4kids TV to end 12/27/08

Thank goodness and good riddance. Well they still got CW4Kids, but 4KidsTv is no more. Yeah when they replaced Fox Box...I lost total respect. It started tanking really fast. I did watch some of Sharman King and Kirby. But then they start to move the shows around, and the the name change...that was it for me. Besides, Saturday Morning Tv...has changed. Maybe I am old, but I remember the good old times of wonderful Saturday Morning goodness...
 
What's gonna replace 4kids now?

I need something to watch before at least 11 (after 11 I'll watch Hanna Montanna and Suite Life of Zack & Cody and then that whole hour of Power Rangers at 12... everything before 11 on ABCKids is just dumb)


I was rather disappointed after they took Dinosaur King from the lineup, and instead gave us a double dose of Sonic X (Not... that I don't like Sonic, but... the dub is terrible... ;-; )

I guess if something replaces them then I'm okay =/
 
Lol, it dosen't bother me since I'm in Australia and that channel ended in 2001. I got over it pretty quick....OH NO! -cries-

Since I've been so out of date, I don't know what shows were on it. So tbh, I really don't care lmao.

EDIT: I was thinking of Fox Kids, that was a channel we had in Australia that ended around 2001. I've never seen 4kids TV O_o

I don't see why this would be in Japanese entertainment. But I sure won't miss it. After it almost threw Pokemon out the window for Amerika, that'll be precious space for Fox to put Family Guy or something.

Does the phrase "4kids: turning anime into crap since 1998" ring a bell.
FoxBox was 4kidstv, just with a different name. It still showed the majority of it's programming (which is anime dubbed by 4kids). Fox Kids did turn into Jetix since it was bought by Disney.
 
Its about time the end 4kids they should have ended when the started.
 
I have some terrible news from wikipedia:
wikipedia said:
Fox began airing children's programming in 1990 when it launched the Fox Kids Network. Fox's children's programing featured many cartoons and some live-action series (particularly fantasy action programs) including Power Rangers (currently airing on various Disney-owned networks: ABC, Toon Disney, and Jetix channels around the world), Bobby's World, The Tick, Eerie, Indiana and Goosebumps. When The WB added the Kids' WB programming block in 1995, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and later Batman: The Animated Series, (all of which originated either on Fox Kids or in syndication) moved to Kids' WB with new productions and original shows included.
Fox would abandon Fox Kids after selling the children's division and the former Fox Family Channel (now ABC Family) to The Walt Disney Company in 2002 and then sell the four hours of Saturday morning time to 4Kids Entertainment.
4Kids Entertainment has announced that the 4Kids TV block will conclude at the end of 2008, making its final broadcast on December 27, 2008. [3] After this, FOX will cease airing childrens' programming altogether.

So it does mean the end of 4kidstv, but it also means no more children's programming on FOX!
 
Hmph. As someone previously said, goodbye, good grief, and good riddance.

This was the moment I've been waiting for ever since my One Piece fanboy days...

Yes, that was them. I remember the fireworks that were literally going off in AP when Toei revoked 4KIDS's license of OP.
 
Oh, I thought this meant they weren't dubbing anymore! I had no idea they had their own channel...scary o.O

And then, the Pokemon "Lost Episode". They should've just kept it "lost". I mean, I can understand why they didn't show it, but really, they should've just released and uncut but dubbed version on tape and warn the parents/children for its content. I can understand why they took some episodes off TV after 9/11, though (like the Tentacool and Tentacruel one, the one I believe came after the "Lost" episode?).

Tentacool and Tentacruel was only "Lost" in America, it's been shown in the UK and probably other countries years after

Now for all you 4kids haters out there, this is a christmas gift. But for someone who grew up with it since it was the FoxBox, it is a thing that`ll ruin your holiday break. :( We've had some good times 4kids TV. From countless moments of laughter, supense, action, and sorrow you gave me tons of memories. We'll(or maybe just I'll) miss you. :'(

I remember when the FoxBox first came out, and had Digimon on it. I'm sad to see it go now..
 
It wasn't Fox Box (or it's predecessor Fox Kids) any longer. It didn't look like Fox Box or Fox kids either. The only bright spot was Dinosaur King. However, everything else pretty much sucked as it was either a generic post 2000 cartoon or it was a mutilated rendition of something from Japan. Oh yeah and there were some "new" series from old franchises. They made the new Biker Mice look only remotely like the old one. Yes, I know there's a need for change every now and then, but a complete makeover for eye candy's sake is unncalled for. And don't even get me started with TMNT Fast Forward. As if TMNT III hadn't been enough of an insult. So yeah, it's sad that Fox won't be broadcasting Saturday Morning cartoons but with the current lineup, it's just as well.
 
It's about time. o_o I'm glad its ending. They ruined Yu-gi-oh and not only that but they also ruined pokemon. I'm really glad to see it going. <3
 
If any of you had any good times with it please share them. I'll start.

I do remember a glimpse of FoxKids, but what I remember the most is seeing Sonic X on the FoxBox and 4kidstv.
 
Lol Chatot is amused by this, finally...
 
*Leaps off a near by street light*

Their crappy dubs have made me cry! I'm glad to see them go. So says... *Does heroic X pose*

VARIBLE X!
 
*HAAAAALLELUJAH!HAAAAALLELUJAH!HALLELUJAH! HALLEUJAH!HALLEUJAH! HALLELUUUUJA!*

Good. They had some okay anime, and they did okay with Pokemon(of course, that was when they were a branch of Viz Media and werent an independant company) and Yu-Gi-Oh!, but they murdered every single anim they got their hands on. I'm sorry man, I feel for ya. Most of us felt that way about Toonami when it got cancelled. But when they dub an anime and another company takes it over but they have to start over because they did such a terrible job (for those who dont know, Im refering to One Piece being taken over by Funimation), then they just have to go. Maybe now they'll put on a REAL cartoon/ anime block.
 
wow 4kids is disbanding? thats kinda... sad. i mean i still get excited wen i see teh original 4kids logo in the openin credits of a movie such as pokemon the first movie cause they really did well.
