Whenever Kids' WB! airs Pokémon, it creates a force so phenominal, no child is safe from it's hypnotic powers. And coupled with X-Men: Evolution, Kids' WB! has risen to become the nation's leading broadcast network on Saturday mornings.

The uber-popular cartoon series Pokémon: The Johto Journeys and X-Men: Evolution ranked among the top 5 broadcast programs of the morning this week.

Jackie Chan Adventures took the #1 rank among boys two through eleven and six through eleven in the 9 am timeslot.*

Meanwhile, X-Men: Evolution, at 9:30 am, whose new season begins Sept. 15, manages to rank at #1 for boys ages two through eleven, and #2 for boys ages six through eleven.

Pokémon: The Johto Journeys, at 10 am, stands this week as the #1 show for kids ages six through eleven, tying with the popular ABC fluffy cotton candy block, "Disney's One Saturday Morning". It also ranked at #2 among boys ages two through eleven.

Kids' WB!'s brand new CGI import show, Cubix, slipped through the cracks, falling below the top ranks with a respectable average rating of 2.9 throughout the age groups.

Rescue Heroes: GRT won the 11:00 a.m. timeslot for kids ages six through eleven, and girls ages two through eleven, as well as six through eleven.

For the weekend, ABC got a 2.0/10 in kids ages two through eleven, while Kids WB! and CBS’ Nick Jr. lineup were tied in second with 1.9/9 averages.
