Episode synopsis
Princess Nebula, an air-headed medieval princess, makes her bid for fame as a contestant on Skatoony. But the simple act of discarding a snotty hanky has dire consequences...like causing TDI's Owen, a nervous, compulsive overeater, to go to town on the Quiz Block. Chudd retrieves the hanky for his used hanky collection, but the jealous knight Sir Rudolf challenges Chudd to a duel. Chudd must defeat the Knight in order to get the show back on track and crown this week's Skatoony champ.
About Skatoony
In Skatoony, animation meets live-action as real kids compete with toons in a quiz-style game show. Three young contestants and original animated characters compete in four trivia-based game rounds to win a spectacular prize. Each week Skatoony's cartoon host "Chudd Chudders" and his sidekick "The Earl" attempt to put together another spectacular show, despite all manner of mad happenings and greedy studio-exec Charles La Puck who seems to conspire against them. Skatoony Canada is a distinctly Canadian version of the innovative U.K. series, with all-Canadian creative talent, new characters, and trivia questions based on the Canadian educational curriculum. The high-energy world of Skatoony will capture the minds and imaginations of young people, motivating them to learn.
