Is this going to be for the original X-men or Evolution?

Everything that I have seen says it is Evolution?

Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool! While I enjoyed FF and IM (by the way, Jim, you misspelled Iron Man in the news post ;) ) a good deal, I found X-Men & Spidey (the regular, not Unlimited) to be much more consistent with quality.

Although, if it turns out to be Unlimited, I'd much rather prefer the Marvel Action Hour any day.

It's very doubtful that they'd show Evolution, since WB owns the rights to that and is still showing new episodes. And all I've heard was that it was X-Men:tAS.

It's X-Men: TAS. When the released the press release with images, it was images from the original X:TAS series.

well, the good news is X-Men and Spider-Man are back on the air. And we get two episodes of both! The bad new's, is we don't get Fantastic Four and Iron Man. This Stink's, like the Captain America Movie! Or even worse, the Avenger's toon!

Can anyone find an explaantion for changing this? It makes no sense...the only possible explanation is that they realized how long it owuld take them to get through those show's one episode a week, and decided to go through X-Men, and Spider-Man than switch over to F4, and Iron Man. If this isn't the reaosn, than somebody has an awful lot of explaining to do.

This is awesome! Can't wait to tape the episodes. And, not to mention ABC Family is added Power Rangers also (Mighty Morphin, ZEO, Turbo, In Space, and Time Force). I need a ton of blank tapes. Guess it was a good thing that Disney bought out all the Saban properties.

Since Disney owns all of the old Saban cartoons is there any chance they might appear on Toon Disney?

Argh, how dare they force me to wake up at 6 for 2 hours of animated bliss. Looks like now I'll have to spend my Friday nights sleeping. Or staying up and going to bed at 8.

X-men and Spiderman were excellent shows. FF and Iron Man were below average at best. FF had an occasion decent episodes.

AW NUTBUNNIES!

Seriously, I'm not happy. Why would ABC Family step in in the middle of a certain countdown and burst our bubble by sending such gold I grew up watching down the drain.

(Disclaimer: I did watch these shows in their original Fox and Syndicated runs. BTW, I do not know if they will air after all quite yet, so I am mad at this situation.)

Looks like I've got an incentive for getting up early. Most likely, I'll be too lasy to get up and will tape it instead.

Hmmm....I don't know whether to be happy with this news or not. I always loved the X-Men and Spider-Man toons (even Unlimited) but was also hoping to finally get to see the Iron Man and Fantastic Four eps I hadn't seen, seeing as how I didn't get them in syndication while they were airing. On another note, it looks like ABC Family will have Spidey and X-men every week day starting at 7 along with a full hour of Digimon (why can't this show be hidden and never be seen again?!).

Aw, fignuts!

As much as I love X-Men: TAS (Phoenix Saga! Phoenix Saga! WOO!), I was looking forward to seeing Fantastic Four again. Maybe they'll find room for it eventually.

Ooh, i hope it's the early 90s Fox Spiderman series and not the Unlimited series. Did that one even last long enough to get on syndication?

Nope - thanks to the wonderful series that is Digimon (grumble, *#*@!). Mela (I see you changed your name :D) it looks like our liking of the same shows seems to continue - I was really hoping to see the Fantastic Four eps also, the Inhumans saga was especially good (the couple eps I saw that is).

I thought the first season's of both FF and iron man were terible, but the second season of these two shows were a lot better then both spider man and x-men TAS. I will go so far as to say that along with x-men evolution, the FF and iron man as well as pryde of the x-men are the best marvel cartoons.

The first seasons were indeed horrible, but their second season, speficially IRON MAN's, was amazing, very well done. I can assure you that we'll see this show on ABC Family, but just not right away. X-Men and Spider-Man are incredibly hot right now, so they are likely plugging what's popular.

Cool. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the FF cartoon (for reasons that [1] I've always liked the comics & [2] a great casting decision that begins with a "Quinton" and ends with a "Flynn"), and I'd hate to see YET ANOTHER show I like consigned to limbo. Never even saw the Iron Man show, though--hopefully, it won't be a long wait till it's back on so I can finally see it.

Schway! I'll finally get Slave Island on tape (I hope) and get to see the appearance of my boy and Scarlet Witch.

Sigh. Guess I'll have to reset the ol' VCR . . .

This cannot be happening to me! Ah! I don't have ABC! :eek:

Does anyone know if They'll be re-airing Spiderman TAS episodes in Canada. I really hope so. The movie comes out in May, so I'm hoping a channel or two picks it up to build up hype for the movie or something.

*sigh* :(

hey! I watched that block this morning. it was cool. i didn't get to see much of Spiderman though. I glad they are finally showing The original X-men again. But i still like Evolution too. :D :p

Does anybody know why both the shows aren't being aired next weekend and they are replacing them with Best Of Power Rangers? I really hope this is just a one weekend event!

James Harvey

03-03-2002, 03:11 PM

So, what episodes did ABC Family air of these series . I am assuming they aired the X-Men episode Night of the Sentinels and the Spider-Man episode Night of the Lizard. Anyone watch these shows this weekend?

As for Spider-Man in Canada, Teletoon continues to air the original 1960s series, but YTV still has the rights to the SPIDER-MAN:TAS 1990's version - so there's a good chance.

Anime Freak

I watched X-Men!Oh how I missed that show!I always thought of X-men being much better than evolution.I just found out that starting in June over the summer Disney will put Power Rangers on at 3:00 everyday!And some weird series called Beetleborgs at 3:30.And toon Disney has gotten the rights to the Tick and will show it on their channel!Ahh the horror!!!!

VantheSlayer

03-03-2002, 03:20 PM

They Aired the Night of the Sentinell's two parter, Night of the Lizard, and the Scropion EPisode(The first one with him, if there were any more.)

Jim..they did indeed air the episodes that you said. I really hope that they will continue to air the entire run of both of these series.

I TIVO'd the four eps of the Power Rangers block this morning..although I do not know which eps were aired as I have not had the time to transfer them to tape yet.

On a diff note...anything to report on the situation with GI Joe , Transformers and CN yet?

Are you all talking about a different ABC Family than this one...

http://tvlistings1.zap2it.com/one/grid.asp?one_partner_id=ABC&grid_hour_length=24&grid_start_day=3%2F9%2F2002&grid_start_time=32&cat_id=0&goButton=GO

I can't find X-Men or Spiderman anywhere on their schedule.

James Harvey

03-03-2002, 07:59 PM

They aired today according to viewers at www.superherohype.com and a couple other Spidey sites. TV Guides sometimes don't get up to date immediatly.

As for Spider-Man in Canada - I wouldn't be surprised if it pops up on the FAMILY channel, seeing as how that channel is "powered by Disney", and Disney owns thew right to that show now. I hear YTV has the rights, but that could have changed.
