(S03E04) "I don't need to know how to change a diaper to know when it stinks to high hell." - BellickWell there you have it. "What's in the box" turned out to be what we all expected.

For many of us the rite of passage that was Saturday morning cartoons died years ago. The following news just puts a final nail in its coffin.Last week The CW announced that it was dropping the 13-year-old Kids WB! franchise at the end of this season.
