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 This talkback is for discussion on how you feel about the change, about the new bumpers, and overall the new look. Here is the first CW4K!DS schedule: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Horrid Henry 09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM World of Quest 11:00 AM Johnny Test 11:30 AM Eon Kid D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin May 24, 2008 #2 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.

Shut up! Shut up! JoinedJul 20, 2007 Messages1,979 LocationPA May 24, 2008 #4 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?

Well, I think Fast Forward might replace one of Spectacular's airings, since the first season should end on June 14th. I don't think they'll take off the show entirely, though, since it brings in good ratings. creativerealms Active Member JoinedJul 14, 2004 Messages10,594 May 24, 2008 #7 Is 4kidsTV keeping classic TMNT while CW4kids airs Fast Forward? Also how are they going to do this with two blocks. Whats 4kids plans to make CW4kids and 4kids TV different? veemonjosh veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid May 24, 2008 #8 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). simpsonsfan simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA May 24, 2008 #9 I just hope they get through World of Quest once through. If they don't even finish all 13 I'll be mad since I like this show so much. bigddan11 bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX May 24, 2008 #10 I could actually see them replacing Horrid Henry over Spectacular Spider-Man. Or maybe they'll surprise us and replace Eon Kid or Johnny 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. Write a follow up/continuation forum convo where Chaotic, TMNT:FF and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are coming on the 21 of June, and here's the new lineup, 3 shows are gone to make way (it isn't Spidey) D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin June 18, 2008 #11 Alright folks, it looks like we've got the official word on the updated CW4K!DS schedule coming June 21. Chaotic, TMNT: Fast Forward, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are set to join, shaking things up a bit. Here's the new lineup for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Chaotic 09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward 11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX 11:30 AM World of Quest Looks like Horrid Henry, Johnny Test, and Eon Kid got the axe to make room for the new additions. No surprise about Johnny Test or Eon Kid, but I'm a bit bummed about Horrid Henry. What do you guys think about this shuffle? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid June 18, 2008 #12 Definitely an interesting shakeup. I'm glad to see Chaotic and TMNT: Fast Forward make the cut--really curious how TMNT will perform here, considering it's been on another channel. As for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, always good to have more card game action, though I know it's got a mixed reputation. It's a shame about Horrid Henry though; it had a unique charm. Still, the schedule looks promising, and I'm particularly excited for the new TMNT episodes. Hoping this brings some fresh energy to Saturday mornings. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA June 18, 2008 #13 I have to agree on the new additions doing well, especially TMNT: Fast Forward. It has a loyal fanbase, so ratings shouldn't be an issue. Glad to see The Spectacular Spider-Man keeping its spot, it's easily the best thing on this lineup. Yu-Gi-Oh GX will undoubtedly please the TCG crowd. Sad to see some of the departures, but that's the business, I guess. Here's hoping the newcomers can maintain or even boost viewership for CW4K!DS. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA June 18, 2008 #14 Mixed feelings here. Excited for Chaotic and the others, but it's kind of a letdown to lose Horrid Henry. Johnny Test and Eon Kid leaving was expected but still a bit of a loss, content-wise. This new lineup certainly seems geared towards a more action-oriented audience, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Curious to see how it all pans out rating-wise come fall.

JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX June 20, 2008 #15 Gotta say, I'm genuinely surprised they're keeping Skunk Fu! over Johnny Test or Horrid Henry. Skunk Fu! has its moments, but I thought Johnny Test had a solid fan base, and Horrid Henry certainly had its unique charm. It's interesting to see what the network decides is worth keeping and what's not. Anyone else puzzled by this decision? Or does Skunk Fu! have a bigger following than I'm aware of? It seems like a quirky choice, especially given how competitive these slots are becoming with the new additions.

D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin June 27, 2008 #16 Did everyone catch the Summer lineup promo that aired last week? It was pretty slick--had a real dynamic feel to it. The character from Chaotic was the one announcing the new lineup. It's an interesting choice, giving Chaotic some major visibility. Here's a recap of the lineup they emphasized: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM Magi-Nation 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Chaotic 09:00 AM Tom & Jerry Tales 09:30 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:00 AM Ben 10 10:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward 11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX 11:30 AM World of Quest Looks like they're really pushing for a mix of action and comedy. Thoughts on using the Chaotic character as the "face" of the promo? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid June 27, 2008 #17 The choice to use a Chaotic character for the announcement was a stroke of genius, in my opinion. It highlights one of their flagship shows and really ties the lineup together with a cohesive theme. I'm curious to see if this boosts Chaotic's viewership. Also, happy to see Skunk Fu! getting another chance to shine this summer, despite some of the earlier confusion over its survival. Hoping this lineup pulls in the numbers! simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA June 27, 2008 #18 Loved the promo! The dynamic feel really sets the tone for an exciting summer. Using a character from Chaotic was an interesting choice but definitely adds to the appeal. It's a smart way to market the channel, focusing on one of their more unique offerings. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Chaotic has that cross-media appeal with the card game. This lineup looks solid, and I can't wait to see how it plays out over the summer. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA June 28, 2008 #19 The Summer lineup promo was well done. Highlighting Chaotic does two things: it brings attention to the game tied to the series and also strengthens the channel's identity by promoting their original content. I'm especially looking forward to more episodes of The Spectacular Spider-Man and seeing how TMNT: Fast Forward adjusts to its new home. The mix of shows is promising, and hopefully, it can draw in a wide audience. Also, kudos for giving World of Quest a slot; that show deserves more love. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX June 29, 2008 #20 The overall strategy with the Summer lineup promo is commendable. Featuring a character from Chaotic not only promotes that show but also sets a strong adventurous tone for the entire block. It's a clever way to intertwine the branding of their programs. Still, I was surprised by the strong push for Skunk Fu!; it's an underdog but maybe this is its chance to capture a broader audience. This summer's lineup has a nice blend of old favorites and newer series, which should keep viewers engaged.

What character is used
CHATBOT
In the provided scenario, a specific Chaotic character name wasn't mentioned to be used for the tweet. However, if we were to choose a character from the "Chaotic" series that might fit the role of promoting the lineup, it would make sense to use one of the more recognizable or leading characters, such as: Tom Majors (also known as MajorTom) - The main protagonist who is passionate about the Chaotic game and often leads his friends into adventures in both the real world and the world of Perim. Using Tom Majors for promotion would be fitting as he's a familiar face to fans of the series, embodying the excitement and adventurous spirit of the game and show.
