Line 37:
In an effort to compete with other action series at the time, ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' was revamped into a more action-oriented series with less comedy, and along with new shows ''[[WildC.A.T.s (TV series)|WildC.A.T.s]]'' and ''[[Skeleton Warriors]]'' was grouped into a new sub-block, "Action Zone", which premiered in September 1994. The sub-block featured a fly-through robotic style pre-opening that eventually segued into the show's opening title sequence. ''WildC.A.T.s.'' and ''Skeleton Warriors'' went off the air at the conclusion of the 1994-1995 season, at which time the sub-block was discontinued although ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' individually retained the Action Zone brand and bumpers until that series ended its run on the network in 1997.

In 1997, taking advantage of the tightened [[Children's Television Act]] regulations mandated by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] that required broadcasters to carry three hours of educational programming each week, CBS launched an all-"[[E/I|educational/informational]]" Saturday morning lineup for the 1997-98 season, known as ''Think CBS Kids'' (which served as both the block's branding and tagline), replacing CBS Kidz.
Line 47:
''Think CBS Kids'' as a whole suffered from low ratings, resulting in the network canceling all of the shows after four months and even replacing ''[[Fudge (TV series)|Fudge]]'' immediately with reruns of ''CBS Storybreak'' for the remaining of the season.

After CBS's programming agreement with Nelvana ended in 2000, the network subsequently entered into a deal with [[Nickelodeon]] (which became a sister property to CBS, as a result of one-time CBS subsidiary-turned-media conglomerate [[Viacom (original)|Viacom]]'s merger with the network) to air programming from the [[Nick Jr. (TV programming block)|Nick Jr. block]] under the banner ''Nick Jr. on CBS''.<ref name="Nick Jr. on CBS"/> The block debuted on September 16, 2000, hosted by Face, the animated host/mascot originated on the flagship Nick Jr. block. The lineup was rebranded as simply ''Nick on CBS'' on September 14, 2002, as the block incorporated live-action and animated Nickelodeon series aimed at older children in addition to the Nick Jr. series. The older-skewing Nickelodeon series were removed from the block on September 11, 2004, refocusing the block back exclusively toward preschooler-oriented series; the block also began incorporating interstitial hosted segments featuring Piper O'Possum.
