Following announcing that his upcoming brand-new Nickelodeon animated series "Bad Seeds" will now be called "Harvey Beaks", cartoonist C.H. Greenblatt has hinted in a reply to a fans question on his official Tumblr blog, Nerd Armada, that Nickelodeon USA could be planning to premiere and show "Harvey Beaks" within the next few months, and that Nickelodeon is planning a big promotional campaign for their all-new show!:
Q:I love looking at your drawings. Is bad seeds premiering soon ?
Thanks! Expect it (hopefully) in a few months. There should be lots of noise before it comes out so no one should miss it!

"Harvey Beaks" follows Harvey, a sweet and well-meaning bird, who makes two new best friends, Fee and Foo, the wildest imps in the forest. Although their friendship seems unlikely, their connection only grows as they push each other out of their comfort zones and into endless adventures. The show is created, written and directed by C.H. Greenblatt ("SpongeBob SquarePants", "Chowder"). Nickelodeon picked up the series for 26 episodes in September 2013.
