YTV & Treehouse Hop With April Highlights

YTV and Treehouse are hopping with premieres and new special programming in April.

The animated Nickelodeon spy series, THE XS, joins YTVs The Zone Thursday, April 6 at 4:30 pm. Unlike any other family, The X's are four of the best secret agents in the world. Living and working together as an elite special operations undercover unit, they possess unique talents and abilities far beyond those of average families. Mr. X (voiced by Patrick Warburton), Mrs. X (voiced by Wendie Malick), Tuesday X (voiced by Lynsey Bartilson) and Trumen X (voiced by Jansen Panettiere) make up the charismatic family of world-class super-spies living incognito in suburbia. When they are not combating evil-doers, they strive to act like average suburbanites but blending in is hard to do, especially for a family who is prone to trimming hedges with a flamethrower.

In support of THE XS premiere on Thursday, April 6, The Zone airs spy-themed episodes the rest of the week from Monday, April 3, until Friday, April 7, at 4:30 pm, featuring the new JIMMY NEUTRON episode, My Big Fat Spy Wedding.

In My Big Fat Spy Wedding, Jimmy's new mission from the big top secret organization is to follow Beautiful Gorgeous. He takes the job and discovers that she and Jet Fusion are getting married. The episode airs Wednesday, April 5, at 4:30 pm.
