TEEN TITANS RETURNS TO KIDS WB THIS SATURDAY

[MattBrady]

Press Release

Kids’ WB! on The CW adds even more punch to its action-packed Saturday morning lineup with the return of the popular animated series Teen Titans this Saturday, December 1 at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Teen Titans features five teen super heroes each with special powers. Led by Robin, this group unites to form a force to protect their teeming, sun-baked city from a new generation of villains, while coping with the challenges of adolescence. As super heroes, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven are fully-developed, and when they work as a team, their powers are formidable. But they struggle with the typical teen challenges of sibling rivalry, taking responsibility, jealousy and fitting in with the group. Teen Titans is based on the popular DC Comics comic book characters; Emmy Award-winner Glen Murakami is producer of the series.

“This groundbreaking series has resonated with kids since its debut, and the series’ action, style and inherent humor are a perfect complement to our current broadcast lineup,” said Betsy McGowen, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Kids’ WB!

The December 1 airing will feature the first-ever episode of Teen Titans, entitled “Divide and Conquer.” Subsequent airings will not be in episodic order. To celebrate the new year, Kids’ WB! will offer a special two-part, one-hour special episode on January 5, 2008 entitled “Apprentice.”

The addition of Teen Titans will slightly alter the order of the top-rated Saturday morning kids broadcast lineup. “Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!” shifts to 8:00 a.m. ET/PT in place of repeat airings of “Tom and Jerry Tales.” The lineup will now air as follows:

7:00 AM Will & Dewitt TV-Y (E/I)
7:30 AM Magi-Nation TV-Y (E/I)
8:00 AM Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! TV-Y7
8:30 AM Tom and Jerry Tales TV-Y
9:00 AM Skunk Fu! TV-Y7
9:30 AM Teen Titans TV-Y7 FV
10:00 AM Eon Kid TV-Y7 FV
10:30 AM Johnny Test TV-Y7
11:00 AM Legion of Super Heroes TV-Y7 FV
11:30 AM The Batman TV-Y7 FV


A leader in children’s programming, Kids’ WB! continues to be a unique destination for kids. Kids’ WB!, now airing on The CW Network, has been the broadcast home for such cornerstone hits as the blockbusters Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, Emmy® Award-winners Xiaolin Showdown and The Batman, culturally diverse series Jackie Chan Adventures and ¡Mucha Lucha! Gigante, and breakout hits Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! and Legion of Super Heroes, among other favorites.

This is great news, I hope this will help the Titans Go comic book series. That is a great title. I'd love to see new episodes, but repeats are better than the alternative :-)

[grphxkindaguy]

they should also eventually show the TT movie, that came out after the series wrapped...

[Korvac]

Teen Titans would make a great lead-in to LOSH, especially this season, since the show is so much better now.

[God-Man]

Now if only they would produce NEW episodes.

There is no news here. These are just re-runs. Got my hopes up for new episodes.

And next Fall it all ends as the CW hands the control of Saturday Mornings to 4 Kids entertainment. Way to remind us what we're losing, guys.

Lets hope not. I like my Sat cartoons just the way they are. + Johnny test is awesome.

[Pseudoderm]

When is the new Spider-Man cartoon supposed to start airing on CW??

[Tiger Meat]

I've missed this show. Finally some new episodes.
Anyone down for the upcoming Tiny Titans comic?

they aren't new.

"divide and conquer" is the first episode of season 1 originally aired in august 2003. this is nothing more than a press release saying they are filling in air time with re-runs of a cancelled series.

I think you used the wrong word. "Dreck" is a euphemism for "bad". Since Legion is anything but bad, you must be using a wrong word. Maybe you meant "Awesome stuff"?

I'm looking forward to Tiny Titans. It looks like it could be DC's answer to Marvel's Franklin Richards one-shots for me.

Was this originally shown on the WB during Saturday mornings, or was it stuck with Justice League in the 8:00pm time slot on Cartoon Network since it was considered too dark for kiddie tv? If so, what changed? Because my kids have loved both TTG and JLU since they were 3 and 5.

[DaVeO]

Now if they can stop showing re-runs for LOSH and The Batman every other week.

uh, no. Last season of LOSH was barely tolerable, this season is beyond horrendous...

its sad to see that a LOSH cartoon could only survive w/the inclusion of (a) Superman...

Titans was shown first on Cartoon Network around late summer of 2003 at 9pm/est (five seasons in three years!!!!) while Justice League (when it was a full-hour of two-part episodes) was shown at 10pm/est. Then the WB aired it, but only the first two seasons.
