On Saturday, March 23, a repeat of "Fun and Games" will air at 8:00am EST. This will be followed by a repeat showing of "Shadow Dance" at the series' regular 10:30am EST time.

The following week, on Saturday, March 30, a repeat of the first season episode "Grim Reminder" will air at 8:00am EST followed by the premier of "Operation: Rebirth" at 10:30am EST.

"Operation: Rebirth" is set to star Wolverine, and will introduce both Captain America and Nick Fury to the X-Men: Evolution series.

In other X-Men: Evolution news, the series helped the Kids' WB! set all-new season record-high ratings and saw the network dominate all Saturday morning competition to rank #1 among Boys 2-11 (6.0 rating/22 share) and Boys 6-11 (7.5/28), with seven of the top 10 programs. The network continues to sizzle the broadcast competition with a #1 win in Kids 2-11 (4.4/17), Kids 6-11 (5.6/22), Girls 2-11 (2.8/12) and Girls 6-11 (3.6/15) and posted all-season highs in Kids 2-11, Kids 6-11 and Girls 6-11. Kids' WB!’s domination stems from the significant ratings/share gains in all demos over the parallel week last year in Kids 2-11 (+38%/+21%), Kids 6-11 (+44%/+38%), Boys 2-11 (+50%/+29%), Boys 6-11 (+56%/+40%), Girls 2-11 (+12%/+20%) and Girls 6-11 (+29%/+25%).

Ranking among the top 10 broadcast and cable programs in Boys 2-11 and Boys 6-11, X-Men: Evolution, in a special 11:00am EST airing, captured the time period broadcast competition to rank #1 among Kids 2-11 (4.6/17), Kids 6-11 (5.3/21), Boys 2-11 (6.1/22) and Boys 6-11 (7.0/27), with all-new time period season highs. The series' bonus 11:30am EST airing set all-new time period highs for the season in Kids 2-11 (4.3/17), Kids 6-11 (5.3/22), Boys 2-11 (5.7/22), Boys 6-11 (7.2/28) and Girls 2-11 (2.8/12), and won among its time period broadcast competition in these demos for the morning.

[Joey Meyers]

Operation: Rebirth hasn't aired yet, it will finally air on March 30th. That will be out elusive 14th episode, and after that, we'll have only three episodes left.

[stormwatch]

[loganalpha30x3]

[SpaceCowgirl]

A new episode is going to be on the 30th? Cool! Going to need to set up my vcr just in case.

[Zach Kinkead]

On Saturday, March 23, ....a repeat showing of "Shadow Dance" at the series' regular 10:30am EST time.
Cool, I just hope I can see it this time around

Anyone seen an add for this yet? I wasn't home to check for a Grim Reminder Preview today. I wonder if the person who got all those screen captures for the walk on the wild side preview has found anything?

[Warhorse]

If less is more think how much more "more" is. I'm looking forward to the second episode as the series itself has great character development coupled with smooth animation. After spending time in Japan I'v always regreted that there really isn't a North American counterpart to the anime industry. With X-men Evolution increasing in popularity (and episodes) it's nice to see our heroes more regularly and participating no nothing less then a solid art form.

Warhorse.
(I only did to my nemisis what he was going to do to me. I just did it first)

Well, they did show a preview for "Operation: Rebirth" yesterday morning; it was "flashback footage" of Wolverine and Captain America as teammates during World War II.

*sigh* Yeah, that would have been great, if they'd shown the freakin' commercial during 'Shadow Dance' which I taped yesterday. But instead they showed it during Yu-gi-oh which I didn't even WATCH, but my wife did and she came screaming into the room telling me they had a long commercial on for Operation: Rebirth and _naturally_ we weren't taping at the time because we don't tape Yu-gi-oh and ....

Well, you get the picture. I didn't get to even see the commercial, let alone tape it, so no preview snaps from me this time, sorry. :(

Haruka (still kicking herself for not liking Yu-gi-oh)

Oooh... That really does stink. Question- Why doesn't kids WB show preview during the show they preview? Wouldn't it make more sense to advertise to people who WATCH evolution? There's my crazed rant for today..... not much of one, though

[Atomic Boy X]

I loved 'Shadow Dance'!

I think it was called. Is that what was on yesterday?

-Atomic Boy X :arch:

[Bamfette]

Shadow Dance was a tres cute episode ;) i did not watch yesterday but it is the episode where Forge makes a device which will enhance Nifghtcrawler's teleportation and it opens up rifts into the dimension he ports thru, letting out mean nasty creatures, which spoil the school dance. that the one you saw?

damn, i don't watch U-Gi-Oh, and did nto watch my cartoons at all yesterday, would ahve liked to see that commercial :(
