Description
Creator Fred Seibert,[1] ordered thirteen full-length episodes for the show which is also known as Oh Yeah! Cartoons fourth season.
Unlike Oh Yeah!, there is no host. On January 10, 2007, ASIFA-Hollywood hosted an advance screening of six shorts as well as a question and answer session with the filmmakers at the Nicktoons Studios in Burbank, California. Three of the shorts were selected to become television series and one of the shorts was selected to become a web series. Those shorts were Adventure Time, Boneheads, Bravest Warriors, and Fanboy. Adventure Time began airing on April 5th, 2010 on Cartoon Network. Boneheads was selected to be a Disney Channel Original Series set to premiere on April 6th, 2013 on Disney Channel. Bravest Warriors began airing on November 8th, 2012 on Cartoon Hangover's YouTube channel. Fanboy, under the name Fanboy and Chum Chum, began airing on November 7th, 2009 on Nickelodeon.
Despite not being picked up by any networks yet as of 2013, the shorts "Teapot", "Kyle + Rosemary", "Mind the Kitty" and "Hero Heights" have grown successful through the internet by being spun-off to different merchandises such as video games, artwork, fans, websites and online games.
