I'm not real familiar with that channel. I don't think I have it, but it sounds like they show stuff online as well.

Whoah, cool! I don't think I have that channel either, but I know I've got ION (never watch it, don't really know what it is), and of course NBC. Hopefully NBC will show enough on Saturday mornings to include He-Man and She-Ra.

If you have a digital receiver or cable, you should have Qubo. It's basically a side channel to ION. For example, locally 7-1 is regular ABC (7), while 7-3 is local ABC weather.

While the "Ghostbusters" mentioned is likely the Filmation version, I wish it was the Real Ghostbusters.

[Hordak Alpha]

Of course, let's not expect NBC to air He-Man, She-Ra or any of the other classic shows within their saturday Qubo block. According to whoever set up the present day, party pooper atmosphere for saturday morning television, the classic shows wouldn't be "educational" enough even though He-Man and She-Ra HAVE morals built into EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.



Now, if NBC could do it, I'd actually get up and watch the classic shows but I'm not going to hold my breath.

VICTORY, HE-FANS and GO-ERS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Adam_Prince of Eternia]

I get Qubo!

[Tallstar]

downE! That's what I'm talkin' bout.

[Firefly]

I have all those Filmation shows on DVD, but it is still nice to see them get back on tv.

[motu77]

That's awesome news!! Now I just need to get DirecTv to carry the channel.

[manny]

is this on cablevision and what is the schedule of it going to be on?

[CarKrash]

never heard of Qubo..

I only get like 5 channels through the Digital Converter anyway.. yeah.. I don't pay for cable/satelite TV..

Everything I want to see is either on DVD or the Internet.. don't need the tube.!

[Firefly]

It looks like I have Qubo in my area, but it isn't a part of DirecTV, so I need to use a converter box on one of my TVs. One way to see if you have Qubo in your area is to go to http://tv.yahoo.com/listings_setup, put in your zip code, select Antenna as your service type, and select the service provider that mentions OTA Broadcast in its listing. Click on Done and then a list of channels appears. If Qubo is there, then you should be able to watch it in your area.

[manny]

it doesnt look like its on here where i am located

[Adam_Prince of Eternia]

When will they start airing?

[Mr. Shokoti]

I'm getting it in Chicagoland. It's playing on the MyNetworkTV channel which plays WWE Smackdown & network TV reruns. The weird thing is that station is owned by FOX(at least the one in Chicago is) and not NBC(which is what is listed in that press release above).

How can Qubo be playing on MyNetworkTV? They're 2 different channels.

Well, my local CW used to show MyNetwork programs. It isn't unheard of for a channel that doesn't air in one area to have some of their shows shown on a different channel there.

[OrcoFan26]

*sigh* my local time warner doesn't have QUBO. And the only NBC channel we have is from Omaha. They think they need a whole 60 minutes of LOCAL NEWS on a SATURDAY morning (this is in addition to the saturday edition of the TODAY show that is TWO hours long). I only own a small set of Heman and She Ra dvds, but would LOVE to have the show back on television.....I remember watching when I was little.

According to a couple of forums I've been on, it looks like Qubo is changing the Filmation shows from the weekends to all days and it will start the last week of September. However, they are getting the graveyard shift.

To see if you get Qubo Channel, you can go to qubo.com and type in your zip code. If you don't, you can call 877-978-2688 to ask your local provider to carry it! We are really excited about our new Night Owl block and plan to add more great classic shows to it soon!

[deltadod]

Typical a few new eps then endless repeats (trying to pad the series no doubt) anyhoo what day is this starting?

[Super He-Man]

They're doing this for She-Ra too. I didn't check the others.

The series started airing Monday night/Tuesday morning.
