I guess Disney is trying to copy, what Time Warner is doing with Toonami and Adult Swim right now on Cartoon Network. I think they will fail pretty badly.

Damn, damn, damn. I actually watch Jetix on ABC Family (and admit it) and don't get Toon Disney. I guess I can say goodbye to Oban, Digimon, Power Rangers, and Witch...

When you say "Power Rangers" which of the numerous seasons are you referring to? I quit watching Mystic Force, too dumb, IMO. As for W.i.t.c.h. you can find torrents for the show, I did when I missed an ep early this season(Season 2). Don't care for either Oban or Digimon anymore. If you like I can find the torrents for the new eps of W.i.t.c.h. and Oban and send them your way.

WTF.

I only catch Jetix on ABC Family. Why should it be leaving ABC Family?

I'm more than capable of getting my own torrents and this whole thing should be a non-issue for me since Adelphia will be changing over to Time Warner in my area by then anyway.

I guess I'm just over reacting just in case, thanks anway.

Thats lame. Sorry guys with no Toon Disney because I watch Jetix almost as much as adult swim now, mainly for PRG and Oban Star Racers. Super Robot Monkey Team is also pretty a'right and The Tick is spendid!

fawho0ooosh!

Am I the only one who can't stand Jetix?

I get ToonDisney, and I hate that the older Disney cartoons got the shaft, just so Jetix could be on there.

I don't want it to stay on even longer than it already does...

Crap. Now where will I go to see old-school Power Rangers? Crying or Very sad (I'm not being sarcastic, by the way. I love the Power Rangers.)

Rumors are abound, but some have said that Disney is trying to get rid of ABC Family or perhaps rebrand it eventually into something else, perhaps with a slightly older demographic like Nick At Nite. Who knows, I guess?

IMO, Toon Disney will eventually become the Jetix Channel myself...

It was at the point where ABC Family didn't really want Jetix on there. They didn't air Jetix promos outside the block, they preempted it a few times. Though it is puzzling how they're replacing first class, current children's programming with Full House, Family Matters, et al.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if it goes that route. Only the newest incarnation of Power Rangers may appear elsewhere like on ABC Saturday mornings (which is more a retread of the standard Disney Channel these days)...

This is might be a good thing. If they replace it with more Whose Line Is It Anyways, then it will be a great thing.

I just wish JETIX set a FIRM date for new W.I.T.C.H. episodes, one week they might show a new ep on a Monday, the next week it might be on a Wednesday, next week the newest ep is on a Thursday at a different time.....

Tell me about it. I missed the fourth episode of the new season because it aired on a different day and time. I'll have to wait for it all to cycle back around in repeats to catch up...
