The Saturday morning block will begin on September 9 on NBC, beginning at 10:00 a.m. EST followed by a 3-2-1 Penguins! or LarryBoy Adventures show at 11:00 a.m. Telemundo will carry the same blocks in Spanish beginning on September 9 at 8:00 a.m., while the i Network will air the blocks beginning on Friday, September 15 at 3:00 p.m. EST.


Big Idea has an amazing opportunity to bring "Sunday Morning Values, Saturday Morning Fun" to television and reach a huge audience which may have never heard of Bob, Larry, Silly-Songs or The Pirates who Don't do Anything. Along with the ever-adorable VeggieTales crew, 3-2-1 Penguins! and the LarryBoy Adventures 2-D series will also be featured in the Saturday morning and Friday afternoon time-block.

Wow, Prudence, you sounded just like a media announcement--ha ha!

I have a feeling the ratings for that show are going to be through the roof! :)

I think this is awesome! It's about time some of Saturday morning toons had some substance to them. Plus I think Veggie Tales is one of the funniest shows out there!

I liveblogged the first episode -- it wasn't classic Veggies, but it was much better than the "educational" Discovery Kids stuff that was on last year. I found out blogsurfing that Phil Vischer was very involved with the production, as well.
