90's Hulk continues on ABC Family

[Andrew T. Hingson]

According to the online schedule. ABC Family will be airing more episodes of the Hulk 90's series at 10:30 (sandwhiched between X-Men and Spider-Man on Saturday, no spidey on Sunday's though) on the weekend. Maybe that promo about seeing all the great Marvel Superheros on ABC Family this summer wasn't missleading afterall.

I wouldn't count on seeing Silver Surfer, the Avengers, Fantastic Four or Iron Man on a consistent basis. The reason ABC Family is airing the Hulk animated series is because of the hype that is being generated from the film - they did the same thing with Spider-Man when the first movie was released in theatres and again when the first DVD was released (seeing as how Buena Vista can use a marathon to promote their own animated DVD release of the series). My guess is that the Hulk will run through the rest of the summer and then quickly be removed from the block and return with a marathon around the time the movie is released on DVD.

That sounds about right. After all, ABC Kids is all about improving their low ratings so getting to show episodes of the Hulk and Spiderman while the movies are coming out (theatrical and DVD) seems good way to boost the ratings. Maybe they'll have a special Marvel block sometime inbetween July and August as part of a marathon or something.
