The only new anime on YTV is

The only new anime on YTV is on Friday (and Saturday if you like Yu-Gi-Oh! GX) anyways. It's a bit early to be messing around with the schedule. If they really need to run CanCon then why slate a block for anime?

DAMN!

Well, other than Naruto, I guess that means we'd have to wait for the weekend for the MAJOR anime.

I don't see anything listed

I don't see anything listed on Zap2it, but I would suspect they'll do what they did with the Pokemon movie last Friday and run a marathon 5pm-7pm. Since the regular episode fits during that block, it's the most likely place. If not, then they'll at least run episode 3.

Well, I'm afraid the weekday

For those who were worrying about Bionix being maligned for what Telefilm Canada ails for, don't: Bionix has not been affected.

All day long was Thanksgiving specials. Not surprising considering it was Thanksgiving and all. They'd been promoting Thanksgiving for about a week only on YTV; no clue about scheduling.

I bring more good news:

Kefka_Pallazo — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:37:03 -0700

I bring more good news: we're going to get Boondocks 's second season in November. Specifically we're getting it on November 18th at 10:30PM(repeats 12:30AM) on Teletoon. This is at least according to their press release for November, check their press page's program highlight page for more details(corp.teletoon.com; goto Press Room, Program Highlights, should be the first item on the page).
Here's the part of the press release which confirms it:

Quote:

New Episodes on The Detour on TELETOON
The Detour on TELETOON brings new episodes of 8 shows to televisions this November including new Minoriteam, Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World and Sealab 2021. The Detour also welcomes back Huey and Riley in a new sharp season of The Boondocks each Sunday night at 10:30 pm and 12:30 am ET/PT beginning November 18.

Now then, upon further "research", my notice of YTV's bizarre schedule change is seeming to become more and more seeming like a false alarm(eg., a one-day thing): YTV's More Show Times listing still lists IY, Naruto and FMA on Monday October 22nd at their usual times. We'll know by 10:00PM(or earlier, if YTV actually updates the schedule pages) if my worries were unwarranted. I'm still skeptical though, what with the last few days of unannounced schedule changes(Avatar being pre-empted for Pokemon Jiriachi Wish Maker on Friday, tonight's schedule, etc.).

Kefka_Pallazo's right. While

Kefka_Pallazo's right. While checking for Avatar on YTV today, the Rogers box also had that portion of the schedule listed, despite YTV's schedule still listing IY/FMA/Shadow Raiders repeats. I checked during 10:30-11:00 during a commercial for Crayon Shin-chan, and Shadow Raiders was airing.

Is the Boondocks premiere in Canada or the US?

It's for the USA.

I can't wait for it to air on Teletoon.

YES. No. More. Monster Warriors.

This is some good news. I agree with Kefka, this makes it SO MUCH better.

Sorry to spoil the celebrations about Death Note but YTV has changed their nightly lineup on Monday to Thursdays.
Here it is:
9:00PM: Futurama
9:30PM: Pinky And The Brain
10:00PM: Naruto[reruns]
10:30PM: Shadow Raiders
11:00PM: Mystery Hunters
11:30PM: Prank Patrol
These schedule changes, in all probability, were made because of Cancon issues again(already?). The only surviving anime show to this change are the Naruto reruns. At least it's not bad as 2006's disasterous Cancon Purge, where the nightly anime block was dropped altogether.

If this is permanent, this is one sucky downside.

I guess you guys are

Musomoan — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 21:33:28 -0700

I guess you guys are right.

I was just being overcautious. I mean, at any point they could edit something, but like I said, I was overcautious.

I watched the block tonight,

Kefka_Pallazo — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 21:13:27 -0700

I watched the block tonight, checking their "coming up next" bumpers near the end of the shows.

Upon some thought after my posting above, I might be wrong in this being permanent: this might be a temporary change what with it being Thanksgiving and the schedule being all out of whack. Didn't they say in the Avatar marathon email that they were going to change their schedule? Because of this ambigious mention, I decided to post tonight's somewhat concerning schedule. We should all know in a few hours(or whenever YTV updates their schedule) if this is to be permanent or just a coincidence.

Someone at YTV is getting some serious work done this long weekend, because an Anime Bulletin was sent out this morning:

Death Note is confirmed! Premieres at 10pm E/P on Friday, October 26.

Good enough! Mark your calendars, because with the final few episodes of Eureka seveN, the few episodes of Gundam SEED Destiny which just happen to be awesome, and now Death Note, this will quite possibly be the best that YTV's Bionix block has ever been.
