View Full Version : Kids WB NOW or Kids WB THEN?

Nowadays Kids WB used to be FILLED with actual WB animation - you had Looney Tunes, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Pinky And The Brain, Tiny Toons, Road Rovers (don't be a weird boy), and Sylvester and Tweety mysteries with Men In Black being the only odd man out.

Nowadays I think the only thing on the block that's produced by the actual network is What's New Scooby Doo and Spike brandt's upcoming Duck Dodgers series. :( Both series are good in thier own rights as carrying on the standards set by thier predecessors, but i cant help but miss a few of the older shows and the better humor you got from a few.

Not to say that the current linup is bad - Jackie Chan Adv. has IMO always been excellent. But I cannot help but think that WB getting Pokemon was one huge double edged sword. On one aspect it really revitalized the network, but killed off everything else.

And WB animation itself wasnt doing so well. Histeria was OK, but it certainly was no Freakazoid, or PatB, or A!. And IMO, the least said about Detention and Pinky, Elmyra, and The Brain the better. :P But I often wonder if the direction that Kids WB has taken now is better or if getting Pokemon was really a saving grace for the network. We wouldnt have Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon (which people out there OBVIOUSLY do like) or maybe even JCA for that matter.

Which era do you think KWB did better in? Then, or is it doing just fine now?

Bleh...this post doenst really have a point i suppose. Dont mind me, I'm in a rambling mood. ^__^

Original Kids' WB. Definitely.

Sure, the presentation wasn't anything to write home about(the logo and bumpers became vastly superior in 1997-98 when the block went to Weekday Afternoons), but the shows were what counts. WB still has some good stuff nowadays, but nothing to the caliber of Freakazoid, Animaniacs, PatB, even Earthworm Jim had its moment.(I loved how they did it as a tour and EWJ was saddled over at "nearby Universal Cartoon Studios"...)

I think Pokemon was a double-edged sword for not only KWB, but animation as well. It kicked the network into the stratosphere and made 4Kids a power literally overnight. On the other hand, though, there was extensive damage done. The networks got the mentality of "let's just cheaply dub anime and rush it on", and that "do it on the cheap" thing really began to show(especially with Fox Kids... R.I.P.). Plus, it made 4Kids a power, and, well... suffice it to say I'm not that big a fan of their output.

Regardless of the shows on-air, one thing I really admire about Kids' WB was that it didn't become "The Pokemon Network". Did they show it a lot when it was huge? Oh yes. But they actually knew when it was time to stop riding the show and actually *prepared* for that day. Jackie Chan, X-Men: Evo, Yugioh!, and more all were developed in the wake of Pokemania and all have caught on to some extent. Fox Kids... well, let's just say that their tactic of "all Digimon, all the time" was their coffin, IMHO.

Kids WB NEITHER.

When the original Kids WB premiered, it was exactly like Disney's hold on ABC. All Kids WB, all the time. Sure, we had Animaniacs again, but that was it. The fact that few outside animation companies got a decent shot on the block (ahem, Calamity Jane, anyone) only made it worse. Sticking by the constant classic Looney Tunes like humor in all of their shows got old very quickly. It wasn't until Superman and MiB arrived that there was something of quality, primarily because they were different.

Then Pokemon came, and all of the other networks crumbled (well, ABC was already dead after canning Gargoyles and ReBoot). The fact that one show dominated an entire Saturday morning is ridiculous to me. This was the first time I saw two airings of the same show every Saturday morning, and it was bad.

I consider Kids WB NOW to be the lesser of two evils, but not by much. More variety is good, but the constant schedule shifts are not good at all. Underrated series like Zeta Project and Static Shock are not airing consistenly (anyone else miss "Ro's Gift?") with missing episodes here and there. At times, I have to check the schedule to make sure X-men is still the last Kids WB show to air on Saturday. Aren't they the number one network on Sat. morning? Other networks should be changing to compete against Kids WB, not the other way around. And I would rip the shows one by one, but I don't feel like it right now. Grrrrr.

Later.

I'd definately say Kid's WB was best between 95 and 98. There where a few good shows that popped up after that (Batman Beyond, Zeta, X-men: E, and Static are okay.)

But it's nowhere near as good as it was back when we had the likes of Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Bats/Supes and all that stuff.

What a fall from grace that was.

I liked KWB then. That's when KWB didn't have to have a all teenager cast. I don't mind KWB now (thanks for X-men: Evolution, Static Shock, and Jackie Chan Adventures) but I do miss the days with Animanicas, Batman & Superman, and MIB. I just wish KWB didn't get all "kiddy & teen related" on us. That you very much Batman Beyond for getting in the way of Batman and Superman :p

Duck Dodgers is not going to Kids WB. It is entirely and exclusively for Cartoon Network.

Teen Titans, however, will air on both Cartoon Network and WB. Of course.. they said the same thing about What's New Scooby Doo.. so who knows.

The old KWB was better but even it had huge problems. For starters due to lack of planning A! got messed up during the transition from Fox to KWB. Then KWB had a identity crisis in that KWB didn't like that the core audince of WBA was getting older since the shows didn't shed viewers as they go older so it became a snow ball effect. WB was so focused on young viewers they couldn't take advantage of WBA covering the whole specturm. Plus lost intrest in giving new shows a fighting chance like Road Rovers or F! and eventully WBA just crumbled from neglect.

I never liked the old Kids WB much.

Tiny Toons I liked as a kid, but now I find it ratehr blanmd.

Animaniacs and Freakazoid were good.

Pinky and the Brain shouldn't have become a show, it should have just stuck withe the Animaniacs.

Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain....ugh.

Road Rovers was nothing special.

Detention and Hsiteria...double ugh.


Once Pokemon came along, KWB gained VARIETY, whether for better or worse. And besides, I like Pokemon. So meh. =P

Oh, come off it, KWB bashers!

Now, I wasn't in the country during the time period that most of you speak of when you say "then." I agree that Pokemon is not a good show for any network in terms of quality, but it doesn't make the whole block crappy. Frankly, most of the arguments against sound like network/producer stereotyping.

Just because YGO is made by 4Kids doesn't automatically make it a post-Pokemon/4Kids disaster. I suppose some of you must have seen the show and do have basis for judgment, but I just can't help but wonder if it's clouded by blind hate for a company. True, Yugi has its kinks and annoyances (constant narration, constant narration!!!), but the plot can get so good at times.

I'll wait for the flames on that subject.

X-Men Evolution and Jackie Chan are good shows and much better than some of the crap on Saturday mornings. Namely Fighting Foodons, Ultimate Muscle, Ultraman Tiga (people WATCH this? WHAT??). Hey, if you want to blame 4Kids for something, use FoxBox at the scapegoat. I wouldn't blame ya.

Wow, I see the flames rising from a mile away. :(

Pokemon was a good show that had tons of potential to become one of the best. The reason why it sank so low in quality was because 4Wussies decided to not spend money with editing some of the mature themes that made the show better than what it is now. 4Wussies "asked" the creator to stop with the mature themes and just turn it into a cash cow. The same will happen to Yugioh, Ultimate Muscle/Kinnukuman, Fighting Foodons/Bistro Recipe, and Ultraman Tiga.

I hate 4Wussies for what they did to Pokemon and (eventually) to Yugioh. I hate KidsWB for taking Toonami and using them as a candy coat. I hate James Kellner for starting this whole mess (and still continuing). I hate it when Funimation was outbid by 4Wussies with Yugioh (Funi could've handled this series better than those Wussies).

But I absolutely love Yugioh.

And you're saying my judgement is clouded with my hate for the company?!!

So, you didn't even bother to put Kirby in as well? Somehow, you're contradicting yourself. And Kinnukuman/Ultmate Muscle isn't such a bad show if 4Wussies didn't mess the whole series.

The only recent by-gone WB toon I miss is Tiny Toon Adventures. A! was good at first, but was far too gimicky for me, as was much of the following material.

As for FUNimation, I dislike them as much as you probably dislike 4Kids for how they've treated one of my favorite anime, DBZ. I can't really stomach watching it in English anymore. :p Where FUNimation seems to be treating their other properties pretty well, I still harbor a huge mistrust with them. The fewer anime they get IMO the better. And the whole FoxBox thing... letting 4Kids have so much command over Saturday morning is inhuman. lol :D I DO watch Ultimate Muscle. I can't really stand anything else they show though.

DEFINATELY Kids WB then. Why, you ask?

Tiny Toon Adventures
Animaniacs
Pinky & The Brain
Freakazoid!
The New Batman Adventures
Superman:The Animated Series
MIB
Bugs & Daffy
Slyvester and Tweety Mysteries (Occasionally)
Earthworm Jim (Occasionally)


To be fair, the newer Kids WB has brought some good shows as well.

Batman Beyond
The Zeta Project
Static Shock
X-Men: Evolution

I just got annoyed by Kids WB when they became Pokemon-centered and then adopted the Toonami logo and got What's New Scooby Doo? How dare they? :eek: :(

KWB was way better during the first couple years of existance. The programming was very good and attracted both kids and adults (with the exception of a certain show by the name of Waynehead). In fact, my first escapades when it came to commentary involved posting references to the various shows that aired on KWB during the 1996-1997 season (Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, Road Rovers).

Unfortunately, Jamie Kellner had to start his reign of angering the fans by screwing the schedule up (first by putting the shows for older viewers earlier on Saturdays, then getting rid of Freakazoid and Earthworm Jim in Febuary of 1997). While KWB did have a few good shows after the 1996-1997 season (Batman, Tiny Toons, heck even Pokemon was good), the network slowly lost the spark that made it such a fun channel when it first started in the fall of 1995.

As far as in-house shows go, Mucha Lucha is a Warner Brothers Animation production.

As far as consistancy goes, the original Kids WB was quite strong. Yeah most of the shows were Warner productions but there was more diversity and the fact the shows did skew older made a schedule I enjoyed watching. I loved watching Pinky and the Brain (even when they added Elmirya), TNBSA, Road Rovers, Earthworm Jim, the three episodes of Calamity Jane they aired, Men in Black, and even season one episodes of Pokemon. The problem was that the line-up skewed too old. Kids WB was cool for older teenagers and adults to watch but younger kids were watching Fox Kids. And while Kids WB was built off the shows they made for Fox, most of those shows were about five years old when they went to Kids WB. As someone mentioned in this thread, people grew up with shows like Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, the B:TAS franchise (I include S:TAS in this), and Pinky and the Brain but to the younger kids watching those shows they were old news.

Pokemon made Kids WB a contender but they also changed the direction of the network. Gone were shows that had all different types of characters replaced by shows exclusively with child protagonists and dubbed gamer anime (Pokemon, Cardcaptors, Yu-Gi-Oh). While adults could still enjoy a lot of the shows that remain, none have an adult perspective and every experience must be filtered through the eyes of a child (yeah, you could argue that that is the case with the majority of Saturday Morning television but prior to a few years ago Sat. Morn TV provided an idealized vision of adulthood that isn't presented anymore). Any show with adult protagonists like Justice League and Samuari Jack is usually sent to the Cartoo Network and even the trend is limited to action show at this point since the direction of the humor shows is more toward kid friendly concepts like The Kids Next Door and Whatever Happenned to Robot Jones after the recent failures of Time Squad and Sheep in the Big City.

That is not to say that I don't enjoy Kids WB these days. I still have a blast watching X-Men Evolution, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Mucha Lucha but I am disappointed with the very average Ozzy and Drix and What's New Scooby-Doo (hire the writers of the Scooby-Doo comic book to write that show, please). Unfortunately, there are no alternatives to Kids WB right now since the Fox Box are full of second-rate shows, ABC Kids featuring mediocre Disney shows, and ABC Family containing more gaming anime (that genre doesn't appeal to me).

Kids WB is still the best in Saturday Morning television, unfortunately their best isn't as strong as it was as recently as two or three years ago.

I don't know if Kids WB ever had a good line-up, but they sure don't now. Where's the action? That Jackie Chan show is OK, but come on, is that the best they can do?

11-26-2002, 01:26 AM
Definitely the "old school" KWB (A!, PatB, etc.)... even the Cat and Bunny Rosie O'Donnell Will and Grace-y Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride Show (yeah, felt risque in making fun of that show's name this time 'round :-) ) seems much preferable over some of what's on KWB now (Yu-gi-Oh? No-thanks-oh...). Plus, there was an actual balance of humor and action shows (remember "heavy Duty Dubbas?"), vs. the current "almost all action-all-the-time" aspects... of course, figure the targeted kid audience (say, 10-year-olds) by this point probably isn't old enough to even recall the early KWB lineup....

Sure...I love Yu-Gi-Oh...and I'm a Jackie Chan fan. Plus X-Men Evolution is just too good for what it is(it's kiddified. But damn well).

In the end, there's only one thing I can really say.

I really miss Freakazoid and Earthworm Jim. :(

Fox reaired Season 1 when they found out about the WB network and the 4 new eps they did aired sucked.

Then WB in their infinite wisdom didn't even produce enough new eps of A! to get them to summer without having to air season one of A!. P&tB also got puny number of eps for it's first season. Basicly KWB didn't know what is was doing. They needed new eps since there station was new but they didn't make them. Of course kids flocked to Fox they seen A! season one before and season three wasn't big enough to draw them in as was four and five. The slow dribble of new eps was okay for older audinces but not kids.

Well, look at it this way. Would you rather have your favorite series that hasn't been aired in USA yet, be distributed by Funi or be distributed by 4Wussies? Me? I'll take Funi anytime. At least I know, for now, they're retaining the originality of their properties.

While I do enjoy watching current shows like Yu-Gi-Oh and X-Men Evolution, I still like the older line-up(Road Rovers, Freakaoid, MIB,etc.) better.

Why?, because I feel that those shows had more diversity, while today's shows have more repetative plots.

Take Jackie Chan Adventures as an example. In the first season they had to collect talismans with special powers to stop an evil force from getting them. Skip to the current season, and now instead of having to get the talismans with special powers, they have to get the animals with special powers to prevent yet another evil force from getting them.

Definatly then. With great shows like Batman, Superman, Animaniacs, Freakzoid, Pinky & The Brain, MIB, and Earthworm Jim! (plus classic Bugs & Tweety on occasion), KWB had the best line-up then, even if they were still messed up and confused. They had a quality line-up which unfortunatly would crumble under it's own hype. But their current line-up is building itself up and is pretty strong compared to most of the other crap out there.

I would have to say that both line-ups had their strong points. Back in the day we had Batman and Superman on the air at the same time. Recently we've had X-Men Evo, Jackie Chan Adv, Static Shock, Batman Beyond and the Zeta Project. Personally I've really enjoyed the later shows but I realize that with the groundbreaking shows they never would have occurred. It is for this reason that I pick the older Kids WB because it helped establish the network and allowed it to grow and create new animated series that would not have been possible otherwise.

I never had WB until 2 weeks after MIB stopped airing. Ive been in utter hatred of it ever since.

Pokemon was evil of the channel. Because we didnt get WB, many channels here broadcast Pokemon instead of the fall shows they were SUPPOSED to show. It was extra painful. No MIB, and Pokemon coming out of our ears.

Id like A WB with the classics like batman and such, and MIB too. Wishful thinking.

I find nothing really enjoyable at all on WB. At most... Ozzy and Drix looks funny. Ive seen and episode and it's pretty silly.

*sigh* can we grow up for 5 minutes? If you make mention of a company like 4KIDS, call it that. Calling it "4Wussies" is confusing and it's really childish no matter how much you hate the company.

if you want to make a serious point about content editing, please use the company's actual name. Then people are more opt to read what you have to say on the matter.

LOL cool, huh?

Its been a long 5 years and Hopefully when I have time this winter break, I will move most the info onto the new MIBHQ.COM and make it more crisp and less of the kiddy page I have now. The technology I have is low so It's kinda lame. I have a whole new look coming and Im going to be amazed if I can thumbnail 1800 images without flipping my lid.

To be perficly blunt, Wb was no place to show yu-gi-oh. It ither deserved Toonami
(looser editing, Not on the fanservice monsters *coughHarpie'sladyCough* though Red Archery girl was overkill, But on the guns and I'm still clueless on how they are gona edit the whole Bakura/Malik sword thingy)

Or A different Dubbing company....
(i Don't think sabain would of been any better, maybe Oecain Group, heh Scott Mcneal as Yugi...)

I preferred it then.I don't watch many cartoons on Saturdays anymore because good shows are rarely on.

I like both equally because then there was very little action and more comedy, but now it's more action and hardly any comedy. I wish KWB could find the balance between the two.

The only cartoon shows I watch on Saturday mornings are

Yu-Gi Oh

Ultimate Muscle

Kirby(every now and then)

Static Shock(not on this quarter)

JCA(every now and then)

Filmore

X-Men EVo

Medabots

Ozzy and Drix(every now and then)

What's New Scooby Doo

And when nothing else is on or I am bored then I watch

Pokemon

Beyblade

Teamo Supremo

Mucha Lucha

Id enjoy some good old MIB on WB.


I dont mind Jackie Chan Adventures. A slew of people from MIB the series work on Jackie Chan and it's cool to hear them talk about it (albeit a tiny bit to me).

I liked it when Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, and the Big Cartoonie Show were on Kids WB! But I like it now with What's New Scooby-Doo?, X-Men Evolution, and a little Yu-Gi-Oh! and Ozzy and Drix sometimes. Besides the only shows I watch on Saturday mornings are:

What's New Scooby-Doo? (Kids' WB!)
X-Men Evolution (Kids' WB!)
Spider-Man: The Animated Series (ABC Family)
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (ABC Family)
Best of Power Rangers (only if it's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) (ABC Family)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (occasionally) (Kids' WB!)
Ozzy and Drix (sometimes) (Kids' WB!)
Kirby (if I can) (FOX Box)
