Adult Swim Canada Starts to Air 'Pelswick' - With a 14+ Age Rating

Nick News Brief: Adult Swim Canada, the Canadian version of Cartoon Network's hit older-skewing late-night block, has started to air Pelswick, Nickelodeon's popular animated series which originally ran in the U.S. between 2000-2004. The fact that Adult Swim is airing a cartoon that once aired on Nick isn't too strange in itself, as Nickelodeon Germany, Austria and Switzerland once aired CN's Adventure Time and The Amazing World of Gumball. However, what is strange is the age rating Adult Swim has given it: During it's original run on Nick, the show had TV-Y and TV-Y7 age ratings, meaning it was suitable for most audiences. However, Adult Swim has re-rated it with a 14+ rating, plus given it a mature subject matter disclaimer card.

You've seen live-action on Cartoon Network now see kids shows on Adult Swim (Canada). They recently added the kids' series Pelswick to their lineup.

And for some reason the series is re-rated 14+ with a mature subject matter disclaimer card. pic.twitter.com/j0XHeGbcTh

The Splat To Air "Pelswick" On Saturday 1st October 2016 | Nickelodeon Animation 25

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to a very last minute schedule change, The Splat won't be airing Pelswick at this moment in time. :(

Zap2it TV Listings is reporting the exciting news that The Splat, Nickelodeon's destination for the most loved Nick content from the 1990s and beyond, will be airing two episodes of the noughties animated series Pelswick on Saturday 1st October 2016, as part of Nickelodeon's 25 Years of Animation celebration!

UPDATE: Following the debut of Pelswick, The Splat will air two more Pelswick episodes on Sunday 2nd October 2016 from 11pm/4am ET/PT!

Pelswick follows Pelswick Eggert, an ordinary, smart, good-natured 13-year-old, but unlike any of his friends, he's got a cool set of wheels! Pelswick is 'permanently seated' as he likes to call it...in a wheelchair. But don't think that Pelswick takes life sitting down, he's up with the best (and worst) of them, 'locked' up for six hours a day at Alcatraz Jr. High school.

Like any other kid, Pelswick is dealing with typical teenage traumas but he always remains his own dude, refusing to surf the wave of popular culture. To his best friends, Ace & Goon, Pelswick is a fearless leader (usually leading them straight into mischief). Julie, who Pelswick has a secret crush on, thinks he's a great friend, and when it comes to dealing with the school bully, Boyd, Pelswick's rolling with the punches - literally.

Unlike other kids, Pelswick also has Mr. Jimmy, his long-bearded, all knowing Guardian Angel. Able to tell the future, Mr Jimmy always has some cryptic advice on hand to help Pelswick out.

In "I Won't Run, Don't Ask Me", airing at 11:00pm ET/PT, unable to threaten Pelswick physically, Boyd decides to humiliate him on a whole different level—by nominating him for school president.

Then, in "Brain Suckers of Skuldeth 5", airing at 11:30pm ET/PT, Ace and Goon lure Pelswick into participating in the latest craze, the Brain Suckers trading card game. Soon Pelswick is totally hooked—and Boyd has the one ultra-rare card Pelswick would do anything to get.

Sunday 2nd October 2016:

11pm - Me, Myself and Irate: Pelswick gets revenge on Boyd during Grandparent Appreciation Week.

11:30pm - Draw!: Pelswick's joy at having his controversial cartoon published in the school paper is diminished when the publication is banned.



Following each episodes' initial airing, The Splat will encore both episodes from 4:00am ET/PT.

Pelswick is created by John Callahan, an acclaimed cartoonist, who was left paralyzed by a car accident at the age of 21. Although confined to a wheelchair, John's sense of humor has known no bounds. He adds his unique blend of razor- sharp whit, heart and real-life experience to this extraordinary cartoon series. Through Pelswick and his friends, kids can approach the topics surrounding disability in a comfortable way, and be reminded that physically challenged kids are still KIDS.

Pelswick is co-produced by Nelvana Limited and Suzhou Hong Ying Animation Corporation Limited in association with The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Nickelodeon Productions.

The series originally ran on Nickelodeon USA between October 5, 2000 – November 14, 2002. The series also aired on Nick on CBS.

Fans can find out more about the series on the official Pelswick website, Pelswick.com.

WAKE UP THE MASSES!: The Splat has hinted in a promo that they will also air KaBlam! and Action League Now soon!

Watch all your '90s Nickelodeon favorites on The Splat, your late-night destination for your favorite childhood Nickelodeon cartoons and live-action shows! The Splat doesn't question football-shaped heads, but embrace them - along with Reptar bars, a Big Ear of Corn, orange soda, and even slime for Pete (and Pete's) sake. Make your slime-covered Nickelodeon childhood dreams come true every night at 10pm ET/PT, only on TeenNick USA! #TheSplat!
