Toon Disney's New Arrivals

For the US -- Toon Disney is adding Batman TAS, Superman TAS and the next Season/Series of Digimon to their Jetix line-up.

Batman and Superman coming the end of this month (the 30th and 28th, respectively; as I recall). And Digimon Data Squad is coming some time next month.

It's never a good sign when an outside company like this airs the competition's properties...

Still shuddering at Nickelodeon version of Animaniacs' theme song.... oooohhh....

Yeah, can be a problem at times. Along with the likelyhood of editing that will be done to Batman and Superman (with Batman's 'darker' stories, and sometimes Superman having some too).

Ah well, even if that happens they're already out on DVD! So can watch the unedited version whenever want to.

I was more offended by Nick editting Animaniacs for content.

...not that Nick didn't edit their OWN shows for content (Rocko got hit pretty hard).


Since I own all the Batman and Superman DVDs, I'm more looking forward to Digimon. The best thing about Digimon is the English dub, so even if Data Squad is another Frontier, at leas teh dub will make it funny.

Data Squad (aka Savers in Japan) is awesome. It's also completely different from the other Digimon series, in both style and tone. I can't wait for the dub, especially because they've got a bunch of the old voice actors back.

not to mention they put it on a real time slot for 3 weeks and then put it on like 5 am or something like that. Of course, i never had cable there, so I just had to remember what the episodes were about.

An addition to the previous news.

Saw an ad this morning for Pinky & The Brain coming to Toon Disney (Oct. 1st, I think it said).

Maybe Toon Disney will become the ironic new "Kids WB" of old--with edited, kiddy-fied episodes of the shows we grew up with.

Well, neither of those yet.

But from checking Toon Zone's Jetix schedule page, see they're also adding Chaotic to the line-up come Oct. 1st.

They're really multi-tasking with all these formerly-on-Fox/Kids WB shows. And now a current 4Kids series. Along with the series they've been premiering.

You of course realise that Disney OWNS everything that fox used to air (though there are exceptions) due to them buying up the Family Channel from Fox. That's why they have Power Rangers now.

Well, yeah. Knew some of it would be (but wasn't sure how much). At any rate, alot of older shows getting put on again.
Though kinda not needed (since Batman, Superman, and Pinky & The Brain are all out on DVD now).

Ah well, those who haven't gotten the DVDs will get to see them again.

And be nice finally having the next Digimon series.

Superman TAS starts Friday Sept. 28th, and Batman TAS starts Sunday Sept. 30th (with both having 3 episodes starting at 7PM on those days)
Then both are also on weekdays starting Oct. 1st (with Superman in the morning and evening, while Batman is only in the evening).

Then Pinky & The Brain and Chaotic both start on Oct. 1st, with P&B at night and Chaotic in the morning and night.


Add-On: Here's a link to Toon Zone's Jetix schedule (so can check it out yourself)--

As usual, going to take a little getting used to (with the addition of 4 shows, 5 counting the new saga of Digimon, and others getting shifted around).

Add-On: Oh, well. ABC Family's Jetix has been gone for a while now....

Yes, ABC Family had a Jetix block on Sat. mornings. But that stopped pretty-much the end of last Summer (estimating, as it may have even been before that).

They've had Jackie Chan Adventures for a while now.... though only recently have gotten to showing Seasons 4 and 5 (and maybe even Season 3, but not sure on that).
