Kids' WB Network

The Kids' WB Network is an American television network created by Time Warner, created as an animation channel for kids. The network began broadcast on September 8, 1995, with Bugs & Daffy, one of its first original Cartoon Cartoons, Animaniacs, Pinky & The Brain, Earthworm Jim, 2 Stupid Dogs, Freakazoid!, The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries and the Scooby-Doo franchises being its first-aired group of 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 BugsNDaffy AmiYumi PinkyBrainy Warneroonie SuperLooney Big Cartoonie Show featured segments from various Kids' WB comedy cartoons, 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 2000s.

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 as well as special events, most notably Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest.

2000s: Making way for new series
In the 2000s, the network still added more popular shows, more recently The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Codename: Kids Next Door, Time Squad, What's New Scooby-Doo!, Mucha Lucha!, Ozzy & Drix and Jackie Chan Adventures. In 2004, the network had a new slogan: "Welcome To Kids WB: The Place To Be!" and had the characters doing the Coming Up Next, We'll Be Right Back and Back To The Show sequences, the first time that happened in years. Later in 2005, the network premiered newer shows and had new episodes for each show. The network also added the shows that currently aired since the 90s (i.e.: The Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory and Bugs & Daffy) and put them in a 30-minute or 60-minute block known as The Cartoon Cartoons Show, for the shows that still aired. In 2007, the series premiere of the newest Cartoon Cartoon, Chowder, became the highest-rated series since Bugs & Daffy's series premiere in 1995. Aside from Chowder, no other Cartoon Cartoons premiered in '07. Throughout the 2000s, Kids' WB became the most-succesful television network for kids, beating out Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel in the ratings.

2010: Brand-new series & A brand-new block
In 2010, Kids' WB plans to premiere seven brand-new original series, which most will be new Cartoon Cartoons. The new shows for 2010 will be The New Looney Tunes Show, Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series. There will be a new weekday-afternoon block known as Kids' WB's Daily Dubba AfterToons, which will air weekday afternoons and feature sneak peeks of brand-new shows as well as aring current favorites such as Bugs & Daffy, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, Codename: Kids Next Door, Ed Edd n Eddy and The Powerpuff Girls. Also, all of Kids' WB's action cartoons (i.e.: Samurai Jack, Captain Planet, Jackie Chan Adventures, etc.) are shown less frequently to make room for all of the comedy/fun-oriented cartoons (i.e.: Bugs & Daffy, Ed Edd n Eddy, The Big Cartoonie Show, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, 2 Stupid Dogs, Pinky & The Brain, Waynehead, Tiny Toon Adventures and The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries).

Cartoon Cartoon Fridays
Cartoon Cartoon Fridays is Kids' WB's Friday-night block and its longest-running programming block in Kids' WB's history. Beginning in 1999, the block would be hosted by a Cartoon Cartoon character, which was one of its main appeals. For years, the block ran for six hours until in 2010 when it now ran for seven hours. By 2010, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays began having extra fan appeal, with recent additions of the .com Pick and The Premiere Premiere Show. The .com Pick is a segment where viewers would vote for the show they want to watch on the network's website and The Premiere Premiere Show is when viewers get to see a new episode of a Cartoon Cartoon. The .com Pick was dropped in March 2010 at the request of network affiliates though The Premiere Premiere Show is still on the lineup, due to its popularity with the viewers.

120% Dubba WB
120% Dubba WB is Kids' WB's weekend-afternoon block. This block is very popular since it has no ads, making it the second longest-running block in Kids' WB's history. This block airs series from the current Cartoon Cartoons era such as Bugs & Daffy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy as well as new Kids' WB franchises such as Jackie Chan Adventures, Static Shock, Ozzy & Drix and Xiaolin Showdown.

The AfterToons Show
The AfterToons Show is Kids' WB's weekday-afternoon block. The block is aired on weekday afternoons for kids coming home after-school. The block features Kids' WB favorites such as Bugs & Daffy, 2 Stupid Dogs, Batman Beyond, The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, Ed Edd n Eddy, I Am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls. The shows are rotated each season and month. Current lineup for the spring and winter: NOTE: On Fridays, Zoey 101 often rotated with Unfabulous at the 3pm and 4:30pm timeslots.
