The "Secret Saturdays" Promo Thread

[Linkpre]

Hasn't anyone else seen a commercial that's aired on CN lately that has a little girl riding her bike with her father then a lizard like creature flashes on the screen followed by a blue screen with a website address saying "Cryptidarereal.com" At first I thought it was a normal ad, but something about it'd weird.

I googled this "cryptid" thing it it seems to be some legendary creature like Bigfoot or something. Isn't that part of the premise for the Secret Saturday's show?

[Mugen]

Here's the website: http://cryptidsarereal.com/

If you look at the bottom of the page, you can see the CN copyright.

The website seems interesting, but I don't see any information about the actual show. I do like how Cartoon Network is marketing the show though.

[Raditz]

The only thing about this commercial that stands out to me is the fact the father goes "AW SH-" before he gets attacked. >_>

[Mickialla]

The website seems interesting, but I don't see any information about the actual show. I do like how Cartoon Network is marketing the show though.

Well, actually there is a very discrete reference to it on this page on the site:

http://cryptidsarereal.com/topsecret.html?sfx%5Frollover1=%5Bobject+Object%5D

If you read inside the document, it mentions the names Doc and Drew, the mother and father of Zak Saturday. The document also mentions a hairy cryptid with glowing red eyes, which matches the description of Fiskerton, Zak Saturday's pet cryptid.

The way they're advertising the show is really cool. I'm sure they'll end up putting actual stuff related to the show as its premiere comes closer, but doing this thing with secret documents and making it all look like a real thing is pretty original. And the timing for the promotion is good, seeing as how the show is supposedly premiering next month.

Wait, I don't see the CN copyright. Maybe because it's a little dark for me to see.

[macattack]

Its tiny. I didn't see it at first either. CN's doing a good job at disguising what they're doing so far.

It's not that tiny. Plus the writing is in black and the rest of the background is brown. Some sort of writing should stick out at the bottom. Maybe if you adjust the setting on your monitor. :shrug:

[Meoshira]

There's some information for it already up on Wikipedia. The style for the show looks pretty cool. Hopefully it won't end up being one of those educational TV shows, since the guy who made it also made Tutenstein.

Holy crap!
I had no idea those cryptids are Real commercials were promoting The Secret Saturdays.

me too I'm suprised as you

[Light Lucario]

I was surprised myself. I just thought that it was a random commercial trying to get you to go to their website. Not one that was promoting The Secret Saturdays.

[Anyone00]

Ya, I thought it was just some company trying to promote a new collectible card game.

I found something a little, uh...interesting about the CryptidsAreReal site. The front page has a bit about a Popobawa sighting. Does anyone working on the cartoon actually know what the Popobawa is?

From wiki:

Popobawa is variously described as either a ghost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost) or ogre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogre) with gigantic bat wings and a giant penis. At times he is simply known as "Imran". He is sometimes thought to be a shapeshifter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapeshifting) who looks like an ordinary human during the day. His presence is usually announced by the sound of scraping claws on their roof and a sharp, pungent smell. Different from other incubus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubus_%28demon%29) legends, Popobawa primarily attacks men and only in their own beds, resulting in many men sleeping outside in streets or on porches after recent reported attacks. He attacks men as they sleep, overpowering them, holding their face to the floor and sodomizing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy) them for up to an hour. People who claim to be victims of Popobawa are mostly poorer residents on the island of Pemba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemba%2C_Tanzania), though other reports have also come from other islands and coastal Tanzania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzania). The victims are threatened with repeated, and longer, sodomizations if they do not let their friends and neighbors know of their experience.



Is this cartoon actually going to feature a monster that roams the neighborhoods sodomizing men and forcing them to tell everyone about the experience?

[pokefiend]

Sounds like an awfully bad gay porno flick.

[AxeltheNavy]

Sounds like a show from a combo of SciFi and Logo -_-
Seriously, that's just gross

Yeah, as long as they don't actually say what it did, there shouldn't be a problem with the BS&P.

[Anyone00]

Popobawa the ONE EYED bat:eek:

What's next: Aswangs? Leyaks?

[Mr. Ralph]

perhaps there is hope for this series yet!!!!

[Mugen]

Another commerical has aired. This one has a mom and her kids in the car. Outside the window, a bigfoot-like creature is swinging from a tree.

Well, I visit Jay Stephens' (the creator of the show) blog at least once a week, and he is crazy about these monsters. He knows all about them, so he knows what they/it is. Which makes it all the more awesome. And I knew it was a TSS ad as soon as I saw it.

It was a British Werewolf.

[Serithe]

I'm actually a big cryptozoology fan, so I'm really interested in how this turns out. I hope they researched the folklore (or fact, depending on the alleged monster and your opinion), because a lot of it is damned cool.

Of course, a lot of the allure of cryptozoology is that it deals with real life undiscovered beasts, so some of that is taken away seeing them in simple cartoon form, where possibilities are already limitless. Seeing a three-foot frog walking on two legs in real life is one thing (the Loveland Frog, since you asked), seeing it in a cartoon...is decidedly less exciting.

Sounds like it makes this show perfect for Adult Swim...heh.

[Taylor Karras]

Initially I didn't think that the promo would be connected to Secret Saturdays due to the low quality CGI, didn't know it was connected.

Amazing...

[warnerbroman]

I just relized that in the new promos there is a secret Saturdays character that appears he has black and white hair and a orange shirt with a "s"

[Chykin]

Where'd ya see that?

[warnerbroman]

Where'd ya see that?during johnny test

[Chykin]

during johnny test
No, Where in the comercial?

[lemonhead75]

I saw an ad linking to the site while I was on youtube:D

[Zenze14]

No, Where in the comercial?

He is saying that he saw the commerical during Johnny Test

[Master Toon]

He is saying that he saw the commerical during Johnny Test

I think there's a bit of confusion here. :sweat:

Chykin is asking where warnerbroman saw the character in the commercial. But I think warnerbroman is referring to the new promos with the bowling pin shaped people. I too saw the same character who I believe is the son on the show Secret Saturdays, in that promo. I also saw a monster from the show as well.

[Mugen]

There is a third promo now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFewYOmIYZg

[Mickialla]

I think CN is doing a good job with this viral campaign. The commercials air pretty often, and kids are always intrigued by things like dinosaurs and monsters.

[macattack]

Hmm, I wonder who came up with this campaign for CN? They deserve a promotion for this.

Seriously, this is THE best non-Toonami ad campaign that CN's done in the last couple of years. Yeah, the CG could be better, but the ads get the point across and are making this show seem insanely intriguing.

The CG doesn't need to be much better. It's supposed to look like a home video, where the camera tends to be shaky and the cryptids are always moving. Plus they wouldn't need to use better CG for something that appears on the screen for just about 5 seconds maximum.

[Master Toon]

The second video is a tad creepy but that's the cryptid that I'm most interested in, so I'm most likely going to watch the video over and over despite the creepyness.

[Racattack!Force]

This promotion is pretty great. Can't wait to see actual commercials though.

[Chykin]

I've discovered on the site what could be an unintentional psuedo-countdown. On the first page there are videos and only four slots for them. also, these videos are released every week or so. I believe it's possible that once the fourth video is released, they could either start promoting the show, or premiere it. The former is most likely. :shrug:

I'm thinking the same thing.

[strawberryjuice]

I was wondering what the heck those commercials were! XD

I coulden't tell if it was a parody of cloverfeild or what...

Forgive me. I haven't been paying attention to a whole lot of stuff in the CN world lately...

[Chykin]

One thing that bugs me is that in the first video you see a komodo dragon. How could they be classified as cryptids? I mean, they aren't extinct yet, right? :shrug:

[Mickialla]

I believe they air a new commercial every Friday, which means we should see another one, most likely the last one, tomorrow. I'm not sure which creature it might feature, though, but I think that starting next week, we'll have actual advertisement for the show, seeing as how it's supposed to premiere in August.

So my countdown theory is plausible.

I was following the same theory as you before you brought it up, so yeah, it's plausible.

[Chykin]

Then I'll keep my eyes peeled all next week for promos. *Grabs vegetable peeler*This is gonna hurt... a lot.:sweat:

[Mickialla]

Cartoon Network seems to have started up another viral campaign website:

http://www.weirdworldshow.com/

The site promotes a show called "Weird World" saying it's coming this Fall. I'm thinking, did they change the title this late in the game?? Then I thought that it couldn't be. Instead, here's my theory. I don't count it as spoilers since it's just my theory.

But I think from this website I can just discover a few pieces of the Secret Saturdays premise. We already know there's a character in Secret Saturdays called V.V. Argost, who's mentioned on the site. And he seems to have his own show called Weirdworld where he discovers cryptids. V.V Argost is supposed to be a villain on Secret Saturdays, so I'm thinking it's the classic "TV show host ends up being evil" dilemma, and this Weirdworld show is a "show within a show". In the section of the chat section there ends up being fan mail fro Zak S, or Zak Saturday, whose a fan of the show.

Makes sense, since the Saturdays' priority is to keep the existence of cryptids a secret. This guy must be trying to expose cryptids, thus making him an enemy.:)
Edit: That site just cleared up a point I raised earlier. I didn't notice it before, but in the first video a komodo dragon went from invisible to visible.

[Zenze14]

I know this is a off topic question but is the creator of this show airing creatures that people said they seen or are they just coming up with fake creatures?

[Mickialla]

They put up another commercial. It uses footage from the other three commercials and promotes "Weird World".

Well a cryptid is a creature that is believed to exist but it's existence has never been proven. I'm not sure if that was a Komodo Dragon but it is reptilian.

Actually, onthe weird world website it says it was a komodo dragon, only it can turn invisible.

[Mickialla]

Actually, onthe weird world website it says it was a komodo dragon, only it can turn invisible.

I'm not sure. On the original cryptidsarereal.com website, there was a poll asking what we thought the original creature in the video was. Komodo Dragon was one of the choices, but Basilisk received the most votes, though I'm not sure if a basilisk is a cryptid or just a mythological creature.

[Chykin]

A basilisk is real but looks very different.
Look Here (http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=basilisk+lizard&btnG=Search+Images)
Also, I've seen a komodo dragon.

That's not a basilisk. :sweat: That's a basilisk lizard, which is named after the basilisk. A basilisk is a giant lizard/serpent like creature that turns you to stone when you look at it.

[Mr. Ralph]

like the one in harry potter!! that was cool:cool::cool:

[DELETED]

love the Weird World site! Notice the second "fanmail" is from Jay S. as in Stephens, the show's creator?

Those Comic-con people seem convinced cryptids are real

[Chykin]

Still, I know what a komodo dragon looks like.
Tell me these don't look like the video. (http://images.google.com/images?q=komodo+dragon&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title)
Edit: wikipedia has just confirmed that the creature is in fact, the Saturdays' pet komodo dragon that can turn invisible, just as the pterasaur was also their pet.

Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source. It can be edited by anyone. But you're right, it's probably a komodo. I don't know why I was arguing in the first place, I too thought it was a komodo, I just was contemplating it because komodo's aren't cryptids.

[Chykin]

I just was contemplating it because komodo's aren't cryptids.
Well as I mentioned earlier it was classified as a cryptid not because of its species, but because of its abilities.
Edit: there's a new secret saturdays promo!

[Slim]

CN aired another weird world commercial, this one was sorta the same as the last one but a bit longer.

[Tash]

Well as I mentioned earlier it was classified as a cryptid not because of its species, but because of its abilities.
Edit: there's a new secret saturdays promo!
That's not surprising. There's a cryptid called the "Hoop Snake" which is an otherwise normal snake with the power to roll.

Nice look to the TSS logo. Very Venture Bros. like.

[warnerbroman]

did anyone see it it came on before TDI on Aug 14

[Shozuka]

Haha, I just saw it. I came on to make a thread, but you beat me to it. It looks awesome!

[D Dubbs]

Is there a premiere date? And a block that it's scheduled to air on?

[warnerbroman]

Is there a premiere date? And a block that it's scheduled to air on?no it just says this fall

and from the looks it could cross-over with the brave and the bold

[Mickialla]

no it just says this fall

and from the looks it could cross-over with the brave and the bold

I very highly doubt that would happen. Very highly. Did I mention highly doubting it??

I can see why you'd think that. The colors and animation both remind me of Brave and the Bold, and both shows styles give me a "better animated Venture Bros" feel. But there's no possibility for a crossover. The two shows have pretty much nothing in common. Batman is a non-original superhero show and TSS is a CN original revolving around cryptids. Just because they may look similar in style doesn't mean that they'll cross over. Remember, Dexter and PPG never crossed over.

[tb4000]

This looks like something I wouldn't mind watchimg.

[Mugen]

Just saw the promo after Johnny Test. It starts off with the V.V. Argost promo before they show the characters.

It definately reminds me of the Venture Bros. and Johnny Quest, which is a good thing. It looks to be an action-comedy series, so it'll fit in with the new action-adventure block.

I have a feeling the show will debut in October.

[Jayngfet]

Not bad in all, despite the Yu-gu-oh hair and generic premise.

[warnerbroman]

But they're not. They're two completely unrelated shows that happen to have similar animation.

I liked how the commercial was on in the commercial and the show looks real good Can't wait to hear an official air date

I saw it too, looks like it'll be a lot of fun.
Though having it made by the same guy who did Tutenstein does have me a little concern, in terms of it's actiony or funny enough.

Tutenstein?

*shudders*

[Zenze14]

I am little confused, are they airing the show where they tell you about the unkown cretures for wired world commerical or is the wired world commerical for the cartoon?

[Blackstar]

I saw it too, looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

Yes, that is cause for concern, because Tutenstien sucks. However, based on what I've seen, I'm still going to give Secret Saturdays a chance before passing judgment on it.

[John Dorian]

Drew looks like she's hot for a mom (this should make Black and Silverstar happy).

Yea, Tutenstein does stink. But the thing is, Tutenstein was purposely made to be educational, that's why it stinks. Most of Discovery Kids' cartoons are kiddy shows that are meant to be educational. Secret Saturdays looks ALOT different from Tutenstein, so different that it looks like it couldn't even be from the same creator. I'm hoping that this is the real side of Jay Stephens' and that the Tutenstein side was only a fluke.

[Chykin]

Hooray! there are finally some straight-forward promos on!

does anybody have a link to this promo?

It looked...interesting.I hope it's not corny.

While we are on this subject, did anyone see the Zak Saturday Bumper. He was holding a stick, and he walked into Kevin 11's alien form, and their faces got switched up, did anyone else see it

I've seen it. It's been airing for a while now. They also show his pet, Fiskerton.

[Alzatia]

Uh..straight forward info on the show was revealed last month in CN Action Pack #26. There's an entire 9 page comic on this show. o.o They go to Fiji and end up fighting some giant shark thingy.

[Mr. Ralph]

i think he meant that they're finally airing commercials that show footage from the show

Just read that the father named Doc is voiced by Phil Morris aka Jackie Childs from Seinfeld. Should be hilarious.

And Dru the mother is voiced by Nicole Sullivan of Mad TV and Shego from Kim Possible fame.

Incidentally, I'm glad to find out that Zak Saturday has a mother and a father, so this shows' main cast isn't a boys' club like Jonny Quest.

I know secret saturdays is now on CN video.

[FightingDreamer]

Just watched the promo on CN Video and... This looks like fun. This fall seems to be the place for fun action cartoons on CN (this, Batman: The Brave and the Bold). Nice animation, cool retro designs, and a cool voice cast. I'm definitely intrigued.

[Mr. J]

There is a show section on cartoonnetwork.com dedicated to the secret saturdays.


http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/tss/index.html

[Blackstar]

I just saw the Secret Saturdays promo on CN video. It didn't tell me very much about the show, but it looks pretty cool.

[Linkpre]

This show does look pretty cool judging from the previews. I do wonder if Cartoon Network plans to air this on the Har Har Tharsday block or the New Action Block. Or maybe even DAS/Toonami.

[Mugen]

This show does look pretty cool judging from the previews. I do wonder if Cartoon Network plans to air this on the Har Har Tharsday block or the New Action Block. Or maybe even DAS/Toonami.

I believe at the Upfront, CN mentioned that the show would air on the new action/adventure block.


Also, I merged the two Secret Saturdays promo threads since they were talking about the same thing.

[{Shadow}]

This show does look pretty cool judging from the previews. I do wonder if Cartoon Network plans to air this on the Har Har Tharsday block or the New Action Block. Or maybe even DAS/Toonami.
They said it would air on the new Friday night fantasy/adventure block at this year's upfront. Plus, they're promoting it as an action series rather than a comedy, so I doubt it'll air on Har Har Tharsdays, but encores on DAS and/or Toonami (if they still exist) are a possibility.

[Pappercut]

saw the Secrete Saturdays promo thing

looks okay.... but I'll like to watch first before I say it's good

[CartoonOverlord]

I was wondering what those promos were for, I thought it was just for some website. The show has potential, I give it that.

[Chykin]

The one thing I can't help but wonder, in this series, does Fiskerton talk? It's been burning in my mind for a while now.:sweat:

[Mickialla]

The one thing I can't help but wonder, in this series, does Fiskerton talk? It's been burning in my mind for a while now.:sweat:

I hope not. That would be a weird turn for the series. I want this series to be a bit more realistic, and treat the cryptids like undiscovered animals rather than magical beings. If some of them have a few special powers (like the Flashlight Frog thingy that was mentioned), that's ok, as long as it doesn't involve magical powers and revolves more around they're biological adaptations. In that sense, since Fiskerton is just a cryptid, he's just an undiscovered animal, which means he shouldn't be able to talk, because animals can't talk. It's fine for them to grunt or have facial expressions, because that's normal in cartoons.

Although he's supposed to be voiced by Deidrich Bader, so I'm not sure if he does or not.

[Mugen]

Alright, we got another commercial. This one doesn't have the "Weird World" segment at the beginning of it, it just shows footage of the show. The commercial also confirms that the show will debut in October.

Looks like Mugen is right, it will premiere in October.

[Racattack]

October? I was hoping it would premiere next month. :sweat: Well, I guess it's worth the wait. The premise and characters interest me, and the thought about an action/adventure/mystery cartoon similar in style to 60s Hanna-Barbara action/adventure (like "Jonny Quest" and "The Herculoids") really appeals to me.

[Comics_the_QB]

I cannot wait for this show! Looks like a decent action show with great characters and animation. Fiskerton looks like a winner.

[Mickialla]

he premise and characters interest me, and the thought about an action/adventure/mystery cartoon similar in style to 60s Hanna-Barbara action/adventure (like "Jonny Quest" and "The Herculoids") really appeals to me.

I feel the exact same way. I love how they're using a style similar to Alex Toth's Hanna-Barbera toons. I loved those. I feel like Cartoon Network is the child of Hanna-Barbera, so it should somewhat mirror Hanna-Barbera. Back in the day, the comedy cartoons mirrored H-B's comedy cartoons in their style. But action toons like Megas XLR, and Ben 10 didn't mirror H-B's action toons. Instead, they tried to take on a more anime-esque look. I wish that the style had been derived more from the H-B action toons like The Secret Saturdays. I mean, Samurai Jack didn't follow the look of Alex Toth's toons, but it's look appealed to me because it was an action toon that mirrored the style of Hanna-Barbera's "flat" comedy toons like the Flintstones or Yogi Bear.

[Racattack!Force]

Just 'discovered' that AnimationInsider.net has an advanced review (http://www.animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=1820) of The Secret Saturdays. The series looks like it really could be a real improvement for the network. :D I'm looking slightly more forward to this series than before, despite knowing what faults the series might have.

[Slim]

in case you guys didnt know there's a 2 minute trailer of secret saturday on CN video. Itstarts with the footage of the cryptids and a short interview with a cryptologist, then after that theres clips of the cartoon with nataration by Zak and a short interveiw with the producers of the show

I can't believe they didn't show the creator. I'm also surprised they just reused footage from the 2007 Upfront, but it makes sense. :shrug: The show looks good.

Yea, I was wondering whether Doc was black or not. And why does he have a whitish-yellow streak in the middle of his hair in some pictures I've seen??

[Racattack!Force]

Yea, I was wondering whether Doc was black or not. And why does he have a whitish-yellow streak in the middle of his hair in some pictures I've seen??
It's a pale yellow. Apparently the middle of his hair is yellow while the sides are black. Don't know what gave Jay the idea, but I kinda like it.

[Mickialla]

Ah, that could be the reason why Zak has black hair with the tuft of white hair in the front (which he got from Drew)

[Racattack!Force]

I'm just wondering: Do you guys think that the 26 episodes ordered for The Secret Saturdays will be aired as one season, or as two seasons divided into 13 episodes each? I personally think the latter (two seasons), but I'm not sure. :sweat:

[Ultra8]

I'll give them props for their weird "show within a show" advertising strategy. Look's like it will be fun, brings up memories of Johny Quest, the Herculoids, Mightor, (and Thundar for some reason:confused: :sweat: ).

[Blackstar]

this maybe the first interracial couple that are main characters I seen, cool

We don't know for certain if Doc is actually African-American or merely a Caucasian with tanned skin. If it's the former, then that would make Zak a mulatto. It would be great if the Saturdays were/are an interracial couple, though. It's about time we saw some more mixed couples with prominent roles on TV.

[John Dorian]

Doc to me looks like a mix of The New Batman Adventures Two-Face mixed with Cyborg from Teen Titans with a normal human body.


I like the originality of this show so far.

Have you checked out the Weird World site recently? There's this great note from Argost about the Saturdays:
Weird World Faithful,

I urge you not to believe any of the unfounded lies coming from the so-called Secret Saturdays. They seek only to make a villain out of me. I am a simple showman. My goal is to entertain and enlighten.

In truth, the Saturdays are just a family of super-rich troublemakers who think they're above the law. Sadly, they're the ones who are actually endangering the cryptids of the world. Heed my warning, Weird Watchers, do not trust the Saturdays.

Your Gracious Host,
V.V. Argost
Cartoon Network is doing a great job of promoting the series.

V. V. Argost is shaping up to be a pretty cool villain.

Another neat thing about the Weird world site is the first fan letter, it's from Zak Saterday.


Dear Argost,
My parents would ground me if they knew I was writing you this letter. Weirdworld is totally off limits in my house. I have to sneak into my dad's lab just to watch it. You've got like the coolest, creepiest show on TV. I'm a huge fan.
I love anything to do with cryptids. I've always felt a common bond with them. In fact, I even have a couple cryptids as pets.

I can't wait for the new season!

Zak S.

According to a new ad, Secret Saturdays premieres October 3rd at 8:00PM. Also I caught the tail end of another little ad that ended with the date 9-3-08. Anyone see the whole thing?

[chdr]

Ooh, haven't seen that one yet.

That means the action block's schedule will most likely be:
8:00 Secret Saturdays (NEW)
8:30 Ben 10 Alien Force (NEW)
9:00 Star Wars Clone Wars (NEW)
9:30 Batman: TBATB (NEW)

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[Mickialla]

According to a new ad, Secret Saturdays premieres October 3rd at 8:00PM. Also I caught the tail end of another little ad that ended with the date 9-3-08. Anyone see the whole thing?

Star Wars premieres the same day. I'm guessing that means that's the day the fantasy/adventure block starts. Batman will be added later on, with either the block being half an hour shorter until then, or another show taking its place until then (I'm hoping it's Jack, I keep missing it on Saturdays).

Ben 10: Alien Force is also airing on the block.

I know. So I'm guessing the schedule will be:

7: Alien Force
7.5: TSS
8: Clone Wars (Clone Wars supposedly has 1 hr episodes)
9: Hopefully Jack until Batman premieres, but they might not even use the extra half hour until then.

I saw it, it had three Clone Wars-looking spaceships flying into a huge mothership shaped like the CN logo. It then cuts to the 09.03.08 caption.

Pretty interesting teaser.

I saw it, it had three Clone Wars-looking spaceships flying into a huge mothership shaped like the CN logo. It then cuts to the 09.03.08 caption.

Wait... I'm confused. Why would it say 9.3.08 when both Clone Wars and TSS are premiere 10.3.08?? The action block couldn't start on 9.3.08 with Alien Force being the only show on it?? To top it off, 9.3.08 is in 3 days. :p It's not even a Friday. Typo much?? That's a big mistake on CN's part.

[chdr]

I know. I may have seen the wrong date, but I'm pretty sure it said 09 on it.

Who knows, this could be the Best Day Edder all over again.

EDIT-Never mind, I probably messed up typing it. It's probably 10, sorry.

[Mickialla]

I know. I may have seen the wrong date, but I'm pretty sure it said 09 on it.

What happened with the Best Day Edder?? :confused:

[chdr]

They advertised the event having the premiere of THE LAST EPISODE OF ED, EDD N EDDY EVER, even though there was at least one episode left (the one from the Lost Eds marathon).

[Mickialla]

They advertised the event having the premiere of THE LAST EPISODE OF ED, EDD N EDDY EVER, even though there was at least one episode left (the one from the Lost Eds marathon).

Oh, yeah, but that's more understandable than this. If the commercial really did say 9.3.08 instead of 10.3.08, than there are going to people anxiously waiting in front of the TV for the big surprise, only to find that they're a month early. :p

[Racattack!Force]

I know. So I'm guessing the schedule will be:

7: Alien Force
7.5: TSS
8: Clone Wars (Clone Wars supposedly has 1 hr episodes)
9: Hopefully Jack until Batman premieres, but they might not even use the extra half hour until then.
Clone Wars doesn't have one hour episodes. It might have a one-hour premiere like TSS, but I doubt every episode will be that long. :shrug: The block should start at 8.

[chdr]

Isn't Clone Wars supposed to start with the movie?

[Racattack!Force]

Isn't Clone Wars supposed to start with the movie?
Yeah, but do you honestly think they will show the movie on TV next month? :shrug:

[chdr]

They might air it on The Flicks. Either that or they cut it up into three episodes.

[Racattack!Force]

They might air it on The Flicks. Either that or they cut it up into three episodes.
I know, I'm just saying that they won't air the movie while it's still in theaters. Or even a few months after it gets out of theaters.

[chdr]

I don't know, if the movie really is the start of the series, it would only make sense to show it, split or not. Not only that, but the movie's poor performance pretty much ensures that it won't be in many theaters by October.

[Racattack!Force]

I guess so, but it still seems too early. I know Cartoon Network will show it, but I just don't think they'll show it in October.

[chdr]

I don't know, they might have a special deal with George Lucas to show it early.

[Racattack!Force]

I don't know, they might have a special deal with George Lucas to show it early.
Maybe, but I'm not completely sure.

[Mickialla]

I doubt they'd show the movie before it comes out on DVD. If it does come on CN, the earliest it'll probably come on is like, early 2009.

[chdr]

Apparently, the movie was a pilot (or the first three episodes) that was given a theatrical release at the last second, meaning we should be seeing it on TV along with the other episodes. My guess is that they'll air it as three separate episodes with a little bit of extra footage.

[Comics_the_QB]

Anyone catch he preview yet? Pretty neat! :D

[chdr]

Yeah, very cool. It seems like one of those epic promos Toonami used to do.

[John Dorian]

Something tells me this will be Toonami on Fridays.

[Racattack!Force]

I still say this block will be Fried Toonami...okay, that name is kinda lame, but it will be a friday Toonami block. ;)

[Mickialla]

Something tells me this will be Toonami on Fridays.

If it was Toonami on Fridays, wouldn't they just advertise it as "Toonami is moving to Fridays everyone. Get ready to kick off your weekend with awesome action like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ben 10 Alien Force, The Secret Saturdays, and coming this fall, Batman the Brave and the Bold". Why would they make such a mysterious promo if it was still Toonami??

[zoombie]

I might be wrong, and might be way off base, since I have only seen commercials. If I can describe the Secret Saturdays, it is a lot like Johnny Quest only the heros have super powers, there is a mother figure instead of a uncle / second father figure, and there is no best friend / brother figure.

If you like Johnny Quest, you might like Secret Saturdays.

The family doesn't have superpowers. Zak only has the power to talk with cryptids. Otherwise, the family's "powers" all come from devices invented by Doc Saturday or magical staffs/swords that they found. They have no genuine superpowers, besides Zak.

But Jay Stephens was inspired by Jonny Quest (and other Alex Toth H-B action toons) when he had to retool the "Cryptids" concept.

[RonDrakenfan17]

It looks pretty cool, think I'll check it out :)

[tucsoncoyote]

Well after looking over the promos on TV for The Secret Saturdays, I can state the obvious.

1. Cryptids - Since over on Cafe Toonzone there is a lot of talk about Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster and all the other things that could be classified as Cryptids, it's no wonder this show is taking the idea a real step further and are giving us maybe a look into what a lot of skeptics are calling "Creatures that aren't really quire real but yet we have noted with eyewitness reports." After all if you believe in UFO's and Ghosts and things paranormal then Cryptids are right up everyone's alley. After all if La Chupacabra (the Goat blood drinker) is real then maybe cryptids do exist in real life.

2. The Premise- The Idea is really not a shot in the dark, but definitely makes you wonder if "The truth is out there." and with this potential idea, well anything is possible.

3. The VA Cast. With VA's like Nicole Sullivan (As Drew) and Will Friedle (As technogeek Doyle) in the mix, this one is CN's answer to Kim Possible. After all you have a lot of good talent in this set and believe me, seeing this show push the evnvelope and giving Disney a run for it's money.

4. The Plot - A solid plot and with the VA to back it up I think this show has a ftw potential.

5. Will I see it? you bet I will, after all the animation reminds you of Saturday Morning TV from days of Yore, and has a Jonny Quest and Ben 10 feel to it. But with Bigfoot added.

All in all this show has a lot of potential and from what I've seen, I have this feeling this will be CN's newest hit show.. and watch, It'll last all of 5 seasons before something better comes along. (But hey there's only so many cryptids we know about. But what about ones we don't know anything about? The mind boggles.

I say this one is worth a shot at looking at.. after all if Werewolves are cryptids then it's definitely something to look into.

:coyote:

[Racattack!Force]

The sneak peek the showed today was pretty interesting. Show looks good. My only problem is that it was the only one shown. :shrug:

[Chykin]

Now that it has been shown that Zak can talk to cryptids, I'm wondering again if Fiskerton can talk. It might be just Zak, but I think it would be cool if he talks.

[macattack]

If it was Toonami on Fridays, wouldn't they just advertise it as "Toonami is moving to Fridays everyone. Get ready to kick off your weekend with awesome action like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ben 10 Alien Force, The Secret Saturdays, and coming this fall, Batman the Brave and the Bold". Why would they make such a mysterious promo if it was still Toonami??

Maybe they're still undecided whether this will be Toonami or not and they're gauging reaction to the promo to see whether to finally christen it the 5th incarnation of Toonami or whether to make it something brand new.

Most people know by now my preference: 5th version of Toonami. But we won't know for certain until we get closer to October. We should know . . . about two weeks before the block's launch at the latest.

Seeing as how the block is practically a month away, I don't think they can change their minds at this point. The packaging is most likely done, and all we can do is sit up and take it like a man.

Now that it has been shown that Zak can talk to cryptids, I'm wondering again if Fiskerton can talk. It might be just Zak, but I think it would be cool if he talks.

I don't think he'll talk, he'll probably just grunt. And when they mean that Zak can communicate with cryptids, I don't think they mean that he can actually speak with them like Eliza Thornberry can. Remember in the sneak peek, when he was communicating with that one cryptid, he wasn't really speaking to it.

I don't really like the idea of Zak being able to speak to cryptids. I mean, the reality of it is, cryptids aren't MAGICAL creatures. They're only animals that haven't been discovered or proven to exist in science. That makes them normal animals, only some of them might have special biological adaptations. If Zak can communicate with cryptids, he should be able to communicate with ALL animals. Think of it this way, let's say that the species of animal that Fiskerton was discovered and proven by science. That would mean that Fiskerton would no longer be a cryptid, but a recognized animal. Would that mean Zak would no longer be able to communicate with him?? Or let's take another example. Let's say that the penguin was never proven to exist, only rumored. That would make it a cryptid. Would that mean Zak would be able to communicate with penguins?? That's just one technical issue I wanted to point out.

I guess you're right... I just keep hoping he can talk. I don't know, I just like it when there's a talking animal mascot, like with Tutenstien .:p

He doesn't. He just growls like this: Raddaraddarough! :anime: Anyway, the sneak peek slightly lowered my anticipation for the series, but a commercial that aired this morning raised it once more:

Doc: O_o...why did you throw the TV!?
Drew: Um, well, uh, I was in the zone. :sweat:

The bit of dialogue was kinda funny to me.

Makes sense, since Drew Saturday and Princess Mira are voiced by the same voice actor.
