(A shame I suppose for Disney who have some great old shows that they should show on Toon Disney!).


Agreed. I've had Sky since 1999 and haven't seen a single episode of Darkwing Duck since its GMTV days! That was one of Disney's best original TV concepts IMO. Also, more new additions to the POP/POP Plus schedule from this week including Madeline.
Have MOM shown all the Tutenstein episodes or will the remainder be screened in the Tuesday slot? Or will Tuesdays be changing to AGU and Teen Angel as well?

There are still 3 TutenStein episodes left. I guess they've finally realised it wasn't right for Saturday morning TV.

I wonder what they will do with Teen Angel though. They could continue to show the next episode, but then CiTV would be repeating them, equaling less viewers for fridays, or they could start from the beginning again.

As said by LoveTV, perhaps they should show the remaining episodes from the last series of Sabrina. They know that there is an audience for them on Saturday mornings, as SM:tv Live shownt them for years!

POP shocks me. It must be the most unbelievably poor made channel. It's practically just picked up every show thats still avaliable to buy.

Mixed with wierd animations between the shows, and then they show a few hour of videos! I wonder how much it's costing them to get the rights to all of these old shows. Many of which were made for CiTV/ITV

Were the cheeky monkeys and its our show! That dinosaur thing sucks too.

POP is from the makers of Chart Show TV and The Vault.

God, Tricky the dinosaur. I can't believe that that used to be a Saturday Morning Show on ITV1, what were they thinking?

CiTV aren't sure when the remaining episodes of Sabrina will be shown. However, Girls in Love will have new episodes in 2005!

Interesting. I wonder what they will do about Girls In Love. Whether they will keep it at the same age range, or lower it to a Tracy Breaker type average age of 10. The first series has seemed to have fitted the age group of nick well though!

Looking through the current CiTV schedule, the only CiTV commissioned shows that I can find are
>Bernard's Watch (Tues),
>Brilliant Creatures (Wed)
>(Possibly also Angellina Ballerina, but not sure whether this was made for CiTV),
>Eliminator (Thurs),
>Ministry of Mayhem (Sat)
>Along with Hilltop Hospital (a co production with some other networks; weekdays)
>& Rosie & Jim (Tues, Wed, & Thurs).

Everything else (the majority of the schedule is imported from other channels or countrys.

>Thomas The Tank Engine (x2)(made for Nick Jr)
>What About Mimi (x2)
>Hey Arnold
>Sleepover Club
>Angry Beavers
>Tutenstein
>Spongebob Squarepants
>Sonic X
>Sabrina
>Adventures of Jimmy Neutron (x2)
>As Told by Ginger
>Teen Angel

12 commissioned programmes in the week (and 8 of them (Hilltop Hospital & Rosie & Jim) are repeats!) against 15 bought programmes.

I'm sure there are usually more commissioned programmes, though CBBC on One aren't much better at the moment, so I suppose putting all of their new programmes onto their channel is trying to attract some of the audience onto there.

That's something. When the analogue signal has been turned off (and supposedly everyone will have gone digital) will Children's programmes continue to be broadcast on the terrestrial channels (i.e. BBC One & Two, ITV1, etc) or will it all just shift to the digital channels?

There's schedule changes next week, Boohbah is back, The Yuk Show with Jamie Rickers is new on Wednesday and Thursday brings a repeat run of 'Big Meg Little Meg'

The girl off UP2U was in the studio today telling kids to get in touch for the next series, which will probably be shown in the Summer, although remember the last episode of last year's series was never shown as "Alien Week" took over in the first week of September.

Wow, good memory Andrew! I'd totally forgotten that.
That 'Yuk Show' looks interesting. We still haven't seen the new series of How 2 yet.
I quite liked Big Meg, Little Meg. Glad that's coing back (is that replacing one of the Jimmy Neutron's then?).

By the way, to all fans of MoM, they have a new game on this weeks show titles 'Play Your Farts Right', sounds vulgar, but let's see how they'll pull it off!
Along with new shows All Grown Up and Teen Angel.
I wonder what else we can expect?
