I think later's good. :yes: How do you find the strength to get up so early on a Saturday morning? :sleep:

Hey! isnt the later timeslot a good thing, doesn't that mean, the later is it, the more violence there is( meaning more X-Men action)

[DCUnited]

No, not really. This is a cartoon and it is aimed for kids, so I don't think that the later time slot has anything to do with more violence.

It's been moving around alot lately on Saturdays... driving me nuts when I try to set up my VCR to tape it. It use to show at 930am, an hour earlier than posted by the WB on their site. Then recently when I tried to tape it at 930, luckily I woke up in time, it wasn't on until 1030. And then I found out that the local tv stations were swapping channels and stuff.... so it's on at 1030 so far. Now we find out it's moving to 11. Hmm, guess I just have to go week by week and periodically check online what time it's gonna be on.

who says I'm up that early?;)
I usually wake up around 9:00 AM ct, and I'm usually waiting for a half hour for the show to come on. The beauty is though, that when it was on at 8:30 AM ct, you just record it and boom, you wake up and the tape is just sitting there:D
