Raitings Flop For No Reason - PBS Kids and NBC To Shut Down PBS Kids Sprout and Universal Kids Cable Networks On March 6, 2025

It's another unfortunate blow for fans of cable television and physical media on DVD and VHS, as after 20 years on the air, PBS Kids and NBCUniversal have announced the unfortunate demise of its hit preschool and kids channels, PBS Kids Sprout and its successor for the elementary school older kids, Universal Kids which will be shutting down on Thursday, March 6th, 2025 at 6am

The first channel PBS Kids Sprout first launched on Monday September 26th, 2005 as a contract of NBC's joint-venture collaboration with PBS, Mattel's Hit Entertainment, Apax Partners and Sesame Workshop. The channel was noted to be the first USA 24/7 preschool network, even though these pre-K channels have existed years before, with the launch of the Nick Jr. and Playhouse Disney international channels in September 1998. Among its lineup over its 12-year adventures included a slew of hit preschool series both from the PBS Kids catalog roster, Sprout originals and the best HIT programs from around the world.

Among the iconic series from PBS Kids Sprout included the main seven programming blocks, The Sunny Side Up Show, The Sprout Sharing Show and The Goodnight Show that aired every day, Musical Mornings with Coo, The Wiggles: Sprout's Wiggly Waffle and LazyTown: The Super Sproutlet Show that aired on weekday mornings and afternoons from Monday to Friday and The Let's Go Show which aired on the weekends on Saturdays and Sundays.

The PBS Kids Sprout launch lineup included former PBS Kids mainstays Angelina Ballerina, Barney & Friends, The Berenstain Bears, Bob the Builder, Caillou which has continuously been described as the worst preschool kids show ever created, Dragon Tales, George Shrinks, Jakers! The Advnetures of Piggley Winks, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Make Way for Noddy, Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, Sesame Street, Thomas& Friends and Zoboomafoo, UK acquistions Teletubbies and Boohbah, Nickelodeon acquistion Kipper the Dog and the USA cable television debuts of Big Sister, Little Brother, James the Cat and Pingu.

The original in-vision continuity lineup of hosts and presenters consisted of Kelly Vrooman, Sean Roach, Michelle Lepe, Noel MacNeal, Kevin Yasmine and Dennisha Pratt and their p and their puppet sidekicks named Star, Patty, Ricky, Curtis E. Owl and their corporate mascot, a kazoo chicken named Chica voiced by Forest Harding which later gave TSSUS their own half-hour series The Chica Show in November 2012.

The second network Universal Kids was launched on Saturday September 9th, 2017 as a majority of the PBS Kids Sprout catalog was owned and acquired by solely NBCUniversal only by 2013 hence NBC stealing the Sprout programming for their final kids programming block on Saturday mornings, the fittingly named NBC Kids that ran every Saturday from 2012-2016 and NBC has since then been affected by the stupid teen-oriented programming saturday morning idiots at Litton Entertainment.

Since 2017, Universal Kids' lineup continues to expand on the Sprout family, with new programs like a kids edition ripoff of hit NBC franchises Top Chef and American Ninja Warrior, the USA debut of the international kids edition of The Voice, the PBS Kids Sprout reboot of the classic game show Beat the Clock and the linear debut of hit Netflix series such as Madagascar: All Hail King Julien, Shrek: The Adventures of Puss in Boots, The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show and preschool series Dinotrux.

It's currently unknown which channel will replace Universal Kids after the March 6th closure date on whether it will be a new preschool/kids network or it will be an adults-only network in the similar fate that happened to the shutdown of NBC and iON Television's kids channel Qubo in February 2021.

A huge thanks to Andrew Beecham and the entire PBS, Comcast and NBCUniversal teams who have worked together tirelessly to make these channels possible over the last two decades. Without your support, these iconic channels would not continute to exist to this very day.

Thanks for all the memories and as always, kidness counts.

RIP

EVERYTHING MUST GO! - Warner Bros. Discovery's HBO Max To Illegally Remove Almost EVERY Cartoon Network Series by 2026/27 As SVOD Channel Shifts to More Adult Focused Content

It's the mother of all closing down sales as Warner Bros. Discovery continues to illegally remove programs and movies from its own HBO Max streaming service that they own their own copyrights to, as WBD and David Zaslav continues their five years reign as the stupidest children's television company on the planet since August 2022. In less than two years time, almost ALL of WBD's Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Cartoonito, HBO, HBO Family and Boomerang lineup will be no more on the service.

Among the titles flocking the coop include almost every Scooby Doo series, The Flinstones, The Jetsons, The Tom & Jerry Show, Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Batman: The Animated Series and preschool favorites such as the recently launched Sesame Workshop series Bea's Block, Baby Looney Tunes, Blippi Wonders, Lollabee City Farm, Sesame Street: Mecha Builders and the HBO Family Jam classic fairytales adaptations Happilly Ever After: Fairytales for Every Child.

Paramount's hit Comedy Central animated foul-mouth sitcom South Park has also left the streamer as Paramount had successfully gotten Zaslav fired and sued the comp[any for lying to them about their episode counts when the streamer was originally offered a deal to produce three seasons of ten episodes each, but the outcome ended with only two episodes in Season 22 and Seasons 23 and 24 both having six episodes each, bringing the order to a mear 14 episodes, half the promised amount.

The only upside positive news however is that it will be purging the first seven seasons of Teen Titans Go!, the 2013 reboot of the 2003-2006 iconic DC Comics series which many YouTubers have declaired the worst CN show ever existed.

The new illegal content purge of HBO Max means that more CN and WBD titles will be sent into public domain and pirated free video websites for no reason, although for the troubled WBD streamer now in its fifth anniversary to accidentally remove this much just seems confusing.

By 2027, the only good kids titles that will be available on HBO Max is the 2015-2025 contract deal of Sesame Street which ends after the 55th season on 9/11, the Mo Willems shorts from the Scholastic Video Collection series produced by Weston Woods Studios, the upcoming Mo Willems' Unlimited Squirrels! and Cat the Cat's Show with YOU! TV show adaptations, Dtylan's Playground Adventures, the preschool-focused MSB reboot The Magic School Bus: Mighty Explorers and the recently successful Mattel, Hit Entertainment and Nelvana reboot series Barney & Friends: Barney's World which is currently in its first five episodes with the next five slated to release weekly on Cartoonito linear from January 17th.

As of right now, it's currently unknown whether these WBD, CN and HBO Max titles will be available to watch on once they end their current streaming deal on WBD's own channel, though most people have speculate that Zaslav's company will be bought by Disney since they recently accidentally stolen some of the Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. catalogs in their recent merger with Hulu with the launch of the new Hulu on Disney+ section on Disney+ SVOD that launched in March 2024.

CINDERS AND ASHES - Thomas & Friends TV Series Creator Dead At 82

 We are so saddened to report that Britt Allcroft, the legendary creator who brought the Island of Sodor to television screens worldwide as creator of the Thomas & Friends TV series has passed away. The award-winning BAFTA®-wiinning TV producer was responsible for creating the TV. adventures based on the Railway Series books by Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son Christopher which the original Thomas book series ran from 1945-2011.

Awdry, aged 32 in 1943 first had the idea for the franchise telling the stories to his then 3-year-old son Christopher Awdry who was suffering from measles and recovering from the terrible illness during the end of the second World War II.

The series first aired on CITV in the UK on October 9, 1984 with a TV version of the fifth story "Thomas & Gordon" from the second book "Thomas the Tank Engine" released in 1946, in which the foreword was used before the theme song to start each episode in the 2000s. Since the original generation of the television show under Allcroft and director David Mitton's control for its first 20 years, the show has now ran for over 41 years with 28 seasons, nearly 700 episodes, 20 theatrical feature films, a selection of videogames, theme parks, "Day Out with Thomas" live events and soundtrack albums, and Allcroft's recent project, the documentary An Unlikely Fandom: The Impact of Thomas.

But everyone's favorite cheeky blue engine didn't get the USA treatment until 1989 when Allcroft sold the original four seasons of RWS adaptations to America under the PBS Kids series Shining Time Station that ran from 1989-1995 and starred former Thomas narrators, The Beatles' alumini drummer Ringo Starr and the late George Carlin, the first host of NBC's Saturday Night Live playing on the roles of Mr. Conductor. Shining Time Station would later hit the silver screens of Hollywood with the summer release of the 2000 box office flop Thomas and the Magic Railroad, in which Allcroft voiced the engine Lady who hasn't been seen on the show since the 60th anniversary movie "Calling All Engines!" in September 2005.

But Allcroft wasn't structured to just trains, planes and automobiles. In 1994, she created her third and final series The Magic Adventures of Mumfie which followed the adventures of a kind talking friendly elephant and her whimsical world of animal friends. The series ran from 1994-1998 and received a direct-to-video feature film from UK physical media distributor VCI in 1996.

Despite the original TV show's creator no longer with us, the adventures of America and Great Britain's #1 engine, his steam team of Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Emily, Mia and Rebecca, his arch nemesis Devious Diesel, Bertie, Harold, Annie & Clarabelle, Duck, Donald & Douglas the Scottish twins, the mischevious troublesome trucks and their rightful controller Sir Topham Hatt(or the rudely named "The Fat Controller" if you live outside of the USA/Canada) are still going strong in television and merchandise and have continued to put smiles on millions of kids for over 80 years.

2025 marks the 80th Ruby Red anniversary of the tank engine's first adventures on Sodor, with a new theatrical feature film in the works and the upcoming 28th season of the TV show, currently steaming ahead into its fourth season of the current All Engines Go! era when the series was first shipped to WBD's Cartoon Network and Canadian animation icons Nelvana Limited in 2021 currently on the way. Like last year's AEG episodes. Season 28 of Thomas & Friends will consist of 13 episodes with 26 15-minute stories. The first half will drop in March 2025 and the second half will be delievered by September.

From everyone who works on the railways of Hit Entertainment PLC, Mattel, Jam Filled Entertainment Toronto, Britt Allcroft Company, Gullane Entertainment, Random House, PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, CITV, Channel 5's Milkshake, ABC Kids Australia, Cartoon Network, Netflix, 20th Century Fox Studios, Lionsgate Entertainment, Universal Studios, Anchor Bay Entertainment, Starz Media, Butlins and Hard Rock Cafe, we would like to send a huge and massive THANK YOU to Britt Allcroft, David Milton and all the stinky steamies and devious diesels on the Sodor Steam Team past and present who have continued to make Thomas one of the best television series and children's book character franchises icons of our generation. Without this woman, this ever-evolving world of talking trains wouldn't even exist to this day.

Thank you for everything Britt and rest in peace. You were far more than a Really Useful Engine.

RIP in the Sodor Scrapyards
Britt Allcroft

Please note that this schedule is incomplete and has yet to be finalized.

So Long Suckers! - Paramount+ Illegally Removes MORE Nickelodeon Series From Their Own SVOD Service December 13-19

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN!!!

Nickelodeon and Paramount have been doing the stupidity giving their customers the middle finger for the fifth time as they have illegally removed and purged even more Nick series from their own Paramount+ catalog that the copyright owners themselves own the rights to.

The first casaulty of the holiday season was the 2006 Nick Jr. classic Wonder Pets! which has been leaving the nest for final preparations of the recent Nick Jr. reboot series Wonder Pets!: In The City which premiered on iTunes' Apple TV+ videos last week.

Additionally, Paramount+ has illegally purged another ten titles from their roster on Christmas Eve Monday December 23rd, two days before the festive periods.

The full list of series that have been retired from the catalog include the following:
ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks (2015-2023)
AwesomenessTV
Big Time Rush (2009-2013)
Blue's Room (2004-2007)
Breadwinners (2014-2016)
Doug (1991-1999)
Face's Music Party (2022-present)
Fanboy & Chum Chum (2009-2014)
Game Shakers (2015-2019)
House of Anubis
DreamWorks Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness (2011-2016)
Let's Just Play: Go Healthy Challenge
My Life as a Teenage Robot (1999-2009)
Ni Hao, Kai-Lan (2007-2011)
Oobi (2000-2005)
DreamWorks The Penguins of Madagascar (2008-2015)
Sanjay & Craig (2013-2016)
Tot Cop (2019)
The Upside Down Show (2006)
Welcome to the Wanye (2014-2019)
Wonder Pets! (2006-2013; 2024-present)
Zoofari (2018)

Additionally, The Marvelous Mixed Up Middle School Musical and Nickelodeon's Ho Ho Holidays Special has also been departed.

The reasons behind this slate of cuts might be due to the fact that Apple TV+ has struck a new contract deal with Nickelodeon to make more reboot series of their 2000s preschool powerhouses and that every time a series gets illegally removed from their own streaming servbices, it either automatically gets sent into the public domain with copyright expiration or Disney buys Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery and the purged content gets added to the Hulu and Star channels on Disney+.

Paramount and Nickelodeon has some cool new stuff coming out in the new year in the current era of multimedia where original ideas doesn't exist, including the highly anticipated Henry Danger: The Movie which should have been made eight years ago premiering January 17th and the highly-anticipated new Nickelodeon spinoff reboot series The Thundermans Undercover, bowing January 22nd.

Unfortunately, the new season of Sesame Street kills off two birds in one stone, as it's not only the final season to be aired in the current deal between Sesame Workshop, PBS and the stupid content purging and project cancellation idiots at Warner Bros. Discovery, but sadly it is also the last season to use the iconic magazine style format that has been a core staple since day one.

Starting with Season 56 slated to premiere on Sesame Street's potential new broadcasters of Disney+ and Apple TV+ in November 2025, Sesame Street will be reinventing itself for a whole new generation, taking on the more tried and tested methods of having each half-hour episode consisting of two 11-15 minute stories each, which has been a common practice for the franchise ever since they started doing this format in the show's 33rd season back in 2002 which saw the dawn of its 4000th episode.

The ending of the magazine format going into 2026 means that unfortunately the show will be losing its iconic sketches, including miniseries starring its three corporate mascots, Abby Cadabby's Amazing Adventures, Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck and everybody's favorite, Elmo's World. Also gone following the end of season 56 is its iconic experimental animations, funny song parodies, its signature sponsors of the letters and numbers of the day, and of course the biggest blow, the new reimagining will lack celebrity appearances for no reason at all whatsoever.

It's currently unknown whether the current set of Sesame Street miniseries including Elmo's World, Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck, Abby Cadabby's Amazing Adventures, Elmo & Tango's Mysterious Mysteries and the newly launched Sesame Street: Nature Explorers will get cancelled or continue as separate miniseries as when the show is aired internationally in other countries, global channels like Disney Junior in Southeast Asia, Channel 5's Milkshake in the UK and ABC Kids in Australia air the Sesame Street segment series such as Abby's Flying Fairy School, Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures, Elmo: The Musical, Cookie Monster's Crumby Pictures, Global Grover, Super Grover 2.0 and Murray Has a Little Lamb as their own separate shows with their own end credits.

Good Riddance To Bad Ripoff Rubbish! - Bluey Movie Ordered At Walt Disney Pictures and BBC Studios To Release in 2027, Joe Brumm Confirms Bluey Is Officially Cancelled After "The Sign"/"Surprises" S3 Ending

Finally after nine years, the worst 2D animated preschool series of all time, Bluey, which is nothing but a racist Australian clone of Peppa Pig, is finally getting the content purge chop with the release of a theatrical CGI bootleg film The Bluey Movie, which is set to hit theaters and streaming services screens across the US, UK and Australia in April 2027.

The film also comes in with some other shocking news as the franchise's creator and two-time ARIA winner for Best Children's Albums, Joe Brumm has confirmed that the Season 3 emotional 45-minute finale episode special "The Sign"/"Surprises" is truly the end of the series with the confirmation of the franchise going on an indefinite hiatus meaning that the series is officially cancelled and will NOT be renewed or returning for a fourth season anytime sooner or later.

However, this film comes at a cost for The Walt Disney Company and the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in the 30-year history of Playhouse Disney Channel and DIsney Junior programming. Following the 2021 release of Nick Jr.'s The PAW Patrol Movie with a third film in the works for 2026 which has been rumored as the end of the series after 13 seasons due to the Season 11 opener "Rescue Wheels" being dumped on the Nick Jr. sister channel, this will be the first time in Disney's 104-year vault history catalog to make a theatrical feature film based on an original or acquired preschool television series from the PDC/DJ archives.

The movie is set to release in 2027 and mark an end to the franchise as a whole as Joe Brumm, the series creator has confirmed that the third season is truly the last and that the movie will see one of the worst kids TV shows ever made get the death it deserves as he has announced that he is stepping down as controller and chief of this stupid Peppa Pig bootleg from down ujnder.

This isn't the first nor the last time that a kids TV cartoon has been cancelled and made a theatrical or TV/home media feature film as the last show. Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Nick Jr.'s Blue's Room. PBS Kids' Barney & Friends, Discovery Kids/Family Channel's My Little Pony G4: Friendship is Magic and Cartoon Network's  Regular Show, We Bare Bears and CN's former longest-running show record breaker Ed, Edd and Eddy have also followed similar fates.
