Is this a new series, or a pick up of a foreign show that I haven't heard of?

My guess is that it will air on DAS. It's pretty good to keep all the crap in one place.

Is this a new series, or a pick up of a foreign show that I haven't heard of?

It originally aired on KidsWB a couple years ago and caught on internationally. Also, it's not a full-length show, just a set of wraparounds and bumpers that air as "one episode".

It seems that they like thumbs. Frankenstein thumbs. Star Wars thumbs. Wrestling thumbs.

Okay...so this series (it's not really a series, it's more like a collection of shorts) has aired on Nicktoons Network, Toon Disney and Kids' WB. Talk about being recycled.

What's with Cartoon Network and their thumb fetish?

Their thumb fetish isn't as bad as their Star Wars fetish. The website still has the promotional layout!

Ok...

Just when CN was getting good when they had Secret Saturdays and Underfist, they have to lose major points but signing up for this kind of junk...:shrug:

They're playing Frankenthumb? That's not appropriate for children... at least comparitively to Thumbwars.

Yes...I already said so a few posts above yours.

9:30... TONIGHT... That means... one less airing of Johnny Test. SWEET.

Don't get me wrong, I like Test, but it being overplayed on CN, is well, Overplayed.

I don't know why they would pick this up.

Perhaps networks are just issued TWF every year or so, like those little sample packs of detergent that you sometimes get in the mail. :D

I think everyone agrees with you on that. Test is kind off disliked here and not because it's a bad show.

If that's the case, then I don't really mind this at all. Still not sure why CN picked it up, though. Was it that popular?

Apparently, it has a bit of a cult following. :sweat:

Will they air inbetween commercial breaks, or will TWF be expanded into a full series?

Just between commercial breaks. Who knows, they might use this to replace DAS, since it's practically like a block's bumpers.

In Cartoon Network Australia, it airs as one half-hour show, so Cartoon Network USA could do the same.

Yeah, but they also aired it as the original set of bumpers. Airing it in one 30-minute block would seem awkward.
