Where were you on October 10, 2010 when Discovery Kids was shutdown in the USA? I still think shutting down Discovery Kids was a big mistake
>>151998907It's last 4 hours were a Kenny the Shark marathon that acted as a sendoff for Discovery Kids. In fact, Kenny the Shark was the only show that aired that day, because starting at 10AM, Discovery Kids died
>>151998907I was livid when it happened...but it was a drop of water when I had to watch jetix get shut down and even that was nothing compared to when fox kids shut down.
>>151998907Anyone else?
>>151998907browsing /b/ most likely.
>>151998907Did anyone on /co/ see the final hours of Discovery Kids before it went away forever and died?
>mfw no one will ever upload Splat! Including myself
>>151998907I stayed up all night and into that morning to see it go at my grandparents house in my aunt's room, it was sad to see it go cause that's the only channel where I could watch Time Warp Trio, Tutenstein, Mystery Hunters, and Truth or sacred
>>151998907Did this have anything to do with the Discovery Channel with stuff like Mythbusters, or are they completely separate things that just have the same word in their names?
Long live the Hub!!!!!!!
>>151998907I remember amazing animals was nice.
i miss them the most.
Hub was better anyway
>>151998907Bump
>the network I’ve lost… >the cartoons I’ve lost… >it won't stop hurting!....
>>151998907Remember Hi-5?"Ready or Not" has been stuck in my head for almost 20 years
>>152005058I remember that show and Hip Hop Harry
>>152002902It had a completely different lineup of shows. It was a kids version of the Discovery Channel and it even had animated shows like Kenny the Shark, Tutenstein, The Magic School Bus, Tracey McBean, Time Warp Trio, Growing Up Creepie, Grossology, and The Future is Wild, though Tracey McBean was long gone by the time Discovery Kids shutdownThey also had a preschool block of shows with live action shows like Hi-5 and Hip Hop Harry along with animated shows like Peep and the Big Wide World and Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks
>>151998907>October 10, 2010I remember because that was quite a momentous day for another reason. I'd post an image, but I'd get b&.
>>151998907Why did Discovery Kids shut down? This actually pissed me off because it was a channel entirely dedicating to inspiring kids about the world and getting kids more curious about the world
>>152003039Amazing Animals never aired on Discovery Kids USA
>>152000834Splat! never aired on Discovery Kids USA either. This thread is only about Discovery Kids USA and how it was a big mistake to shut down a channel that showcased kids the world and inspired kids to learn more about the world around them
>>151998907The final words ever spoken on Discovery Kids was "What!? You always get the front flippers!" from the Kenny the Shark segment "Who Framed Kenny the Shark"
I swore, it's some rando Toonzone samefaggot that's responsible for these threads.Bitch keeps samefagging in these threads. 4chan programmers should be ashamed for removing the IP counter.
>>151998907Why did Discovery Kids not add anything in 2008 and 2009 and most of 2010 before the channel shutdown? The last show ever added/last one premiered on Discovery Kids was The Future is Wild in October 2007, 3 years before the channel closed down
>>151998907Anyone else see Discovery Kids die?
>>152005221>ToonzoneGood lord. I haven't heard that name in ages.
>>151998907I'm obsessed with Discovery Kids and to this day, I still have no fucking idea why they killed the channelFuck David Zaslav. He's the reason the channel died! I wish he never became CEO of Discovery
It's funny that Discovery Family is now under Cartoon Network.
>>151998907I don’t remember much about that part of my life but I do remember really liking Discovery Kids. A lot of the shows were unique and weren’t afraid of making some spooky shit. Like Truth or Scare (R.I.P. Michelle Tratchenburg) or Growing Up Creepy.
>>151998907Since Kenny the Shark was the final show to ever air on Discovery Kids, I'm wondering if anyone here remembers anything about that show
>>152006843I have autism and Discovery Kids was something I loved. I still have no idea why David Zaslav killed the channel
>>151998907David Zaslav is the WORST CEO ever! I'll never understand why he basically killed Discovery Kids back on October 10th, 2010
God I hate autistic people like OP
>>152005156Hasbro bought a majority stake in the network.
Autist running around in this thread
>>152005459Because they acknowledged they weren't going to beat Disney, Warner and Viacom when it came to kids? They stopped their deal to supply programming to NBC's Satam block, which meant all shows were going to live and die off of their viewership on a niche cable channel.Willa's Wild Life was originally intended for Discovery Kids USA, but I guess they dropped out: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2008/04/08/discovery-kids-2008-2009-upfront-slate-enables-young-imaginations-to-run-wild-27204/20080408discovery03/
>>152006968>my kind of autism is better than your kind of autism!!!
>>152007413Hasbro should have never done that, because The Hub was just a stupid channel only made to sell toys and it was a gigantic failure. Nobody watched that network and nobody liked that network which is why it only lasted 4 years. Discovery Family sucks tooThey should've never gotten rid of Discovery Kids and Discovery Kids should've been basic cable as well. The fact that a channel mostly dedicated to new (at the time) shows was on digital cable was stupid honestly, especially for a channel that wasn't cynical at all. It was earnest in inspiring kids about the world and getting them curious about the world
>>152007510I don't even get why they stopped their partnership with NBC. That was a big mistake. Had they continued their partnership, Growing Up Creepie, Dinosapien, Bindi the Jungle Girl, and The Future is Wild could've aired on NBC. Grossology on the other hand probably would've just been exclusive to Discovery Kids channel since it was an import, just like how Tracey McBean, Serious, and Mystery Hunters were just imports
>>152005058NORTHSOUTHEASTWEST
>>151998907Did anyone see Discovery Kids die on October 10, 2010?
>>151998907>>151999858>>152000350>>152004892>>152006046>>152008183what's with /co/ and having a bunch of Deviantart tier autists? >cartoonsyeah I know the obvious but why would they do it on a Mumbai shit collecting forum?
>>151998907RIP Ready Set Learn (1992-2010)RIP Paz the Penguin (2003-2010)
>>152007630Because they had to pay NBC for that air time and they obviously didn't think it was worth the money. The ratings reports I've found for that block suggest it was competing for the least watched of the Saturday morning kids offerings. Its nearest competition was Nick Jr. reruns on CBS, not KidsWB.Which is why they stopped funding kids content. They sucked at making things kids wanted to watch. The cable channel was niche so it likely couldn't support huge investment on its own, but the SatAm block was also unpopular, so that offered little support.
>>152008548I still have no idea how 4Kids TV of all things had higher ratings than Discovery Kids on NBC. Yeah, I know those 4Kids TV ratings are low, but I saw other places where stupid crap like their bad Winx Club dub, their crappy Sonic X dub, and that crappy Bratz show got like 1.7s or 2.2s or something, much higher than Discovery Kids. The 4Kids stuff is unwatchable so I have no idea how they performed better than DK stuff
>>152008806Years-old Disney Channel reruns clocking everyone but KidsWB should upset you more. Even worse when you consider that Disney somehow got the FCC to believe their shows counted as E/I content.
>>152005130Is that still enforced? Talk about beating a dead horse!
>>152008904I have no idea why Disney never used shows like Higglytown Heroes and Bear in the Big Blue House for ABC Kids. Those shows are educational
>>1520088064Kids had brands I recognized. Sonic, Kirby, Ninja Turtles. What did Discovery Kids have?
>>152009831The Discovery Kids on NBC block had Time Warp Trio, which was based on a book series of the same name. They also had a kids version of Trading Spaces called Trading Spaces: Boys vs Girls when it came to familiar brands
>>151998907Why isn't anyone responding?
>>151998907Honestly, a huge mistake The Hub made when it replaced Discovery Kids was replacing the Discovery Kids shows (which weren't even that old) with old shows that ended long ago like Batman Beyond, Men in Black, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Adam West Batman, the OG Transformers and GI Joe, etc. Part of what made Discovery Kids good was that it didn't air a bunch of old shows. Kids don't want to watch old shows and The Hub made a shitty mistake doing that. That's the main reason that channel died after just 4 years
>>152009413That's not what beating a dead horse means.
>>151998907Well?
>>152006840I remember Kenny hated how great whites got more attention than tiger sharks. And Kat had a friend called Oscar who had some Inca or Aztec shit going on. Also Kenny loved chasing seals, and Kat’s dad was some kind of hippy or some shit?
>>151998907Recession cost cutting.
>>151998907>October 10, 2010
>>152012613Are you referencing >>152005130?
>>151998907I don't remember, in my country Discovery Kids was cool in the 90s and early 00s but by 2002, they had changed all their programing to toddler shit.
>>152013083That's unfortunate
>>151998907I want to know
>>151998907Why did Discovery Kids get low ratings? Even the NBC block had low ratings
>>151998907Why doesn't anyone want to reply in this thread?
>>152001630I loved Tutenstein one of the things I always seethed about because we didn't get discovery kids
>>152014777Tutenstein actually had surprisingly good production values for a Discovery Kids show. It's not Ed Edd n Eddy or Avatar or anything, but it's production values were still genuinely good
>>152003143>>152005009cute birbs
>>151998907I was 19 in my first year of art school. It was a good year for me. I didn't watch Discovery Kids, even though I still watched cartoons on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. This didn't affect me.
>>151998907Im surprised nobody's replying since /co/ has talked about many old things that either no longer exist ot are no longer popular
>>152010568"Beating a dead horse" can also be used to describe futile or unnecessary efforts, not just tired discussions.In the first place, it was a loud minority that was upset about MLP. GR15 would have never been made if moot's e-mail hadn't been held hostage. Enforcing a rule that no sane person wanted is even dumber now that nobody cares.
>>151998907Seems weird to me that they shut down the channel in the US, in my country they kept going until the present day. What did they air? I wonder if it was any different from what we got.
>>152016821That's because you keep doing these threads everyday. Anons are too busy with other threads about other topics and anons only brought up it's successors, but only to bring up either the forbidden show, Dan vs, and/or Transformers Prime.
>>151998907in my bedroom happily witnessing the launch of the brand-spanking new Hub Network, which was way more exciting than boring ass Discovery Channel Jr. too bad discovery was retarded about the whole thing and didn't make an effort to expand the channel's distribution which led it to crash and burn in less than half a decade.
>>152018017How was The Hub a better channel than Discovery Kids?>>152017970It was mostly live action shows like Endurance, Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, Truth or Scare, Flight 29 Down, Darcy's Wild Life, Saddle Club, etc. That being said, they did have a few cartoons like Kenny the Shark, Tutenstein, Time Warp Trio, Growing Up Creepie, Grossology, and The Future is WildThey did also have a preschool block as well like Hip Hop Harry and Peep and the Big Wide World and Hi-5
>>152007537True and factual. Fuck other autists and their retarded faggot shit
>>152018375Colorful horses. Simple as
>>152018375more variety and broader appeal.
>>152018749How did The Hub have more variety and broader appeal? They didn't really have any good shows on it. Pretty much all the Discovery Kids shows were either only on in shitty timeslots or completely removed when the channel became The Hub, with the only ones staying on in good timeslots being Tutenstein, Endurance, Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, and Truth or ScarePlus, The Hub felt more like a boys network. I mean, Men in Black reruns? Batman Beyond reruns? Transformers Prime? G.I. Joe Renegades? Dan Vs.? Those were very boy targeted. Discovery Kids on the other hand, felt a lot more gender neutral and many of the shows on Discovery Kids even had female or co-female lead (Darcy's Wild Life, Scouts Safari, Truth or Scare, Tutenstein, Kenny the Shark, Growing Up Creepie, Grossology, The Future is Wild, Magic School Bus reruns, and Strange Days at Blake Holsey High to name a few). Pretty much all the shows on The Hub felt aimed at the male demographic
>>151998907I miss Paz
>>151998907Does anyone have any Discovery Kids recordings because I really want more Discovery Kids commercial breaks to be online
>>152014741beats me
>>151998907I like the globe logo
>>152021328Same, that blue makes me feel nostalgic even if I never had the chance to watch the channel
>>151998907How come there have been more threads on /co/ of Dan Vs than the Discovery Kids shows? I prefer the Discovery Kids shows to Dan Vs because Dan Vs felt more male centric in its cast than female or equal? Sure there was that girl that I forget the name of, but Dan was the sole star of the show. The Discovery Kids shows felt a lot more female-centric than Dan Vs was
>>151998907Is anybody here?
>>152018814It had diminutive horse show
>>151998907How come most don't miss this network?
>>152003143Is there a torrent for this? Im looking for this show and meg mog and owl.
>>152024227The episodes are on YouTube. There might be torrent, I'm not sure
>>151998907I miss edutainment TV
>>151998907This thread feels dead
>>152024893>tfw instead of that kids these days have tiktok brainrotGrim
>>152025594Agree
>>151998907So how come barely anyone remembers what it was like to see Discovery Kids close?
>>152014777Checked, Me too man, thankfully the episodes were uploaded to youtube
>>151998907I can't believe this was 15 years ago already. I feel old
>>152027642Time flies, anon.
>>152028694Sure does
>>151998907>Discovery KidsWhat do they have, again?
>>15199890710/10/10 at 10AM, DK died. That's a lot of 10s
>>152031156These were their staple shows basically or most notable showsTruth or Scare, Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, Endurance, Tutenstein, Mystery Hunters, Darcy's Wild Life, Flight 29 Down, Time Warp Trio, Trading Spaces: Boys vs Girls, Kenny the Shark, Serious, Bindi the Jungle Girl, Dinosapien, Growing Up Creepie, Adventure Camp, The Saddle Club, Scouts Safari, Grossology, The Future is Wild, Croc Files, and reruns of The Magic School Bus Most prominent ones of their preschool block were Peep and the Big Wide World, Hi-5, Hip Hop Harry, ToddWorld, and The Save-Ums
>>152005156>Why did Discovery Kids shut down?>because it was a channel entirely dedicating to inspiring kids about the world and getting kids more curious about the worldYou just answered your own question. Your masters don't want you to be inspired or curious. They want you to be ignorant and obedient. To only know what you need to know to be a slave.
>>151998907What do you all remember about Discovery Kids USA?
>>152018814>Pretty much all the shows on The Hub felt aimed at the male demographicBased
>>152031186Never heard any of those. No wonder it failed
>>152031197That's why kids aren't watching tv anymore. There's nothing good to watch. There's no show like Mythbusters anymore
>>151998907>>152031671>>152026847
>>152031706You never even heard of The Magic School Bus? That show was played in a lot of classrooms for educational purposes and it was on PBS when it was airing new episodes
>>152031717If you have time to watch TV you have time to slave away in the mines and factories.
>>151998907Does everyone here agree that Discovery Kids was better than The Hub in every single way?
>>151998907I miss Saddle Club
>>151998907I liked their slogan, It's Really Really Real
>>152033156i dont
>>152034985Why?
