As of today, it is now listed on the schedule for December 1st at 4:30 PM ET on the metvtoons.com schedule as well.
I think this is great news. I'm excited about it!
I cannot wait for this channel to premiere and am so excited. I honestly haven't seen many of these shows before, but I can't think of a better steward of these shows than Me TV. For my money, I can't think of a better group (Weigel) to make this channel. They do an amazing job on MeTV with how...
I feel like they get better with every episode! I'm really enjoying it! And then I'm also enjoying the Saturday Morning Block too!
I've discovered so many shorts that I otherwise would have never seen, but that I now love. I'm really surprised!
It's also great with Bill and Toony and the cast...
Honestly, when looking at some of the Cartoon Network schedules recently, MeTV might be able to have more of a variety of cartoons on their schedule in just a few hours over the weekend than CN does through an entire week.
CN aired 6 shows this week? By the end of the month MeTV will be airing...
This is great news! I've been enjoying all of the cartoons MeTV has been running and I'm sure this will be another great addition.
I wonder if this is because The Flintstones are successful so far.
Airing once a week is great for the jetsons since they are a 24 episode show too.
I've never...
I've been loving the show so far. It's pretty much exactly what I hoped it would be. Still working on fully appreciating the hosted segments like Dan's Revenge talked about above, but I appreciate all the effort going into this and I'm pretty confident those segments will keep getting better as...
Just out of curiosity, does anyone think they should have found a way to pair up The Flintstones with their new animated shorts on Saturday morning? Or is it better to have everything spaced out with the shorts on Saturday and The Flintstones on Sunday?
Here's a promo for Toon in with me:

Along with character descriptions for the wrap around segments.
And then here are some promos for Saturday Morning Cartoons in addition to Toon In with Me:
I would love for this to happen and I think it would help CBS in the long term, but I'm not sure how they could make it work.
Right now they have CBS Dream Team from Litton for 3 hours to fulfill the E/I quota. If the E/I rule stays, they can't really get rid of the Litton stuff.
Saturday...
This has been a lot of fun to watch. It's been awhile since I've seen the 2003 TMNT (I remember loving the show, but forgot how good it is) and I never got the chance to see the 2012 show. So its been nice that they switch between the two every few hours!
I hope this channel lasts for awhile...
It doesn't look like the changes are all that substantial or create an environment that would lead to more children's programming. It creates a little flexibility for the stations, but thats about it unless I'm missing something.
I like how the block is improving. In the past, blocks like Toonzai and Vortexx have fizzled pretty quickly as time goes on, but KidsClick seems to be trying to get better and trying new things.
It would've been easy to have a boring schedule and air the same shows every day of the week, but...

Yeah, you make a lot of great points and I agree with all of this, especially how there are almost no shows to choose from to make a channel.
The nice thing about a channel is that you could potentially get picked up by a cable provider and have a second form of income through them, making it...
That's interesting. Do you think that's likely? I could almost see that happening.
I mean, TBD's programming isn't all that original and KidsClick does seem like a better fit for a channel for Sinclair than a block. Especially because it's almost impossible to air the block at a consistent time...
I think you're right about Yu-Gi-Oh!. And I think it's more likely that Sonic X comes in seeing as they promoted it when the block started and as you said, it has aired on various blocks in the past run by 4kids.
I kinda hope it replaces Angry Birds on weekdays, since Angry Birds would still...
I've never seen Dinosaur King, but I think it's cool that the weekday schedule has such a variety of different types of shows.
If I had to guess, I'd say...Sonic X? A surprise would be Kirby: Right Back at Ya! or one of the Yu-gi-Oh!'s - at least, I think those were dubbed by 4kids, but I...
It looks like Sonic X isn't coming in the near future. They commented on this facebook post saying: "at this point Sonic X is not coming to KidsCLICK in the near future. BUT please stay TOONed as we grow and add more shows."
This is cool, but I wonder why they chose Hulu instead of the Boomerang streaming service that they set up or Cartoon Network even.
Maybe Hulu could afford a bigger budget for a higher production quality?
It looks like the weekend schedule change might be permanent
They just posted this:
But they also said that new shows will be coming in the new year here:
I don't know if those shows would be coming sooner rather than later. I do think that's an encouraging sign for the block though!
And...
I think its a really good schedule! They're very creative with the types of shows they get. The Hot Wheels Two-Parters are an inventive way to split the movies and air them! They did a similar move when they combined the Angry Birds shorts into a full show, I think.
Pairing Winx Club with...
On the facebook page they replied to someone's comment with this:
Kids Click we will be refreshing our lineup with new episodes daily sept 11 and sept 1st look out to watch the episodes online and download mobile app to view anytime on the go

So it looks...
G.I. Joe: Renegades would be a good fit with either RoboCop: Alpha Commando or Max Steel. It would also work well with Transformers: Prime if that's brought in.
I checked ThisTV for a second and I saw that Max Steel had replaced Super 4. So I think the same issues were happening over there.
This is rough. I didn't realize it was so complicated to put together a block like this. Frankly, everyone else makes broadcasting shows in the correct time slot...
Watching the block today, I think I'm more okay with the bumpers and promos. I don't know if they got better or I was just more awake today.
I agree with others tho, lots of rookie mistakes. Like accidentally repeating the last segments from shows.
Haha you're right about Scary Larry. But to...
I thought that that was an interesting debut for the block.
When I was watching on ThisTV, they accidentally repeated the last Pink Panther and Pals short - A Pink and Stormy Night. So the second Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures started late and didn't have time to finish the episode before...
On twitter, I saw that NickandMore (I'm sure others picked up on this too, I just saw it there) noted that on the schedule Max Steel and Rocket Monkeys will both be starting with season 2. Disney XD and Nickelodeon didn't air those episodes.
That would mean that Max Steel, Rocket Monkeys, Super...
Cool! Also, in the schedule from that website that you linked to, Sonic X has been replaced by RoboCop Alpha Commando on weekdays and by Super 4 on weekends.
So they're not airing Sonic X at all right now.
Looks like there's a schedule change. Sonic X is out and Super 4 is in on weekends.
From the KidsClick Facebook Page
Personally, I think this improves the schedule a lot! And this means they've got two new series premiering on weekends, which is cool!
That was a great post and I agree with a lot of it. I thought this quote was one of the more interesting points. Vortexx pretty much fell apart shortly after it started, it felt like. Which might be important because a person from that block is running this block.
I think Vortexx did a good job...
That's interesting. So It looks like they got someone that's had a lot of experience with these broadcast blocks to run it and pick the shows and set the lineup (which might explain Sonic X returning).
Speaking of previous blocks, I feel like their strategy differs from Vortexx's strategy which...
It's cool that they are aiming it at parents and grandparents who watch the local news in some of these markets. It looks like that's how they will pull kids away from CN and Nick, by telling adults where to change the channel to. That's not really a marketing strategy anyone else could use. I...
This is the schedule from that link, by the way.
WEEKDAY SCHEDULE
6:00am - Sonic X
6:30am - Max Steel
7:00am - Angry Birds
7:30am - Miraculous LadyBug
8:00am - Rocket Monkeys
8:30am - Super 4
SATURDAY SCHEDULE
5:00am - Robocop Alpha Command
5:30am - Sonic X
6:00am - Pac-Man and the Ghostly...
Those weekend times are not great. 5-7 am and then 1-2 pm on Saturday. And 12-3 pm on Sunday. I thought they might have a little more control over the scheduling since they own the stations.
Good point! So if I had to guess, I'd go with:
7:00 - RoboCop: The Animated Series
7:30 - Max Steel
8:00 - Rocket Monkeys
8:30 - Pink Panther and Pals
9:00 - Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir
9:30 - Zak Storm: Space Pirate
That's just my guess though.
I think that would be a weekend show.
Great article! I think the Angry Birds and Transformers fun are the short-form shows that were previously mentioned. Angry Birds Toons and Transformers: Cyber Missions, maybe.
That website is nice too! And it features all the shows in the previous article...
