Production notes

Two brothers, Brunswick and Soup, are asked by their insane tycoon uncle, Mantis Cornchunder, to create a television show.

Made in Peterborough, Ontario, this TV series had limited exposure despite its boastful title. It aired on local station CHEX-TV, as well as on the city's Cogeco Cable service.

The show was made of live-action sketches within a cartoon storyline. It featured such Canadian icons as Joe Flaherty ("SCTV," "Happy Gilmore") and Rex Murphy (CBC Radio's "Cross Country Checkup").

Six episodes were produced in association with Cogeco 10.
