Cookie Jar TV is a three-hour children's programming block on CBS. It launched on September 16, 2006 as KOL Secret Slumber Party, re-branded as KEWLopolis on September 15, 2007 and again as Cookie Jar TV on September 19, 2009. The block replaced Nick Jr. on CBS, which was produced by Viacom's Nickelodeon before CBS and Viacom became two separate companies. The block is owned and programmed by Cookie Jar Entertainment (the successor to block creator DIC Entertainment). As KEWLopolis, the block was a tie-in with a monthly teen magazine, KEWL, which was established in part by DiC in May 2007.
All programming in the block is in compliance with federal "E/I" requirements as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission. Though the block is intended to air on Saturday mornings, like its predecessors, some CBS affiliates choose to tape-delay 30 minutes to an hour of the block to air at a different weekend timeslot (usually on Sunday mornings).
History
Cookie Jar TV began in 1955 as CBS Kids. During this period, CBS broadcast the live action series Captain Kangaroo on weekday mornings from 1955 through 1982, and on Saturdays through 1984. From 1971 through 1986, the CBS News department produced one-minute In the News segments broadcast between other Saturday morning programs. Otherwise, in regards to children's programming, CBS has aired mostly animated series for kids, such as the original version of Scooby-Doo, Jim Henson's Muppet Babies, Garfield and Friends, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as their in-house program CBS Storybreak. CBS Toontastic (later known as CBS Kidz) premiered on September of 1992 with additional programs such as Beakman's World, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat, The Mask: The Animated Series, Tales from the Cryptkeeper among others. The lineup has appeared to be a huge success. In September 1997, CBS began contracting out to other companies to provide educational programming and material for their Saturday morning schedule (per FCC's new rules on children's programming), The first of these special blocks was Think CBS Kids (tagline is the same as the branding) with shows such as Wheel 2000, The New Ghostwriter Mysteries, The Weird Al Show and a few others. Unfortunately due to low ratings, most of the shows were cancelled after 4 months. Much of the programming was then replaced by reruns of Beakman's World, CBS Storybreak, and Tales from the Cryptkeeper. This prompted another relaunch in 1997 as CBS Kids, which featured programming from Canada's Nelvana studio. It aired on CBS Saturday mornings from 1997 to 2000, with shows like Anatole, Mythic Warriors, Rescue Heroes, and Flying Rhino Junior High. Its tagline was, "The CBS Kids Show: Get in the Act." In 2000, CBS's deal with Nelvana ended and the CBS Kids block was replaced by Nick Jr. on CBS on September 16, 2000.
This Saturday morning block presented programming from Nick Jr., which at the time shared common ownership with CBS under Viacom. When the block first properly aired, it was hosted by Face from Nick Jr. On September 14, 2002, Nick Jr. on CBS was re-branded as Nick on CBS, and airing both Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows. The Nickelodeon shows were removed in 2004 in favor for a return to an exclusively-Nick Jr. block. The block's continuity was provided by segments featuring Piper O'Possum. At the beginning of New Year's Eve 2005, Viacom was split into two different companies, with CBS Corporation becoming its own standalone company and Nickelodeon going to the new Viacom. Nick Jr. on CBS ended on September 9, 2006 and was replaced by KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS on September 16, 2006, as part of a multi-year partnership between CBS and Cookie Jar Entertainment.
After the announcement of the CBS/DIC partnership, the latter announced programming block was originally going to be called CBS's Secret Saturday Morning Slumber Party (or CBS’s Saturday Morning Secret Slumber Party), but was later renamed KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS after DIC, who produced all of the children's programming for the block, partnered with KOL, the children's area of AOL, which co-produced programming with DIC. AOL managed the programming block's website, and produced public service announcements which aired both on television and online[1] This alliance was what led to the name change for this block, and also because some of the programs were airing on Sundays (depending on the market).
In mid-2007, KOL withdrew sponsorship of the block.[2] Afterwards, CBS and DIC announced a new partnership with American Greetings Corporation to produce the new KEWLopolis, a cartoon block aiming at young female children.
On July 23, 2008, DIC was acquired by the Cookie Jar Group.[3][4] On February 24, 2009, it was announced that CBS renewed its contract with Cookie Jar for another three seasons, through 2012.[5][6] While KEWLopolis was willing to carry Cake and Horseland over from KOL Secret Slumber Party, Cookie Jar TV removed all KEWLopolis programming upon its re-branding on September 19, 2009. Horseland and Trollz returned to Kewlopolis on February 5, 2011, replacing Noonbory And The Super Seven and Sabrina The Animated Series.
