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-"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. The block consisted entirely of live-action series, marking the first time that CBS did not feature animated series within its children's program lineup. Programs included the youth-oriented game show Wheel 2000 (which aired simultaneously on the Game Show Network), a magazine series based on Sports Illustrated for Kids, The New Ghostwriter Mysteries (a revival of the popular PBS public television series Ghostwriter), the long-running Beakman's World, the second season of Fudge, and "Weird Al" Yankovic's first regular television series, The Weird Al Show. In the News was also briefly revived as part of the Think CBS Kids block, hosted by CBS Radio News Washington correspondent Dan Raviv (in place of original narrators Christopher Glenn and Gary Shepard). At the time, CBS reduced its Saturday morning children's program lineup to three hours, with the launch of the two hour-long CBS News Saturday Morning (which eventually evolved into the Saturday edition of The Early Show). Since 1997, like other networks, the scheduling of CBS's children's programming has varied depending on the CBS station (for example, then-affiliate KTVT in Fort Worth, Texas-now owned-and-operated by CBS-aired the experimental Think CBS Kids block from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. on Saturdays and 7:00 to 8:00 A.M. on Sundays from 1997 to 1998). 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 immediately with reruns of CBS Storybreak in 1998 for the remaining of the season.

I'm not a fan of Think CBS Kids and its schedule. I love how Beakman's World stays in the lineup, I love The Weird Al Show, but I was not a fan of all the rest. The only thing I like about Think CBS Kids is the song. It's so catchy and it has a cool dance 90s vibe.
Omg just before your first match with rvd that song brought tears to my eyes 😢 with the memorys I had playing this game so glad you let the song play for a little bit
This was the last CBS Saturday morning lineup that was at least watchable before it fallen downhill for viewership due to several times of getting kids to watch such as Nick Jr. and a lineup for shows for girls in the 2000s, now we just have Docuseries under Litton since maybe 2013 and it primarily sucks to see this network’s Saturday mornings downfall by this point.
