Tom and Jerry on the WB? i never thought that would happen. i sure hope "Legion of Superheroes" is good, since they cancelled Teen Titans for it.

Good for you, but some people (not me) like Pokemon.
So how does this affect the new dub that was supposed to premiere this weekend? I have a feeling Pokemon will become a Toonami exclusive like One Piece. What I want to know is why Kids' WB pulled all their anime series and replaced them with this children's crap like Pillow Head Hour (WTF?) and remakes of old cartoons no one cares about (Tom and Jerry). I guess Toonami's the only place for the young kids to watch anime these days (which is a good thing, since they're letting up on edits). |

Sounds like they're cutting their losses.
In the past no one cared if American companies sliced & diced product from other contries to suit their needs, but with anime becoming more popular, they're hearing more & more complaints from fans about killing shows. On the other hand, I am regularly horrified by comments of co-workers about their prescious darlings being scared of this or that movie (I told one woman whose son is the same age as my daughter Lord of the Rings was great & my then 12 yr-old loved it. The woman was quite upset the Orcs gave her son nightmares.) One little thing & the parents will scream it's too violent or creating a bad image. Better to stick with something they can control from the script-stage. |

The Pillow Head Hour will not be reruns of other shows on the block. The Pillow Head hour will be an hour of educational programming that the network is still in negotiation for. This is made clear in the Kids' WB! on the CW press release.
As far as the Anime goes, Yu-Gi-Oh! will be finished next month (or in May), and Poke'Mon will most likely be moving to CN for the remainder of their premieres. Viewtiful Joe is the sad anime that seems to be rejected by most of the ratings, and they'll hopefully manage to rebound on CN. |

I dunno, I don't watch Pokemon anymore, but Kids WB won't be the same without it

Why on earth are they remaking Tom & Jerry and Scooby-Doo?! THese toons are old and need to be left alone so they can age with dignity. After YGO ends I'll have no reason to watch Kids' WB.

Same here. Once the final Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes air next month, that'll be it for me and Kids' WB. |

What's wrong with Tom and Jerry? I used to love that show, and if they can pull it off, hey, why not? I mean, judging it before it's even there? Isn't that like judging anime based on stereotypes like fanservice, hentai and the kid titles?
I imagine because it's called Kids WB. |

The whole low ratings excuse is a load of BS too.As far as Pokemon is concerned that is.

Because they have no original ideas and even if they did, it would end up like Cow and Chicken. |

No reason to watch Kids WB anymore. >.< Well, except for Xialin Showdown, but that's on CN too...
I'm annoyed that they're scrapping Pokemon though. :/ I don't watch it that much, but it's nice to put on if there isn't anything else up on a Saturday morning. |

I wonder what this Legion of Superheroes' is going to be about? Is this another follow up to 'Justice League' (which will be ending soon - last season)?
As far as a all new 'Tom & Jerry' (if that's what it is), then that can go to hell for all I care. Sorry, I'm tired of remakes of the old shows just. Surely, we did NOT forget 'Tom & Jerry' kids? I guess the good humor these days in shows is now becoming a dying breed. As for 'Pokemon' I agree 'WB' won't be fun without it. I wonder if the series has ceased production? Haven't seen any sighs of new seasons. However a movie is always in the works. Like the one that was out, I think last year. Which is supposed to be airing here. Ah, well. I'm be curious to see if 'Pretty Cure' boosts 'FoxBox's ratings. |
