Holy crap, really?!?!

This is the best rerun news since Space's debut in 1997.

Now if only the station would also still consider first-run animation of any kind ....

YEA... Ill FINALLY be able to see the last 21 episodes... BCTV ran it years ago... but only the first 2 phases and episodes 1-4 of phase 3... then they reran the first 60 again and then stopped... I was so CHOKED

Oh and in case anyone is interested there is 85 episodes total

Huh,  I guess Beelzebuub and Astoroth are having snowball fights now.  Too bad it's on during the day when I won't be able to watch.

ASN did the same.  I was eventually able to see episodes 64 to 85 in 1999 when I found a site that had them all streaming.  I have to say I am quite excited to get a chance to see them all again and on a larger screen than the 15" iMac I saw the majority of the Invid Invasion phase on.

And don't forget that original Japanese Macross theme too:

So, did SPACE get the Remastered version of Robotech through ADV? That would be swell if they did, but either way this is awesome news! I'm looking forward to it.

Whatever we've got looks really good and clean... I guess that is the remastered version. A show page will go up soon.

Also, we have Robotech prizes to give out when it airs.

This is the best news ever.  I last saw the series back in 1990 when my 2 sons would get me up at 7:00 on Saturday mornings to watch it in French.  I have never seen it in English.

ROBOTECH rules & I always thought that is where the idea for Transformers came from.

Is it too much to hope that maybe there will be other Anime in SPACE's future!!! now if BABYLON 5 was also going to air it would make my 2008!!

should be good

I also remember it was airing Saturdays ... after Astro Boy...and they had a television auction the weekend episodes 21 and 22 of phase 2 were supposed to air... they had Astro Boy on the schedule but no Robotech... so I waited for the following weekend and sat down to watch ... only to see #23 and 24... later I was FURIOUS to find out that they had aired Robotech in Astro Boys time slot the week before and had to wait till they reran them to see those episodes...

I wonder if with its addition this means Alias or one of the remaining Treks will be removed from the schedule.  Any word on which Robotech it will be?

If they have 85 episodes, it will be all three phases.  Macross went from 1 to 36, Southern Cross from 37 to 60 and Invid Invasion from 61 to 85.  I haven't seen any mention of the Sentinels, but I think those few episodes (movie?) were titled Robotech 2.  My info on that is spotty at best, though.
