The best place for cartoons with pants and with no pants.

"So hang with us, and then you'll see

 Dubba-dubba's all in the family

Jammin' this place for kids to be

Dubba-dubba Kids Dubba-dubba WB!"
—From a music video promoting the block (aired circa 1998)

Yakko Warner: What is a dubba anyway?

Jeff Bennett: We don't know, but it's awfully fun to say!
—The Saturday morning block's intro sequence from the fall of 1996

Kids' WB! was the Saturday morning and weekday afternoon childrens' programming block on The WB (and The CW for its first-and-a-half year), and it deserves special mention as being not only the longest running Saturday morning block in television history, but also the only block of its kind to outlive the channel it was created for.

The name now lives on a website featuring the Looney Tunes shorts, the Hanna-Barbera library, and the DC Comics-based cartoons. For those of you who prefer the original television block, click here to view a blast of the block's past.
