Seems a bit soon but that's what CN's schedule says. It's repeating from the begining at 6AM.
Yeah 6AM. Well dan... you win that round. It's a shame CN didn't isn't airing it in a better slot though.

W00T! No offense to Code Lyoko fans, but the 6AM slot has sucked ever since Cybertron left. Now I can finally see the episodes I missed. :sweat:
Though, I'm curious, by "at the beginning", does that mean airing the movie in it's three episode form for the very first time, or are they starting at the episode after the movie?
Edit: Okay, nevermind, it is the episode after the movie.

See, here (http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/ScheduleServlet?action=viewAll&showID=352666&show=Transformers+Animated) for episodes scheduled. It will not include the movie.
First, I think it's too soon to run it on weekdays. Second, bad time. 10PM (with Storm Hawks) would be nice.

Didn't stop them from stripping Squirrel Boy to weekdays before it had even aired 13 episodes. :shrug:

Personally, I was done with Transformers Animated as soon as I found out the little girl Sari only has a father and no mother. No MILF factor=fail for me. :sad: (Plus, I can only stand to hear that "Sorry, Sari" joke so many times.)
As for the "Transformers Animated doesn't have enough episodes to air weekdays" argument, on Disney Channel, Hannah Montana doesn't have enough episodes to air every day either, but it does because it's guaranteed high ratings. So if CN has enough confidence in TA to put it on weekdays (even if it's at 6 AM), it must be doing pretty well.

You never watch cartoons for entertainment?

Of course I do. What else would I watch them for?
That first sentence was a joke, my friend. No need to take it too seriously or literally.

ARE THEY EVER GOING TO AIR THE REMAINING CODE LYOKO EPISODES?

Couldn't say.
But I can say that we're starting to drift a little off-topic here.

Uh, Hannah Montana has aired 48 episodes to date. Don't know about you, but I think that's enough, while Transformers Animated has only aired 15 eps as of now.(well, 16 on Saturday...)

What the...
I FRIGGIN HATE SQUIRREL BOY.
I was just using it as an example of CN rushing to strip something to weekdays soon after it starts airing. :shrug:

Incorrect. It will be at 17 episodes on Saturday. They are already at 16. The movie was 3 episodes, and they just finished airing season 1's other 13 episodes. When you look at when they'll start airing it, they will actually air them right in order, with episode 18 airing the day after 17's encore. It's a shame they'll be skipping the 3 episode movie though on the weekday run.

OK, thanks for correcting me. I've yet to see an episode of Transformers Animated yet, so I wouldn't really of known; I just looked up the episode guide on tv.com. Anyway, the point still stands: The show's not yet ready for weekdays.
Well, I guess I might as well leave this discussion to the fans.
