Kids' WB Network

The Kids' WB Networ is an American television channel created by Time Warner, which primarily shows programming for kids. The network began broadcasting on September 8, 1995, with Bugs & Daffy, one of its original Cartoon Cartoons, Animaniacs, Pinky & The Brain, The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, 2 Stupid Dogs, Freakazoid!, Batman: The Animated Series, the Scooby-Doo franchises and Earthworm Jim, being its first-ever aired programs.

Kids' WB currently serves as a 24-hour outlet of cartoons for kids and some classic cartoons as well. Since 1997, Kids' WB has also aired Cartoon Network originals, such as Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Over its succesful years, Kids' WB has been popular with its brand-new originals.

1995-1997: Backlot Era
In 1995, when the network premiered, Kids' WB had the studio backlot (similar to the Warner Bros. Studios backlot) as its first theme. The Backlot theme lasted until Kids' WB used that with a mix of Cartoon Network's Powerhouse bumpers on July 11, 1997.

Most episodes of the shows have aired in half-hour of hour-long packages: The 2 Stupid Dogs/Pinky & The Brain Show featured segments from the afromentioned shows, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat and mouse duo and Bugs & Daffy presented classic Looney Tunes shorts from post-1948 to the 1990s.

1997-Present: Backlot/Powerhouse Era
Kids' WB underwent its makeover in July 11, 1997, launching the Backlot and Powerhouse mix theme that is currently used as of today. During this era, new series, such as Waynehead, Tiny Toon Adventures, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Road Rovers, Tom & Jerry Kids, Dexter's Laboratory, I Am Weasel, Ed Edd n Eddy and The Powerpuff Girls, premiered bearing the Cartoon Cartoons brand, excluding action cartoons. During this era, the Powerhouse theme still featured the studio backlot and had characters from the cartoons they aired and the Kids' WB logo or the word NEXT and the Kids' WB logo. They were multiple color variants for the timeslots (Yellow for the morning, green for the afternoon, blue for the evening, black for late-night, purple for action cartoons and, beginning in 2001, late-night, orange and black for Halloween, brown for Thanksgiving and light blue for Christmas). Often, an announcer or one star of the show would say something witty over them or the music cue of the show's theme song and Raymond Scott's Powerhouse. In 1999, the Friday night block, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, premiered as a block for series premieres and new episodes.
