Already showing re-runs???

They are already showing re-runs of Sigma Six? what's up with that?

Typical. What they showed was essentially the mini-series to set up the rest of the show, and then one more episode which, coincidentally I am sure, featured the only toys that hadn't yet appeared (Spirit and the Ninja Bike).

I have no idea how many eps are airing this season, but for some animated shows 13 is a full run. Even if its in the 20s, almost no show shoots it whole load out the gate. Many show between 6-10 new eps and hit reruns, and that's for big prime time series.

The show stinks. The animation is bad cookie cutter japanimation and NOTHING makes me want to buy toys. All the screaming and explosions of Pokemon/Ugio and no substance.

If the show is any indication of how long the toys will be around, buy now or pick the clearance bin in a year.

The episode I caught ended when robot dog wizzed on Cobra's power generator.

Haven't been watching many new cartoons lately, have ya? The production values on S6 are head and shoulders above much of what's on Saturday mornings of late, and you have to remember, a whizzing robot dog may appeal a bit more to kids.

By and large the show has turned out better than I first thought (I jumped in with ep 2), and at this point could go either way. I'm not thrilled with the way every show has to flash anime style (though I can understand why they do it), but that's pretty easy for me to move past. The first ep outside the 1st story arc seems to have dropped Scott and his mutt, so hopefully we won't see much more of them.

Yeah, you got me there. I don't catch too much new stuff. What I do see lately is mostly also bad. Batman looked OK. My benchmark for good is a little old - Samurai Jack and Justice League (for older kids).

I'll give it another try.
