Nick Toons isn't offering anything new in terms of lineup for this event, but they will be having an extend preview of Power Ranger Samurai and a spot line on the new Avatar series. There will be a double premier of DBZ Kai which seems as though it will feature the first time Goku goes Super Sayian,

Time The Hub
04:00 Transformers Prime
04:30 Transformers Prime
05:00 G.I. Joe Renegades
05:30 G.I. Joe Renegades
06:00 Transformers Prime
06:30 Transformers Prime
07:00 Family Game Night
07:30 Family Game Night
08:00 Wing Commander
08:30 Wing Commander
09:00 Wing Commander
09:30 Wing Commander

The Hub may be the underdog for this event featuring both the new G.I. Joe Series and the new Transformer series.

If you want to maximize your viewing schedule to catch all the premiers I'd suggest the following:

4:00 HUB for Transformers -> G.I. Joe -> Transformers
7:00 CN for Young Justice
8:00 DXD Avengers

Who do you think wins the Black Friday Match up?
 
I`ll be tuned into CN due to the fact I need to catch up on Clone Wars and from the previews Firebreather looks good. If I take a break from that then defintely the new Avengers on XD.
 
I think The Hub looks like my choice for the best programming block for this Black Friday since it's introducing two iconic relaunches, both of which look phenomenal.

I am very disappointed that The Hub is showing these shows so early in the day, but let's face it, OVERALL it works out nicely.

I think it very ironic that Hasbro is releasing two of the most toy iconic series on Black Friday; I almost find it hysterical
 
So I went with Cartoon Network and I gotta say, I'm GLAD I did. There were some great heavy hitters like Young Justice and Firebreather. I'm curious about the ratings for these networks.
 
Transformers Prime and G.I. Joe Reneges were both highly enjoyable but I will have to concede that I think they are gonna take a little time to find their feet. It's a great start though.

Young Justice's animation is sharp, really sharp. I felt the intro seemed slightly too cliche, but again, I think its a series that will grow-up real nice.

Nick and DXD just didn't have anything new or explosive to offer. I expected Nick to have previews of the new Avatar series and make a big deal out of it, but Nick disappointed me of how many times they changed their schedule. The one I posted was what was on Zap2it and Direct TV last weekend and of course the final result didn't look like what was advertised.

On the plus side for DXD, the newest Avenger's episode seems to be the best so far.
 
Oh, under recommended viewing list.

Specificity helps =( I spent a few moments trying to figure out what you were referring to as the schedule I listed as well as the feedback posts I made are were right and sat back thinking "WTF is he talking about?".
