The half-hour special will include a preview of the upcoming fall lineup, including a sneak peak at the new comedy "GOGORIKI," which is expected to join the fall schedule September 27th.

In addition, 4KidsTV, the four-hour block of programs on FOX (Saturdays 8:00AM-Noon), features the highly anticipated new series, "Chaotic: M'arrillian Invasion," the next chapter in the "Chaotic" saga based on the best-selling trading card and online game. 2008-09 marks 4Kids' 7th consecutive season on FOX and its inaugural season on The CW Network. Al Kahn, Chairman and CEO, 4Kids Entertainment and Norman Grossfeld, President, 4Kids Productions, oversee the company's network television operations.

4Kids Productions, the "locomotive" behind the majority of shows on both networks, is involved in the development, production, adaptation and/or post-production of ten of the series airing this season. Original 4Kids productions include "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer," "Chaotic," "Viva Piñata," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward" and "Chaotic: M'Arillion Invasion." Additionally, 4Kids Productions is adapting "Dinosaur King," "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's" and the new animated series from Russia, "GOGORIKI" (fka "SMESHARIKI"), for American audiences. In total, 4Kids Productions is involved in the production of some 350 episodes of television annually.

In addition to the television-based window, 4Kids Entertainment provides fans with a Web-based environment to continue the experience with their favorite shows and characters at www.4Kids.tv and www.CW4Kids.com. These dynamic, interactive and constantly updated 4Kids Websites feature hundreds of hours of complete TV series' episodes available free on-demand, with new shows and Web exclusives added frequently. The COPPA-compliant online destinations also offer safe kid-friendly activities ranging from branded TV show areas for every series in the lineups to a weekly-replenished library of more than 150 games.

"With this full slate of shows in production, and the creation of new Websites, online content and supporting interstitial material, 4Kids Productions has established itself as one of the leading producers of children's animated content in the world," said Grossfeld.

"I'm proud of the collective contributions from 4Kids Productions' creative talent," added Kahn. "The 18 half-hours we program over two broadcast networks is a strong illustration of 4Kids' growth as a leading force in kids-driven media."

Additional series will join the 4Kids schedules later in the season, including the previously announced "Huntik," "Rollbots" and "GOGORIKI."
