NBC is dropping the NBA now, ABC/ESPN has picked it up, so Inside Stuff will air on ABC now.
I guess it be new episodes for Lizzie, I don't watch this stuff. I posted what I had, so don't know about Even Stevens.

TNBC will be gone this fall, Discovery/NBC will take it's place.

[Mr. Stefani]

There are no more new episodes of Lizzie McGuire, just reruns.

[cubsfan1060]

Wait a minute... Lizzie Mc Guire is no more than just re-runs? I can't believe this! I am very happy!=) I knew I would get part of my wish sooner or later. Now only if we can get just a little more help putting some more decent shows on Sat. mornings and I think we are good and ready to go. As far as the rest is concerned, I do not think it will be all that bad. I watch TV Land and Nick Games and Sports on Sat. mornings now-a-days.
