Hasbro's HUB schedule posted!

Hasbro & Discovery Channel present The HubThe Hub, the joint venture between Hasbro and Discover Channel, left me a bit perplexed when it was announced.  After all, the only programs I could think of were “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero” and the original “Transformers”– what was going to occupy the rest of the broadcast day?  Well, according to TFormers.com, the Hub will be occupying quite a bit of my minimal viewing time with ARAH reruns, Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Beast Wars, and one of my all-time favorite sci-fi series Farscape!  Better yet, three of those shows will form a solid block starting at 11pm EST every weeknight!  Add in the forthcoming G.I. Joe: Renegades series and I just might be in TV heaven!
