I guess the people who said 4Kids was moving the Yugioh Brand to 4kids TV was wrong then. I kinda knew they wouldn't make a heavy move like that! KWB fall season seems falt although I can see, in a matter of weeks KWB will have a sneak peak stating come take a look into the FUTURE OF YUGIOH, YUGIOH GX coming soon to KWB! but this is strange everyone and they're mama is announcing new shows and they're fall lineups etc. Where's 4Kids TV's own?! Last and not least Loonatics?WB please stop killing your toons!

Did Jackie Chan Adventures get cancelled? I haven't seen it on WB for awhile now.

Have you seen the characters for Loonatics. I saw a blurb about it on Fox News where they described it as Bugs Bunny does in an anime style. I found a piece in it here:

They've killed Bugs Bunny!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw this on the news last night. Anime hyper I don't see Loonatics lasting for more than 1 season if that. They're messing with a perfectly good formula by making Bugs evil.

Although this Loonitics nonesense annoys me, I'm much more upset about the fact that they seem to have canceled Mucha Lucha.

Looney Tunes were never really meant for kids anyways, despite them being "animated." You want kids cartoons, go watch Mickey Mouse.

And "Johnny Test"? Please. It sounds like a parody of Johnny Quest, and we've already have a very capable parody of that show (and others like it) in The Venture Brothers on Adult Swim. (In fact, Race Bannon appears in one episode and dies.)

Loonatics...WTF. I imagine Elmer Fudd is going to come off as some sinister Boba Fett bounty hunter type character.

And what the heck is.. Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island!!?

Actually, if you look at the Saturday morning ratings, the American shows on Kids WB do reasonably well in the Kids 6-11 ratings compared to the other broadcast networks, often getting twice the ratings of whatever's on 4Kids TV. Xiaolin Showdown gets usually between a 3.0 and a 3.5 rating in the 9:30 slot in the Kids 6-11 demographic, usually around half a ratings point below what Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh get, but that's because Xiaolin Showdown is on up directly against Spongebob Squarepants. So, no, the American shows on Kids WB do not "fail miserably".

Hmm... Kids WB actually outperformed Cartoon Network that particular Saturday. Was everything a rerun that day, because usually CN beats all the broadcast networks with the Kids 6-11 demo, though it never beats Nickelodeon?

I think WB totally lost their heads. I dunno if they are trying to make their animation style similar to graphic design characteristics and just gave up at being creative. Personally, it looks like an uber tweeked version of "The Incredibles". I hope the plot and story makes up for it. =\

When has the plot in Looney Tunes ever been important? That's like asking for plot to be good for Dragonball Z. I see some guy sitting in the shadows, and the main characters fighting monster-of-the-week fare for the first season, then beating up the guy in the shadows, who wants to "TAKE OVER THE WORLD OMFG!!!"
