Nicktoons Global Premieres 'The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj'

Nicktoons Global today (December 27) premiered Nickelodeon International's brand new animated series The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj, including on Nicktoons Germany (Deutschland), where the series airs weekdays mornings at 3:30 Uhr and 3:55 Uhr (3:35 Uhr and 4:00 Uhr from Jan. 29)! The series is locally titled Die verzwickten Zeitreisen von Sammy and Raj in Germany.


With a mysterious time-altering app at their fingertips, Twisted Timeline of Sammy and Raj follows the reality-bending adventures of a pair of cousin-brothers, as they pause, rewind, fast-forward and slow-motion their way into a whole host of rowdy laugh-out-loud exploits.

Nickelodeon International teamed up with Nickelodeon India, a part of Viacom18 that is a joint venture between Paramount Global (formally ViacomCBS) and Network18, to co-produce The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj. The new series marks the first collaboration between the top kids’ entertainment brand and the leading Indian kids’ category brand from India’s fastest growing entertainment network.

The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj was commissioned in September 2020, with animation and storyboards for the new 20 x 30-minute 2D animated series being developed in India, scripting in the U.S. and U.K., and casting being initiated in the U.S.


Chris Rose, VP, Animation, Nickelodeon International and Anu Sikka, Head Creative, Content & Research, Kids TV Network at Viacom18 are overseeing the project. The head writer of the series is Jordan Gershowitz.

“The popularity of international content is on the rise, and Nickelodeon is focused on meeting the rising demand for diverse, creative stories for a global audience. This groundbreaking partnership with Viacom18 goes beyond kids’ content, as we look to embrace greater diversity both on-screen and behind the camera,” said Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President, Kids & Family, ViacomCBS Networks International.

In Nickelodeon's original announcement for the show, Nina Hahn, the former Senior Vice President of International Production & Development at Nickelodeon International, stated: “In the creative world, geographic borders have diminished, as more content is drawn by the hands of global artists from every corner of the world. The idea for this series was developed in collaboration with the team in India as we sought a way to fuse western and eastern story telling elements. Indian culture is very much a part of this series’ DNA, and we are eager to share those elements with our global audience.”


Nina Elavia Jaipuria, Head of Hindi Mass Entertainment & Kids TV Network at Viacom18 said: “Over the years, Nickelodeon India has created successful local IPs and characters that kids love. This partnership with Nickelodeon International has gone beyond the border lines of creativity and stands testimony to the success of Nick India and Nick International in creating groundbreaking content. It further reinforces the capability of the Indian Animation Industry. We are happy to partner with Nickelodeon International for this show and look forward to working together in creating this series for kids across the world.”

Anu Sikka, Head Creative, Content & Research, Kids TV Network at Viacom18 said: “Kids imaginations and aspirations are universal and it’s this learning that has brought this show to life. The series will be showcasing stories that kids around the world will find relatable and engaging, hopefully opening up more opportunities for future collaboration. Our efforts are to make sure that kids get to experience the best of animation and that this show will stir their imagination and transport them into a new world of adventure.”

Developed by Emmy(R) Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman ("Trollhunters" and "Ninjago"), the CG-animated series STAR TREK: PRODIGY is the first "Star Trek" series aimed at younger audiences, and follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered - a first in the history of the "Star Trek" franchise - but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.

In the remaining STAR TREK: PRODIGY season one episodes, as the hopeful crew makes their way toward Starfleet, their dreams are threatened when they discover the U.S.S. Protostar harbors a weapon designed to tear the United Federation of Planets apart. To make matters worse, the U.S.S. Dauntless is on a manhunt for the Protostar as the real Vice Admiral Janeway is eager to uncover what happened to her missing former First Officer Chakotay. With these two ships on a collision course and destruction on the horizon, the fate of the Alpha Quadrant hangs in the balance. New episodes stream Thursdays on Paramount+.

The series has been renewed for a second season, which is slated to premiere in 2023.

'Blue's Clues' Host Steve Burns Reunites With Make-A-Wish Patient 22 Years Later

Earlier this month, Former Blue's Clues star Steve Burns had a touching reunion with someone he'd helped when they were a child, and social media is in awe of the story. Brandon Ragland shared his story on social media and with reporters from TMZ, explaining how he had met Burns over 20 years ago through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This month, Ragland was able to thank Burns as an adult and share his story of triumph.


Ragland reportedly met Burns when he was 4 years old in an encounter set up through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. At the time, Ragland was suffering from stage 4 cancer in his kidneys and lungs, and Burns agreed to meet him and his family for dinner in New York City as well as a live stage show and a toy store shopping spree. Thankfully, Ragland recovered from his illnesses and grew up healthy, and he was able to surprise Burns with that joyous news on Dec. 11 at Steel City Con in Pennsylvania.


Ragland reportedly approached Burns' booth at the convention with a stroller carrying his own healthy baby. Ragland pulled out a photo from his childhood meeting with Burns and asked if he remembered the encounter. Burns reportedly had a flash of insight, saying: "I remember this! And you!"

The reunion quickly turned tearful for both Ragland and Burns, as they posed for a new photo together against all odds. Ragland said that Burns was ecstatic to learn that Ragland now has a family of his own. As they parted, he said: "This made my entire year and I'm so glad you're here."

Burns and Ragland have since interacted on social media and seem to be keeping up with each other that way. Ragland said that he has been in remission for 23 years now, and he is still thankful for the generosity he was shown as a child.

Burns was the first host of Blue's Clues from 1996 to 2002. The iconic Nickelodeon cartoon made him a lifelong icon to many viewers around Ragland's age, even after he left the show. Burns remained active in the show behind the scenes, and has even reprised his role in the reboot, Blue's Clues & You!. He has also been active on social media and at conventions, chatting with fans about his work. Burns is also a musician and a filmmaker in other genres as well.

Kel Mitchell Talks Reunion With Kenan Thompson on 'SNL', Gives Update on 'Good Burger 2'

Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson were one of the top comedy acts in the 1990s, starring in the Nickelodeon shows All That and Kenan & Kel. And while both have gone their separate ways over the years, the two have been working together recently, which has fans fired up. In an interview with PopCulture.com, Mitchell talked about reuniting with Thompson on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live.

Saturday Night Live

"Super amazing," Mitchell told PopCulture. "Me and Kenan were just talking about it again how quickly it went. And he called me up and he was like, 'Keke [Palmer] did this, has this amazing idea for a sketch and it's a dark take on a reboot, a Jordan Peele type of feel.' And I was like, 'Yo, this is great.' When I read it, it was super funny. Keke killed it as host of SNL and did it all while being pregnant, which is a super awesome shout-out to her. And I love working with my brother. Me and Kenan always have fun. We've been surprising everyone this year. We love surprising our fans. So yeah, it was great. It was a great time."


Mitchell and Thompson were on All That from 1994-1999. In 1996 the two launched Kenan & Kel, and the show lasted until 2000. Thompson has been a regular on SNL since 2003, making him the longest-tenured cast member in the show's history. Mitchell auditioned for SNL in 2003 but didn't make the cut. However, Mitchell has appeared in multiple movies and TV shows over the years, including the animated series The Proud Family, and Clifford the Big Red Dog where he was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards.  

Along with the work Mitchell and Thompson did on TV, the pair got together to do a movie called Good Burger, which is based on the comedy sketch of the same name on All That. Mitchell and Thompson are now working on Good Burger 2, and Mitchell shared an encouraging update on the potential movie. 

"It's moving forward. It was important to us that the story is good," Mitchell said. "We know that we have fans that really hold Good Burger 1 dear to their hearts, and so we wanted to make sure that we didn't mess it up by doing part two. So the script is in good shape and that's why we decided to have the table read. It's really, really good. It's moving forward. It's definitely happening. So I'm excited about it."
