Urge 9 Story Media Group to renew beloved children's shows
The Issue
I am passionate about ensuring quality programming for children, and two shows have captured the hearts of many - "Lu & The Bally Bunch" and "Let's Go, Bananas!" Season 1 of "Lu & The Bally Bunch" concluded on September 4, 2023, and "Let's Go, Bananas!" ended its run on March 29, 2025, on CBC Kids. Both shows have become significant additions to the lives of children and families, as they were first introduced to a broader audience through the Cartoonito preschool block on Cartoon Network in the United States in October 2024.
Our beloved Cartoonito block has been unbranded since September 2025, following a summer hiatus since May 23, 2025. Within this framework, there lies a golden opportunity for the Cartoonito block to shine again by bringing back these beloved series. Additionally, I believe "The Woohoos" deserves its moment in the spotlight by being aired on this block as well, providing children across the United States with entertaining and educational content.
Renewing "Lu & The Bally Bunch" and "Let's Go, Bananas!" for another season would not only provide continuous enjoyment for their existing fanbases but would also ensure that new audiences could discover these cherished shows. What’s more, airing "The Woohoos" on Cartoon Network USA could contribute to revitalizing the Cartoonito block and offering viewers a fresh array of high-quality children's programming.
By bringing attention to this issue, we hope 9 Story Media Group will see the immense potential these shows have to continue making a positive impact. Their vibrant storytelling, engaging characters, and educational value are central to fostering creativity and learning among young audiences.
Let’s urge 9 Story Media Group to bring back "Lu & The Bally Bunch" and "Let's Go, Bananas!" for another exciting season and introduce "The Woohoos" to the Cartoonito block on Cartoon Network USA. Our children deserve content that is both entertaining and enriching. Please support this cause by signing the petition and ensuring these shows remain a part of our children's lives.
