TORONTO, March 24 /CNW/ - Canada's favourite pair of 'hosers', the
McKenzie brothers, return to primetime on Global in an all-new half-hour
animated comedy series, Bob & Doug.
Premiering Sunday, April 19th - 7:30pm ET/PT, the 22-episode
Original
Series, starring SCTV alum Dave Thomas ("Grace Under Fire") and comedian Dave
Coulier ("Full House"), will join Global's highly successful Sunday night
line-up alongside such animated favourites as "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons".
"Bob & Doug builds on the hilarity of the Canadian cult classic
while
offering viewers a fresh animated look at these beloved characters," said
Christine Shipton, SVP, Drama and Factual Content, Canwest Broadcasting. "It
is an outstanding addition to our strong and unique original slate."
Driven with character stereotypes reminiscent of the celebrated film
"Great White North", the series is centered around the fictional Canadian town
of Maple Lake, Bob and Doug's lives as garbage men and their gang of friends
who often gather at the 'Skate 'n Bowl'.
"As a project close to my own heart, the return of Bob & Doug has
been an
incredibly exciting process, one that couldn't have been made possible were it
not for Canwest and their unwavering support," said series creator and star,
Dave Thomas.
The series features the voices of notable Canadian comedy stars
including
Jayne Eastwood, Pat McKenna, Derek McGrath, Ron Pardo, Neil Crone, Stacey De
Pass, Tracey Hoyt, Julie Lemieux and Ho Chow.
Full episodes will be available via video on demand and online at
GlobalTV.com. Plus, fans can also log onto the site for a sneak peek at the
virtual town of Bob & Doug and get acquainted with the colourful cast of
characters in the show.
Executive produced by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis with Patricia
Burns as
Producer and Jonah Stroh as Line Producer.
