According to Ultimatetv.com:
"For the first time in over a year, Kids' WB's
"Pokemon" fell out of the top spot among the
broadcast networks last Saturday morning.
According to Variety, ABC's "The
Weekenders," which follows the weekend adventures
of four animated southern California teens, landed at
No. 1 with kids 2 to 11 on April 29. The show debuted
back in February.
Meanwhile, Fox also beat an episode of "Pokemon"
for the first time, besting the 9 a.m. edition of the
show with animated rival, "Digimon: Digital
Monsters."
"Pokemon" was the reigning cartoon king for
54 weeks (since April 17, 1999).
However, Kids' WB didn't walk away a loser by any
means: the network still trounced its broadcast
competition, rating a 2.9 among kids 2-11 (vs. ABC's
2.8 and FOX's 2.6). In addition, "Pokemon"
took two of the top three spots on Saturday
morning."
