Well alot of those show reruns/syndicated nighttime shows during the day. They don't have the original programming for it to happen. The only three that could really pull it off are NBC, ABC, and CBS. Seeing as how they are the only ones who have the only original programming during the day that this is a plausible event.
Now if CN showed one at any time at all THAT would be a shocker beyond all shockers. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

I can see where you're getting at, but don't you think it's totally ironic that the first channel to break this barrier would be a Disney-owned network? I mean, wouldn't you expect a less kid-oriented company to do it first, like AOL Time Warner (TBS Superstation, The WB, etc.), Viacom (The New TNN, Comedy Central), or News Corp. (Fox)?
I believe "Daytime TV" means mainly soap operas, which confines it to regular, non-cable channels. That eliminates Time Warner pretty much altogether. _________________ "KUSANAGI!"

But what about Fox and Viacom? _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

Wasn't it fox who gave us the first lesbian kiss on tv in general? I know the first lesbian was Ellen on ABC so it's not exactly a new topic for ABC, actually its fairly old news for them. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Although even the director and the actor don't know anything about the project, producers of the "X-Men" movie and the upcoming "X2" sequel foresee a film spin-off for their most popular character, Wolverine.
In an interview with Zap2it.com on Sunday (April 13), producer Lauren Shuler Donner confirms that she wants to see a spin-off live action film of "Wolverine" -- played by Hugh Jackman -- and possibly the bad-guy Magneto, who is played by Ian McKellen.
"I can definitely see that happening, yes," says Donner, who has owned the rights to the Marvel characters for nearly a decade. "When I first read about the characters, I though that Wolverine was the most amazing character, he's a tragic hero."
Wolverine, played by the Australian actor Jackman, is a hairy mutant with retractable knives that come out of his hands during battle and cause him great pain, but he also has super-healing powers and his wounds close quickly. He is a loner, has no memory of his past, and is in love with another superhero, who is already committed.
Producer Ralph Winter says that the "X-Men" director Bryan Singer will undoubtedly be a part of any of the spin-offs because he has so intensely delved into the world of the team of mutants who are battling evil. "Bryan has a great insight into what makes the series such a popular piece of pop culture," Winter says. "He makes these characters seem real, like they live next door."
Singer, who says he has not yet signed the deal for a third film in the series, also says he knows nothing about any spin-off projects at this time.
And neither does Jackman, who tells Zap2it, "I'd do it if there is such a project, I love this character so much, it's a gift."
And Donner can see no one better to play the part, although at one point Dougray Scott (the bad guy in "Mission Impossible 2") was cast to play the part of Wolverine. Scheduling conflicts kept the actor from taking the part, and Jackman was pulled from doing the musical "Oklahoma" and cast at the last minute with some initial hesitation from the director -- until the 6-foot-3-inch Aussie walked onto the set in person.
"I can't see anyone playing Wolverine except Hugh Jackman, he has the sensitivity and testosterone to play the part," Donner gushes. "And he's a terrific actor!" _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Hugh Jackman, who stars in Universal's upcoming vampire-hunter film Van Helsing, told SCI FI Wire that he wields weapons, rides horses and does 19th-century martial arts in the movie, which is currently shooting in Prague and Los Angeles. "I've got so many weapons in Van Helsing, I've lost count," Jackman said in an interview while promoting his upcoming X-Men sequel, X2. "I'm almost like one of those watch salesmen. I have this huge overcoat [mimes opening his coat]. It almost becomes a joke by the end. My ... sidekick is going, 'Well, what else do you got in there?' I pull out this crossbow, and I got this and a mace, and you name it."
Jackman stars as a younger version of the monster slayer from Bram Stoker's original Dracula novel, and the Australian actor compared the role favorably with his most famous character, X-Men's Wolverine. "It's probably more physical," he said. "It's just a little more action. ... There's horse riding and wire work, because I get lifted up. And there's fight sequences on a huge scale. Wolverine is pretty intense. ... [But] some of the [stunts] in Van Helsing [are] going to be way up in the sky, flying around, so it's a lot of fun."
Jackman added, "The whole tone of the movie is different. ... And he's [got] a little more of a glint in the eye." Jackman showed up wearing long hair, which he had to grow for the role and which will be extended with hairpieces, he said. "It's considerably longer," he said, adding: "Charlie's Angels long."
Van Helsing, from Mummy director Stephen Sommers, moves production to L.A. this week, Jackman said, and is slated for a May 21, 2004, release. Universal is owned by Vivendi Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Universal has announced that they are pulling their reality movie THE QUEST from its May 9 release date, after New Line announced that their reality movie THE REAL CANCUN will be released April 25th. Both are spring break-centered reality movies. "The truth of the matter is that we saw some footage last week and realized that this film has more potential than we had originally envisioned," Universal distribution president Nikki Rocco said. "It reminded us of the first time we saw footage of FAST AND THE FURIOUS and AMERICAN PIE -- we think there's a lot more we can do with it by pushing it back." No new release date has been announced. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Marvel readers are advised that, due to a printing error, THUNDERBOLTS #78 will be released with a $2.99 price on its cover, instead of the $2.25 cover price that was previously announced for the title. Readers may recall that despite being originally solicited at $2.99, due to positive critical response to the series' new direction, Marvel announced it would retain its original $2.25 price, including THUNDERBOLTS #78. Arriving in comic shops April 16th, Marvel and Diamond are asking ALL comics retailers to sell THUNDERBOLTS #78 to readers at the lower Suggested Retail Price of $2.25, and not at the higher, incorrect cover price of $2.99. Marvel apologizes for any inconvenience this error may cause. Readers can advise retailers to contact their Diamond Customer Service Representative with any questions.

TNN has announced that on June 16, their network will be rebranded as Spike TV. The name change is the result of the network moving towards becoming "unapologetically male." Spike TV's debut will also see the debut of several new programs geared towards men, including financial reports from CBS MarketWatch. "Guys like money, and girls like guys that have money. Therefore, guys are interested in the financial markets," the network rep said. Stan Lee's Pam Anderson cartoon, STRIPPERELLA, will also debut alongside new episodes of REN & STIMPY. Spike will also begin airing uncut versions of movies, including THE GODFATHER and THE TERMINATOR.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The 1980s television series "Knight Rider" and its crime-busting, talking car are revving up for the big screen.
The drama starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, owner of the high-tech Pontiac Trans Am known as K.I.T.T. The car's voice was supplied by William Daniels.
The film is planned as an action comedy, Daily Variety reported Monday.
This time, Hasselhoff will serve as executive producer for the Revolution Studios project, the trade paper said. Glen A. Larson, who created the TV show, is among the producers.
It's not yet known who will star in the film.

James Cameron has confirmed that he will direct 'Battle Angel Alita', "Battle Angel is a very real possibility, and that's the film that I fully intend to direct, that I *will* direct ? the issue is will it be the next film, or will it be the one after the next film? That's really all there is to it at this point. We've done a tremendous amount of design for the film, we're fine-tuning the script, it's just a matter of time." While that is nothing he hadn't stated at last years Comic-Con International in San Diego, he also mentions the likelyhood of more than 1 part. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

2005. The year of the anime adaptions. Lupin, Akira, DBZ, and now Battle Angel. But I'm confident that this will be the only good one. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles

Actually I've got alot of money betting that each and every one of them will either never be finished or will be the worst examples of action pictures ever made.
I'm just praying Angelina whatever doesn't get the lead role! _________________ Bang.
