  • Kids' WB! is a defunct children's programming block that aired the Pokémon anime starting with "The Problem with Paras" Before Pokémon moved to Kids' WB! it was in syndication on The FOX Network.The cartoon block kept airing Pokémon until Pasta La Vista! the last episode dubbed into English by 4Kids Entertainment the only Pokémon USA production aired on the block was The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. Originally Kids' WB had sold all the past episodes to Cartoon Network (their sister network).After The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon Kids' WB! announced that The WB would drop all anime programming due to The WB and UPN merging to create The CW this meant a new home for the children's block. On October 2, 2008 The CW announced that they would turn the block over to 4Kids Entertainment who would name it The CW4Kids. However the children's programming block was relaunched along with The WB into online networks. On April 28, 2008, Kids' WB, alongside The WB, relaunched as online networks.
  • In 2014, Kids' WB! was revived as a television network by the SLN! media group.
  • Many of the shows set in the Looney Tunes Universe were aired on Kids' WB!, especially during the later half of the 1990s.
  • Animaniacs was the very first show to be broadcast as part of Kids' WB!, and as such, a lot of early hype for the programming block revolved around the fact that the show was moving there from Fox Kids. The WB aired a preview special titled Welcome Home, Animaniacs!, in which previews of each of the shows featured on the programming block were presented by the stars of the network's prime-time shows, alongside animation of Yakko, Wakko and Dot leaving the Fox network and driving to the WB studio. The show was aired on Kids' WB! on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons from then until September 1999. Alongside the third season of Animaniacs, the Pinky and the Brain spin-off series also debuted as part of Kids' WB!'s inaugural year, alongside fellow Warner Bros. cartoons The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries and Freakazoid! and Universal Studios' Earthworm Jim. In its first season, Pinky and the Brain also aired as part of The WB's Sunday night line-up. By September of 1996, it was dropped from the Sunday night schedule, but remained on the Kids' WB!'s Saturday morning line-up through 1998 and on the weekday afternoon line-up until September of 1999. In the fall of 1998, following the cancellation of Animaniacs, both shows were taken off of Kids' WB!'s Saturday morning line-up, but remained on weekday afternoons for the following year. It was in that season that Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain debuted on the Saturday morning block before being dropped from the schedule in January 1999. The final episodes of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain were aired together as The Animaniacs Super Special on November 14, 1998. On January 16, 1999, Kids' WB! debuted The Cat & Birdy Warneroonie Pinky Brainy Big Cartoonie Show, a 90-minute show which combined segments from Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain along with Looney Tunes shorts and segments from Tiny Toon Adventures and The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. However, when Kids' WB! started running Pokemon on Saturday mornings, The Big Cartoonie Show was shortened down to a half-hour show and only showed segments from Animaniacs and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain (several of which had not aired before). At the start of the 1999-2000 season, the Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain shows themselves were taken off of the weekday afternoon schedule, but remained on Kids' WB! in the form of the second season of The Big Cartoonie Show, now renamed The Cat & Bunny Warnernoonie Super Looney Big Cartoonie Show. The compilation show continued to air on Kids' WB!'s Saturday morning and weekday afternoon schedules until September 11, 2000, at which point the shows were taken off of Kids' WB! altogether. Despite Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain having been on the original Kids' WB! programming block for such a long time, neither show is featured on the online network that shares its name.
  • Reruns of Tiny Toon Adventures were aired weekday mornings on Kids' WB! from September 1, 1997 to September 6, 1999. To promote the series airing on Kids' WB!, new promotional spots starring the characters were made using animation from the show itself, many with newly-recorded dialogue from the voice actors. In addition to the series' reruns, segments from Tiny Toons were also aired alongside Looney Tunes shorts and segments from Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain as part of the compilation program The Cat & Birdy Warneroonie Pinky Brainy Big Cartoonie Show (later retitled The Cat & Bunny Warneroonie Super Looney Big Cartoonie Show), which ran from January 16, 1999, to September 10, 2000. In-between these two dates, Tiny Toon Adventures itself was dropped from the network's schedule, though one full episode was aired again as part of a special Super Bowl-themed broadcast in January 2000.
