MediaWatch: The Super Hero Squad Show Moves To Primetime on Cartoon Network

On Saturday September 19, 2009 The Super Hero Squad Show burst onto television screens across the nation on Cartoon Network to rave reviews and a huge audience. Taking Marvel Comics' world-famous characters and redesigning them in a kid-friendly, super-deformed style, the show quickly became the network’s #1 rated show for the Boys 6-8 demographic. Marvel Comics fans will find their favorite heroes — including Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer, and Falcon — as they fight to save Super Hero City from Dr. Doom’s team of villains.

Thanks to the tremendous success the show has seen thus far on Saturday mornings, Cartoon Network has promoted The Super Hero Squad Show as the greatest heroes of the Marvel Universe make the leap to primetime. Beginning on November 7th, The Super Hero Squad Show joins Cartoon Network's primetime line-up, airing at 7:30PM Eastern.
