Case Closed Joins Bionix

THE ZONE GETS A SPY-FUL WITH NICKELODEON'S THE X'S
The animated Nickelodeon spy series, The X's, joins YTV's The Zone Thursday, April 6 at 4:30 p.m. Unlike any other family, The X's are four of the best secret agents in the world. Living and working together as an elite special operations undercover unit, they possess unique talents and abilities far beyond those of average families. The X's: Mr. X (voiced by Patrick Warburton), Mrs. X (voiced by Wendie Malick), Tuesday X (voiced by Lynsey Bartilson) and Trumen X (voiced by Jansen Panettiere), make up the charismatic family of world class super-spies living incognito in suburbia. When they are not combating evil-doers, they strive to act like average suburbanites – but blending in is hard to do, especially for a family who is prone to trimming hedges with a flamethrower.

The animated series, The X's, premieres in its regular timeslot in The Zone, Thursday, April 6 at 4:30 p.m., repeating Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
