Wayans brothers create kid show
From the Associated Press
Call it Charlie Brown with a twist.
Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, of “Scary Movie” and “In Living Color” fame, have created a series of animated children’s shows, with books and toys to follow. It’s name: “Thugaboo.”
The series of three specials will premiere on Nickelodeon, then air on the network’s all-animation channel, Nicktoons. The first program will air in August.
Inspired by the Wayans brothers’ favorite childhood cartoons, “Thugaboo” follows the misadventures of nine kids growing up in the inner city.
