This just in from Big Idea… (what follows is a press release)…
All-new Penguins! episodes to air on NBC, ION and Telemundo
At long last, Big Idea’s beloved flock of flightless fowl is back with all-new episodes airing on NBC’s Qubo Saturday morning block and on the ION and Telemundo networks.
After debuting last fall on NBC, the 3-2-1 Penguins! series garnered high ratings capturing the #1 spot on the kid-dominated Saturday morning television time-slot.
As a result, Big Idea’s crack-squad of Penguin-herders led by Tim Hodge (Director, Gideon: Tuba Warrior, LarryBoy and the Bad Apple, Minnesota Cuke, Duke and the Great Pie War, An Easter Carol, Star of Christmas …) is currently in production on 20 new episodes which will begin airing Friday, October 5th on the ION Network, and Saturday, October 6th on NBC and Telemundo.
The season premiere episode, entitled “I Scream, You Scream,” teaches a lesson in jumping to conclusions. Zidgel, Midgel, Fidgel and Kevin (Jason and Michelle too!) are back in action in a hilarious new world filled with faith, fun and flightless birds! Will the Kids and Penguin Crew learn to set aside their accusations and work together again, just in time to stop Cavitus’ hi-jacking of the ice cream delivery ship at the Comet Lounge? Find out this weekend!
Fear not, DVD lovers — you need not rely on network television to see this larger-than-life “gaggle” of Penguins! Big Idea is scheduled to release these new episodes on DVD beginning in 2008.
