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. Last edited by a m...

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.

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.
