Work Around Town 2020 - #5

Nickelodeon Animation Studios

Nick Animation began life in rented space in Studio City, way back in the early '90s. It's been headquartered in Burbank, California on Olive Avenue for decades now, and houses much of its staff in a refurbished one-story facility and glass-sheathed skyscraper that surround rectangle of open space that used to hold a miniature golf course (but that was years ago).

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- ongoing (two seasons to date)

Pinky Malinky -- wrapped (or close to ...) -- 60 episodes on Netflix

The Casagrandes -- ongoing -- second season

Glitch Techs -- ongoing (with hiccups) -- streaming Netflix

Kamp Koral -- ongoing Sponge Bob prequel

Adventures in Wonder Park -- ongoing -- Spinoff from the Paramount animated feature; season one premieres in June

Garfield -- ongoing development of the 2019 Jim Davis acquisition

Man of the House -- Norman Lear project announced in '18. Informants say it's ongoing, but?? ...

Middle School Moguls -- ongoing -- Season one wrapped

Big Nate -- ongoing (26 episodes)

Untitled CG Star Trek series -- in continuing development.

Star Trek: Lower Decks -- Seasons 1 & 2 -- Nick and CBS Eye Animation -- The adventures of junior Starfleet officers on the starship USS Cerritos.

Blue's Clues and You! -- ongoing -- Nickelodeon is adding "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and "Blue’s Clues & You!: Bedtime Stories" to its growing podcast playlist.

My usual spies and stoolies, currently hamstrung by the ongoing COVID lockdown, have done the best they cAN. But since everyone works at home, this list is what it is.

The trades have released a long roster of shows that have been cancelled and renewed on various networks and streaming sites; you will find various animated shows on it.

(Note: The list above should be for Nick shows with pre-production in Burbank, so product created elsewhere ("Butterbean's Cafe, etc.) should be found there. No doubt I've made mistakes along the way. As with the other lists, corrected as we go along.
