Underdog Heads Up Kabillion’s Olympics-Themed Programming

LOS ANGELES, August 7:
Kabillion will debut the classic 1960s animated TV show Underdog on both its VOD and online platforms today as the
service launches a series of Olympics-themed programming.

The first Underdog episode to debut on Kabillion will be “Drawn By the Magnet Men,” which features Olympic athletes
mysteriously disappearing. Other Olympics-themed programming for August
includes a Bobby’s World
episode with a young Bobby competing in his neighborhood Olympics; Code
Lyoko, where the evil X.A.N.A.
creates a zero-gravity zone on the field just as Ulrich is about to compete in
the soccer finals; Pet Alien,
in which Tommy and the aliens concoct a plan to help him with the DeSpray Bay
MathOlympics; Mix Master, where
humans and Hench come together for the first time for a Sports Day; and I
Got a Rocket, which features
Vinnie deciding to purposely lose the interschool genius quiz for fear of
looking like a geek.

Underdog first debuted on American television
in 1964 and follows the adventures of a mild-mannered dog named Shoeshine Boy,
who turns into Underdog to fight crime.
