The Secret Saturdays

Has anyone checked out this series on Cartoon Network? It premiered on October 3rd (the same night that Star Wars: The Clone Wars did), and after the second episode, I instantly got hooked. It seem pretty fun and very action-oriented. I hope it lasts a lot longer than most CN original shows (i.e. Re-Animated and Class of 3000).

Even the synopsis sounds pretty sweet:

Quote:

Doc, Drew and Zak Saturday are a family of world-saving scientists called "The Secret Saturdays". Living in a hidden base, they are part of a secret organization of cryptozoologists known as The Secret Scientists who protect mankind against all the hidden and terrifying things in the world. In this show, folktales aren’t just legends, but actual mysteries and adventures that the Saturdays family must solve. Traveling all over the world, the Saturdays explore ancient temples and bottomless caves, and battle with twisted villains like the madman V.V. Argost (who hides his evil plans under his TV show Weird World) and rival cryptozoologist Van Rook. Scouring the globe in search of cryptids, the Saturdays attempt to keep the existence of these unusual beasts secret, to protect mankind and the creatures themselves. But at the end of the day, the Saturdays and their exotic cryptid pets are a loving bunch, trying to work through everyday family matters and squabbles.

They did say that Johnny Quest was a HUGE inspiration for the show. I totally forgot about Sanctuary. There are a lot of these shows running around. Haha!

Something that blatantly shows. It's great to have a CN series throw back to the classic HB cartoons of yore.

Watched the hour premiere so far, and the series is quite interesting. Like has been noted, very Johnny Quest-like.
