According to <a href="http://www.variety.com">Variety</a>, Kids' WB! has booked five of its most successful shows for another season. The network has given early season pickups to "Pokemon: Master Quest," "Jackie Chan Adventures," "X-Men: Evolution," "The Mummy: Secrets of the Medjai" and "Rescue Heroes: Global Response Team" for the 2002-2003 season.

The five animated series consistently outperform the broadcast competition among kids 2-11, kids 6-11 and boys 2-11. For fourth quarter 2001, Kids' WB! led the Saturday morning broadcast competition with seven of the top 10 programs among kids 6-11, boys 2-11 and boys 6-11 and took six of the top 10 broadcast program spots among kids 2-11.

The WB has ordered 13 episodes of "X-Men: Evolution". As expected, Pokemon will return with a new "quest". Note the "new" name for The Mummy's second season. Could it have something to do with the season finale? Stay tuned...
