4Kids TV

[the1stpkmnfan]

I was wondering if anyone else here has watched 4Kids Tv. If not, It's a Saturday morning block on FOX, that's from 8/7c to 12/11c AM. It began in 2002, and featured many cool shows:


Di-Gata Defenders (2006-present)
Biker Mice from Mars (2008-present)
Sonic X (2003-2006) (2008-present for reruns)
Chaotic (2006-2008)
Chaotic: M'arrillian Invasion (2008-present)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (2006-2007) (2008-present for reruns)
Viva Pinata (2006-present on TheCW4Kids)
Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (2002-2006) (2008-present for reruns)
Winx Club (2004-2007) (2008-present for reruns)
Fighting Foodons (2002-2003)
Cubix: Robots for Everyone (2003-2004)
Incredible Crash Dummies; shorts (2004-2005; 2005-2006 reruns)
Shaman King (2003-2005)
Mew Mew Power (2005-2006)
The Cramp Twins (2003-2005)
Ultimate Muscle (2002-2004; 2005-2006 for reruns)
Bratz (2005-2006; 2006-2007 for reruns)
Funky Cops (2003-2006; 2007-2008 online)
The Adrenaline Project (2007-2008)
Magical DoReMi (2005-2006; 2007-2008 online)
Dinosaur King (2007-present on The CW4Kids)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003-present on The CW4KIDS)

Althought, I do feel bad about what's happening to the weekly block. TheCW4Kids is moving on, but 4KIDS TV is ending on December 27, 2008. The last saturday of December. It's not gonna be the same anymore, since all my saturday mornings were all from that block every saturday I watched it. So anyway, does anyone else watch this block or ever heard of it?

That television block full of epoch phail?

Heelllllll no!

Thank goodness its life on Fox is dead after December. Far less crap from 4kids to cry about after that.

Well, I gotta agree with you on that. It's really been a while. Just for the 2007-2008 & 2008-2009 season. I hardly watched anything, because they wouldn't bring back my favorite shows. Plus things come to an end, I suppose.

 

[Yogurt]

I never watched it unless maybe when I was little. It seems channels always get rid of your favorite shows does it? :<!

 

[DreamChasing Windie]

I only ever watched Kirby, but sometimes I watched Sonic. Now I watch the fansubs, though. I had no idea 4Kids TV was being cancelled, though I never really liked 4Kids.

I used to watch 4kids TV until I found out what they were doing to our poor animes. I finally stopped watching it ever since.

 

[Cobalt_Latios]

Hehe, Di-Gata Defenders isn't 4Kids; it's a Canadian series that just finished this summer. I'm curious if any other Canadians have watched it on 4KidsTV and have noticed any differences between Teletoon's airing of it, and their airing of it.

I only watch it because YTV has a terrible morning lineup that doesn't get good until around 10:30. So, I just watch Sonic X. The only worthwhile show on there anyways.

Kirby's okay too, but I don't bother watching it.

Aside from that, I haven't really bothered much.

Well CW4Kids is still alive. And it's gonna have Dragon knight and Spider-man season 2. Man I can't believe I still have to support them in a round about way. At least until the CW kicks them to the curve. And tbh 4kids tv only had CW4kids left overs. It was bound to happen.

 

[HoennMaster]

When will people realize that bashing 4Kids isn't cool or funny?

Only watched it when Yu-Gi-Oh! GX was airing new episodes on it.

I marvel at how you always have the best reasons.

Haven't payed much attenion to 4kids' block in a long while. In the beginning, I've only use to see Ultimate Muscle/Kinnikuman, Kirby, and even the "up and coming" Sonic X. After a few years, I quit watching the block, because of the cancellation of Shaman King and other various animes I liked. Viva Pinata was probably the only reason I actually watched it again, since they removed One Piece a while back, and my baby brother often watches the block to see Mew Mew Power. All in all, 4kids is back into the "Nothing's good on" phase. Haven't seen anything good after they removed a lot of rerun-ed shows from the block.

It's not bashing if it's right? No one is really trying to be cool.

I'll just be watching this and spidey.

Oh, 4Kids is ending? Hm, too bad. I don't really care for most of the shows, but I do watch Kirby, and Sonic X on occasion. It's not a huge loss though, since the 4Kids dubs were never the best.
Time to do some YouTube digging for episodes, I suppose.

To bad...no just about every so a poor setting or pretense I will lement the loss of Kirby for about 30 seconds and Sonic for 25 seconds and in 55 seconds its all better...besides it will probably be replace with some better series run by people with a sense of something that doesn't burn my eyes out...why what would saturday be with out cartoons for younger children...very boring is what it would be.

 

[Chris]

Uh...4Kids ain't ending, folks. They're just not getting a block with FOX and a block with The CW. It's just gonna be with The CW.

And everyone complaining about the poor quality of their programs have no idea how better off they had it compared to One Piece when 4Kids had it.

why what would saturday be with out cartoons for younger children

You must be living under a rock. Saturday morning cartoons have been long dead. Cartoons in general have gone through a huge dive in quality for several years now.

The only time I ever payed any attention to 4Kids' existence was when their logo showed at the beginning of the older Pokemon movies. I thought their logo was cool. Otherwise, after Pokemon's dub was changed, I never cared who they were.

Despite the fact that the logo ruins the pic it is still awesome. This isn't handled by 4Kids directly as well which makes it more win.
Kamen Rider Dragon Knight premieres on February 21, 2009. According to this actor.
Can't wait for merchandising to start.

Just caught the leaked first episode. Looks rather epic to say the least. And it looks like the merch line will roll out in late '09.

I will miss them. I feel a little sad for having seen every one of those shows.
But it was all reruns anyway :/
Let them concentrate on the CW now.

Just another victim in the 2008 Slaughter of cartoon blocks.
I hate FOX for taking the easy infomercial way or whatever the hell Fox daytime TV is like (not even Beakman can fill this void!)

4kids Representative Quote:
"We will also be adding Cayman Riders where [Bandai] is the master toy license, of which we don’t represent the property specifically but we do get a percentage of royalties from the property for running it on CW. Cayman Riders is actually very, very interesting in that it’s a live action series based on the most popular live action series in Japan which aptly is called Cayman Riders. Just like Power Rangers, the show has been re-filmed to star a more [inaudible] children, [inaudible] teenagers so that it looks like an American series as opposed to a Japanese series."

This is another reason to dislike 4Kids. They can't even name the shows they have correctly. Either that or just some really bad accent. And they still obsess at making everything completely American.
