BURBANK, CA (June 13, 2001) - Kids' WB!, the #1 kids' broadcast
network for the past two seasons, gears up for the summer with cool
all-original programming and its new Saturday morning line-up, including
the hit animé-adventure series Cardcaptors which returns for an
exciting second season, beginning Saturday, June 23 (8:30 a.m. ET
/ 7:30 a.m. PT).
In addition, the comedy-adventure team of Agents Jay and Kay come
face-to-face with their most challenging assignment in a stunning
two-part series finale of Men in Black: The Series, airing Saturday,
June 23 and June 30 (11:00 a.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT). Don't miss
the great alien-hunting mission as these secret agents protect Earth
from those wacky tourist aliens.
The
Cardcaptors adventures continue in season two as 10-year-old Sakura
and her mystical classmate Li now must learn to manage the magical
Clow cards. As "Master of the Clow cards," Sakura must face her
destiny by making each card her own "Star Card" in order to continue
the centuries-old line of magic…and to keep the legacy of the Clow
cards alive! With the help of Kero, who has returned to his true
form - a lion with wings, Sakura and Li race against time as they
assign each card a specific purpose before hundreds of years of
magic are destroyed. In the meantime, strange disturbances are creating
havoc in town and a new transfer student, Eli Moon, has a hidden
agenda which will drastically affect the Cardcaptors' fate.
