Robotech Returns, Again

[krpalmer]

Around the end of last year, I was interested in a "nostalgic" sort of way to hear that Robotech would be run on the science fiction channel in Canada, "Space"... but when the series got shifted from an afternoon to a morning time slot after just getting through its first segment, I had the uneasy feeling it wasn't doing that well. A few months later, it had vanished from the airwaves (although, to be fair, Space was obliging enough to show the recent follow-up Robotech feature before it was all over...)

Now, though, the series has reappeared on Space, in a Saturday morning block. Having first experienced Robotech as a "Saturday morning cartoon" all those years ago (although, of course, the series was extended from the anime Macross to make it long enough to sell in the weekly syndication market of the time), the news was interesting. "Saturday morning" is not what it used to be, I suppose, and I still don't know if it'll run long enough to finish the segment it's showing now and "wrap around" to its beginning, but I'll have to wait and see.
