Talkback: The First CW4K!DS Broadcast [5/24]

I'm still watching World of Quest, and it has had its one or two moments, but overall I think it continues to squander its potential. (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?
 
So... All these changes are so far Cosmetic? 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.
 
I know that they'll air the next season regardless of which channel it ends up on. I was just commenting before on how weird it feels if 4Kids will have new episodes of GX and 5D's on the same channel this fall. For some reason, I'm still thinking that the GX airing will be repeats, not premiers. If they started showing new episodes right on June 21 on the CW4Kids, then that would leave a lot of new viewers confused about what the heck is going on. At least when they started episodes on 4KidsTV last year, they started right at the beginning of the current season, thus making it less confusing for people watching the show for the first time than if it were right in the middle of the season.

Besides that, I also think that they're having GX on the lineup to establish more viewers for 5D's in the fall, just as Fast Forward is doing for the new TMNT season. I understand why 4Kids would want some of their better rated/popular shows on the CW4Kids, but I can't help but feel that they may want to keep a couple of them on 4KidsTV for at least their next run on Fox so that they don't lose so much money from their possible last year on that channel. I also still feel that two Yu-Gi-Oh! series airing on the same block is kind of weird. Not really a bad weird, but just weird. I would be okay with it either way, at least once that weird feeling passes through me.
 
I just checked on 4kids.tv since I have been watching episodes of Sonic X and anyways when I checked out other shows streaming online I saw Skunk Fu on there. So now I guess we know 4KIDS wants Skunk Fu! for the fall. I wonder if it will end up one on the CW or Fox. Guess we'll find out.

Another thing I can't believe World of Quest is over so soon. I wanted to tape them when they re-aired I guess it's a no go then. But, I thought it was making 26 episodes in Canada though? If so I will be mad that Canada got more of Quest. :crying:
 
O_O

Wow, that was totally unexpected. This keeps on getting weirder and weirder. So, I guess any show from Kids' WB this past season is fair game for streaming on 4Kids.tv.
 
Based on discussions on the 4kids forums about the whole CW/4Kids situation, the moderators mentioned that they would be addding content to the site and eventually (the way I understood it) cw4kids.com would re-direct visitors to 4kids.tv I also found they have a template for a Skunk Fu page on their site:

That was one of the episodes that gave me a glimmer of hope.

Ehh, but I just saw this week's. Lord Spite has to be the lamest villian ever, even for a comic villian. My God, Drakken of Kim Possible was far better, because he had depth, and Shego, and he was occasionally really funny. (Like in the "Sick Day" episode, and the one where he kept trying to open that jar of gherkins). If a show about a quest has such an incompetent villian, then where's the tension? Or the drama that's at least occasionally needed to give the heroes' struggle any oomph? And again, the characters don't relate to each other very well, or in a very entertaining way. Too bad. Once again an episode of World of Quest gets buried in lame "jokes" and nothing of consequence. Only good moment was when Nestor kept his word. But overall, the quest itself isn't involving enough to hold viewer interest, and the jokes aren't funny enough to make up for that lack. Oh, and I take back the good things I said about Quest in the beginning. He's a bore when he's not damn annoying. I actually think the show would be better without him.

Yeah, this show needs to go bye-bye.
 
Ah, it's a pitty The Batman isn't right after Turtles. They broke a good 2 hours of comic hero action. Ah well...

I actually didn't think they'd go with Batman over JT but I'm glad I was wrong about that. It is obviously because of the movie coming up. So here's what's sad... 4kids seems to know better what to do with WB's shows than WB or CN does.
 
Ehh...maybe my brain's still numb from seeing Indy 4 this afternoon, but huh? The Wizard was a good guy imprisoned by that la-de-da Lord Spite, so he wasn't a villian. Unless you mean that Mr. T is of sufficient awesomeness to overcome WoQ's shortcomings. Which is an even bigger "huh?" if that's what you meant.

And besides, the wizard sounded more like Jesse Jackson.
 
Heh, it's pretty interesting to see how 4Kids has basically become the king of kids' broadcast. Personally, I've found that their shows range from very well done (all their originally animated stuff, early Pokemon, UM, and even YGO and SK to an extent), down to incredibly mediocre (Sonic X, OP, TMM/P). At the moment, I find their faults outweighing their positives, but there's no denying that for a while yet, they're going to be the big corp. on campus.
