The Secret Saturdays:The 'Secret' is out (pilot review)


Doc, Drew and Zak Saturday are a family of world-saving scientists called "The Secret Saturdays". Living in a hidden base, they are part of a network of cryptozoologists called The Secret Scientists who protect mankind against all the hidden and terrifying things in this world. In this show, ordinary folktales aren't just legends, but real-life mysteries and adventures. Traveling from the hot Gobi Desert to the depths of the Marianas Trench, they explore ancient temples and bottomless caves and battle with twisted villains like the madman V.V. Argost who hides his evil plans under the ruse of his popular television show Weird World.

Seeing the pilot yesterday the show is off to a good start. It is a kids show but it's not too 'kiddie'. The pilot titled Kur Stone did a great job establishing a solid base for the characters and illustrating the cryptids. the animation reminds me of Jonny Quest( 60's) which is another one on the plus column. The bad thing I have to say is, there were not enough action sequences but that's about it. I recommend seeing this show on cartoon network on Fridays.
