"Code Lyoko" Stripped at 10pm starting Next Week

[William C. Maune]

Code Lyoko, the little show that could, appears to have earned itself a second strip starting next week. According to Cartoon Network's schedule (http://schedule.cartoonnetwork.com) (click on "Code Lyoko" to see future air times), starting on Tuesday Code Lyoko will air on Miguzi and at 10pm each weeknight. The 10pm airings start from episode 1.

I've never been able to watch this series from the beginning, but the episodes I have seen are interesting. I guess I'll try and watch them, but this means this last hour will be a Miguzi power hour followed by Adult Swim.

[Ultra Mike]

I guess this means Code Lyoko must be doing fairly well in the ratings. I don't remember CL ever being given another weekly strip before (it has been shown on weekends but not weekdays outside of Miguzi). This also makes the 10PM hour the repeat Miguzi hour in a way with CL and Yu-Gi-Oh GX. When are they getting new GX episodes anyway BTW?

[solarflere]

This is wonderfull news. I must say CL sure has grown. And with season 3 in the works, it could be (dare I say) greater than Reboot. Me and the rest of the Lyokophiles in the Fan Club will be proud.:D The ratings are never higher.

Me and the rest of the Lyokophiles in the Fan Club will be proud.:D The ratings are never higher.I think Code Lyoko is doing well because unlike Megas XLR, this show has "clicked" with the right viewer demographic on the Miguzi programming block. That explains why a third season has been ordered. :)

[Lady Nasuada]

THIS IS SO GREAT! however, i currently do not have a tv in my room. so other people have to watch twice as hard for me.:) please say you will. PLEASE! or else ill sock you one good.

I suppose, at least it gets Yugioh GX out of there.

Reboot is still one of the best things that I have ever seen in my entire life!!!!
I say it's just as good as Reboot (probably better now since Reboot is currently unfinished:( :crying: :crying: )
But I am still very proud of CL being on at this time. Yay!!!!! I'll be a happy camper for a while!!!!

[sag_2002]

Awesome! This has been a great week for Lyokoites.

CL is awsome in its own right combining 2D and 3D CGI is very cool.

So I am glad for the third season and another time slot.



Awesome! This has been a great week for Lyokoites. Thats Lyokophiles®.:D:anime::cool:

FYI, the Miguzi airings will be Season Two episodes, the 10pm airings will be Season One episodes. So for whoever said they didn't get to watch the show from the beginning, 10pm on November 1 will be your chance.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

And thus the only show that seemed farely exclusive to Miguzi ISN'T anymore. They've put worse things at 10PM though and no more double Foster's is much approved but I know what they "were" going to put at 10PM and it was better than LYOKO.

And no Conan we've still got YGO GX at 10:30PM. So once again prime time has an hour of Miguzi reruns... Woohoo... I'm so happy I could shoot myself... I want my daily Ninja Turtles back dang it! And where the heck is Justice League?!?!?!

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I've never been able to watch this series from the beginning, but the episodes I have seen are interesting. I guess I'll try and watch them, but this means this last hour will be a Miguzi power hour followed by Adult Swim. There's no "power" in a Miguzi hour unless it consists of Megas, Titans and/or Turtles. Well... Static ain't bad just overplayed.

This reminds me of when Miguzi first started and Teen Titans and Totally Spies were both in prime time. Infact every Miguzi show has had a shot at prime time except Ninja Turtles. Which I find rather unfair but CN is rarely fair so that's a moot point.

Would it kill them to put Zatch Bell on weekdays? It's more than earned a shot. Heck... I'd take One Piece again just so Miguzi shows don't get stripped twice a day. Putting Miguzi shows pre-AS is stupid and always will be stupid. That's where Toonami shows should be stripped. Miguzi is already a stripped block it doesn't need prime time encores. Zatch Bell and JLU at 10PM would be an ideal lead into Adult Swim that would be enjoy by both young and old. 10PM is still prime time but the "teen dramas" are over by then and 11 year olds should be in bed (at least a lot of them) so let 9-14 reign 10-11PM not 6-11.

They will be doing season 1 fall the new CL folowers so they can catch up. There is nothing wrong with that.


Woohoo... I'm so happy I could shoot myself... And if that's what it takes for you to satisfy your happiness, [sarcasm]then do it, just don't kill your self [/sarcasm end] but dissing the show will get you no where.

[Zyzzybalubah]

Not that I'm for more Miguzi over the network, but hey, at least it isn't Rave Master (what the bloody heck were they thinking?)

[Mad Mod 49]

True that Reboot was never finished and I consider it an awsome show
Don't remind me! :mad: The way they abruptly ended it was terrible! Megabyte wins and that's it? They should've just ended after the whole Daemon fiasco instead of doing this "Two Bobs" plot. That would have been perfect.

[solarflere]

Don't remind me! :mad: The way they abruptly ended it was terrible! Megabyte wins and that's it? They should've just ended after the whole Daemon fiasco instead of doing this "Two Bobs" plot. That would have been perfect.Yea i know, Deamon Rising was cool, but My two bobs was realy bad. megabyte comes back and stronger than ever, and taked controll of the War Room. The End:( i think that they wanted a To Be Contenued... But either lost the ratings or loss of money or lost the contract to make more. A total Cliff Hanger. I was pissed, But it was some time ago. i got over it. (BTW, I watched every episode of it).

[EscaflownePilot]

I can live with Code Lyoko at 10pm; in fact, I'm almost looking forward to it. But, what the hell is up with Codename: Kids Next Door on Miguzi, and why hasn't anyone else put up a stink about it?

[Kagetsu]

While I'm not sure CL is a show for the 10 pm block, but seeing it from the beginning is great for people who missed it and I'll enjoy another good show to watch before bed. There hasn't been anything good in that time for a while now. And maybe this means there won't be those really annoying adds for other shows in while we are trying to watch?

what the hell is up with Codename: Kids Next Door on Miguzi, and why hasn't anyone else put up a stink about it? I only ever watched CL and TeenTitans, and sometimes TotallySpies, on Miguzi. But KND? That show seems to be running everywhere on CN. And I thought Winks was wrong. goodgosh :p

Don't remind me! images/smilies/mad.gif The way they abruptly ended it was terrible! Megabyte wins and that's it? They should've just ended after the whole Daemon fiasco instead of doing this "Two Bobs" plot. That would have been perfect. I never knew what happened to Reboot. I only picked up interest in it when Andrea and Matrix appeared, but did like Dot when she entered a game. I do remember Bob's return, but it seemed like it wasn't going anywhere after that and lost interest.

[MahouShoujo13]

This is wonderful! :anime:

Unfortunately, somehow I get static due to the cable box. Stupid cable box! (*Kicks cable box*)

Wow...with this and Season 3 in the works, this is doing incredibly well. :D

[Andrew T. Hingson]

I'm sorry if I sounded a bit harsh before. I have nothing against LYOKO or it airing more. But I think they could have used the space better. But it is better than YGO GX so it's a pitty that's still there (though I do find some entertainment value in that one for whatever reason).

KND on Miguzi? Well it looks like it swapped spots directly with TS. We'll see how that works out but does anyone else notice something very odd about this? It takes the only truely girl oriented show off the block in favor of a more gender neutral program that constantly does well with 6-11. But that also sides Miguzi with the boys due to YGO GX (which really isn't all that gender neutral IMO, but more than some shonens). Besides that the others are fairly gender neutral though I'd say they almost sides with boys. Are girls on the way out? I don't imagine they would do that because that's the whole reason they made Miguzi but it's a little odd none the less. Oh and what's Miguzi's next addition? Robot BOY. Very suspicious...

That was pretty close to the End of the show. There was definitely room to grow (There was an internet Virus that was threatening all systems looming in the background) but the way it ended, it would have been extremely wierd to carry on the show.

Play video games untill Adult Swim.

Repeat.

[Freedom Fighter]

Sketch does bring up a good point. Why is the network leaping backwards and putting two Miguzi shows before Adult Swim? That draws back to the whole extending the Fridays block bit late Friday nights/early Saturday mornings. Is CN honestly trying to find a way to get a decent amount of K6-11 viewers every single moment of the day? Kids need to sleep and have school in the morning, you know.

And I'm not sure where CN's numbers stand compared to the beginning of this year, but I do know that not only has Disney Channel passed CN for #2 in all of the major kid demos, DC is now firmly in position to challenge Nickelodeon... on a daily basis, in some of the older demos. Honestly... is CN in panic mode or something, because many of the moves they've made this year make it seem as if they're getting desperate for any good news ratings-wise.

Oh well... I guess for new Lyoko fans and old ones who've already forgotten things from the first season, this'll be a good chance to catch up. Watch in droves, though, 'cause given how fickle CN can be, if not enough people are watching it, they'll pull it before it gets comfortable. (As much as I hate to admit... I'm betting there'll be a different show in the 10 pm slot before Thanksgiving. :sad: )

Wish I could be one of the lucky ones to see it, but I work the graveyard shift.

[Lutochris]

Since when is Lyoko less of an older kids/teen show than JLU, Teen Titans, Megas, etc? It's not a strictly 6-11 show, in fact if anything I'd say it's MORE of a teen show than any of those, or anything on Toonami for that matter. I'd say it's appropriate for the timeslot, but I agree that I'm sick of seeing Miguzi stuff everywhere. But not in this case because until now Lyoko's been suck in the Miguzi block.

[William C. Maune]

Actually, yes. What kind of ads do you see on CN? Mainly toys and toy related things. When do people generally buy toys? Oct./Nov./Dec., the holiday season. Thus, because this is the time of the year when most toys are sold, this is also when advertisers are most trying to promote the toys they want to sell. Advertisers are willing to buy more commercials and to pay more for them. However, advertisers have a choice in where they spend their money. Besides CN, there is Nick, Kids WB, ABC Family and even places such as Nick at Night (Full House pulls in surprisingly large numbers). Because now is the time when advertisers are willing to pay more to adverties, CN needs all the 6-11 ratings they can to convince advertisers to pick their network over others and to convince advertisers that they should pay more for spots on Cartoon Network. CN makes its money off of advertising and this is the crucial time of the year for the kinds of things that are advertised on CN. Thus, CN is indeed trying to get as many 6-11 viewers as possible.

But still... does the Fridays block need to be repeated late night on Fridays every week? And that was the point of my statement... are they trying to keep a couple hundred thousand kids awake all night just because they want ratings?

It's not a knock on the advertising (because, honestly, someone has to even that late at night, no matter if 200,000 kids are watching or just 20), it's just a knock on the programming choices. That's all I'm saying.

Perhaps surprisingly, ratings are up for the Fridays overnight repeat. I don't think it is so much a case of trying to keep kids awake as a case of tapping into the kids audience that is still awake. It may not be large part of the population, but I'd imagine there are a significant number of kids who stay up, epspecially on Friday night since it would be the first chance they would have had all week.

Yay! w00t!

I have to agree with teh SF man. I did enjoy the TT/DBZ Uncut thing in the summer, I would have watched more if it was C:L/DBZ Uncut.

More of a teen show than JLU and Megas? You're joking right? More of a teen show than IGPX, Bo-Bobo and Naruto? It's about Zatch Bell and Teen Titans level of teen appeal if you ask me. But more importantly the bulk of it's audience is 6-11 and that pretty much makes it a 6-11 show. The shows on Toonami pull in their highest ratings with 9-14.

But I'm not saying LYOKO couldn't or doesn't have teen appeal but if your comparing it to those series you best have a way to back it up.

[Dudley]

Wow. The show must've gotten better if they were to give it another time slot and a 3rd season.

Actually, I probbaly would say Code:Lyoko has more teen appeal than Megas and Bo-bo-bo-bo Bo-bo-bo. Not JLU and Naruto though. And IGPX? That show hasn't even premiered yet, so I'm not going to compare Code:Lyoko to a show I haven't seen.

As far as actual numbers go, I wouldn't doubt that Lyoko probably pulls more 6-11 and less 9-14 than Toonami does, but only because until now it's been stuck on an after-school block at 6/5 E/CT. As far as content and appeal, though, it's defenitely at the very limit of Y7, just about bordering PG. I won't compare it to Naruto, because it actually is PG, but as far as Y7 stuff goes (is JLU Y7 or PG?) it has as much or more older-kid type content than anything on TV, with Nick's "Avatar" being the only thing I'd equate it with. And not just with the violent aspect. There are a few disturbing scenes where someone on Earth is fighting someone/something possesed by Xana and gets the crap kicked out of them but it's not really more violent than other stuff. But the heavy-handedness of it all. They're not afraid to use words like "death" and "kill". The angsty and romantic stuff is done better in Code Lyoko than anything in Y7 and even MOST of PG toons. They deal with life-threatening stuff that is NOT fantastical. The best example of that would be the episode "Cold War", watch the ending with Ulrich and Yumi, and tell me you've ever seen a Y7 show produce a scene that emotionally powerful. It deserves a night spot as much as anything on Toonami right now.

EDIT: Forgot one very important thing - TONS OF UNDERWEAR AND SKIN! Christ it's got more angst and fanservice than Eva.

[sag_2002]

Wow. The show must've gotten better if they were to give it another time slot and a 3rd season.
Indeed. Season 2 has given us several quality episodes, like "Cold War", "Ultimatum", "A Bad Turn", and, my personal favorite, the recently-aired "Franz Hopper".

Whoa. I agree with you completely. Escpecially the edit. You get a cookie!

[Kodra]

In last night's episode they had to decide between a fate that included most likely killing their friend and one that potentially involved a nuclear explosion. Aelita cast the final vote, and proved she was willing to sacrifice herself for the real world.

These aren't really kiddie issues if you ask me. I can definitely see this being more appealing to the older crew. And yes, there is lots of Yumi/Sissi fanservice throughout the show.

I think the arguement can definitely be made.

I'm an older viewer (19 years old)...............and this show has appealed to every friggin way that has been stated here................I 100% agree with this!

[Lutochris]

Thanks, I knew I'd win with the "Cold War" reference, everyone loved that episode :)
