That "good clean fun" phrase comes from the episode where she she goes to the beach from Season 5. Were talking about Season 2 when salem swallows a time ball.

It's funny how in the UK, Disney Channel had Teen Angel, while Nickelodeon had Sabrina and there were those episodes. However, Sabrina is practically a Nickelodeon show, being made by VIACOM who own Nickelodeon and being shown on Nick USA.

Hi,
does anyone know if the last series of 'Sabrina' will be repeated on CiTV???
It may carry on MoM but I prefer CiTV as they don't cut so much out as SMTV used to. For example that Xmas episode (from 2 weeks ago) had the beginning scence, middle scenes and the last scene al cut out. I only know this because I read the Sabrina Transcripts.

Thank You,

LoveTV

Marty Buys the Farm.
Children's comedy series. When 15-year-old Marty dies after eating a six-month-old burger, he must earn his admission into heaven by returning to Earth as his best friend's guardian angel.[/code:1:0760f3eaaf]
Sounds novel if nothing else. It's probably an import, has to be either American or Australian for its absurity. Smile


Yeah, that's the old 1997 Teen Angel - American. It's quite funny aswell if I remember, but I'd say it's more for teenagers than the young audience CITV are now meant to be aiming for...


Has this been seen in the UK before?
Quick IMDB search which linked to epguides.com reveals there's only 17 episodes. Spooky Magic Productions/Touchstone Television for ABC, Sep 1997 to Feb 1998.

http://epguides.com/TeenAngel/guide.shtml - looks a bit morbid in places, especially towards the end of the run.

Yes Teen Angel was originally on the UK Disney Channel, and is still shown at some points, usually in weekday afternoons along with home improvement and programmes whilst children are at school.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but there was a promo for Ministry Of Mayhem at 3.00pm today, though it mocks a news channel with the whole Breaking News thing, but it is being kept under wraps.

So nothing major has been revelaed yet.

Yeah it's the same idea as the one on the website. Usually they would do like CiTV did with the Vault, where by they have these little teaser promos running from three weeks before, then a week before a promo that combines these and actually tells you what they mean would run. But as CiTV hasn't been on since Christmas Eve, they couldn't do this. Though I don't see why ITV couldn't run them, even if CiTV made them.

Interesting opening to today's CiTV though. It started with red blue & yellow lightning bolts attacking the itv1 logo, and looked as if it would go into a new start up ident, but instead went into a short hey arnold sting.
This was followed by a new tots promo and the milkybar sponsership into miffy & friends.

So there he is, the new presenter, Andy J, isn't he an itv2 announcer? He's talking very CBeebies to the viewers. Perhaps he needs to relax a bit. A nice refresh to match new programmes with a furry logo with Sooty & Sweep. Though the 4 note tune seems to have been toned down. Its only been used once, and that was a new animtion with old music.

He most probably just needs time to relax. Though he has got the same tone of voice as when he does itv2 ca's. He's chatting to Swag later, let's see how he does then.

They have played around with the graphics aswell, really strange, and are too basic. Last September they were basic, simple and good. Now they are getting too basic that they are being produced quickly and are looking rubbish.

And notice as well how they are running ahead of time for once. When Michael & Leah were on, and could do with time to talk in they didn't have any, and now, loads! The first commercial break wasn't until the middle of Hey Arnold.

Don't like him that much. Bit wooden except when talking to swag, he seems very relaxed with someone with him.

I thought there were going to be 2 'new' presenters with a 'familiar face' presenting with them. Is this true or have CiTV only employed one. If this was true wouldn't they have had all 3 on today?

The titles are really cheap, using the same music but weren't only 2 variants made and the rest were the 4 note tune? I say just go back to the old theme tune, very catchy and better than these.

He is a bit wooden, even with Swag I found him a bit wooden, but maybe with time, saying that did Tim improve with time? Whilst CiTV have him saying simple things, introducing, repeats and imports, CBBC have Andrew & Angellica laughing, goofing up and talking about Britney Spears getting married whilst Angellica read a newspaper.
For the first time in my life I may give up watching CiTV.

Didn't Wilson say that there were two presenters with one of them being a familiar face? Even when Michael & Leah were around they hardly presented together from September. If only they could have picked up SM:tv's Des, or even Shavaughan, or bring back Tom, Andrea & Dannielle, or Leigh & David!

I presume that they have used redone the graphics quickly and haven't had time to get new music from the people that did the old music. Though like the itv1 celebrities, CiTV couldn't keep the MPAA ship ending, or the flinstones idents or any related to September shows, as they aren't on anymore.
