Saw (with bad reception) while packing for my big apartment move (all of 3 blocks, albeit to a much better dwelling) part of today's KWB lineup...thus, given the poor reception, no comments from me about the animation quality of X-MEN...

BB: Ooooh, super-intelligent gorillas...wonder if he'll lead his fellow apes in founding some sort of super-intelligent civilization like Flash's old enemy, Gorilla Grodd...er, or not. Pointless comic book references aside, the whole thing still felt a bit cheesy, I guess (the ape sure seemed to pick up human speech quickly...), albeit marginally amusing (Bruce got a few decent lines).
Next week: (from the promos) *SUPERMAN*! Woo-hoo! Let the "Man of Tomorrow" nickname overuse begin (can imagine the promos: "The Dark Knight of the Future Teams Up With the Man of Tomorrow!" or somesuch thing...)

POKEMON: Since I didn't change channels, caught most of this while packing/working as well...something about the gang being lost in the woods with an owl with the less-original-than-the-average-Poke-name of "Hoot-Hoot" as their guide...all that and weirdly-animated ways of expressing characters getting angry, too...

JACKIE CHAN: (Bizarro voice) Awww...reruns again. (That one with the snake talisman that makes people invisible)

X-MEN:
While this wasn't as bad as I feared it would be, it's still not exactly the movie that came out this summer (or the early-90's X-Men series). In particular, I liked the voices on the old cartoon better (it's still how I imagine Wolverine as "sounding like"). Xavier sounds like an imitation of Patrick Stewart's voice. Nightcrawler looks/sounds nothing like he did on the older X-Men cartoon (though he still does his teleportation thing...[PINKY: WAHAHA! Two places at once! TROZ!]). Um, that's about it.
Well, except for the theme music being somewhat of an improvement over the old cartoon's...
