Although they did not air any commercials, or mention the new episodes on their channel (which was a really bad idea, and may cause less people to see it the first time around), they did list it on their site
CartoonNetwork.com, under their
Sailor Moon section. Click
here to see this weeks episodes. The episodes they have listed, staring Tuesday are, "Dreams Take Flight", "No Ordinary Horsepower", "Sweet Dreams", and "Baiting the Trap".

Skipped Episode Update:
The missed episode was aired on Sept. 13, 2000 (9/13/00), at 4:30 PM EST, on Cartoon Network. English episode #112, was skipped the first time around. [comes after episode #111, "It's In The Cards".] Cartoon Network did not approve of the content editing, or lack there of, and sent the episode back to be re-edited. The Daimon/Heart Attacker was editied and had a bathing suit airbrushed onto her. In the original episode the daimon only had the black star symbol of the Death Busters (Bad Beahavior Bureau) covering her chest.

New Sailor Moon Dolls
Sept. 06, 2000
New Sailor Moon Dolls have been released by
Irwin Toys in late August 2000. The dolls currently available are: Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Tuxedo Mask. They are all available as 11.5" figures, and Sailor Moon has been released in a 6" figure. They can be bought at many stores, including
Toys "R" Us, K-mart, and K-B Toys
New Look: The new dolls are more accurate to the characters than the previous ones. This time around they have noses, and the correct wands and shoes. The dolls come is light blue boxes with a picture of the five inner Senshi in the bottom right hand corner.
Also a commercial has aired on TV advertising the new dolls. Although I have only seen it once, and only the last part of it, I saw it on Nick, on Sept. 4, 2000. The commercial has little girls playing with the dolls, and introduces each of the characters.
NOTE: The top picture came from the back of the doll box, but it is not accurate, it shows all the dolls with Crescent Moon Wands, while only Sailor Moon comes with one. The other come with their respective wands.
