and Asia that could resonate well with the audience here.

ComicBookFan: I’m thinking superheroes will continue to dominate. Perhaps deeper cuts into the DC or Marvel universes? A show focusing on lesser-known heroes or young sidekicks coming of age could align well with CW4Kids’ demographic.

PixelPanda: What about educational content? GoGoRiki has its moments of teaching and learning. They might lean into that more without making it obvious. Edutainment, but make it cool.

MangaMaster:
There’s also room for expansion in the digital gaming world. Maybe a series that delves into virtual reality or esports? Gaming is huge with the target audience, and something that blends IRL (in real life) gaming challenges with animated adventures could be golden.

SaturdayToonFan:
All these ideas sound amazing! I’d love to see a mix of anime, educational content, and maybe even some interactive shows. With streaming services getting more competitive, CW4Kids needs to bring their A-game this Fall.

RetroCartoonLover:
Don’t forget the potential for cross-media content. With Yu-Gi-Oh! GX showing the model works, they could introduce shows that tie into apps or games, making the viewing experience more engaging and interactive.

AnimeAce:
True! Transmedia storytelling is the future. Imagine watching an episode and then playing the game to unlock more of the story or exclusive content. CW4Kids could really innovate the Saturday morning block with this approach.

ToonInvestigator:
Let’s keep our ears to the ground and eyes peeled for any announcements. CW4Kids has a history of surprising us, and I have a feeling this Fall will be no exception.
