Well I thought that the preview at the end of CITV was fine, it told you bits about the show without giving too much away and gave Andy the opportunity to do something a bit different.

The cartoon they are showing is "Tutenstein" more details about that cartoon are on the Discovery Kids website. http://kids.discovery.com/fansites/tutenstein/tutenstein.html

BTW, I thought that Teen Angel was quite good, I've never seen it before, but it clearly has similarities to Sabrina.

They have a link on citv to Ministry of Mayhem site, but when you click on it, it goes to ministryofmayhem.com and it still says "MOM Holding Page". Sad

That title isn't what I expected either! It's in pink - a bit girly! I only got a tiny glimse of the ending of one MOM ad the other day. Couldn't see it today as I went out for early dinner.

And obvioulsy there's the Sabrina crossover that happened later in the series, following on from the timeball episode. I haven't seen it, but I did some reasearch and it was actually a gimmick on the network's behalf, with Sabrina chasing Salem round ABC one Evening- she appeared on Boy Meets World and another Sitcom as well as Teen Angel.

Looks as if she did a crossover on ABC's "You Wish" which lasted the same time as Teen Angel - only one season.

I don't know, the graphics were quite impressive, especially compared to the march relaunch. As for the rest of the show, no one yet knows.

The website is now up (here), or by linking from the CiTV website (here)) which has ministry ads everywhere. Has anyone else noticed the new section - The Andy TV Guide. And there's even a ministry of mayhem pop up when you go to the CiTV site. I wonder whether they are planning to advertise on other sites.

Indeed, something different than just talking in that mellow relaxed voice he always puts on.

Well we still don't know what the MoM will be like but at least it looks like the opening titles will be fairly good

Looks like MPAA won't be on - but 2 cartoons!

I think no matter how bad the first show might be, we shouldn't really pass judgement on the show until about 6 or so weeks in to allow the show & the presenters to settle and for us to get a fair idea of what it is all about. Over the last few days I have been watching the last 3 eps of SM:TV that I taped just to plant an image in my mind of what the show was like towards the end so I can try and compare it to MoM, hopefully I'll be able to say that MoM has turned out better than the later SM:TVs. As not many details have really been relased around the show, we'll have to wrap our heads around the format before we can really say anything, it definatly looks like something different to SM:TV, though as long as it's different to Dick & Dom I'll be happy.

They've got a kicking website, I'll give them that much. Far more better then SMTV, Saturday Show or Dick N Dom.

I caught some of by accident on Disney some time last year and I was confused why both Sabrina and Salem were on a show on The Disney Channel. But as you said it had something to do with the timeball thing as Sabrina was looking for Salem.

Noticed today that they have started to play out credits to programmes like Thomas The Tank Engine without interrupting them with crappy promos.

I prefer to believe the promo just never turned up, or when it did it was too late to run in full without interrupting the Milky Bar sponsor trailer. Remember how often ITV1's 2001/2 ECPs quite often failed to turn up especially on sponsored programming. Thomas was "interrupted" as you say the other day with a promo, though.

Re: Teen Angel - I wasn't that impressed really. Looks very Friends like. Suppose it's the entire Sabrina crossover thing in the timeball episode of Sabrina The Teenage Witch that I'll be watching out for, as has been mentioned in this thread. Can't see anything in Teen Angel that's of any appeal, really but then its not aimed at me Smile

I seriously remember eating a really awful burger while watching Teen Angel years ago!
