KIDS' WB!'S TOP-RATED SCHEDULE TO HIGHLIGHT ALL RETURNING FAVORITES WITH ALL-NEW ADVENTURES: Beginning Saturday, September 13, the new Saturday morning slate launches at 8:00 a.m. ET with an early dose of the second season of What's New Scooby-Doo? as the meddling Scooby Gang travels the world in the Mystery Machine, solving the comedy capers that come their way. The hot animé hit Yu-Gi-Oh!, which has dominated the ratings since its debut and features ancient Egyptian legends, exotic monsters and new fantastical adventures, returns in the 8:30 a.m. ET time period.
Jackie Chan Adventures (9:00 a.m. ET) returns for a fourth season joining Jackie, Jade and the J-Team on their new quest as they travel the globe in search of nine magical Japanese Oni Masks. The inner-body buddy-cop comedy Ozzy & Drix (9:30 a.m. ET) returns for its second season, featuring white blood cell Ozzy and over-the-counter cold pill Drix, as they give a microscopic view inside adolescence…from the body of 13-year-old Hector Cruz.
This Fall the saga continues with the next evolution of the popular animé-adventure Pokémon - Advanced (10:00 a.m. ET), following ASH and Pikachu as they journey into an unknown land – with hundreds of never-before-seen Pokémon – and ASH strives to become the ultimate Pokémon trainer. Celebrating Latin culture, the irreverent, over-the-top comedy ¡Mucha Lucha! (10:30 a.m. ET) is back for a second season, following three mascaritas as they make their way in a bizarre world where Mexican masked wrestling is a way of life.
With its 11:00 a.m. ET bonus airing, Yu-Gi-Oh! returns for a third season of more thrilling adventures as Yugi discovers what it takes to be a master duelist when he and his friends travel to the ultimate dueling arena for the showdown of the millennium. The excitement and drama escalates to a whole new level in this fourth season of X-Men: Evolution (11:30 a.m. ET) as the X-Men must now face the world after their true mutant identities have been exposed.
On Monday, September 15, Kids WB will kick-off its new Monday-Friday LINE-up with more classic Scooby-Doo mysteries (3:00 p.m. ET/PT). The weekday LINE-up also will feature more adventures of Jackie Chan Adventures (3:30 p.m.), Pokémon (4:00 p.m.) and the smash-hit Yu-Gi-Oh! (4:30 p.m.).
Also coming to Kids WB later this Fall will be Xiaolin Showdown, a comedy crusade that takes viewers on an around-the-world journey with four, young but wise, monks trained in the ancient art of Shaolin Kung Fu. These young heroes protect the world from villainous adversaries in gravity-defying showdowns along the way!
In addition, later this season, Kids WB will be joined by Astro Boy, the futuristic story of an atomic-powered robot who must fight for justice and peace in a society that scorns his kind; and Teen Titans, in conjunction with Cartoon Network, introducing a new young breed of superheroes led by famed Robin The Boy Wonder. The return of Static Shock, featuring the first African-American teenage superhero in its fourth season, along with the second season of Megaman: NT Warrior with new cyber adventures also will highlight the 2003-2004 season.
