Evo taken off the air at WB

Looks like they changed their minds as to showing Evo reruns. As of the 18th, X-Men Evolution has been pulled off the air of the WB. It has been replaced with Pokémon: Advanced. No word as of yet if this is a temporary removal or not.

With this new sucky development, Evo is not being shown on TV in the United States anymore. Cartoon Network has replaced Evo with Samuri Jack in the 10:30pm timeslot, but supposedly Evo is coming back in December(?).

The new WB Saturday schedule is:
8:00 a.m. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Enter the Shadow Realm
8:30 a.m. Teen Titans
9:00 a.m. Jackie Chan Adventures
9:30 a.m. Xiaolin Showdown
10:00 a.m. Pokémon: Advanced
10:30 a.m. ¡Mucha Lucha!
11:00 a.m. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Enter the Shadow Realm
11:30 a.m. Pokémon: Advanced

Being discussed here (though a few minutes after I posted this, the site was down for an upgrade) : http://animationinsider.net/forums/inde ... topic=6193

Imagine my surprise when I tuned in to WB at 11:30, only to see...Pokemon.

Ugh, this stinks. I was waiting all week to tape No Good Deed.

I agree--their timing couldn't have been worse.

Well, it's on YTV on Saturday mornings (I think... at least it was last week, and the week before, and the week before...

), in about... *checks watch* an hour and ten minutes... Well, at least the DVDs with the episodes can be bought...

Oh! I am very sad about this!

But it explains why I couldn't find it this morning, flipping stations looking for the right channel. I wound up watching three different cartoons I didn't even recognize, until I finally gave up and did some laundry.

Beboots- They actually took Evo off YTV and replaced it with some HotWheels Adventures crapola. Anyway, we better get it back son, it's the only thing I got up for on Saturday morning.

LittleBlueGirl, calm down. Evo is supposed to return to Cartoon Network sometime in December. It was only taken off the schedule temporarily.

As I posted here: viewthread.php?tid=3115

"Oh, and shows are constantly switched around in timeslots on TV. Since it's November Sweeps, they must be putting more new stuff up, like that new Star Wars animated series. Evo will come back once Sweeps are over.

To those who aren't familiar with what Sweeps are: they're when networks really hype a bunch of shows with exciting plots. They try to draw in the highest ratings (meaning most viewers) to the shows. This helps determine what advertising rates are for commercials airing during the show. I'm not sure how long those rates take effect and last until though."

Well, it's January and I can't find it anywhere. Kids WB has a website that's death to all who try to use it, they still have their December calender. Heck if I know what's going on.

You know what would be easy? If they stuck the regular times next to the shows instead of making people hunt through their schedules for some type of pattern!

Okay, rant over. I'm still wondering where it might be. Sweeps are over (New Teen Titans episodes my rear

) and it seems to have not returned yet.
