TELETOON Slates Canadian Originals

BANFF: The lineup of Canadian original productions headed to TELETOON’s schedule includes 9 Story Entertainment’s Fugget About It, set for TELETOON at Night, and Breakthrough Entertainment’s Rocket Monkeys, to launch in fall 2012.

The 13×22-minute Fugget About It will launch on TELETOON at Night in fall 2012. It follows a teen whose father was once the head of a large crime syndicate. The family is now in the witness protection program, moving from big-city life in New York City to Regina, Saskatchewan. The show was originally developed for the TELETOON at Night pilot program in 2007.

Also on the slate, Just Kidding Kids from Just for Laughs Gags is scheduled for winter 2013 on TELETOON. A spinoff of the TV hit Just for Laughs Gags, the show watches as kids pull pranks on unsuspecting adults. From marblemedia comes Splatalot, a 26×22-minute medieval-themed game show. The series, headed to the French-language TÉLÉTOON, features a group of thrill-seeking teen contestants who compete through three rounds against a squad of costumed gladiators.

Rounding out the roster of new shows is Rocket Moneys. The 26×22-minute show is headed to TELETOON’s fall 2012 schedule. It features a pair of monkeynauts on an odyssey through outer space.

There are also a host of series that have been renewed by the network, including Crash Canyon, schedule for TELETOON at Night for fall 2012. Detentionaire gets a second season on TELETOON this fall. Also set for the network’s 2012 roster is Mudpit, with 13 additional episodes having been ordered.
