Joe Brumn Fakes His Death - New Bluey Miniseries Ordered, To Premiere on ABC Kids AUS/NZ and Disney Channel Globally This Summer

You thought Bluey was dead? Think again. Joe Brumn has been a stupid idiot lying and making false advertisements to his own audience down under. Just because Bley is cancelled after "The Sign/Surprise" episode that was released in April, doesn't mean that the franchise is immediately killed.

The Walt Disney Company, ABC Australia and BBC Studios have ordered a new interstital series based on the Australian-based Peppa Pig bootleg, set to release across Australia in June and the USA in July. The all-new 20-episode x 3-minute mini-series follows more adventures of these crappy dogs as they ended up selling off their house and moving to a different country. The new minisodes will also focus on the family's new kids and Bluey and Bingo reaching adulthood and exploring their dream house.

Despite the new minisodes, the show is still cancelled with no plans to return for a fourth season. At the end of last year, the Bluey staff said that they were going on a break, but it looks like the main series is officially over. Bluey has died from full episodes and has no plan to return anytime soon.

May Mayhem - Nick Jr. Unveils New Podcast Slate For Next Week

 Following the heels of the successful new Dora reboot and lack of audio podcasts for preschool children, Nickelodeon has fixed the problem with the greenlight of three all-new audio podcast series, plus the renewal of an old favorite!

First up on Monday, May 13th is Dora the Explorer: Recipe for Adventure (Season 1, 10 episodes), based on the recently launched Paramount+ recent reboot series based on the hit global franchise that was released last month. In this series, Kathleen Herles and Diana Zermeno invite your youngster to help them cook all sorts of tasty and deliciosi Mexican dishes.

Next on Tuesday, May 14th is the highly anticipated second season of Blue's Clues & You! Storytime with Josh & Blue (Season 2, 14 episodes), the second season of the award-winning podcast that launched back in August 2020. This iconic series hosted by Joshua Dela Cruz and Traci Paige Johnson helps young children snuggle down to their bedtime at night.

Then on Wednesday, May 15th is the launch of Nick Jr. Goodnight Bedime Stories (Season 1, 20 episodes) which follows the adventures of the Nick Jr channel's greatest cash cow franchises as they go on marvelous new adventures to help kids snuggle down to bedtime. This series follows the adventures of Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, PAW Patrol and Blaze and the Monster Machines.

And finally on Thursday, May 16th, this date will see the release of the new original Blue's Clues franchise podcast series Blue's Clues & You! Let's Guesss Who with Josh & Blue (Season 1, 10 episodes) which follows Josh and Blue as they make up another one of their cheesy game show bootlegs to help children develop deductive reasoning skills to guess the identity of the show's famous characters.

It's currently unknown if these podcasts will be audio-only or have animated videos as well, despite the fact of animated footage appearing in the sizzle reel trailer released earlier this week.

The new additions join other favorite Nickelodeon preschool podcast series including Blue's CLues & You! Storytime with Josh and Blue and Noggin animated podcast series Alphabeats starring SiriusXM Kids Place Live radio station icon and GRAMMY¢-nominated children's music duo THe Pop Ups.

Animation Rehydrated - Warner Bros. Discovery Celebrates 100th Anniversary with Launch of NEW 24/7 Retro TV Channel MeTV Toons, Launching Tuesdfay, June 25th

 Since August 4th, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery among other children's TV outlets have been making idiots out of themselves illegally removing titles from their own streaming services that the companies themselves own the rights to, as well as making tax write-offs and cancelling in-development projects for stupid reasons and trying to make unneccessary lost media out of some of their latest releases. But now, after two years of being lazy, David Zaslav has been fired and justice for the Warner Bros. catalog of animated classics has been served.

To cap off an eventful 100th centennial anniversary alongside their pals at their fellow contenders ratings rivals at The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. and Discovery Communications have joined forces with MeTV owner Weigel Broadcasting Corporation to make an all-new 24/7 retro channel that reunites all the best faces across Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbara and Cartoon Network alike.

The all-new channel dubbed MeTV Toons, is slated to hit linear and streaming airwaves acrossd the nation on Tuesday June 25th, 2024. The new channel is basically a carbon copy and modern-day version of the existing WB/CN sister channel Boomerang, which also includes modern-day reruns of all the great classic WB titles and some forgotten gems from the 1930s and beyond.

At launch, MeTV Toons will have the following titles available:
Betty Boop
Bugs Bunny & Friends
Casper the Friendly Ghost
Freakazoid
The Flinstones
Huckleberry Hound
Inspector Gadget
The Jetsons
Johnny Quest
Josie and the Pussycats
Looney Tunes
Magilla Gorilla
Popeye the Sailor Man
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Scooby Doo, Where Are You?!
Secret Squirrels
The Smurfs
Spped Racer
Tom & Jerry
Top Cat
Touche Turtle
Wacky Races
Woody Woodpecker
Yogi Bear

Although the library on the new network currently consists of only titles of cartoons owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and aired on either Disney Channel, Disney XD, Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, Boomerang, The CW, Adult Swim or their predecessors The WB, Kids' WB, Toon Disney, Jetix, UPN and Fox Kids, both sides are currently in talks to license other retro animated TV series from their lineup, including several titles from Disney's former exotic lions and Chinese zodiac partners at MGM, the company behind the Broadway staples The Wizard of Oz and Singing in the Rain, the former in which will enter the public domain in a few years time.

MeTV Toons is the latest offering of retro television for today's general audiences, following on the heels of the recently launched PBS Retro on Roku, the SVOD revivalof Noggin which will be shutting down on Tuesday July 2nd and the formerly broadcasted Vault Disney/Disney Replay and NickRewind blocks aired across Disney Channel and TeenNick respectively.

Nickelodeon To Shut Down Noggin Streaming App On Tuesday July 2nd

After 25 years on the air, Nickelodeon has once again had history stupidly repeating itself. The 2015 streaming app revival of its former Noggin preschool TV channel that ran from 1999-2012 is set to be shut down on Tuesday, July 2nd. All existing Noggin content including interactive games, play-along episodes, eBooks and the Nogginville Roblox/Minecraft game will be intergrated and migrated into Paramount+ under its new "Paramount+ with Noggin/Nick Jr." tier banners on Wednesday, July 3rd.

All active Noggin subscriptions will cease broadcasting transmission at the end of the month after the three-day Memorial Day weekend on Friday, May 31st and will no longer be billed. All active Noggin subscriptions and streaming app transmitters will be switched off permanently on July 2nd.

From the entire Nick Jr. and Noggin team past and present, we hold our eternal gratitude for everyone who have supported this great second-rate Nickelodeon preschool TV and SVOD network over the last 25 years. From the Nogginville residence, thank you and goodbye.

Bad Franchise = Good Reboot - Nickelodeon To Bow The Fairly OddParents' Third Generation on May 20th

 After ten years of being lazy and using unneccessary new characters like Poof, Sparky and Chloe that nobody cares about, Nickelodeon is finally giving revenge justice to one of, if not the worst children's television franchise ever made. Nickelodeon is set to premiere the twelfth season of The Fairly OddParents! on Monday, May 20th at 4:30pm/3:30c

The new sequel series - dubbed FOP: A New Wish, this time sees those lazy children Timmy Turner and his stupid sister Chloe getting killed and replaced by a new owner, a 10-year-old daughter named Hazel who must learn how to cope with the continuous suffering and decline of Cosmo and Wanda (who are voiced once again by Daran Norris and Suzanne Blakeside respectfully) as she has them granting more rehashed dream wishes than you can shake a Crocker at.

This isn't the first, nor the last time that Cosmo and Wanda have been resurfaced from the graveyard of the Nicktoons sister channel. In 2022, Nick and Paramount+ made a decent one-hit-wonder live-action version dubbed FOP: Fairly Odder which was unfortunately cancelled in February 2023 and the first of the illegal Paramount+ streaming service renewals, despite a second season being in production and winning the Best Live-Action Kids & Family TV Show category at last year's annual Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards, with this year's ceremony set for a July 13th release.

The Fairly OddParents!: A New Wish is the latest addition to Nickelodeon's growing lineup of reboots and revivals, supercharging its nostalgia franchises for 2024 and beyond, with this year's reboot offerings also including Dora the Explorer: Say Hola to Adventures! that premiered last month and the upcoming new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series Tales of the TMNT set to release on Friday, June 21st, kicking off the summer offerings across both Paramount linear and streaming channels.

Other new kids series set for release this summer include Channel 5 Milkshake UK's Milo set to make its USA debut on PBS Kids' website and Video app on May 13th, a reboot of the 2007 Disney Channel classic Phineas and Ferb, and three new original Disney series Primos, Ariel The Little Mermaid and ZOMBIES: The Reanimated Series due to release on June 26th and 28th respectively.

Other hot releases for this summer include new movies Big City Greens: Spacecation on June 6th, Descendants IV: The Rise of Red on July 12th and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 4: Sandy Cheeks Saving Bikini Bottom to be released on August 2nd.
