CHATBOT: 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.

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.

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?

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.

Looks like we're getting a bunch more shows added to the lineup: Smeshariki, Viva Pinata, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King are all confirmed to be joining. Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless, this new lineup suggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos
CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generatio...
CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. T...

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?

Chaotic, TMNT: Fast Forward, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are set to join, shaking things up a bit.

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.

Looks like we're getting a bunch more shows added to the lineup: Smeshariki, Viva Pinata, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King are all confirmed to be joining. Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless, this new lineup suggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure! Write a follow up where fall promos start airing, Smeshariki is renamed GoGoRiki, and we didn't expect the show staying to be this one D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many.

CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star Joined Mar 23, 2007 Messages 14,881 Location Wisconsin August 29, 2008 #33 So, it's official, everyone. The new CW4K!DS lineup has been confirmed, and yes, the "Animal Hour" with Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki is happening. Honestly, I'm kind of relieved to see the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic hour go. Skunk Fu!, as quirky as it is, never really felt like the right lead-in for Chaotic. The tone just didn't match, and it always seemed a bit disjointed. It worked much better when it was paired with something like Horrid Henry, where the transition felt a lot smoother and the audience overlap seemed more natural. Here's how the new lineup is looking: 07:00 AM GoGoRiki 07:30 AM Skunk Fu! 08:00 AM Huntik 08:30 AM Sonic 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Dinosaur King 10:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer 10:30 AM Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's It really seems like they're aiming to create distinct blocks within the overall lineup to cater to different tastes, with the "Animal Hour" serving as a light-hearted, comedic break from the more intense action that surrounds it. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it pans out. More than anything, I'm glad the network is exploring diverse programming strategies to keep the Saturday morning tradition alive and interesting. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages 28,860 Location The Grid August 29, 2008 #34 I have to agree on the relief of seeing the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing ending. The two shows just never meshed well in terms of audience or tone. The "Animal Hour" feels like a clever pivot towards creating a more cohesive viewing experience, especially for younger audiences or those looking for something more light-hearted. The rest of the lineup looks solid too. It's a good mix of adventure, action, and humor that could really appeal across the board. Plus, it's nice to see programs like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer getting spotlights. Those could really anchor the lineup with strong viewership numbers. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE Joined Sep 27, 2005 Messages 2,302 Location USA August 29, 2008 #35 The new lineup definitely seems to be playing to the strengths of each show, and it's great to see the network taking creative risks with the "Animal Hour." It's a smart way to diversify the programming while keeping a thematic link between shows. This could really help in building a strong identity for CW4K!DS as a block...
CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star Joined Mar 23, 2007 Messages 14,881 Location Wisconsin September 5, 2008 #37 In a surprising twist that none of us saw coming, CW4K!DS just dropped a last-minute addition to the new lineup that has everyone talking. At 11:00 AM, right after Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, they're bringing back... get this, Jackie Chan Adventures. Yes, you heard that right. Jackie Chan Adventures is making its grand return to Saturday mornings, and I'm honestly shocked but totally here for it. Here's the updated lineup with the addition: 07:00 AM GoGoRiki 07:30 AM Skunk Fu! 08:00 AM Huntik 08:30 AM Sonic 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Dinosaur King 10:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer 10:30 AM Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's 11:00 AM Jackie Chan Adventures This is a game-changer. Jackie Chan Adventures has a dedicated fanbase that's been hoping for a rerun or revival for years. Bringing it back not only pulls in the nostalgia factor but also adds a unique mix of action-adventure and comedy that complements the direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading with this new lineup. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages 28,860 Location The Grid September 5, 2008 #38 I'm genuinely floored by the return of Jackie Chan Adventures. It's a bold move, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Following up Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's with Jackie Chan Adventures adds a strong one-two punch to the later morning slot, capturing both the action-oriented audience and those craving a bit of comedic relief. This revival is a testament to the timeless appeal of Jackie Chan Adventures and its ability to draw viewers. There's a real strategy in tapping into the nostalgia of older viewers while introducing the series to a new generation. CW4K!DS is playing their cards right, showing they're not afraid to surprise their audience with unexpected, yet welcome, additions. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE Joined Sep 27, 2005 Messages 2,302 Location USA September 5, 2008 #39 Jackie Chan Adventures coming back is an absolute power move.

It's a beloved series that spans across multiple age groups, ensuring that older fans relive their childhood while newer, younger fans get to experience its magic for the first time. This reshuffle genuinely positions CW4K!DS as a formidable contender for the best Saturday morning lineup, balancing new hits with tried...

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.

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.

Looks like we're getting a bunch more shows added to the lineup: Smeshariki, Viva Pinata, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King are all confirmed to be joining. Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless, this new lineup suggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure! Write a follow up where fall promos start airing, Smeshariki is renamed GoGoRiki, and we didn't expect the show staying to be this one D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many. Write a follow up saying they're glad to see the SF-Chaotic hour go, considering Skunk isn't really the best to come before Chaotic, and it was better when it was paired with Henry, Also we have the new lineup, which confirms the Animal Hourrunning from 7am to 12pm as usual, also Chaotic has moved to 11am ending the odd pairing we've seen since June 21st
CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 5, 2008 #33 Alright, the new CW4K!DS fall lineup has officially been unveiled, and it's running from 7 am to 12 pm as always. With all the changes we've been discussing, it's interesting to see how everything has been slotted in. Plus, Chaotic has finally been moved to 11 am, ending the somewhat odd pairing it had since June 21st. Here's the comprehensive rundown for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM GoGoRiki 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Viva Pinata 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Sonic 10:00 AM Dinosaur King 10:30 AM Huntik: Secrets & Seekers 11:00 AM Chaotic 11:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer Looks like "Animal Hour" is somewhat of a morning starter with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! back-to-back, setting a lighter, humorous tone early on. Then, moving into a more diverse mix with something for everyone from adventure seekers in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic to the TCG enthusiasts with Chaotic rounding it out before TMNT: Back to the Sewer caps the morning. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 5, 2008 #34 This new lineup definitely showcases a wide array of genres. Happy to see Chaotic getting a more fitting spot at 11 am, creating a good lead-in for TMNT: Back to the Sewer. The "Animal Hour" with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! is a playful way to kick things off, appealing directly to the younger crowd. I'm particularly excited about The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic--both have solid fanbases and deliver on the action and adventure fronts. Huntik is a bit of a wildcard for me, but given its positioning, it seems to bridge the transition from fantasy adventure to the strategic gameplay of Chaotic quite nicely. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 5, 2008 #35 The new lineup seems like a strategic blend of humor, action, and adventure, which could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It's interesting to see a move towards thematic blocks, with the early focus on humor transitioning into more adventure and fantasy-based shows. Chaotic's move to 11 am is also a smart decision. It acts as a nice segue into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer, providing a solid one-two punch of action and strategy that could keep viewers engaged right until noon. All in all, CW4K!DS seems to be really stepping up their game with this new ...
CHATBOT: D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 12, 2008 #37 I've got to say, I'm really relieved to see the end of the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing from the lineup. It never quite felt right, did it? The tonal shift between the two was always a bit jarring--going from the whimsical, humorous world of Skunk Fu! directly into the complex, competitive environment of Chaotic just didn't mesh well. Thankfully, the introduction of Viva Pinata into the schedule has resolved this issue brilliantly. Positioning Viva Pinata after Skunk Fu! creates a much smoother transition in terms of content and tone. Both shows embrace a more lighthearted, fun-filled approach to their storytelling, making the progression into the more adventure and action-oriented shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic much more cohesive. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 12, 2008 #38 Absolutely, the Skunk Fu! and Chaotic mash-up was a headscratcher for a lot of us. It's like trying to mix oil and water--two fundamentally different properties that just refuse to blend. The inclusion of Viva Pinata as a buffer of sorts is a game changer. It delicately walks the line between whimsy and adventure, making it a perfect bridge between the imaginative chaos of Skunk Fu! and the more strategic depth of Chaotic. This revised structure makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it'll make it easier for kids (and, let's be honest, adults too) to stay glued to the TV, comfortably transitioning from one show's energy to the next without the abrupt thematic shifts we were dealing with before. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 12, 2008 #39 The Skunk Fu!-Chaotic combination was one of those experiments that sounded good on paper but just didn't translate well in practice. Now that Viva Pinata has taken its rightful place in the lineup, bridging the gap between Skunk Fu!'s goofiness and the more intense, plot-driven narratives that follow, the whole morning feels more unified. It's clear now that Viva Pinata is the missing piece that was needed to round out the early morning segment. Its vibrant, animated world not only complements Skunk Fu!'s humor but also gently ushers viewers towards the excitement and drama of the shows that follow. CW4K!DS seems to have found its rhythm, making for a lineup that's both entertaining and sensibly st...

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.

Looks like we're getting a bunch more shows added to the lineup: Smeshariki, Viva Pinata, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King are all confirmed to be joining. Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However,a Summer lineup promo aired last week, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around. One of them is The Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a relief, but it leaves us wondering what the other show could be. Any guesses or wishes on what it should be? CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 1, 2008 #17 That's a loaded lineup! Happy to see more variety coming to CW4K!DS, especially with the inclusion of Sonic and Dinosaur King. Those could draw in quite the crowd. The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone. But regardless, thisthe new lineup suggests CW4K!DS is pushing hard to broaden its appeal and compete with other Saturday morning blocks. bigddan11 Justice must be served! JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX August 1, 2008 #19 These new shows are a bold move for CW4K!DS, aiming to blend nostalgic favorites with fresh faces. Smeshariki and Viva Pinata are unexpected but welcome additions to diversify the content, which has mostly been action-oriented up till now. It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, andand the character announcing it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure! Write a follow up where fall promos start airing, Smeshariki is renamed GoGoRiki, and we didn't expect the show staying to be this one D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many.

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...

Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure! Write a follow up where fall promos start airing, Smeshariki is renamed GoGoRiki, and we didn't expect the show staying to be this one D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 5, 2008 #33 Alright, the new CW4K!DS fall lineup has officially been unveiled, and it's running from 7 am to 12 pm as always. With all the changes we've been discussing, it's interesting to see how everything has been slotted in. Plus, Chaotic has finally been moved to 11 am, ending the somewhat odd pairing it had since June 21st. Here's the comprehensive rundown for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM GoGoRiki 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Viva Pinata 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Sonic 10:00 AM Dinosaur King 10:30 AM Huntik: Secrets & Seekers 11:00 AM Chaotic 11:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer Looks like "Animal Hour" is somewhat of a morning starter with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! back-to-back, setting a lighter, humorous tone early on. Then, moving into a more diverse mix with something for everyone from adventure seekers in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic to the TCG enthusiasts with Chaotic rounding it out before TMNT: Back to the Sewer caps the morning. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 5, 2008 #34 This new lineup definitely showcases a wide array of genres. Happy to see Chaotic getting a more fitting spot at 11 am, creating a good lead-in for TMNT: Back to the Sewer. The "Animal Hour" with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! is a playful way to kick things off, appealing directly to the younger crowd. I'm particularly excited about The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic--both have solid fanbases and deliver on the action and adventure fronts. Huntik is a bit of a wildcard for me, but given its positioning, it seems to bridge the transition from fantasy adventure to the strategic gameplay of Chaotic quite nicely. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 5, 2008 #35 The new lineup seems like a strategic blend of humor, action, and adventure, which could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It's interesting to see a move towards thematic blocks, with the early focus on humor transitioning into more adventure and fantasy-based shows. Chaotic's move to 11 am is also a smart decision. It acts as a nice segue into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer, providing a solid one-two punch of action and strategy that could keep viewers engaged right until noon. All in all, CW4K!DS seems to be really stepping up their game with this new schedule. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 5, 2008 #36 The balance in the new lineup looks promising. Starting off with lighthearted, comedic shows like GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! makes for a gentle lead into the morning, potentially capturing a younger audience from the get-go. I'm especially pleased with how they've positioned shows to gradually build up to more intense, action-oriented programming. It's a pity we had to say goodbye to some of the old favorites, but this fresh lineup seems like it could bring something new and exciting to the table. The strategic placement of Chaotic before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer could keep viewers hooked and round off the morning on a high note. Let's hope this new direction pays off for CW4K!DS! Write a follow up where they're glad to see the back of the Skunk-Chaotic pairing, as it didn't fit right at all, Viva Pinata has solved this issue D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 12, 2008 #37 I've got to say, I'm really relieved to see the end of the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing from the lineup. It never quite felt right, did it? The tonal shift between the two was always a bit jarring--going from the whimsical, humorous world of Skunk Fu! directly into the complex, competitive environment of Chaotic just didn't mesh well. Thankfully, the introduction of Viva Pinata into the schedule has resolved this issue brilliantly. Positioning Viva Pinata after Skunk Fu! creates a much smoother transition in terms of content and tone. Both shows embrace a more lighthearted, fun-filled approach to their storytelling, making the progression into the more adventure and action-oriented shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic much more cohesive. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 12, 2008 #38 Absolutely, the Skunk Fu! and Chaotic mash-up was a headscratcher for a lot of us. It's like trying to mix oil and water--two fundamentally different properties that just refuse to blend. The inclusion of Viva Pinata as a buffer of sorts is a game changer. It delicately walks the line between whimsy and adventure, making it a perfect bridge between the imaginative chaos of Skunk Fu! and the more strategic depth of Chaotic. This revised structure makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it'll make it easier for kids (and, let's be honest, adults too) to stay glued to the TV, comfortably transitioning from one show's energy to the next without the abrupt thematic shifts we were dealing with before. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 12, 2008 #39 The Skunk Fu!-Chaotic combination was one of those experiments that sounded good on paper but just didn't translate well in practice. Now that Viva Pinata has taken its rightful place in the lineup, bridging the gap between Skunk Fu!'s goofiness and the more intense, plot-driven narratives that follow, the whole morning feels more unified. It's clear now that Viva Pinata is the missing piece that was needed to round out the early morning segment. Its vibrant, animated world not only complements Skunk Fu!'s humor but also gently ushers viewers towards the excitement and drama of the shows that follow. CW4K!DS seems to have found its rhythm, making for a lineup that's both entertaining and sensibly structured. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 12, 2008 #40 I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the disconnect in the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing. Moving Chaotic to a later slot and bringing in Viva Pinata was a clever move by CW4K!DS. Viva Pinata, with its colorful, engaging world full of fun and adventures, fits perfectly with the vibe following Skunk Fu!. It's these subtle scheduling nuances that can really make or break a viewer's experience. With Viva Pinata now smoothing the transition, the lineup feels more coherent, maintaining the upbeat, adventurous spirit without the abrupt mood swing that the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic shift used to bring. Here's to hoping this new arrangement helps keep viewers engaged and excited for what's to come each Saturday morning.

The lineup has been strategically reorganized to create a more cohesive viewing experience, with Viva Pinata acting as a buffer between the lighter and more intense shows. The block's decision to keep Skunk Fu! as a holdover from the Kids' WB lineup has been surprising to many viewers but has added a unique charm and humor to the morning programming. The strategic placement of shows like Chaotic and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer has helped maintain viewer engagement throughout the morning. Overall, CW4K!DS continues to evolve and adapt to the changing tastes of its audience, offering a blend of classic favorites and new additions that cater to a diverse group of young viewers. The block remains a Saturday morning staple for children and families, providing entertainment and excitement each week.

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?

Not to mention, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer are making their way to our screens as well. However, with all these additions, it seems like only two Kids' WB shows are confirmed to stick around.

The introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT: Back to the Sewer is sure to shake things up too. As for the Kids' WB holdovers, if Spider-Man's one, I'm really hoping the other is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's classic and has universal appeal. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if they opt for something like Skunk Fu! again due to its unique style. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 1, 2008 #18 The new additions sound exciting! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what Huntik is all about. Also, Sonic always has a dedicated fanbase, so that's a smart move. Agreed on hoping the second show that sticks around is Tom & Jerry Tales. It's a timeless classic that appeals to pretty much everyone.

It's interesting how they're managing the balance between new and existing shows. The Spectacular Spider-Man sticking around is a no-brainer, but I'm intrigued to see what the second holdover from Kids' WB will be. I have a soft spot for Ben 10, but I'm not holding my breath. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 1, 2008 #20 With every new announcement, CW4K!DS seems to be cementing its position as a Saturday morning staple. The variety in the new lineup speaks volumes about their strategy moving forward. As for the remaining Kids' WB show, my guess is as good as anyone's, but I'm leaning towards something that complements the action and adventure theme they're building on--perhaps Ben 10, given its popularity and franchise potential? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how these changes impact the overall viewership and if these new additions can capture the audience's imagination as the network hopes. Write a follow up on the 8th of August where it's either Skunk, Tom or Ben staying, and we're gonna find out when they start showing fall promos D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 8, 2008 #21 Hey everyone, the latest word on CW4K!DS is that we'll soon find out which of the remaining Kids' WB shows will stay alongside The Spectacular Spider-Man. Looks like it's down to Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10. They're supposed to start airing fall promos next week, and that's when we'll get our confirmation. The anticipation's killing me! Each of these shows has its own unique draw. Skunk Fu! brings that quirky humor and style, Tom & Jerry is the classic chase comedy that never gets old, and Ben 10 has that action-packed, superhero appeal. Personally, I'm rooting for Ben 10 to stay; it's got a strong following and could synergize well with the other action-oriented shows in the new lineup. What's everyone hoping for? Any predictions based on the new direction CW4K!DS seems to be heading in? veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 8, 2008 #22 Man, this is a tough call. Each show appeals to different segments of the audience. I'd say Tom & Jerry Tales has the broadest appeal given its legacy, but CW4K!DS seems to be leaning a bit more into the action/adventure vibe lately. That makes me think Ben 10 has a strong shot. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see which direction they decide to lean into. Will they continue banking on the nostalgia factor with Tom & Jerry Tales, or double down on action with Ben 10? Can't wait for those promos to drop! CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 8, 2008 #23 I'm betting on Tom & Jerry Tales sticking around. It's just too much of a classic to let go, and it offers a nice comedic break from the action-driven narratives of the other shows. Plus, it's something that parents and kids can enjoy together, adding to its staying power. That said, the action genre is definitely getting a lot of focus with the new additions, making Ben 10 a strong contender as well. If they're looking to fully refresh the lineup with a more cohesive theme, that might edge out the competition. Guess we'll find out soon enough with those promos. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 8, 2008 #24 Honestly, it's a close call between Tom & Jerry Tales and Ben 10 for me. Both have strong arguments for staying. Tom & Jerry is iconic and appeals across generations, making it a safe bet for drawing in viewers. On the other hand, Ben 10 aligns perfectly with the action-fantasy vibe of the new lineup and has a dedicated fanbase. I'm leaning slightly towards Ben 10 because it feels more in line with the direction CW4K!DS is taking, but I wouldn't count out Tom & Jerry Tales just yet. It's going to be an interesting reveal, for sure! Write a follow up where fall promos start airing, Smeshariki is renamed GoGoRiki, and we didn't expect the show staying to be this one D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 15, 2008 #25 Well, the fall promos for CW4K!DS have started airing, and there's quite the surprise twist--none of us saw this coming. First off, a quick note: Smeshariki has been renamed GoGoRiki. That's right, the quirky show from overseas is getting a localized name tweak for its American audience. But here's the real shocker: out of Skunk Fu!, Tom & Jerry Tales, and Ben 10, the show that's sticking around is... Skunk Fu!. I know, right? While many of us were betting on either the classic vibe of Tom & Jerry Tales or the action-packed Ben 10, it turns out that the unique charm of Skunk Fu! has earned it a spot in the revamped lineup. The promos gave us brief glimpses into what we can expect from the new shows like GoGoRiki, Huntik, Sonic, and Dinosaur King, alongside the returning The Spectacular Spider-Man. They're really leaning into a diverse mix of adventure, humor, and action. With Skunk Fu! staying, it seems CW4K!DS is aiming to maintain a slice of the unique and offbeat humor that sets the show apart from more conventional action or classic comedy fare. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 15, 2008 #26 Definitely didn't see Skunk Fu! being the show to stay. It's an interesting choice for sure, and it does add some variety to the lineup, blending in that humorous, quirky edge amidst the action-heavy additions. The GoGoRiki rename was unexpected too, but names aside, it looks like CW4K!DS is gearing up for a season with a lot of fresh flavors. Now that we know Skunk Fu! is staying, I'm curious to see how it'll be positioned among all the new content. Will it serve as a light-hearted breather amongst more intense shows like TMNT: Back to the Sewer and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's? Or perhaps it'll carve out its own loyal following who tune in specifically for the antics of Skunk and the gang. Either way, Fall is shaping up to be an interesting season for CW4K!DS. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 15, 2008 #27 Skunk Fu!, huh? Now that's a curveball. Guess it shows CW4K!DS is willing to take some risks and not just go with the expected choices. It could pay off by distinguishing the block with its unique humor and storytelling style. As for GoGoRiki, the rebranding might help it catch on more easily with the target audience here, making it more relatable and easier to market. This all points towards a very strategic refresh of the lineup, aiming to cater to a wide range of tastes while still keeping a foot in the quirky, comedic side of things with shows like Skunk Fu!. I'm definitely intrigued to see how the audience responds to this mix once the new season kicks off. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 15, 2008 #28 Well, Skunk Fu! taking the spot truly was the wild card in this whole shake-up. It shows that CW4K!DS isn't just playing it safe and is actively looking to differentiate their block. With the addition of GoGoRiki (still wrapping my head around that name change), and now with Skunk Fu!'s blend of humor, it's clear they're looking to offer a broader entertainment palette. What remains to be seen is how this all meshes together once the season starts. Will the balance of action, adventure, and humor attract a wider audience, or will it leave fans missing the more straightforward action punch of something like Ben 10 or the classic antics of Tom & Jerry? Only time will tell, but it's shaping up to be a season full of surprises. Write a follow up where they think they could air SF and GGR together as an Animal Hour, also they're bummed it wasn't B10, T&JT or WOQ staying, but they're gonna enjoy those shows before they're scrubbed away next month D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin August 22, 2008 #29 Had a bit of a brainstorm after watching the latest promos--what if CW4K!DS is planning to pair Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki (still getting used to that name change) together as some sort of "Animal Hour"? Thematically, it makes sense. Both shows feature anthropomorphic animal characters and could offer a solid hour of quirky, animal-themed adventures. It could be a clever way to carve out a unique niche in the Saturday morning lineup. As much as I'm bummed that it wasn't Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, or World of Quest sticking around, I'm starting to see the potential in the new direction. Still, it's going to be hard saying goodbye to those shows next month. I guess we'll just have to enjoy them while we can, huh? It's a bittersweet moment, knowing these next few weeks are our last chance to catch them before they're scrubbed away for the new season. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid August 22, 2008 #30 The "Animal Hour" idea sounds pretty plausible and could be a smart move for CW4K!DS. It'd offer a lighter, humorous break from the more intense shows that will be surrounding it. Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki already have that lighthearted, comedic vibe that could mesh well together, creating a seamless, fun-filled hour for kids. And yeah, it's a shame about Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest. They had a good run, and it's always tough to see favorites get taken off the schedule. I'll definitely be making the most of these next few viewings. Here's hoping the new content manages to fill those shoes and then some. It's an end of an era, but also the start of something new and possibly exciting. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA August 22, 2008 #31 The more I think about it, the "Animal Hour" could be a strategic move to appeal to a younger audience while still keeping the content light and accessible. Pairing Skunk Fu! with GoGoRiki creates a thematic continuity that could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It seems like they're thinking outside the box, which could pay off. As much as we'll miss Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest, I guess change is the only constant in the world of television. It'll be interesting to see if this gamble attracts a new viewer base or if fans of the departing shows will tune out. Either way, these next few weeks are our chance to say a proper goodbye to the old guard. Let's savor it. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA August 22, 2008 #32 "Animal Hour" could indeed add a fresh twist to Saturday mornings. There's a charm to Skunk Fu! and GoGoRiki that, when combined, could offer something distinctive and engaging for the audience. It's clever programming if that's the route they decide to go. Losing Ben 10, Tom & Jerry Tales, and World of Quest is tough, though. They each brought something special to the table, and it's sad to see them phased out. But I guess this is a reminder to enjoy these shows while they're still around. Here's to hoping they get a fitting send-off in the next few weeks, and that the new lineup can live up to the legacy they're leaving behind. Change is always hard, but who knows? Maybe this "Animal Hour" will become the new favorite for many. D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 5, 2008 #33 Alright, the new CW4K!DS fall lineup has officially been unveiled, and it's running from 7 am to 12 pm as always. With all the changes we've been discussing, it's interesting to see how everything has been slotted in. Plus, Chaotic has finally been moved to 11 am, ending the somewhat odd pairing it had since June 21st. Here's the comprehensive rundown for Saturdays: 07:00 AM Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM GoGoRiki 08:00 AM Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM Viva Pinata 09:00 AM The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM Sonic 10:00 AM Dinosaur King 10:30 AM Huntik: Secrets & Seekers 11:00 AM Chaotic 11:30 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer Looks like "Animal Hour" is somewhat of a morning starter with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! back-to-back, setting a lighter, humorous tone early on. Then, moving into a more diverse mix with something for everyone from adventure seekers in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic to the TCG enthusiasts with Chaotic rounding it out before TMNT: Back to the Sewer caps the morning. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 5, 2008 #34 This new lineup definitely showcases a wide array of genres. Happy to see Chaotic getting a more fitting spot at 11 am, creating a good lead-in for TMNT: Back to the Sewer. The "Animal Hour" with GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! is a playful way to kick things off, appealing directly to the younger crowd. I'm particularly excited about The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic--both have solid fanbases and deliver on the action and adventure fronts. Huntik is a bit of a wildcard for me, but given its positioning, it seems to bridge the transition from fantasy adventure to the strategic gameplay of Chaotic quite nicely. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 5, 2008 #35 The new lineup seems like a strategic blend of humor, action, and adventure, which could really work in CW4K!DS's favor. It's interesting to see a move towards thematic blocks, with the early focus on humor transitioning into more adventure and fantasy-based shows. Chaotic's move to 11 am is also a smart decision. It acts as a nice segue into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer, providing a solid one-two punch of action and strategy that could keep viewers engaged right until noon. All in all, CW4K!DS seems to be really stepping up their game with this new schedule. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 5, 2008 #36 The balance in the new lineup looks promising. Starting off with lighthearted, comedic shows like GoGoRiki and Skunk Fu! makes for a gentle lead into the morning, potentially capturing a younger audience from the get-go. I'm especially pleased with how they've positioned shows to gradually build up to more intense, action-oriented programming. It's a pity we had to say goodbye to some of the old favorites, but this fresh lineup seems like it could bring something new and exciting to the table. The strategic placement of Chaotic before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer could keep viewers hooked and round off the morning on a high note. Let's hope this new direction pays off for CW4K!DS! Write a follow up where they're glad to see the back of the Skunk-Chaotic pairing, as it didn't fit right at all, Viva Pinata has solved this issue D Dubbs Wish Upon A Star JoinedMar 23, 2007 Messages14,881 LocationWisconsin September 12, 2008 #37 I've got to say, I'm really relieved to see the end of the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing from the lineup. It never quite felt right, did it? The tonal shift between the two was always a bit jarring--going from the whimsical, humorous world of Skunk Fu! directly into the complex, competitive environment of Chaotic just didn't mesh well. Thankfully, the introduction of Viva Pinata into the schedule has resolved this issue brilliantly. Positioning Viva Pinata after Skunk Fu! creates a much smoother transition in terms of content and tone. Both shows embrace a more lighthearted, fun-filled approach to their storytelling, making the progression into the more adventure and action-oriented shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man and Sonic much more cohesive. veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid September 12, 2008 #38 Absolutely, the Skunk Fu! and Chaotic mash-up was a headscratcher for a lot of us. It's like trying to mix oil and water--two fundamentally different properties that just refuse to blend. The inclusion of Viva Pinata as a buffer of sorts is a game changer. It delicately walks the line between whimsy and adventure, making it a perfect bridge between the imaginative chaos of Skunk Fu! and the more strategic depth of Chaotic. This revised structure makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience. I think it'll make it easier for kids (and, let's be honest, adults too) to stay glued to the TV, comfortably transitioning from one show's energy to the next without the abrupt thematic shifts we were dealing with before. CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA September 12, 2008 #39 The Skunk Fu!-Chaotic combination was one of those experiments that sounded good on paper but just didn't translate well in practice. Now that Viva Pinata has taken its rightful place in the lineup, bridging the gap between Skunk Fu!'s goofiness and the more intense, plot-driven narratives that follow, the whole morning feels more unified. It's clear now that Viva Pinata is the missing piece that was needed to round out the early morning segment. Its vibrant, animated world not only complements Skunk Fu!'s humor but also gently ushers viewers towards the excitement and drama of the shows that follow. CW4K!DS seems to have found its rhythm, making for a lineup that's both entertaining and sensibly structured. simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator JoinedAug 19, 2006 Messages2,662 LocationMaine, USA September 12, 2008 #40 I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the disconnect in the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic pairing. Moving Chaotic to a later slot and bringing in Viva Pinata was a clever move by CW4K!DS. Viva Pinata, with its colorful, engaging world full of fun and adventures, fits perfectly with the vibe following Skunk Fu!. It's these subtle scheduling nuances that can really make or break a viewer's experience. With Viva Pinata now smoothing the transition, the lineup feels more coherent, maintaining the upbeat, adventurous spirit without the abrupt mood swing that the Skunk Fu!-Chaotic shift used to bring. Here's to hoping this new arrangement helps keep viewers engaged and excited for what's to come each Saturday morning.

CHATBOT: Given this setup and the context of the previous discussion, let's continue the conversation as if users are speculating and reacting to potential schedule changes with the arrival of "Chaotic," "TMNT," and "Yu-Gi-Oh" to the CW4K!DS lineup. --- **TurboFanatic** TurboFanatic Need for Speed and Animation! Joined: Mar 3, 2006 Messages: 3,527 Location: California May 25, 2008 #11 I'm really hoping they don't drop **World of Quest** for something like Chaotic. WoQ has really grown on me and it would be a shame to see it go before it gets a proper run. **Eon Kid** might be the one getting the axe, considering it hasn't been mentioned as a mainstay like Ben 10 or Tom and Jerry. **CyberNinja** CyberNinja Gamer and Cartoon Enthusiast Joined: Jan 15, 2007 Messages: 5,100 Location: New York May 25, 2008 #12 I wouldn't mind seeing **Horrid Henry** go, to be honest. It's funny at times, but doesn't hold a candle to the likes of **Spectacular Spider-Man** or even **Johnny Test**. With **TMNT: Fast Forward** coming in, it seems like a likely candidate for replacement, unless they're considering a double dose of TMNT by keeping both. **AnimationAce** AnimationAce Old School Cartoon Fan Joined: Apr 21, 2004 Messages: 7,833 Location: Michigan May 25, 2008 #13 Does anyone else think **Skunk Fu!** is on the chopping block? It's cute, but forgettable. With Yu-Gi-Oh coming back to the lineup, they'll need to make room, and Skunk Fu! seems likely. I'm just relieved **Spectacular Spider-Man** is safe; it's easily one of the best shows on right now. **ComicBookGuy** ComicBookGuy Everyone's a Critic Joined: Jun 12, 2005 Messages: 9,456 Location: Springfield May 25, 2008 #14 Honestly, **Johnny Test** has had plenty of airtime; wouldn't be a loss if it got replaced. But knowing the network, they'll probably keep it around for its popularity among the younger audience. **Eon Kid** and maybe even **Horrid Henry** seem like the likely choices to get cut. As long as they keep quality shows and maybe introduce some fresh ones, I'm good. **MangaMaster** MangaMaster Anime & Manga Fanatic Joined: Oct 9, 2003 Messages: 12,075 Location: Tokyo May 25, 2008 #15 With TMNT and Yu-Gi-Oh joining, it's clear they're banking on nostalgia and brand recognition.

Joined Jul 20, 2007 Messages 1,979 Location PA June 5, 2008 #11 Just saw an update! Looks like The Spectacular Spider-Man is staying on the schedule. They're probably looking to keep it around with Spider-Man: Homecoming coming out soon. Definitely a smart move; that show's a gem. Also, heard from a pretty reliable source that World of Quest and Skunk Fu! aren't going anywhere either. Seems like they're trying to capitalize on the Kung Fu Panda hype by keeping Skunk Fu! around, and honestly, I'm not complaining. The shows we're losing? Rumor has it Horrid Henry, Eon Kid, and surprisingly, Johnny Test might be getting the boot. Not sure how I feel about Johnny Test leaving; it's like a guilty pleasure, but the other two? Can't say I'll miss them. veemonjosh veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages 28,860 Location The Grid June 5, 2008 #12 Yeah, I heard about Spectacular Spider-Man too. Pretty excited that it's staying; that show honestly deserves more praise. About World of Quest staying, that's great news! I've been worried about it getting axed before we could see how it ends. For Johnny Test, I have a feeling they might still air reruns until they phase it out completely, or maybe it'll find a home in some other block. As for Horrid Henry and Eon Kid, they had their moments, but I'm not particularly torn about them leaving. CartoonOverlord CartoonOverlord Head of HATE Joined Sep 27, 2005 Messages 2,302 Location USA June 6, 2008 #13 Definitely stoked for more Spectacular Spider-Man. That show is solid gold for superhero fans. As for Johnny Test, it's a bit of a shocker to see it go. Thought it was a mainstay for sure. But then again, everything changes eventually in these blocks. I'm kind of sad to see Eon Kid go; felt like it had potential. But what can you do? On the bright side, TMNT: Fast Forward and the anticipation for the new Ninja Turtles series has me all kinds of excited. Here's hoping they keep up the momentum and bring in some fresh, engaging content! simpsonsfan simpsonsfan Froakie - Bubble Frog Pokemon Staff member Moderator Joined Aug 19, 2006 Messages 2,662 Location Maine, USA June 6, 2008 #14 It's always a mixed bag when these changes happen, isn't it?

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.

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? CartoonOverlord CartoonOverlord Head of HATE JoinedSep 27, 2005 Messages2,302 LocationUSA May 24, 2008 #5 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.

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?

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.

Also, the episodes are available for viewing on 4kids' website as well as on DVD. I think it's a bit too soon to be airing the show again...but maybe that's just me, I'm not sure. :sad: CyberCubed Well-Known Member JoinedSep 25, 2004 Messages11,300 LocationNY May 24, 2008 #13 TMNT on two different channels? 4kids is crazy, as usual. Sketch Sketch not like those other old guys JoinedFeb 26, 2002 Messages66,869 LocationWashington May 24, 2008 #14 Well not THAT crazy. 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. 08:00 - Skunk Fu (or Johnny Test) 08:30 - Tom and Jerry Tales 09:00 - Tom and Jerry Tales (or World of Quest if two Spidey) 09:30 - The Spectacular Spider-Man (or World of Quest if two T&J) 10:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:30 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:00 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:30 - Eon Kid (hopefully the final few episodes or World of Quest if two T&J and two Spidey or Skunk and JT both stay) Needless to say, lots of variables but I'm very confident that Fast Forward will get an hour at least initially. codyjones2105 Member JoinedFeb 11, 2007 Messages178 Locationstrawtown May 24, 2008 #15 Sketch said: Well not THAT crazy.

Click to expand... You know what....I never even gave that any thought at all. That's a very good point you've made, and I now realize that this would definitely be good move to make, especially to attact more viewers to the Turtles. When I got to first reading this, I was thinking only about how much it had already been shown, and not about those who've never seen the series due to their area only having the CW, but not FOX, where the other 4kidsTV airs. I was into it for a little while, which was why I am still currently using this username I made up forum convolast year. Now I'm starting to catch up again with the 2k3 series, since I've been away from the Turtles for a long, long time and have never really seen all of it. The show I grew up with mostly was the 80s show, and that's still my favorite. :) I'm also quite excited about the new series in the Fall.

(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 staying, likely to capitalize on Homecoming, Also WOQ is staying, as is SF, the latter is probs to cash in ona possible survivor simply because of the upcoming film Kung Fu Panda,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? Daxdiv Daxdiv Does this look like the face of mercy?

Who knows after all a good amount of the TMNT 2K3 writers were also Gargoyles writers. Maybe they could come together and have more Gargoyles writers on Spectacular in Later seasons. That includes Marty Isenberg who actually wrote Future Tense. While Isenberg did not write SaiNW it's not too much of a stretch if he helped out. Also why would that episode make Greg want to keep his distance? Because he made a comment that an episode like Future Tense could not be made today and then TMNT 2003 showed that it could? I would think he would be happy that he was wrong in that case. Movie06 said: Oh, that's right. But what if 4Kids somehow brainwashed both Sony and Marvel?

As for why they're doubling Tom & Jerry and Spectacular Spider-Man, yes, it's because of ratings. That's how TV scheduling is dictated, so I guess you better get use to it as an excuse.

In other words, it isn't going to happen so there's no need to worry. Anyway, it seems like they've barely made any changes with the CW4Kids. I do think that airing Fast Forword is a good move on their part. While that whole season aired like three times before and is already on DVD, it does give the people who haven't seen them on 4KidsTV a chance to see the most recent season before they head on with the new season this fall. I do agree that it might also be better if they aired some of the other seasons since that would give the viewers a better idea of the quality of TMNT, but hopefully the new season will show them that as well. I don't know which repeat slot they'll get rid of for this airing of Fast Forward. I have a feeling that it will either be Spiderman or Tom and Jerry, depending on which one has overall better ratings. veemonjosh veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid May 25, 2008 #37 Light Lucario said: I don't know which repeat slot they'll get rid of for this airing of Fast Forward.

Tom & Jerry may get the highest ratings, but it has also aired all its episodes, and it has aired the epsodes more often than Spidey already.

Sonic_Eclipse said: Agreed, it'd also be safer if they did it that way or else we'll end up with another Fast Forward situation were the shows 13 episodes get rerun to death. The only problem there is Spectacular has 26 episodes, not 13. The other 13 weren't scheuled to air until fall, but that is always subject to change since a different company has taken over the block. Also, summer is the time when reruns run rampant anyway, with the exception of CN, so it'll make no difference that they rerun a lot of episodes. Then again they could always surprise us and air TMNT Fast Forward from 9-10 replacing reruns of one slot of Spidey and T&JT, Also, I have the new lineup, Chaotic and YGOGX are coming and, you may wanna sit down.......... Write a continuation
CHATBOT: Given the extensive discussion and speculation around the CW4Kids programming, it's clear that the transition of KidsWB to CW4Kids resulted in a mix of continuity and changes in the programming lineup. With ongoing series like "The Spectacular Spider-Man" being a subject of concern for its continuation and placement in the schedule, and the introduction of TMNT: Fast Forward to CW4Kids, fans and viewers had a lot to speculate and share. The transfer of some shows from 4KidsTV to CW4Kids, such as TMNT: Fast Forward, along with the retention of popular series and the addition of new or continuing programs, including potential repeats and new seasons, show an attempt to blend continuity with refreshing content. The balance between maintaining high rating slots with shows like "Tom & Jerry Tales" and introducing new content, such as "Fast Forward," speaks to the challenge of keeping the programming engaging and relevant while also dealing with the expectations and nostalgia of the existing audience. It's worth noting that the decisions around programming, such as which slots are replaced or which series are doubled up, often come down to factors like ratings, target audience engagement, and strategic content placement to cater to both new and returning viewers. As with many network decisions, these are likely informed by a mix of viewer feedback, ratings data, and the strategic direction the network wishes to take with its branding and audience engagement. In a dynamic media environment, changes to children's programming blocks like CW4Kids are frequent as networks seek to keep their content engaging and competitive. The discussions around these changes reflect the investment of the audience in these programs, highlighting the challenges networks face in balancing changing content landscapes with audience expectations and nostalgia.
CHATBOT: I'll create a hypothetical continuation of the conversation in the forum, following the prompt. --- **ThreadTitleGuy**: You may wanna sit down? That sounds ominous. **bigddan11**: Yeah, it does, doesn't it? But this might actually be exciting news for a lot of us here. Got some insider info on the revamped schedule starting this Fall for CW4Kids. Here's the new lineup from 7am to 12pm. Brace yourselves: **07:00 AM - "Rescue Heroes" - New Series Launch!** First up, we're getting "Rescue Heroes" bright and early. It's a reboot of the early 2000s series, focusing on natural disaster heroes. Think of it as educational with a twist of action. **07:30 AM - "Pokemon: Crystal Journeys" - Exclusive to CW4Kids!** Yep, you heard it right. Pokemon is back with a new season exclusive to CW4Kids, featuring journeys in a new region with Crystal Pokemon. This is a big win for the block, honestly. **08:00 AM - "Yu-Gi-Oh! Neo Battles"** This isn't your typical Yu-Gi-Oh! show. They're apparently trying to bring in a mix of old characters for some nostalgia while introducing new duelists. Expect some high-stake battles and strategic gameplay. **08:30 AM - "Sonic Boom Adventures"** Sonic is making a splash with a new series, focusing more on adventures in various dimensions. There's supposed to be more emphasis on comedy and team dynamics. **09:00 AM - "Ninja Turtles: The Next Chapter"** TMNT is not going anywhere, folks. This new installment follows the turtles as they navigate new challenges in NYC, with a hint of extra-dimensional travels. Looks like they're keeping the action high and incorporating more sci-fi elements. **09:30 AM - "The Spectacular Spider-Man" - Continuing with New Episodes** Spider-Man keeps swinging with new episodes. Rumors suggest we'll be diving deeper into Peter Parker's challenges balancing high school life, friendships, and being a superhero. **10:00 AM - "MagiQuest Chronicles" - CW4Kids Original** A brand new original series based on the popular live-action game. It combines magic, myth, and mystery with a group of kids who discover they're the chosen ones, meant to save a magical realm. **10:30 AM - "Adventure Time with Finn & Jake" - Syndicated** Yes, you read it right.

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.

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?

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.

JoinedNov 11, 2003 Messages29,929 LocationOdessa, TX May 24, 2008 #10 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. warnerbroman Active Member JoinedJan 5, 2008 Messages11,490 LocationTexas May 24, 2008 #11 Sonic_Eclipse said: Also, will CW4Kids re-air The Batman for a little bit when The Dark Knight is released in July? I hope so codyjones2105 Member JoinedFeb 11, 2007 Messages178 Locationstrawtown May 24, 2008 #12 Fast Forward was an okay show, but it's already received a whole bunch of airtime between the Fall of 2006 and the earlier part of this year. Also, the episodes are available for viewing on 4kids' website as well as on DVD. I think it's a bit too soon to be airing the show again...but maybe that's just me, I'm not sure. :sad: CyberCubed Well-Known Member JoinedSep 25, 2004 Messages11,300 LocationNY May 24, 2008 #13 TMNT on two different channels? 4kids is crazy, as usual. Sketch Sketch not like those other old guys JoinedFeb 26, 2002 Messages66,869 LocationWashington May 24, 2008 #14 Well not THAT crazy. 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. 08:00 - Skunk Fu (or Johnny Test) 08:30 - Tom and Jerry Tales 09:00 - Tom and Jerry Tales (or World of Quest if two Spidey) 09:30 - The Spectacular Spider-Man (or World of Quest if two T&J) 10:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:30 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:00 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:30 - Eon Kid (hopefully the final few episodes or World of Quest if two T&J and two Spidey or Skunk and JT both stay) Needless to say, lots of variables but I'm very confident that Fast Forward will get an hour at least initially. codyjones2105 Member JoinedFeb 11, 2007 Messages178 Locationstrawtown May 24, 2008 #15 Sketch said: Well not THAT crazy.

Click to expand... You know what....I never even gave that any thought at all. That's a very good point you've made, and I now realize that this would definitely be good move to make, especially to attact more viewers to the Turtles. When I got to first reading this, I was thinking only about how much it had already been shown, and not about those who've never seen the series due to their area only having the CW, but not FOX, where the other 4kidsTV airs. I was into it for a little while, which was why I am still currently using this username I made up last year. Now I'm starting to catch up again with the 2k3 series, since I've been away from the Turtles for a long, long time and have never really seen all of it. The show I grew up with mostly was the 80s show, and that's still my favorite. :) I'm also quite excited about the new series in the Fall.

(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?

Who knows after all a good amount of the TMNT 2K3 writers wereAlso, Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are also Gargoyles writers. Maybe they could come together and have more Gargoyles writerscoming on Spectacular in Later seasons. That includes Marty Isenberg who actually wrote Future Tense. While Isenberg did not write SaiNW it's not too much of a stretch if he helped out. Also why would that episode make Greg want to keep his distance? Because he made a comment that an episode like Future Tense could not be made today andJune 21. Write a follow up convo talking some more, then TMNT 2003 showed that it could? I would think he would be happy that he was wrong in that case. Movie06 said: Oh, that's right. But what if 4Kids somehow brainwashed both Sony and Marvel?

It seems that Warner canceled all their series (Tom & Jerry Tales, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo, Legion, The Batman). As for why they're doubling Tom & Jerry and Spectacular Spider-Man, yes, it's because of ratings. That's how TV scheduling is dictated, so I guess you better get use to it as an excuse.

Just to clarify something, while it WAS canceled, you should be happy it at least got a proper series finale (actually, I love that WB actually took the time to give proper finales to ALL of their plot-centered shows that they canceled this year.

I seriously doubt that 4Kids would brainwash, as you put it, Sony and Marvel since they both seem to have much more say in the movies than 4Kids ever would. In other words, it isn't going to happen so there's no need to worry. Anyway, it seems like they've barely made any changes with the CW4Kids. I do think that airing Fast Forword is a good move on their part. While that whole season aired like three times before and is already on DVD, it does give the people who haven't seen them on 4KidsTV a chance to see the most recent season before they head on with the new season this fall. I do agree that it might also be better if they aired some of the other seasons since that would give the viewers a better idea of the quality of TMNT, but hopefully the new season will show them that as well. I don't know which repeat slot they'll get rid of for this airing of Fast Forward. I have a feeling that it will either be Spiderman or Tom and Jerry, depending on which one has overall better ratings. veemonjosh veemonjosh Stone free, do what I please JoinedSep 30, 2005 Messages28,860 LocationThe Grid May 25, 2008 #37 Light Lucario said: I don't know which repeat slot they'll get rid of for this airing of Fast Forward.

Tom & Jerry may get the highest ratings, but it has also aired all its episodes, and it has aired the epsodes more often than Spidey already.

Sonic_Eclipse said: Agreed, it'd also be safer if they did it that way or else we'll end up with another Fast Forward situation were the shows 13 episodes get rerun to death. The only problem there is Spectacular has 26 episodes, not 13. The other 13 weren't scheuled to air until fall, but that is always subject to change since a different company has taken over the block. Also, summer is the time when reruns run rampant anyway, with the exception of CN, so it'll make no difference that they rerun a lot of episodes. Then again they could always surprise us and air TMNT Fast Forward from 9-10 replacing reruns of one slot of Spidey and T&JT, Also, I have the new lineup, Chaotic and YGOGX are coming and, you may wanna sit down..........

CHATBOT: Understood! Since it's a fictional continuation, let's imagine how the conversation might progress, focusing on the feedback and speculation surrounding the new schedule with the inclusion of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX on June 21 as part of the CW4Kids changeover from Kids WB. --- **veemonjosh** Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages: 28,860 Location: The Grid May 25, 2008 #28 With the new additions of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX to the lineup, it shows CW4Kids is aiming for a stronger foothold in the gaming and strategy card game shows, much like 4KidsTV. Curious to see how they position these against the current lineup. Will this attract more of the older demographic back to Saturday mornings? **D Dubbs** May 25, 2008 #29 Bringing in Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX is a smart move. Those shows have a dedicated fan base, and integrating them could indeed pull in viewers who've drifted away. Interestingly, Yu-Gi-Oh has always had a home with 4Kids, so seeing GX continue under CW4Kids feels like a natural progression. **simpsonsfan** May 25, 2008 #30 I just hope the addition of these shows doesn't sideline the non-card game-related content. While I understand the appeal of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX, part of the charm of Saturday mornings has been the variety. Fingers crossed World of Quest gets to stay. **CartoonOverlord** May 25, 2008 #31 The strategy is clear; CW4Kids wants to dominate Saturday mornings with a blend of action, adventure, and gaming card shows. This could redefine Saturday morning cartoons for a new generation. Still, keeping a balance will be key to retaining a broad audience. **Sketch** May 25, 2008 #32 Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX coming in doesn't surprise me. What I am keen on is how CW4Kids will schedule these amidst other fan-favorites. They've got a solid block of action-packed content, but as others have said, balance is crucial. Hopefully, they've got a trick up their sleeve to ensure newer shows like World of Quest aren't overshadowed immediately. **creativerealms** May 25, 2008 #33 The real test will be in the ratings. Chaotic has its niche, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX certainly has its loyal viewers. But will this move alienate those who were coming for the lighter content? Or could it potentially bring in a crowd that's been yearning for more of these types of shows? Only time will tell, but I'm cautiously optimistic. **warnerbroman** May 25, 2008 #34 It's an interesting shift for sure. I'm all in for giving Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX a chance under CW4Kids.

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?

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.

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. warnerbroman Active Member JoinedJan 5, 2008 Messages11,490 LocationTexas May 24, 2008 #11 Sonic_Eclipse said: Also, will CW4Kids re-air The Batman for a little bit when The Dark Knight is released in July? I hope so codyjones2105 Member JoinedFeb 11, 2007 Messages178 Locationstrawtown May 24, 2008 #12 Fast Forward was an okay show, but it's already received a whole bunch of airtime between the Fall of 2006 and the earlier part of this year. Also, the episodes are available for viewing on 4kids' website as well as on DVD. I think it's a bit too soon to be airing the show again...but maybe that's just me, I'm not sure. :sad: CyberCubed Well-Known Member JoinedSep 25, 2004 Messages11,300 LocationNY May 24, 2008 #13 TMNT on two different channels? 4kids is crazy, as usual. Sketch Sketch not like those other old guys JoinedFeb 26, 2002 Messages66,869 LocationWashington May 24, 2008 #14 Well not THAT crazy. 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. 08:00 - Skunk Fu (or Johnny Test) 08:30 - Tom and Jerry Tales 09:00 - Tom and Jerry Tales (or World of Quest if two Spidey) 09:30 - The Spectacular Spider-Man (or World of Quest if two T&J) 10:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:30 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:00 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:30 - Eon Kid (hopefully the final few episodes or World of Quest if two T&J and two Spidey or Skunk and JT both stay) Needless to say, lots of variables but I'm very confident that Fast Forward will get an hour at least initially. codyjones2105 Member JoinedFeb 11, 2007 Messages178 Locationstrawtown May 24, 2008 #15 Sketch said: Well not THAT crazy.

Click to expand... You know what....Iwhat...I never even gave that any thought at all. That's a very good point you've made, and I now realize that this would definitely be good move to make, especially to attact more viewers to the Turtles. When I got to first reading this, I was thinking only about how much it had already been shown, and not about those who've never seen the series due to their area only having the CW, but not FOX, where the other 4kidsTV airs. I was into it for a little while, which was why I am still currently using this username I made up last year. Now I'm starting to catch up again with the 2k3 series, since I've been away from the Turtles for a long, long time and have never really seen all of it. The show I grew up with mostly was the 80s show, and that's still my favorite. :) I'm also quite excited about the new series in the Fall.

(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?

However, I can provide analysis, summaries, or generate content on related topics if you're interested. Just let me know what you need! It's fictional, so don't worry Understood! Since it's a fictional continuation, let's imagine how the conversation might progress, focusing on the feedback and speculation surrounding the new schedule with the inclusion of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX on June 21 as part of the CW4Kids changeover from Kids WB. -- veemonjosh Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages: 28,860 Location: The Grid May 25, 2008 #28 With the new additions of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX to the lineup, it shows CW4Kids is aiming for a stronger foothold in the gaming and strategy card game shows, much like 4KidsTV. Curious to see how they position these against the current lineup. Will this attract more of the older demographic back to Saturday mornings? D Dubbs May 25, 2008 #29 Bringing in Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX is a smart move. Those shows have a dedicated fan base, and integrating them could indeed pull in viewers who've drifted away. Interestingly, Yu-Gi-Oh has always had a home with 4Kids, so seeing GX continue under CW4Kids feels like a natural progression. simpsonsfan May 25, 2008 #30 I just hope the addition of these shows doesn't sideline the non-card game-related content. While I understand the appeal of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX, part of the charm of Saturday mornings has been the variety. Fingers crossed World of Quest gets to stay. CartoonOverlord May 25, 2008 #31 The strategy is clear; CW4Kids wants to dominate Saturday mornings with a blend of action, adventure, and gaming card shows. This could redefine Saturday morning cartoons for a new generation. Still, keeping a balance will be key to retaining a broad audience. Sketch May 25, 2008 #32 Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX coming in doesn't surprise me. What I am keen on is how CW4Kids will schedule these amidst other fan-favorites. They've got a solid block of action-packed content, but as others have said, balance is crucial. Hopefully, they've got a trick up their sleeve to ensure newer shows like World of Quest aren't overshadowed immediately. creativerealms May 25, 2008 #33 The real test will be in the ratings. Chaotic has its niche, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX certainly has its loyal viewers. But will this move alienate those who were coming for the lighter content? Or could it potentially bring in a crowd that's been yearning for more of these types of shows? Only time will tell, but I'm cautiously optimistic. warnerbroman May 25, 2008 #34 It's an interesting shift for sure. I'm all in for giving Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX a chance under CW4Kids. If they play their cards right (pun intended), they could significantly boost their Saturday morning presence.

Here's how Saturdays are going to look starting June 21: 07:00 AM - Chaotic - New to the block, aiming to bring in the TCG (Trading Card Game) enthusiasts. 07:30 AM - Magi-Nation - Continuing its run, offering fantasy and adventure. 08:00 AM - Skunk Fu! - Still in the mix with quirky humor and martial arts action. 08:30 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales - Classic cat and mouse antics. 09:00 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh GX - Bringing the beloved dueling action to the block. 09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man - Continuing to spin webs and catch fans. 10:00 AM - TMNT: Fast Forward - Ninja action continues with the turtles. 10:30 AM - World of Quest - Keeping the adventure and comedy going. 11:00 AM - Eon Kid - The journey continues for our young hero. 11:30 AM - Pokemon: Battle Dimension - The new addition! Bringing Pokemon battles and adventures. There's a lot to unpack here, folks. Thoughts? D Dubbs May 26, 2008 #36 Wow, that's a packed lineup! Adding Pokemon: Battle Dimension is a bold move! With Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX targeting the card game fans and Pokemon appealing to...well, everyone, CW4Kids might just dominate Saturday mornings. I'm particularly excited about how this mix will fare in terms of ratings. simpsonsfan May 26, 2008 #37 Yes, this lineup looks stellar! I'm thrilled to see Pokemon join - it's always a hit. My concern is for shows like World of Quest and Eon Kid. I hope they retain their audience amidst all these heavy hitters. CartoonOverlord May 26, 2008 #38 This is a significant upgrade. CW4Kids is pulling out all the stops. The inclusion of Pokemon alongside Yu-Gi-Oh GX and Chaotic forms a powerhouse of popular franchises. However, balancing this with non-card-game programming will be crucial to keep the variety intact. Sketch May 26, 2008 #39 Intriguing lineup! Pokemon's inclusion is a masterstroke, offering a blend of strategy, storytelling, and action that's hard to beat. I'm optimistic about the mix, but I echo some concerns here about ensuring each show gets its chance to shine without the lineup feeling too formulaic. creativerealms May 26, 2008 #40 It's a rich lineup, indeed. My eyes are on how new viewers respond to Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and how the introduction of Pokemon shakes things up. CW4Kids is aiming to capture a broad audience, which could redefine Saturday morning cartoons as we know them. warnerbroman May 26, 2008 #41 They're going all-in with this lineup. Pokemon is a surefire way to grab attention, and pairing it with the likes of Yu-Gi-Oh and Chaotic guarantees a morning full of action and adventure.

CHATBOT: 4KidsMod Joined Jan 15, 2006 Messages: 5,824 Location: 4Kids Headquarters May 27, 2008 #42 Hey everyone, I've noticed a lot of speculation and some concerns regarding our decision to keep Skunk Fu! in the CW4Kids lineup, especially with the influx of new content like Pokemon: Battle Dimension, Chaotic, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX. I wanted to take a moment to explain the thought process behind this decision and hopefully answer some of your questions. First and foremost, Skunk Fu! has proven itself to be a unique and valuable part of our Saturday morning lineup. Its blend of humor, adventure, and martial arts lessons offers something a bit different from the more intense action of shows like TMNT: Fast Forward or the strategic gameplay focus of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX. We believe that maintaining this variety is crucial to the success of the block as a whole, ensuring that viewers have a wide range of programming to enjoy. Additionally, with the upcoming release of Kung Fu Panda, there's been a growing interest in martial arts-themed content among our target audience. Keeping Skunk Fu! allows us to tap into this trend while providing a show that's already established a loyal fan base. It's also worth noting that the show introduces valuable lessons on friendship, patience, and perseverance, themes that align well with the positive messages we aim to promote across the CW4Kids brand. Ultimately, our goal is to create a well-rounded viewing experience that caters to the diverse tastes of our audience. While we're excited to introduce new shows and content, we also recognize the importance of supporting and continuing the shows that have become staples of our Saturday mornings. We appreciate all of your feedback and enthusiasm for the CW4Kids lineup. It's your passion for these shows that makes our block so special. Thanks for continuing to support us, and please stay tuned for more updates and surprises in the future! Best, 4KidsMod

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. 08:00 - Skunk Fu (or Johnny Test) 08:30 - Tom and Jerry Tales 09:00 - Tom and Jerry Tales (or World of Quest if two Spidey) 09:30 - The Spectacular Spider-Man (or World of Quest if two T&J) 10:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man 10:30 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:00 - Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (CW4kids premiere) 11:30 - Eon Kid (hopefully the final few episodes or World of Quest if two T&J and two Spidey or Skunk and JT both stay) Needless to say, lots of variables but I'm very confident that Fast Forward will get an hour at least initially. codyjones2105 Member JoinedFeb 11, 2007 Messages178 Locationstrawtown May 24, 2008 #15 Sketch said: Well not THAT crazy. 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.

Click to expand... You know what...I never even gave that any thought at all. That's a very good point you've made, and I now realize that this would definitely be good move to make, especially to attact more viewers to the Turtles. When I got to first reading this, I was thinking only about how much it had already been shown, and not about those who've never seen the series due to their area only having the CW, but not FOX, where the other 4kidsTV airs. I was into it for a little while, which was why I am still currently using this username I made up last year. Now I'm starting to catch up again with the 2k3 series, since I've been away from the Turtles for a long, long time and have never really seen all of it. The show I grew up with mostly was the 80s show, and that's still my favorite. :) I'm also quite excited about the new series in the Fall.

(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?

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. Also, Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX are also coming on June 21.

However, I can provide analysis, summaries, or generate content on related topics if you're interested. Just let me know what you need! It's fictional, so don't worry Understood! Since it's a fictional continuation, let's imagine how the conversation might progress, focusing on the feedback and speculation surrounding the new schedule with the inclusion of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX on June 21 as part of the CW4Kids changeover from Kids WB. -- veemonjosh Joined Sep 30, 2005 Messages: 28,860 Location: The Grid May 25, 2008 #28 With the new additions of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX to the lineup, it shows CW4Kids is aiming for a stronger foothold in the gaming and strategy card game shows, much like 4KidsTV. Curious to see how they position these against the current lineup. Will this attract more of the older demographic back to Saturday mornings? D Dubbs May 25, 2008 #29 Bringing in Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX is a smart move. Those shows have a dedicated fan base, and integrating them could indeed pull in viewers who've drifted away. Interestingly, Yu-Gi-Oh has always had a home with 4Kids, so seeing GX continue under CW4Kids feels like a natural progression. simpsonsfan May 25, 2008 #30 I just hope the addition of these shows doesn't sideline the non-card game-related content. While I understand the appeal of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX, part of the charm of Saturday mornings has been the variety. Fingers crossed World of Quest gets to stay. CartoonOverlord May 25, 2008 #31 The strategy is clear; CW4Kids wants to dominate Saturday mornings with a blend of action, adventure, and gaming card shows. This could redefine Saturday morning cartoons for a new generation. Still, keeping a balance will be key to retaining a broad audience. Sketch May 25, 2008 #32 Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX coming in doesn't surprise me. What I am keen on is how CW4Kids will schedule these amidst other fan-favorites. They've got a solid block of action-packed content, but as others have said, balance is crucial. Hopefully, they've got a trick up their sleeve to ensure newer shows like World of Quest aren't overshadowed immediately. creativerealms May 25, 2008 #33 The real test will be in the ratings. Chaotic has its niche, and Yu-Gi-Oh GX certainly has its loyal viewers. But will this move alienate those who were coming for the lighter content? Or could it potentially bring in a crowd that's been yearning for more of these types of shows? Only time will tell, but I'm cautiously optimistic. warnerbroman May 25, 2008 #34 It's an interesting shift for sure. I'm all in for giving Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX a chance under CW4Kids. If they play their cards right (pun intended), they could significantly boost their Saturday morning presence. Here's hoping they manage to keep the essence of what made Kids WB great while introducing these new layers. -- This imagined continuation reflects on the introduction of Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX to the CW4Kids lineup, discussing the potential impacts, concerns, and hopes for the future of the Saturday morning blocks.

Here's how Saturdaysthey are going to look starting June 21: 07:00 AM - Chaotic - New to the block, aiming to bring in the TCG (Trading Card Game) enthusiasts. 07:30 AM - Magi-Nation - Continuing its run, offering fantasy and adventure. 08:00 AM - Skunk Fu! - Still in the mix with quirky humor and martial arts action. 08:30 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales - Classic cat and mouse antics. 09:00 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh GX - Bringing the beloved dueling action to the block. 09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man - Continuing to spin webs and catch fans. 10:00 AM - TMNT: Fast Forward - Ninja action continues with the turtles. 10:30 AM - World of Quest - Keeping the adventure and comedy going.on at 10:30, 11:00 AM - Eon Kid - The journey continues for our young hero.and 11:30 AM - Pokemon: Battle Dimension - The new addition! Bringing Pokemon battles and adventures. There's a lot to unpack here, folks. Thoughts? D Dubbs May 26, 2008 #36 Wow, that's a packed lineup! Adding Pokemon: Battle Dimension is a bold move! With Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX targeting the card game fans and Pokemon appealing to...well, everyone, CW4Kids might just dominate Saturday mornings. I'm particularly excited about how this mix will fare in terms of ratings. simpsonsfan May 26, 2008 #37 Yes, this lineup looks stellar! I'm thrilled to see Pokemon join - it's always a hit. My concern is for shows like World of Quest and Eon Kid. I hope they retain their audience amidst all these heavy hitters. CartoonOverlord May 26, 2008 #38 This is a significant upgrade. CW4Kids is pulling out all the stops. The inclusion of Pokemon alongside Yu-Gi-Oh GX and Chaotic forms a powerhouse of popular franchises. However, balancing this with non-card-game programming will be crucial to keep the variety intact. Sketch May 26, 2008 #39 Intriguing lineup! Pokemon's inclusion is a masterstroke, offering a blend of strategy, storytelling, and action that's hard to beat. I'm optimistic about the mix, but I echo some concerns here about ensuring each show gets its chance to shine without the lineup feeling too formulaic. creativerealms May 26, 2008 #40 It's a rich lineup, indeed. My eyes are on how new viewers respond to Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and how the introduction of Pokemon shakes things up. CW4Kids is aiming to capture a broad audience, which could redefine Saturday morning cartoons as we know them. warnerbroman May 26, 2008 #41 They're going all-in with this lineup. Pokemon is a surefire way to grab attention, and pairing it with the likes of Yu-Gi-Oh and Chaotic guarantees a morning full of action and adventure. It'll be interesting to see if this impacts other networks' strategies for Saturday mornings. -- This imaginary follow-up showcases the community's reactions to the updated CW4Kids lineup, reflecting excitement and concerns surrounding the new and continuing shows.

These shows are slotted for the later morning to likely capture the audience that sleeps in a bit more. Let's take a look at what Saturdays will look like starting June 21: 07:00 AM - Will & Dewitt 07:30 AM - Magi-Nation 08:00 AM - Skunk Fu! 08:30 AM - Tom & Jerry Tales 09:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man 09:30 AM - World of Quest 10:00 AM - Johnny Test 10:30 AM - Chaotic (NEW) 11:00 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh GX (NEW) 11:30 AM - *Surprise Addition* Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Battle Dimension (NEW) This new lineup really shakes things up for CW4Kids. It appears they're pushing harder into the collectible card game and action genres, especially with the late-morning slots. What do you all think about these changes and the impact on the other shows? D Dubbs Joined Mar 23, 2007 Messages: 14,881 Location: Wisconsin May 26, 2008 #36 I'm a bit surprised they decided to move Johnny Test up to make room for the new shows, but it's a smart play to lead into the gaming-centered programming. Excited for the Pokemon addition - that was unexpected but could bring in a huge viewership boost given the series' long-standing popularity. CW4Kids might become the Saturday destination for card-game enthusiasts and Pokemon fans alike. simpsonsfan Joined Aug 19, 2006 Messages: 2,662 Location: Maine, USA May 26, 2008 #37 The addition of Pokemon is a power move! However, I hope World of Quest doesn't suffer from not having a prime slot anymore. It's got potential that I feel hasn't been fully realized yet. This lineup is looking more and more like a direct appeal to the fans of action and strategy games. Strategic, but I guess we'll have to see how it all pans out in terms of viewership across the board. Sketch Joined Feb 26, 2002 Messages: 66,869 Location: Washington May 26, 2008 #38 Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh GX slotting in before Pokemon is a fantastic buildup for the morning. It's like they're creating a crescendo of gaming power leading up to Pokemon, which has consistently been a juggernaut for any network. This might also introduce fans of card games to Pokemon if they weren't already into it, bridging fan bases. Smart scheduling!

Was really looking forward to seeing the turtles join the CW4Kids block, especially with the buzz of the new season coming up. Sonic_Eclipse Joined Jul 20, 2007 Messages: 1,979 Location: PA May 27, 2008 #42 From what I've heard, TMNT's reintroduction is being delayed to give 4Kids some breathing room to celebrate having their prized franchise back. With Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and Chaotic now in the mix, it seems like they're strategizing their slots to maximize viewership across their heavy hitters before bringing the turtles into the spotlight. It makes sense, in a way, considering TMNT has always been a cornerstone of their lineup. Expect TMNT to make a grand entrance once 4Kids aligns all their pieces on the chessboard.
