Cowboy Bebop returns Oct 4, but...

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

They are jumping a BLOCK of episodes--5,6,7, and 8. They will go ahead and air the introduction of "Edward," episode 9, which is a fairly lighthearted episode.

Is it just me, or is this a bit hypocritical for the cartoon block aimed at ADULTS. We're smart enough, we can choose to change the channel if we want.

I hope that they'll consider airing those eps. at some point, even if they're out of order.

LLJ, where did you hear this? I'd like to use this as a news item, but I need to get it confirmed, first.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

From a letter sent by Cartoon Network and...it's on their schedule on the CN website from October all the way to November, I think. I'm sure Jerry Beck will be reporting it soon.

[The Mad Hatter]

Okay, I've got a place to start.

Dang, the CN website doesn't have the episode name or number listed. Foiled again...

[Jowy Blight]

How can you just skip that many episodes!? I would like to see the episodes from where we left off, which was "Balled of Fallen Angels".

I've been hearing so pretty good things about that episode.

But...we now know it IS coming back pretty soon--I still think it is October 4th, but some sites are pegging it as this Sunday.

I have to find the site where I saw the episode listings again...

Okay, here it is:

Bebop (http://alt.cartoonnetwork.com/Schedule/0,3671,CTN|2||Eastern,00.html?time_)

Hmm, now they ARE airing episode 5, "Ballad of Fallen Angels," but are skipping episode 6, "Sympathy for the Devil." Episode 7, "Heavy Metal Queen," will be aired instead.

This could change, depending on CN's last minute whims.

EDIT: Fixed link.

CN has too many whims, but this is rather good news, thank you Leaping Larry Joe
