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 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

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.

The block itself is associated with the following tropes:

• Cross Through: Happened very often in the promos, especially in the ones advertising Pokemon.

Agent Kay: Meet [my new partner,] Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur. Agent Jay: You're trading me in for a lizard?! What's so special about him!? Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur!! [performs Vine Whip on Jay] Agent Kay: Built-in weaponry.

• Hey It's That Voice: Jeff Bennett as the original announcer.
• Roger Rabbit Effect: The shows' animated stars would sometimes interact with characters from The WB's live-action sitcoms in the bumpers.

Curtis Williams: Dot has something to say. Dot: Thank you, Curtis. And now, back to our program.
