ABC Family announces their new line-up!

A person from CNX (Son Usagi) posted this link with the press release of ABC Family's new kids block. They are going to reair the Fox X-men, Spiderman, Ironman, and Fantastic Four. If you want to read it yourself, here's the link:

This is great news. The only bad side is you have to have cable in order to watch, but I'm betting most people who do are the ones who watched these shows when they first came out, and are now old enough to pay for basic cable (at the very least).

They have a really nice Marvel animated block going there and I'm guessing we may end up seeing some of the other shows like the Avengers, Hulk, and Silver Surfer if the ratings do well. I'm not so much of a big fan of Power Rangers though, but that's only on Sundays so that's fine.

I'm really glad to see that Digimon will be getting a home once Fox Kids' Saturday Mornings go away, but what about the other shows they have? Will they all go to ABC Family? I'm assuming Transformers: RID will probably end up there considering it's a Saban property which in turn is owned by Disney, but too bad for some of the others that may just disappear.

Argh! The Spider-Man show they have described is the crappy Spider-Man Unlimited. I was hoping it would be the original series that Fox aired in the early to mid 90's.

WOOOWOOOO i love it! Disney is smart after all.

I agree. I like the look of the line up. I don't know how often I will get to actually sit down and see it, but I like it.

[James Harvey]

I think it will be the original Spider-Man series. Spider-Man Unlimited was only 13 episodes so that wouldn't be enough for the network. I bet Spider-Man (the poster) is gonna flip when he hears that the animated wall-crawler is back on the air.

As long as the Digimon they plan on airing includes new eps of Tamers/Season 3 (and maybe, dare I say...air Digimon Scanners later on?! Pleasepleaseplease...), it's all good with me!

They are getting rid of Monster Rancher, Disney is not doing something right here. There are still 25 episodes that have to be aired. Genki returns to the game. It is not over.

Best of seasons 1-5 meaning they are not going to air all the episodes.

Here's the Spidey description:

Everyone's favorite web-crawler is stranded in a bizarre world where familiar things are never quite as they seem. In a highly stylized New York City, Peter Parker must find a way to blend in while Spider-Man accepts a level of responsibility he has never encountered. Spider-Man faces an array of villains with incredible powers, some who bear an eerie resemblance to his classic foes. Although Peter's friends and family exist in this world, history has created different circumstances from those at home.

Stranded? Ugh. Sounds like Unlimited. And if it's airing just once a week, I think that 13 episodes would be enough. As much as I dislike Unlimited, I think that this is it. Oh well, with the block on that early, I doubt I'll ever see any of it.

i like this new line up for the most part, it will be nice to see some of the old power rangers episodes again.
