The Secret Saturdays was a cartoon about cryptozoologists trying to study and protect mysterious creatures called cryptids and was created by Jay Stephens. The main heroes are Zak Saturday along with his parents Solomon ''Doc'' Saturday and Drew, his uncle Doyle Blackwell, and the cryptids Zon, Komodo, and Fiskerton. The major villain was V.V. Argost who happened to host his own television program about cryptids.
It is a shame the show was not treated very well for the most part. Corey Burton (the voice of Van Rook/V.V. Argost/other characters) and I talk a lot about TSS. I would love to see more DVD releases, but probably never will even though the show is on iTunes.
My favorite characters are Drew Saturday, Argost, Master Gokul, Van Rook, Abbey Grey, Piecemeal, Drew Monday, Baron Finster, etc.
My favorite episodes are The Ice Caverns of Ellef Ringnes, Guess Who's Going to be Dinner, The King of Kumari Kandam, Twelve Hundred Degrees Fahrenheit, Black Monday, Target: Fiskerton, Once More the Nightmare Factory, The Legion of Garuda, And Your Enemies Closer, and War of the Cryptids.

At first i wasn't sure if I liked the show. To be honest, I went through a phase where I thought the only good shows on CN were the Total Drama Series, Chowder and Flapjack. I'm surprised this show ended so quickly! Same goes for Chowder and Flapjack. Now that I look back, it does look a tad interesting. Maybe it's because Shego's VA does Drew Saturday? I dunno. But I do agree: the network was mean to it! As TV Tropes would say, "Screwed By The Network."

At least the first two volumes are available on DVD and all episodes are on iTunes.
I really wish CN would give the show another chance, but it will never happen. At least release the rest of it on DVD.

Most of the time, CN's very good with its shows. If there's a network that screws their shows the worst, it's Nick! Look what they did to Danny Phantom!
