ABC Family Kids Block Schedule for September?

[ClassicComedyFan2]

Ok. Here's what I do know:

Digimon will return after a long run on the UPN Kids block, kicked off by a marathon.
Medabots and Beyblade will have new episodes.
A new anime named Diagunder will premiere also.

Here's what I DON'T know:
Will Tokyo Pig be returning? If not, what happened to it?
Will Power Rangers continue?
What will be the exact schedule?
And, will any of the Marvel cartoons start/stop/continue?

Thanks in advance.

I don't see Digimon scheduled in the regular schedule, only for the 9/6 marathon. As of now, there are no changes at all in the regular schedule.

Great to see 'Digimon' on seven days a week. Two episodes of 'Spider-Man' a Saturday is good too. And, I'm SOOOOOO glad the Hulk cartoon has been CRUSHED! Diagunder is on at a good time (I was worried this promising new anime would interfere with Pokemon: Advanced!) and great to see old Power Rangers and Ninja Storm are hanging in there too.

Sad news: NO TOKYO PIG!

The '95 version of "Spider-Man" stinks. ABC Family usually have the old episodes from the 1967-70 series. I missed that show "Mary-Kate & Ashley's Adventures" that it was aired on Fox/ABC Family since two years ago. I have all the episodes from the show was originally shown as part of the video series that I taped off Fox/ABC Family. Now I have all the episodes except the ones I don't have is "The Case of the Volcano Mystery" and "The Case of the Sea World Adventure". I missed those Mary-Kate & Ashley episodes from the video series that was shown on TV.
