Kids WB Retrospective (Part 2): Attack the Block (Episode 7)
Ойын-сауық
Competing with increasingly popular cable networks, shifting to an entirely new network, and constant changes in its lineup, the mid to late 2000s featured a new set of challenges for the brand.
Huh, you made it down here to the description. I hope this means you found the video full of awesomeness, and are planning on subscribing. Either way, thanks for watching!

I remembered Kids WB from 1997-2008. May you RIP Kids WB. 😢
You got to give Kids WB mad props even though they knew there death was at hand they solidered on at there final bordcast like it was business as usual
Discovery Kids a huge throwback
Starting to wonder if Warner Bros copyright claimed the Loonatics Unleased footage because the higher ups nowadays recognized that it's a bad show and want to forget that it even existed.

Probably more likely that WB's desperate enough to copyright a video that only featured less than 30 seconds of footage because they'll reboot a almost anything

Watching these both to help the algorithm and because I need something to forget about the current year we're in, 2020. Edit: may just make a bunch of extra accounts just to comment and signal boost this. Your channel deserves so much more attention.
Don't know why, but the story surrounding The WB itself, not just Kids' WB, is very interesting to me.

@Isaiah Williams If you ask me, that show tailor-made for The WB, not NBC.
You know in a hypothetical Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, and Pinky and the Brain sequel series where the Warners are sent to Acme Looniversity with Pinky and the Brain becoming class pets, what kind of episode ideas would you imagine? I could see one where Pinky and the Brain are trying to deal with their new surroundings, Buster and Babs showing the siblings around Acme Looniversity, and Plucky trying to prank the Warners.
I stuck around long enough to remember Viewtiful Joe, Legion of Super Heroes, Spider Riders and Magi-Nation.
Nice, that you reuploaded this, after it went private, due to copyright claim from Warner Bros. Entertainment, containing footage from Teen Titans.
I loved Loonatics Unleashed as a kid.

This was so well put together, can’t wait to see what happens next for attack the block. I just subscribed:)

24:58-25:09 Not only that, but by that point in the block’s run, ABC Kids was running on auto-pilot. It kept on airing the same 10-12 episodes of Emperor’s New School, The Replacements, Hannah Montana, and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody; and the same 22 episodes of That’s So Raven (with two half-hour broadcasts of that show airing back-to-back in an hour-long timeslot) from then until ABC Kids ended in 2011, with the only series continuing to get episode updates on the block being Power Rangers, which continued to air new episodes on ABC Kids until 2009 (the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers aired on the block during the 2009-10 television season, and then Disney sold the broadcast rights to the franchise to Nickelodeon not too long after, leaving ABC Kids as basically a living corpse during its final year on the air). I know that Cinepile Studios already did a really good video on the history of the block, but it still would be awesome if you covered Disney’s 1 Saturday Morning/ABC Kids in a future “Attack the Block” installment.

It was one of my wake-up calls to the passage of time, I had turned 21 in 2006, and to watch the wholesale collapse of broadcast Saturday Morning cartoons from the turn of the millennium until my college years was basically a bell tolling in the background of my head. Cable and later cable-supported high speed internet had effectively shattered 'the blocks' to the point where anyone not blinded by nostalgia could see they were financially un-viable. It was like watching great nations shatter, but eventually being reborn into greater (in terms of breadth) confederations. Animation has never been more diverse, had more depth, had more breadth, had more range, had more willingness to revisit the old and grasp blindly for the new. And yet, there is just this awful feeling of loss, that concentrated hit of "there is this specific 4 hour block just for YOU" is dead and gone, and for the sake of television, there is simply no need for it to come back. If they care about the content, they will find a way to get it out; if they care about the ads, ads at 5 PM on a Wendsday sell just as well on cable as 10 AM on a Saturday OTA, in theory at least...

I don't know why, but from kidsWB to CW4kids Vortex, even though they said it came on Saturday the block always aired on Sunday for me, I don't if was because of where I lived or the got air dates wrong 😅

Actually, it IS because of where you lived. Although Kids’ WB was supposed to be a Saturday morning block, some CW affiliates aired the block on tape delay in favor of showing locally produced and/or E/I-compliant programming, causing it to air on Sundays on those stations instead, and the same thing happened with The CW4Kids.

Teen Titans wasn't really a Kids WB show. They were just played reruns of episodes that aired months prior on Cartoon Network.

.... Why didn't PowerPuff girls come to Kids' WB, while Toonami was still there ? 🤔
in my honest opinion, if UPN Kids would have lived on till 2006 and then it and Kids WB would have merged too as Kids'CW
That’s crazy
The WB was born five days before UPN and died five years after

So if im understanding this correctly, the cartoons didnt flop on Kids WB. The network itself kinda flopped and forced the cartoons out?

A combination of factors: (1) the WB network's decline (2) families shifted to cable (3) Parent company Warner Media began prioritizing Cartoon Network over the dying WB network and Kids WB (4) This abandoned Kids WB while making Cartoon Network much more kid focused than in the past.
