Weird-Ohs is an animated television series produced by Decode Entertainment, Mainframe Entertainment and EM.TV & Merchandising AG in association with the Testors Corporation. The show was originally aired in 1999 until 2000 on Fox Family (now Freeform) in the United States and YTV in Canada. Only 13 episodes of the series were produced.[1]
Synopsis
The show focused on deformed characters and their misadventures in Weirdsville, a place just off Route 66.[2] It was based on a popular toy line, and featured two anthro teenagers, Portia and Eddie, living in a world populated with talking cars.[3]
Production
The concept and characters were based on the Weird-Ohs series of polystyrene model kits by the Hawk Company. The characters in the model kits were popular in the early 1960s as satire on America's car culture.[4][5]
Honours
In 2000, the show was nominated for a Gemini award.
