D Dubbs D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin Jun 18, 2008 #75 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? 4kidstvol7.png 4kidstv2vl1.png 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.

Also, full episodes of Kirby are now streaming in the "Watch" section. Oh, and they finally fixed the 4Kids forums after over two weeks of downtime. PC! PC! lolwut? JoinedJun 9, 2002 Messages14,615 LocationSouth-central Missouri Jun 20, 2008 #87 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 something similar to 4KidsTV, keep the look they have now, or have a sort of "combo" of the two. Write a fictional forum convo where the schedule is shown (7am to 12pm, starting with Will & Dewitt as usual) with Chaotic at 9am, TMNT: FF at 10:30am and Yu-Gi-Oh GX at 11am, Also we get our answer if CW4Kids is moving away from the Kids WB look (This is fictional and set in my AU so don't worry about a thing) CoolKid1991 CoolKid1991 Retro is the New Cool JoinedAug 10, 2005 Messages9,324 LocationThe Heart of Nostalgia Jun 27, 2008 #121 Guys, did anyone catch the upcoming lineup? The schedule is out and it's looking pretty solid from 7am to 12pm! Starting bright and early with Will & Dewitt, as usual, but with some heavy hitters following up. RetroFan88 RetroFan88 Living in the Past, Loving it! JoinedMay 3, 2006 Messages5,407 LocationBack in the 90s Jun 27, 2008 #122 Absolutely stoked for this! Here's what we're looking at: - 7:00am: Will & Dewitt. A nice, chill start to the morning. - 7:30am: Magi-Nation. Always down for some magical adventures. - 8:00am: Viva Pinata. It's hard not to love this one. - 8:30am: Sonic X. Fast-paced action to really wake you up! - 9:00am: Chaotic. This is what I've been waiting for. It's about time we got some more card game action. - 9:30am: Gogoriki. Always a quirky slot but it has its charm. - 10:00am: The Spectacular Spider-Man. Cannot get enough of this show! - 10:30am: TMNT: Fast Forward. The turtles never disappoint. Super hyped for this! - 11:00am: Yu-Gi-Oh GX. The perfect show to lead us toward noon. - 11:30am: Gogoriki. Our beloved round friends end our morning with lots of laughs. TechWizard09 TechWizard09 Your Go-To for All Things Tech and TV JoinedJul 11, 2007 Messages3,819 LocationSurfing the Web of Tomorrow Jun 27, 2008 #123 This lineup is pretty interesting, but what's really catching my eye is the arrangement. Placing Chaotic at 9am could bring in a solid viewership, especially sandwiched between Sonic X and The Spectacular Spider-Man. TMNT: Fast Forward at 10:30am is an excellent choice for the lead into Yu-Gi-Oh GX. VintageToons VintageToons Nostalgia is a Warm, Cozy Place JoinedOct 15, 2004 Messages2,271 LocationRewinding to Better Times Jun 27, 2008 #124 It's cool to see they're keeping some of the classics and mixing in new flavors. But does anyone know if CW4Kids is moving away from the Kids WB look? NerdCore92 NerdCore92 All About the Details JoinedSep 9, 2006 Messages4,282 LocationLooking Closer Jun 27, 2008 #125 Caught a glimpse of the new promo material, and it looks like they're gently shifting from the Kids WB aesthetic to something more in line with 4KidsTV, but it's more like a combo of the two than a complete overhaul. It retains the fun vibe but brings in the newer 4Kids edge. I think it's a smart move considering they're trying to appeal to both loyal viewers and attract new ones with shows like Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Also, this blend of styles could be really refreshing! AnimeFanatic2003 AnimeFanatic2003 Eyes Always Glued to the Screen JoinedJan 8, 2003 Messages6,935 LocationThe Anime Universe Jun 27, 2008 #126 NerdCore92 nailed it. This subtle mix is definitely a way to bridge the gap between two eras of Saturday morning cartoons. Plus, it's sweet to see Yu-Gi-Oh GX cementing that 11am time slot, it's such an underrated gem. This schedule and aesthetic transition seem promising for the CW4Kids future! Everyone seems quite hyped for the mix of shows and the slight shift in aesthetic direction. Keep your eyes peeled this Saturday; let's see how this new blend resonates with the audience! Remember, this conversation is purely fictional, set in an alternate universe created for the sake of this scenario. Enjoy the nostalgic trip down this imaginary lane! Write a convo back on June 1 saying the new lineup is getting rid of Skunk Fu, Johnny Test, Tom and Jerry Tales, Eon Kid, World of Quest and Ben 10 on June 21 and say what's joining, and a user says they think Gogoriki is REALLY cute ForumGuru99 ForumGuru99 Master of All Things TV JoinedApr 11, 2005 Messages12,501 LocationUltimate Viewing Room Jun 01, 2008 #345 Heads up, folks!

They had a good run though. This new lineup sounds interesting. I'm especially curious about Gogoriki.

I caught a preview, and oh my gosh, they're REALLY cute! The character designs are just adorable. I think it's going to be a hit based on the cuteness factor alone. AnimeNerd92 AnimeNerd92 Weeb Extraordinaire JoinedAug 12, 2004 Messages10,123 LocationManga Mansion Jun 01, 2008 #350 CuteCritterLover, totally with you on Gogoriki! Those characters are like a magnet for anyone who loves cute things.

RetroToonLover RetroToonLover Nostalgia Is My Middle Name JoinedFeb 19, 2005 Messages7,132 LocationMemory Lane Jun 14, 2008 #943 I'm actually excited about this. The mix of action and quirky characters in the morning is going to be interesting. Double Gogoriki? That's unexpected but definitely curious to see how it draws the crowd. AdventureAwaits AdventureAwaits Adventurer in Cartoon Land JoinedAug 7, 2004 Messages9,278 LocationJourneying Through Toons Jun 14, 2008 #944 Gogoriki twice really caught me off guard, but hey, more power to them if it works. I'm here for Chaotic and The Spectacular Spider-Man. Those two back-to-back are going to be the highlight of my Saturday morning. Ben10SuperFan Ben10SuperFan Defender of the Omnitrix JoinedOct 12, 2006 Messages5,750 LocationThe Watchtower Jun 14, 2008 #945 In case anyone missed it, today they aired the Ben 10 episode "A Small Problem" - it's one of my favorites from the series. It's bittersweet knowing it's one of the last times we'll see Ben 10 in the current lineup. But the future does look promising! CuteToonWatcher CuteToonWatcher Lover of All Things Adorable JoinedApr 5, 2005 Messages4,221 LocationCuddle Corner Jun 14, 2008 #946 Can't contain my excitement for double Gogoriki! I checked out some of the character designs and they are overflowing with cuteness. Here's to hoping it becomes the sleeper hit of the new lineup! ToonTasticTechie ToonTasticTechie Animated Tech Wizard JoinedMar 3, 2006 Messages6,681 LocationDigital Toon City Jun 14, 2008 #947 It's going to be interesting to see how the network transitions from the current to the new lineup. Gogoriki getting two slots tells me they've got a lot of faith in it catching on. I've got my DVR set up and ready to record; can't risk missing out on this historic shift in Saturday morning tradition! Remember everyone, next Saturday is the big day. Till then, keep tuning in, keep discussing, and let's enjoy the end of an era and the beginning of a new one!

ToonMaster99 ToonMaster99 Cartoon Network Aficionado JoinedJan 1, 2003 Messages18,642 LocationTooniverse Central Jun 21, 2008 #1258 Good morning, cartoon connoisseurs! The numbers are in, and you won't believe which show took the Saturday morning ratings crown. Drumroll, please... It's Gogoriki! Yes, our double-header of pure cuteness and quirky adventures has officially become the highest-rated show in the new lineup. Who would've thought? Seems like the gamble to air it twice really paid off. Let's discuss what this might mean for the future of our weekend mornings. ProudToonFan ProudToonFan Old-School Cartoon Lover JoinedJun 8, 2005 Messages13,780 LocationNostalgia Lane Jun 21, 2008 #1259 I'm honestly really proud of Gogoriki. It's refreshing to see something so different capture the hearts of so many. It's proof that even in a world full of superheroes and action-packed adventures, there's still room for simple, heartwarming fun. Congrats to the creators and the network for taking a chance on something unique! HeartfeltAnimator HeartfeltAnimator Aspiring Creator JoinedSep 15, 2007 Messages4,000 LocationDrawing Board Jun 21, 2008 #1260 I REALLY love Gogoriki. It's charming, it's funny, and it has this innocence that's just captivating. But I won't lie, there's a part of me that's kinda sad about Ben 10, Johnny Test, World of Quest, and Skunk Fu being dropped. They all had their own brand of adventure and humor that I grew up with. It's tough to see them go, but I guess that's the nature of television. Hopefully, they'll find a new home where they can continue to be enjoyed by old and new fans alike. ClassicToonFan ClassicToonFan Retro Cartoon Aficionado JoinedMay 20, 2004 Messages10,215 LocationReliving the Golden Age Jun 21, 2008 #1261 The success of Gogoriki is definitely intriguing. It's a testament to how varied the tastes of the audience can be and how there's always a demand for something different. While I'm thrilled at the new direction and opportunities for different kinds of storytelling, like HeartfeltAnimator, I too feel the loss of our beloved shows. It's like saying goodbye to old friends, hoping you'll run into them again someday. Here's to preserving the legacy of all our favorite shows, while embracing the new gems that come our way. SaturdayMorningBuff SaturdayMorningBuff Weekend Warrior JoinedJan 5, 2003 Messages8,650 LocationCouch Command Center Jun 21, 2008 #1262 It's quite the shakeup, but that's television for you--always evolving. Gogoriki winning the ratings race is a significant milestone. It'll be fascinating to see how the show influences the programming decisions moving forward. Will we see more shows like it in the future? And while the departure of classics is bittersweet, let's not forget that their end could pave the way for new classics to be born. Let's keep our eyes peeled and our remote controls ready for whatever comes next!

Write a convo where Johnny has been replaced in one of the comic book bumpers (Yes, CW4Kids are still using those till summer's out)

ComicNerd101 ComicNerd101 Comic Book & Animation Buff JoinedMar 10, 2005 Messages9,874 LocationIn a Comic Book Store Jul 7, 2008 #6578 Hey folks, did anyone catch the latest comic book bumper on CW4Kids last Saturday? Johnny's been replaced! In the newest animation, it's Gogoriki characters filling in the spot where Johnny Test used to be. It's a bit surreal seeing the shift in the comic book pages from our familiar action-packed scenes to the light-hearted, quirky world of Gogoriki. ToonFanatic92 ToonFanatic92 All Things Toons JoinedApr 15, 2006 Messages8,329 LocationWatching Cartoons Jul 7, 2008 #6579 Yes, I noticed that too! The Gogoriki characters popping out of the comic book panels were a fun touch. CW4Kids seems to be fully embracing the change. I have to admit, while I'm going to miss those Johnny Test bumpers, the new Gogoriki ones add a nice, fresh vibe to the lineup. AnimationAddict AnimationAddict Old-School Toon Lover JoinedJan 19, 2004 Messages12,500 LocationAnimation Land Jul 7, 2008 #6580 I saw it! It's interesting how they're integrating Gogoriki into the CW4Kids identity, especially through those iconic comic book bumpers. I'm curious to see if they'll update any more with the new characters. It's like marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Still, Johnny Test had such a noticeable presence; it feels weird without him. RetroToons4Life RetroToons4Life Nostalgic Toon Lover JoinedFeb 5, 2003 Messages10,745 LocationReliving the Classics Jul 7, 2008 #6581 Definitely an end of an era feeling. The comic book bumpers are such a staple of the CW4Kids identity, and seeing them update to feature new shows is bittersweet. It's a clear sign of the times changing. Gogoriki's whimsical style does bring a breath of fresh air, though. It'll be interesting to see how the audience reacts over time. CartoonCritic CartoonCritic Analyzing Animation JoinedSep 9, 2007 Messages6,581 LocationIn a Theater Near You Jul 7, 2008 #6582 Change is the only constant in the world of television. The transition from Johnny Test to Gogoriki in the comic book bumpers symbolizes not just a change in programming but also a shift in what the network believes will draw in the audience. It's going to be exciting to see how CW4Kids evolves from here and what new shows might get their moment in the comic book spotlight next summer.

**ToonTalker247** ToonTalker247 Saturday Morning Aficionado Joined May 6, 2005 Messages 4,732 LocationToon Central Aug 5, 2008 --- So, has everyone settled into the new lineup yet? I've noticed Johnny Test and Tom and Jerry Tales fans seem to have embraced Gogoriki without much fuss. It's different, sure, but it's quirky and fun. Thoughts? **DigiFanatic** DigiFanatic Digital Toons Lover Joined Oct 19, 2006 Messages 3,289 Location Digital World Aug 5, 2008 --- Absolutely, ToonTalker247. As a JT fan myself, I found Gogoriki to be a pleasant surprise. It's different but in a good way. It brought something new to the table, and I appreciated that freshness in the morning lineup. **ClassicCartoonCritic** ClassicCartoonCritic Old School Enthusiast Joined Sep 8, 2004 Messages 5,674 Location Nostalgia Lane Aug 5, 2008 --- I agree. Tom and Jerry Tales had its run, and while nothing can truly replace the classics, Gogoriki has its own charm. Plus, it's always nice to see new animation styles and stories being presented. **Ben10Defender** Ben10Defender Protector of the Omnitrix Joined Jun 30, 2007 Messages 2,810 Location Hero HQ Aug 5, 2008 --- On the other hand, as a die-hard Ben 10 fan, switching to Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX has been rough. It's not just about genre but the storytelling vibe. Ben 10 had action, humor, and a relatable protagonist. Chaotic and YGO GX are cool, don't get me wrong, but they lean heavily into the card game aspect, which isn't everyone's cup of tea. **GXChampion** GXChampion Duel Master in Training Joined Aug 14, 2006 Messages 1,975 Location The Duel Academy Aug 5, 2008 --- I understand where Ben10Defender is coming from. It's a significant shift from a narrative and character-driven show like Ben 10 to more strategy and game-focused shows. For YGO GX fans, it's a direct hit, but transitioning fans might find it harder to connect with the themes and characters. **ChaoticChampion** ChaoticChampion Perim Explorer Joined Jul 22, 2007 Messages 2,091 Location Chaotic Realm Aug 5, 2008 --- True, the transition has been a bit polarizing. Speaking as a Chaotic fan, I love the strategic depth and the unique creatures. However, I can see how Ben 10 fans might miss the continuity and character development they were used to. It's a different storytelling experience altogether. **ToonUnity** ToonUnity Bringing Fans Together Joined Jan 15, 2005 Messages 4,550 Location Toon Metropolis Aug 5, 2008 --- What we're seeing is a fascinating aspect of fandom. Shows like Johnny Test and Tom and Jerry Tales, while beloved, cater to a wide audience with their comedy and antics, making the transition to Gogoriki smoother. Ben 10 introduced a mix of humor, action, and character-driven plots that created a strong bond with its viewers, making it harder for these fans to find the same attachment in card-based game shows. It highlights how diverse our cartoon preferences can be and how certain genres resonate differently with each viewer.

Write a convo asking why W&D and MN get to stay,
CHATBOT
**AnimationAnalyst** AnimationAnalyst Cartoon Connoisseur Joined Feb 12, 2004 Messages 8,154 Location Animated Insights Sep 10, 2008 --- Hey everyone, I've been pondering the recent lineup changes and something struck me: Why do Will & Dewitt (W&D) and Magi-Nation (MN) get to stay amidst all the swaps and replacements? Not saying they don't deserve their spots, but considering the shift towards more action-oriented and card game shows, it's intriguing they remain. Thoughts? **ToonSavvy101** ToonSavvy101 Saturday Morning Scholar Joined Mar 3, 2006 Messages 5,981 Location Toon Town Hall Sep 10, 2008 --- That's a good question, AnimationAnalyst. One theory could be that W&D and MN offer a unique blend that the network is aiming to maintain - variety. W&D provides a wholesome, educational yet entertaining experience for a younger audience, which is invaluable. As for MN, it bridges the gap with a fantasy adventure world that isn't as niche as card game shows but still appeals to fans of mystical and strategic themes. **FanTheoryGuy** FanTheoryGuy Pop Culture Philosopher Joined Aug 18, 2005 Messages 3,467 Location Theoryville Sep 10, 2008 --- To add to ToonSavvy101's point, retaining W&D and MN could also be a strategic move to keep a diverse audience. While action and card games draw in one crowd, the imaginative and problem-solving stories from shows like W&D and MN cater to both younger viewers and those looking for less intense content. This balanced approach could help maintain broader appeal. **CartoonDynamo** CartoonDynamo Animation Aficionado Joined Jan 22, 2007 Messages 6,330 Location Dynamic Discussions Sep 10, 2008 --- Absolutely, FanTheoryGuy and ToonSavvy101. Diversity in programming is key, especially for a block that's viewed by a wide array of ages and interests. Shows like W&D and MN also have an element of 'edutainment' without being overt, making them an easy fit for parents looking for content that's not just entertaining but also enriching for their kids. **RetroToonFan** RetroToonFan Nostalgic Animation Lover Joined Jul 5, 2002 Messages 9,025 Location Memory Lane Sep 10, 2008 --- You guys bring up valid points about variety and audience. Let's not forget the possible contractual and scheduling agreements that might be in place. Channels often make long-term deals with show distributors, and it's possible W&D and MN have contracts that ensure their stay for a set period. Plus, finding suitable replacements that fit the desired programming mix is no small feat. **NextGenToonster** NextGenToonster Future of Animation Fan Joined May 11, 2008 Messages 1,254 Location Looking Ahead Sep 10, 2008 --- All excellent insights! Another angle could be the educational value these shows provide, positioning the network favorably in terms of offering content that's not just purely entertainment-based but also carries educational undertones, crucial for appealing to parents and educators. In an era where content is king, having multifaceted shows like W&D and MN gives the network an edge in the competitive world of children's programming.
