Cookie Jar TV
On June 20, 2008, Canada-based production company Cookie Jar Group announced that it would acquire DIC Entertainment; the purchase was finalized one month later on July 23.[6][7] On February 24, 2009, CBS renewed its time-lease agreement with Cookie Jar for three additional seasons, running through 2012.[8][9]
Subsequently, on September 19, the block was rebranded again as Cookie Jar TV; all of the programs from KEWLopolis and KOL Secret Slumber Party were removed upon the block's relaunch. The new shows added to the block were Busytown Mysteries and Noonbory and the Super Seven. Sabrina: The Animated Series also returned to the lineup after leaving in 2007.[10][11] The theme song for the block was composed by Ron Wasserman.[12] On April 3, 2010, Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show was added, while Strawberry Shortcake returned to the block.
On September 18, 2010, Sabrina's Secret Life joined the block, replacing both Noonbory and the Super Seven and Strawberry Shortcake. On February 5, 2011, Trollz and Horseland returned to the block, replacing both Sabrina shows.
On September 17, 2011, Cookie Jar TV added The Doodlebops and PBS series Danger Rangers, replacing Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show and Trollz. On September 22, 2012, PBS series Liberty's Kids replaced Danger Rangers and Horseland.[13] Following Cookie Jar Group's acquisition by DHX Media (now WildBrain) in October 2012, Cookie Jar TV brand remained in place for the block through the end of its run.
On July 24, 2013, CBS announced a programming agreement with Litton Entertainment (which recently programmed a Saturday morning block that is syndicated to ABC's owned-and-operated stations and affiliates for two years) to launch a new Saturday morning block featuring live-action reality-based series aimed at teenagers ages 13 to 18 years old. Cookie Jar TV ended its run after seven years on September 21, 2013, and was succeeded by the following week on September 28 by the Litton-produced CBS Dream Team.[14]
