Shaggy and Scooby set out to find Uncle Albert and keep the secret technology away from the comically evil Dr. Phineus Phibes. The second season of "Shaggy & Scooby-Doo" raises the stakes on humor as Dr. Phibes now possesses the secret morphing nanotechnology * but has no idea how it works. The more he manipulates the formula, and uses himself and his bumbling agents as guinea pigs, the bigger the laughs. Over the course of these 13 new episodes, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo will encounter Phibes in a wide variety of venues * from the opening of their very own theme park 'Shaggy & Scooby World' * to Phibes' underground lair deep in the fiery bowels of an active volcano.

Johnny is the ultimate test pilot where no mission is too unbelievable, no challenge is too great, no villain is too menacing * and no sister-created concoction is too wild. As long as his dog, Dukey, can come along, Johnny gives it a go! "Johnny Test" is produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment. The series is rated TV-Y7.

Legion of Super Heroes (11:00 a.m.)
The second season of "Legion of Super Heroes" finds the group fulfilling their collective destiny, each member elevating his skills to new levels & just in time to face even greater challenges.

Superman returns from the 21st century with greater development of both his physical prowess and far better utilization of his powers to help the Legion toward victory in the 31st century and beyond. Moreover, the Legion finds a surprising, new ally from across the space-time continuum * a 41st century Superman, cloned from the original Superman with alien DNA added to the mix for new, enhanced powers * to assist in its efforts to rid the universe of this powerful foe. Along the way, the LOSH * including new members like Chameleon Boy * provides the perfect complement of heroics and comedy to the efforts of the Supermans. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation. The series is rated TV-Y7 FV (fantasy violence).

The Batman (11:30 a.m.)
Four-time Emmy Award winner "The Batman" will focus its new season on the introduction of Batman's Justice League peers.

The usual suspects return with nefarious new schemes and more sophisticated gadgetry as the Joker, Penguin, Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze are joined in their quest to rid Gotham of any nocturnal winged creatures by the likes of Sinestro, Scarface, Mirror Master, Metallo, Clayface and even Lex Luthor, who enlists Poison Ivy and her enchanting spores to turn Superman against Batman in the two-part season premiere. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation. The series is rated TV-Y7 FV (fantasy violence).

Kids' WB! on the CW will welcome two additional series in early 2008 * the hotly anticipated "The Spectacular Spider-Man," an all-new animated series from Culver Entertainment; and "World of Quest," an action-comedy based on the Komikwerks graphic novel series by Jason Kruse, and produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment.

11:30AM Eon Kid. Write a forum conversation March 5 2008 asking if anything is known about Fall 2008

User1 (March 5, 2008, 10:15 AM):
Hey everyone! I've been following the Kids' WB! schedule closely and it's been great so far with shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and World of Quest making their debut this year. Does anyone have any info or rumors about what the lineup might look like for Fall 2008? Are there any new shows expected or major changes? Would love to hear any updates or insider tidbits! Thanks!

Write 8 replies saying the lineup has been good so far

User2:
Totally agree, User1! The lineup this season has been really solid. I’m especially enjoying The Spectacular Spider-Man—it’s such a fresh take. Can’t wait to see what they have planned for the fall!

User3:
Yeah, the schedule has been great so far. World of Quest is a nice addition, and I like that they’re mixing action and comedy. Hopefully, the next season keeps up the good work!

User4:
So far, so good! I love that Legion of Super Heroes and Johnny Test are still around. It’s a great mix of classics and new shows. I’m excited to see what falls 2008 brings!

User5:
Kids’ WB! has been on a roll lately. The variety keeps me watching every Saturday morning. Magi-Nation and Skunk Fu! are awesome too. Here’s hoping they keep the momentum going!

User6:
Honestly, this has been one of the better lineups in recent years. The combination of newer shows and old favorites feels balanced. Fingers crossed for more cool premieres this fall!

User7:
I’ve been really impressed with the lineup so far. Shows like The Batman and Shaggy & Scooby-Doo still hold up, and the new series add some fresh energy. Can’t wait to see if they add anything new this fall.

User8:
The season so far has been really enjoyable. I think Kids’ WB! nailed it with their choices this year. I’d love to see more original stuff next fall though!

User9:
Yep, the lineup has been solid! I tune in every Saturday because there’s something good on almost every time slot. Hoping for some exciting announcements about next season soon!

Write a conversation May 4 2008, YGO 5Ds is headed for 4Kids in fall, so GX moves here, bringing the OTHER big anime.back with it, Why am I not surprised,

User1 (May 4, 2008, 9:30 AM):
Just heard that Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s is headed to 4Kids this fall. So that means GX is moving over here to Kids’ WB! along with the other big anime. Why am I not surprised?

User2:
Yeah, makes sense given how 4Kids has been handling the 5D’s license. I guess Kids’ WB! is making room by bringing back GX. Kind of a smart move to keep the big fanbase tuned in.

User3:
I was kinda expecting this shift. 4Kids getting 5D’s fits their style, and Kids’ WB! getting GX again is perfect for those who prefer the older series. Plus, more Yu-Gi-Oh! is always a win.

User4:
Honestly, I’m not surprised either. 4Kids has had the newer series lately, so swapping with Kids’ WB! feels like the natural next step. I just hope both networks keep the anime in good shape.

User5:
What do they mean by “the OTHER big anime” coming back with GX? Are they talking about something like Pokémon or Dragon Ball returning too? That’d be crazy!

User1:
Most likely Pokémon, yeah. It’s been a staple on Kids’ WB! forever. If GX is coming back, it would make sense for Pokémon to stay since they complement each other well for that audience.

User6:
This shuffle just shows how much the networks are battling over anime ratings. Good for us fans, though—more episodes of GX and fresh 5D’s on 4Kids. Can’t complain.

User2:
Totally. At the end of the day, both 4Kids and Kids’ WB! want the big titles to bring in viewers. I’m just glad Yu-Gi-Oh! is still going strong on broadcast TV.

User3:
Same here. Can’t wait for the fall to see how the schedule shapes up with these changes. Hopefully they don’t mess with the quality or airtimes too much.

Topic: Kids WB Fall Lineup - Only Seeing GoGoRiki and Batman: The Brave and the Bold?
Posted on August 2, 2008

User1:
Hey everyone, I was just checking out the Kids WB lineup for this fall, and so far the only two new shows I’m seeing are GoGoRiki and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Is that it? I was expecting more new stuff this season. Anyone know if there are other new shows coming or is it really just those two?

User2:
Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard too. Kids WB is kind of scaling back the number of new shows this fall. GoGoRiki is that Russian cartoon about little creatures, right? Seems like a strange pick for a US audience, but it could work. And Batman: The Brave and the Bold looks really promising — it’s got that classic comic vibe, which is cool.

User3:
From what I read, Kids WB decided to focus more on a few strong shows instead of launching a whole bunch. They’re keeping some of their popular returning series too. So it’s not all new shows, more like a mix with just those two new ones. Makes sense with budget cuts and all.

User4:
I’m excited for Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The trailers showed a lot of fun team-ups and humor. As for GoGoRiki, I’m a bit skeptical but willing to give it a chance. Kids WB probably figured since they already have a solid lineup, they didn’t need to introduce too many new things at once.

User1:
Thanks, that clears it up. I guess quality over quantity is the way they’re going. Hopefully these new shows do well! Would love to see more variety eventually though.

User5:
I agree! They should consider bringing in more originals. But Batman alone might pull in a lot of viewers. Fingers crossed.

End of thread

Write a reply listing the new 7am-12pm schedule, also the other shows airing

User6:
Hey everyone, here’s the latest Kids WB fall schedule I found for the 7am to 12pm block, along with other shows airing during the morning lineup:

7:00am - 7:30am: GoGoRiki (New)
7:30am - 8:00am: Tom and Jerry Tales
8:00am - 8:30am: Batman: The Brave and the Bold (New)
8:30am - 9:00am: Teen Titans
9:00am - 9:30am: The Spectacular Spider-Man
9:30am - 10:00am: Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
10:00am - 10:30am: Xiaolin Showdown
10:30am - 11:00am: Pokémon
11:00am - 11:30am: The Spectacular Spider-Man
11:30am - 12:00pm: Jackie Chan Adventures

So, besides GoGoRiki and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, you’ve got a solid mix of new and returning favorites throughout the morning. Looks like Kids WB is keeping some classics to appeal to longtime fans while introducing those two new shows. Hopefully this lineup keeps them competitive this fall!

Write a conversation saying the way I understood things, GX moves to Kids WB while 4Kids TV airs 5Ds, Also strange to see Kids WB without Johnny Test, also I knew they'd come crying back to Pokemon eventually, 2 years without it must have done a number on the ratings, Also what date in September does this take effect, Also I noticed they are adding new packaging with colored monsters who interact with the block logo
