Status: Lost
TooMuchTV is a British animated comedy TV series that aired on Channel 5's The Core (which would later be known as Shake!) from March to June of 2000. The show ran for 13 episodes and aired every Sunday from March 5th to June 4th (with the exception of April 16th). The show has since become lost.[1]
The show was about 4 characters, a small man named Ginger Whinger, a weather lady named Kathy Ray, a news reporter named Jack Dash and a funny robot named Roboboy, who live in a space station known as the TooMuchTV SpaceStation. In each 30-minute episode, they explore topics such as video games, music, movies and tech.[2]
The series was CGI-animated, written and produced by Impossible Television and featured British comedian Inkey Jones as the lead role in the show. Interestingly, the show was once nominated for a BAFTA in the Children's category before losing to SMTV: Live.[3][4]
It is worth noting that the animation was similar to other lost shows like Motel and Secrets with Ginger Forrest.[5][6]
