Nickelodeon USA Pre-Releases First Episode Of 'Rusty Rivets' Season 2, "Comet Adventure"

To celebrate Nickelodeon USA starting to premiere the second season of Rusty Rivets very soon, Nickelodeon has digitally premiered the second season premiere episode of the networks popular CG-animated preschool series, "Comet Adventure", on NickJr.com and the Nick Jr. App!


There's always a big adventure in Nickelodeon's hit animated preschool series, Rusty Rivets. Created and produced by Spin Master Entertainment (PAW Patrol), the show follows Rusty, a 21st century kid hero who always saves the day by relying on his imagination and incredible resourcefulness. Inspired by the DIY culture of the maker movement, Rusty Rivets helps preschoolers gain confidence and fuel their creativity with a strong focus on inventing, creating and problem solving.

In Rusty Rivets, 10-year-old Rusty, along with his best bud Ruby, invents his way out of every jam by repurposing spare parts and found objects into the wildest, coolest, most awesome contraptions ever. The series encourages kids to use their imaginations to design and create fun new gadgets and inventions.


In the season two premiere of Rusty Rivets, "Comet Adventure" (#201), Ruby wants to see a comet fly by, and Rusty will do everything in his power to make sure his friend's wish comes true! (When the episode premieres, it will be coupled with "Rusty's Messy Mishap").

Rusty Rivets, which was launched in Nickelodeon North America in November 2016, has been rating consistently in the #2 spot among boys 2 to 5. The series recently completed its first season (26 episodes) on Nick USA on Friday 15th December 2017, with its second season expected to debut on Nickelodeon USA during early 2018.

After a very limited toy launch in North America in 2017, Spin Master will broadly expand the availability of its Rusty Rivets toy line in North America in 2018. The second season of Rusty Rivets will be tightly integrated with the toy line.

Libby, MT: MontanaSky To Drop Viacom Channels On Wednesday 20th December 2017

Citing a price increase in Viacom’s contract renewal, MontanaSky, a cable & satellite company in Libby, Montana has unfortunately announced that they will stop carrying Viacom programming effective Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2017.


“Viacom’s contract renewal demands would have forced MontanaSky to double our current pay television rates over the course of the next five years, a move we found to be unacceptable,” a news release states.

MontanaSky said it plans to add "new and updated" channels "without a rate increase" in 2018, according to the news release. These will include “direct feeds from local networks, FOX Business, GRIT TV, The Cowboy Channel, Universal Kids, Sportsman, Comedy.tv, GAC, Revolt, INSP, IFC, REELZ, Cooking.tv, ION, Boomerang, Outside.tv, Pets TV, Hallmark Drama, Cars TV and the Olympic Channel.”

The channels that will no longer be available include Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, TeenNick, Nick Jr., BET, MTV, MTV Hits, MTV2, VH1, VH1 Classic Soul, TV Land, Spike TV (to be rebranded as Paramount Network), Comedy Central, CMT and CMT Pure Country.

“Most of those networks are still available through online services such as Hulu, Amazon, iTunes and Netflix, which are all accessible through a MontanaSky internet connection,” the news release states. “Most of Viacom’s programming may also be accessed directly from the individual television channel websites.”

Anyone with any questions or comments regarding these changes should feel free to contact their local MontanaSky office, or call MontanaSky at 406-293-4335.

Pinky Malinky: Could JJ Jameson Have Two Dads?

To celebrate National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, which took place on Friday 15th December 2017, Nickelodeon Animation background painter Jocelyn Liang unveiled a fantastic set of pictures showing how Pinky Malinky star JJ Jameson celebrated the day! Although each of the images are awesome, one picture in particular features a very interesting detail about JJ: he is drinking from a mug saying he 'Hearts My Dads'! Could this mean that JJ will have two dads on the show?!


Although it's not confirmed that JJ's parents will be a same-sex couple, it would certainly fit into Nickelodeon's commitment to inclusiveness, featuring diverse characters in the networks shows. Pinky Malinky would follow in the footsteps of Nickelodeon's hit animated series The Loud House, which features a same-sex married couple and a bi-sexual main character, The Legend of Korra, whose lead character was gay, and Glitch Techs, which will feature a multiethnic cast.

Check out Jocelyn's fantastic art below, and be sure to tune into Pinky Malinky when it premieres in 2018!

Play it safe or just go wild
Everybody rock your style, STYLE!

Tease your hair, wear it blue
Do whatever makes you, you
Just do it best if it makes you smile
Everybody rock your style, STYLE!

Everybody’s got one!
Everybody’s got one!
