By now they should have moved it to weekdays. Most of their afternoon stuff is in heavy repeats for most of the week. Would certainly be a nice change of pace.

Hmmmmm Megaman... my friend is going to like this. He's a TOTAL megaman fan.
What I"m wondering is hows FoxBox is doing. They really don't have any decent shows except for Shaman King, and even then... Crying or Very sad Oh why did they got rid of Escaflowne?

It was horribly butchered. Confused

Well I honestly can I say I'm not all that excited about Megaman.exe I have seen the original version which is rockman.exe which is quite good and is not as edited as Megaman which surprisingly enough has some heavey edits. For a whole low down on the series check this place out.
http://www.kishuku.com/rockman.html it has tons of info on the show.

The FoxBox is done by 4kids, with the time block being bought from Fox. Like it was mentioned besides the fact that Escaflowne was severely edited, it was on when Fox was still controlling the programing. 4kids most popular shows (Pokemon, Yugioh, etc.) were already being aired by other networks, so they're trying to get whatever decent stuff they can.

I'm just glad they got Megaman as opposed to something more adult.

Knowing KidsWB's track record, my hopes for Astro Boy aren't the highest.

Actually Fox didn't run the block then either. Back when it was Fox Kids it was run by Saban. Everything sort of fell apart when Fox decided to sell Fox Family and their Saban programing to Disney (which gave us ABC Family). 4Kids was quick to come in and take over once the Saban contracts fully expired. It was also at this point of sale that we stoped getting Fox Kids in the afternoon.

Anyway, FoxBox is doing well for itself, keeping the programing interesting with both new imported and original programing.

I'm glad there's more Megaman. I liked it. I wish they had run it during the weekdays at least once, but oh well.

Also, SonicX on the FoxBox appears to be doing well. I say this because for the past couple of weeks, I've seen commercials during Shaman King saying that another episode of SonicX (albiet a rerun) is airing later on, due to it's popularity or something.
