CITV on ITV1 Thread

:O what this show needs is some better in-programing, Drake n' Josh is about as pish as it gets and Shuriken School takes ripping off anime to a new, almost fantastic, low.

I watched the first show again and i think it has potential. All they need is a studio audience where they can take part in the studio games as a group of boys and a group of girls and have about one or two phone in games and of course some better games where the boys and girls can actually compete against eachother!

I actually like Drake & Josh, but I agree about all this mock anime rubbish, though I'm not a fan of real anime either- I saw Spirited Away and I can't see what all the fuss is about.

I never liked Drake and Josh when it first appeared back on MOM because to me it looked like another 'over the top' american sitcom but after watching it for a few weeks i started to enjoy it. However there are some bits of Drake and Josh that i find embarrising to watch sometimes.

Estelle Hughes seems to like Shuriken School...

It also says the series will air on Jetix in the UK.

I wonder where that door leads to in the last cap? It looks like the set is located right at the back of the studio as it looks like that door leads to an office.

And no sign of the Doc anywhere in those caps!

And now also here is the theme music. Its sound only and in mono i'm afraid.
Saturday Showdown Theme

I doubt Saturday Showdown will be live for the next few weeks as both Holly and Stephen are presenting Dancing on Ice, and i doubt they will be doing two live shows per day.

It was slightly better today. Noticed Wallace wasnt there today perhaps this could be a role for Peter Cocks to play?. Its still missing a studio audience. Also just out of interest, what was in Scratch's cupboard? I missed that part of the show.

The old CiTV cheer sound effect was on saturday showdown today.
Or was that not specifically for CiTV?
