The CW (ended 2008)
Hey guys,
The Eon Kid DVD has officially been released. This DVD contains 4 episodes plus a bonus episode, basically ~110 minutes of pure Eon Kid. This DVD only documents the first 4 episodes of the Eon Kid series, but it contains the episode "Strength Is Not Everything" (this episode was combined with the episode titled "The Journey Begins"). Hope everyone will continue to support Eon Kid and hopefully it will come back this fall! 
Sorry, guys, but neither 4Kids TV nor The CW4Kids is bringing back Eon Kid this fall, it seems. According to ToonZone, the fall schedules September 13 are:
The CW4Kids:
7:00 - Will & Dewitt (reruns?)
7:30 - Magi-Nation (reruns?)
8:00 - Skunk Fu! (new season?)
8:30 - Viva Piñata ("new" season?)
9:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man (reruns?)
9:30 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewers (new "series")
10:00 - Dinosaur King (new season)
10:30 - Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (new series)
11:00 - Chaotic (reruns)
11:30 - Chaotic (reruns)
4Kids TV:
8:00 - Di-Gata Defenders (new episodes)
8:30 - Biker Mice from Mars (new episodes)
9:00 - Sonic X (reruns)
9:30 - Sonic X (reruns)
10:00 - Chaotic: M'arranian (sp?) Invasion (new "series")
10:30 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward (reruns)
11:00 - Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (reruns)

Sorry guys

In my opinion, these schedules suck. I mean, I'm ok with Johnny Test and Skunk Fu being on Cartoon Network but they have an hour of Tom and Jerry Tales (cancelled), Chaotic (shown on Jetix) and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (that's fine). But there are other shows that could air... UGH I'm not happy at all. I don't think EK will even release any more dvd's. |
Eh, I don't really dislike the schedules THAT much. Although, the 4Kids TV schedule is official, according to WVAH. I have yet to see more confirmation on the CW schedule, which I'm not entirely sure about. They announced a new show called GOGORiKi but I have yet to see it.
But yeah, it seemed for a moment that 4Kids was moving their "heavy hitters" to the CW... but... why is the new Chaotic season on 4Kids TV? And do we really need 2 Sonic X reruns and 2 reruns of the original Chaotic? On the other hand, I'm glad to see Skunk Fu and Viva Pinata are going to continue, and Magi-Nation (hopefully) as well. But it looks like the final 4 Eon Kid episodes won't air after all.
And I thought they had more new shows. I mean, the only new show I see on there is Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (unless you count TMNT:BttS which is basically TMNT Season 7, or Chaotic: MI, which is basically Chaotic Season 2). I mean, they're not even going to finish GX? It has one season left!
But it looks like the final episodes won't air... though I hear they did in Australia. Wish I knew a way to see them...
Honestly, I agree with you, Matt_Purosky. I don't think it is necessary to rerun Sonic X and the original Chaotic twice. Eon Kid would fit in perfectly if they are not going to rerun those shows twice.
In my opinion, since Magi-Nation is pretty much done, I think they should move it out of the line-up (since it will be rerunning again for a 3rd time, unless there is a new season), but don't get me wrong, I love Magi-Nation, I just think a 3rd rerun of the whole season is a little too much.
Eon Kid only has about 7 rerun episodes left and 3 (or 4) episodes for this season to complete. I don't think 10-11 weeks will hurt them. Since it left off at the point where Marty and the gang just escaped the Iron Tower is already suspenseful enough already. I do hope that the CW4Kids will air them. Let us know when the official fall schedule for the CW comes out! 
Yeah, Sonic X is a finished series, and Chaotic is on Jetix too.
But anyway, The CW4Kids cannot drop Will & Dewitt or Magi-Nation right now because they need a full hour of E/I programming in the 7-8 AM hour. Another show called GOGORiKi was announced, which is an E/I show, and it was supposed to be on the fall schedule but apparently it's being delayed. It will either take out W&D or M-N. Although, I heard The Adrenaline Project is having another season in Canada, and there's still a whole "season" (25 episodes) of Magical DoReMi that hasn't aired on TV, so unless they bring one of those over, one of them is going to stay.
But yeah, just 3 or 4 Eon Kid episodes wouldn't hurt. I mean, they could just use it as filler for another show to premiere. Maybe it will be like Winx Club Season 3 was where they air the last three or four episodes on the fall schedule and then replace it with something else.

Contract agreements, I guess. And on that subject, 4Kids TV actually does have to have some e/i programming, but just one half hour. Currently, Winx Club fills that slot, but if The Adrenaline Project Season 2 airs on 4Kids TV then that could be their e/i show instead. When the "Fox Box" was originally formed, 4Kids made a contract with FOX to have at least one half hour of e/i programming, because some affiliates might need it I guess (the FCC has a rule that all the local stations must air at least 3 hours of e/i programming per week). Previously, Stargate Infinity, Back to the Future: The Animated Series, Cubix, and Magical DoReMi filled that slot.
And well, that hour on the CW4Kids lineup has been that way since the Kids' WB! days back in September 2006. I guess it's because of legal reasonings or executive decisions involved when the extra hour was first put on the lineup... I'm not sure why CW4Kids needs one hour that has to be from 7-8 but 4Kids TV needs only a half hour at any time...
And yeah, I'm glad they're keeping Di-Gata and Biker Mice too. I think I can see GOGoRiKi premiering in November, but I haven't seen any CW previews (except the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and TMNT:BttS on the website) either.
I'll take a look and see if it's on 4Kids' site.
However, the new schedules have officially revealed themselves on Zap2it, and while the episode titles remain a mystery, the shows and statuses don't.
CW4Kids:
7:00 - Will & Dewitt (reruns)
7:30 - Magi-Nation (reruns)
8:00 - Skunk Fu! (reruns)
8:30 - Viva Pinata ("new season")
9:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man (reruns)
9:30 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer (new "series")
10:00 - Dinosaur King (new season)
10:30 - Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (new series)
11:00 - Chaotic (reruns)
11:30 - Chaotic (reruns)
The 4Kids TV schedule was already a given, so I don't really need to talk about that. But yeah, looks like no Eon Kid V_V the final episodes may just be DVD exclusive... this could be a marketing ploy to get us to buy them...
Okay, so here's what's going on according to 4Kids' site: apparently, I was sort of right about the CW4Kids lineup, but GoGORiKi will start September 27, and here is the schedule:
7:00 - Will & Dewitt
7:30 - Skunk Fu!
8:00 - Viva Piñata
8:30 - GoGORiKi
9:00 - The Spectacular Spider-Man
9:30 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer
10:00 - Dinosaur King
10:30 - Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
11:00 - Chaotic
11:30 - Chaotic
So it is being delayed, and Magi-Nation is gone. Hmmm, surprising... it was always getting higher ratings than Will & Dewitt... and GoGORiKi isn't in the first hour? I thought that was the E/I hour...
Hmmm, interesting. However, I heard that in 2009, there will be a fourth season of Winx Club (I'm seriously not joking here) in Italy. If 4Kids picks that up, it might replace Will & Dewitt for an E/I program.
Yeah, Magi-Nation will stay on the schedule until the 27th, when Skunk Fu! will replace its timeslot and Viva replacing SF's timeslot. Also, make sure to tune in on Friday September 12th, 2008 at 4:30pm (eastern) on The CW for a "Brand Spankin' New Spectacular Saturday Sneak Peek" show. I'm definitely gonna tune in to see what's what. However, I think their line-up is kind of stupid. They have new episodes overlapping new shows on the different channels. There are six shows that are either new seasons or new series, so they should be on at different times. Here's what I think they should do:
8:00 - Di-Gata Defenders (New Episodes)
8:30 - Biker Mice from Mars (New Episodes)
9:00 - GoGORiki (New Series)
9:30 - TMNT: Back to the Sewer (New Series)
10:00 - Chaotic: M'arrillian Invasion (New Series)
10:30 - Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (New Series)
With Viva Piñata, Will & Dewitt, Dinosaur King, Skunk Fu!, The Spectacular Spider-Man possibly having new episodes whenver. But seriously, what's with overlapping shows?!
