As of December 31st, Fox is suspending it's weekday afternoon block (Digimon, Power Rangers, Action Man, etc).

It's now up to the affiliates to decide what airs in the now vacant two hour time period, but the network can reclaim the time at any point as long as they give six months notice. The Saturday morning schedule will remain, at least for now.

I'll bet by this time next year, Fox will join CBS and NBC in abandoning their kids shows.

Stanley Spadowski? Who's that?

Speaking of Fox, why did the Fox Family Channel suddenly become the ABC Family Channel?

Because Disney bought out Fox Family, and come January, the entire FF schedule will most likely be overhauled in favor of Disney oriented shows.

So shows like Angela Anaconda, What's with Andy? and the infinite hours of Olsen Twins programming will all bite the dust.

I also have a feeling Tale Spin will pop up on ABC Family since it's completely vanished from Toon Disney's lineup.

With the crap that has been spewing out lately who misses it?

Yeah Cartoon Network only runs Cartoon Cartoons,of which Dexter & Samurai Jack I like,Toonami which should be running a lot more anime than just Dragonball Z(StarBlazers would be nice),Looney Tunes & some Hanna Barbera(Scooby,Flintstones & Jetsons mostly).They moved a lot of their stuff to Boomerang which I don't get.So I miss out on the Superfriends,Smurfs,Thundarr(if they run his show at all)& all the other groovy toons I grew up with.

And I can't wait for JLA!!!

I truly hate MY cable provider I never get the good new channels....
Boomerang and TVLand to name a few....and I got Comedy Network right before they cancelled MST3K the only reason I watched that channel. Until the Man Show came round.
