As I've mentioned a couple of times before, Georgia and I are huge fans of Jay Stephens's current series on Cartoon Network, The Secret Saturdays. As as I've also mentioned at least once or twice, we've been hungrily awaiting new episodes for the last couple of months, and looking forward to the point in mid-April when new episodes would start airing.


As Stephens points out on his blog, the wait is finally over.

The Secret Saturdays return to Cartoon Network with new episodes beginning this Friday, April 10th at 8:00 PM. Because of where CN decided to break the season up, we come back with two irregular episodes, neither of which feature a cryptid of further the Kur Stone plotline. They are both pretty cool stand-alone stories, though! Because what would've been the next episode, "Eterno", is so particularly unusual, we decided to air it the following week, so this Friday will premiere "Black Monday" instead. They will revert back to the original sequence for future rebroadcasts and DVD collections.

And if that weren't enough, this week also sees the release of Cartoon Network Action Pack #36, which we'll be heading into town to get on Saturday (after a tasty meal of burgers and icecream at Phil's Ice House, of course).
