As a 1997 kid who grew up with out cable. This video series was a good nostalgia trip. I learned a lot from these videos about a forgotten era of media.

Just want to say, your Attack The Block series has been one of my favorite retrospective series on this platform and the information contained in them is honestly fascinating to me. Kids WB while being something I barely remember (I was around 3 when it ended) is something I look back on fondly with and I can only hope that someday Kids today will have something that can match the quality of Kids WB programing.

Commenting for the algorithm and what not. Will edit after I watch. Edit: Kids WB will always hold a soft spot in my heart for helping to introduce me to Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, two forms of media I kept up with for many years. R.I.P. Saturday Morning Cartoon Blocks, many will miss you!

I'm glad that we have at least a WB Kids KZread channel. It's been putting Animaniacs on the channel, which is something everyone wanted. I hope they become a streaming block for HBO Max to feature all the classics, including the ones that aired on Kids WB (except the animes though). Even though I didn't watch the actual Kids WB back then, at least I've seen the bumpers and most of the cartoons they have online.

Alter Egos era, 2000s kids will remember.

I grew up without cable so Kid's WB and One Saturday Morning were major parts of my childhood. Nickelodeon was a big part only because we visited my aunts who had cable in the summer and we used to watch Nickelodeon all day!

If Kids’ WB! Came back, it would be a 24 hour channel.

I would have the WarnerMedia owned properties from theaters up to 1989 on one channel, 1990 - 2009 on another channel, and 2010 to current day on a third. And they don't even have to be on cable, you got places like Pluto and Tubi now that would love some extra run for advertisers where they can fit it in. (Note the dates would cover initial debuts and can be fudged, I dunno if something like Yo Yogi would be on the middle channel or the first since I consider it more inline with the late 80s than the 90s)

Thanks, it took much time but was worth it.

Thanks for this series. Kid's WB was a major part of my childhood. Glad I can relive a lot of these iconic series with DVDs/Blu Rays and streaming services!

Kids WB actually remained on air in Australia until around last year I believe. Not sure what sure what shows were on the block but they did have some cool live action segments between the breaks with two hosts. It would've been interesting to see you mention that.

My childhood, watching this block, along with Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. on CBS, FoxBox, later became 4Kids TV, and The CW4Kids. Man, the block brings me many generations throughout my childhood in the 2000s.

Good series, very well researched and informative. Because I am quite a bit older than you - and probably much of your audience - I am coming at this as someone who remembers the launch and beginning seasons of Kids WB. I watched it up until the shows I had a history with (Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Batman/Superman Adventures, etc.) were canceled. I remember cursing the day that Pokemon had premiered because it and similar shows overtook the ones I enjoyed. Aside from a few things you discussed, I hadn't been aware of a lot of the events after the year 2000, so this was fun to see. Thanks for the memories!

I find myself coming back to these 3 videos so often and I never get tired of them

Dude! I just finished all 3 parts of this- very nice. It really took me back. Just wow. Thanks for that. Well done. ~xandad

And of the technical difficulties we had, and the sleeping on the floor of my office - in case the render farm went down on a thursday night before a friday deadline... ahhhh good times. Thanks again. I even learned a little. :)

Finally! I thought this video would never come!

Really enjoyed your three part videos on Kids WB. You made me remember the good times watching that cartoon block growing up. I still remember watching it when it first started and watched the final episode when it over. Excellent work on these video and thanks for the brilliant memories

Goodby to my childhood home kids WB jetix and CN was my childhood and it’s all but gone now and all we are left with is the memories those of which we will laugh smile and cry at for many years to come we my friends will never see a a saturation of kids programming that big and rich ever again but while it lasted it was a lot of fun and good times it’s not here to tell its tale so it’s up to people like us to do so and spark a younger generations imagination maybe one of them will bring us back to that again we can only hope goodbye kids WB thanks for everything genuinely you made a lot of kids days fun and for that I am everyone else are forever grateful

Finally

oh yeah

Seeing blocks die like this make me wonder why streaming services don't revive stuff like this in this digital media age. Alas, in spite of their visual appeal, bumpers and indents have no place in this "Now, now now!" instantaneous streaming era we have. Programming cannot be programming because everything's at the touch of a button. Maybe have a catalog for people that want it in an instant whilst still streaming everything w/ bumpers? I just don't get it. You never get the answers from the powers that be so easily.

This was super fun to listen to, even though by the time I was a kid Kids WB was long irrelevant. But as a fan of Animaniacs and Pokemon, I like looking back at this type of history, and you did a great job! Even not having grown up with it the block had a lot of charm that I can see from its golden years, especially with those promos where the shows crossed over into one another and the branding had a lot of effort put into it. I have to ask, are you going to do a series on the CW4Kids/Toonzai/Vortexx? That was the block I began watching when I was in elementary school and I remember watching it shift branding multiple times from when I was a young kid to when I was a teenager (honestly just watched it for Sonic X).

Personally i like HBO max they have a wide variety of shows and movies but i do agree that it is over price 15 dollars 15 freaking dollars

Also, Men in Black: The Series briefly aired on Nickelodeon.

The series I talked about within the legacy of the block were about series that lasted beyond the discontinuation of the block and were still on Cartoon Network beyond 2008. Kids WB series shifted from the block to Cartoon Network almost immediately after TimeWarner's acquisition of Turner Broadcasting in mid 90s.
