Kids ABC? Discovery Kids ABC? Nick on CBS? WHAT'S GOING ON? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay, I am very upset. Why are all the local channels (except FOX, WB and PBS) welching off other networks?

ABC is welching off of the Disney Channel (Though ABC is pretty much disney it should really have their own shows....not shows from The Disney Channel.....AND THEY ARENT EVEN SHOWING KIM POSSIBLE!) They are dumping the "Disney's One Saturday Morning" and switching to "ABC Kids".....WHAT THE HELL? IT"S BEEN DISNEY'S ONE SATURDAY MORNING SINCE 1996! WHY ARE THEY SWITCHING IT? The Proud Family comes to ABC next Saturday. Why can't they bring The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, Squigglevision, and The Weekenders?

CBS is welching off of Nickelodeon. I guess Nick Jr isn't improving their ratings since Joe came on Blue's Blues. They are going to have Nickelodeon shows such as Pelswick, As Told By Ginger, Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, and others on their Saturday Mornings.

I was watching Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and I now see that NBC is welching off The Discovery Channel now. Discovery Kids hits NBC this fall with kid shows that they like show at 4am on the Discovery Channel.

The fact that all three main channels are going down the drain for their Saturday Mornings. I guess TNBC ran out of shows or they were getting bad ratings. I wonder if CBS will completely drop the Nick Jr. bit. Why can't there be a cartoon channel where they show classic cartoons? (I know Cartoon network does but I don't have that.) It's just that........Saturday mornings are supposed to be fun and filled with joy............WB's cartoons (Besides Pokemon) are all stupid.....Where's Tiny Toon Adventures or Animaniacs? FOX Kids is nothing but Power Rangers and Digimon........*shudders*......and so far I am stuck watching Spongebob Squarepants all morning long.........I want to watch a cartoon on saturday that I don't find annoying in the morning!!!!!

I think they are all buying each other up. Look at VH1 for example, they are showing some of MTV's old stuff. They buy each other out.

Don't worry your not the only one that's watching PBS.

Currently I think that PBS' cartoons are better than some of the crap that the big networks are showing.

The kids shows from PBS are perfect for kids!-

Arthur

Marvin The Tap Dancing Horse

Adventures From The Book Of Virtues

Anne Of Green Gables

Cyberchase

Dragontales

Zoom!

Mister Rodgers Neighborhood

SHOOT!, even I watch Arthur!

I agree! PBS is cool despite Dragon Tales. If I exaggerate on dissing dragons, it because I trying to dump my girlfriend is she loves anything like that or similar therefore.
