Skatoony was a game show which aired on Cartoon Network from 2006 until 2008 in the UK and was later remade for American and Canadian audiences from 2010 until 2013.

Origins

The show originally started as a competition on the Cartoon Network UK website. It was later adapted for TV to become a few phone-in shows from 2001 until 2005. Some of these shows were Skatoony Truckatoony, Skatoony Quizmas and Ready Steady Skatoony

Plot

The show revolved around real children and animated characters competing to win prizes including a PSP, Wii, iPod Touch and DS. There were also side plots where either the studio would be invaded or the quizblock would move to different locations.

Differences

Certain characters were changed or replaced in the American version with certain contestants being replaced with characters from the Total Drama and Jimmy Two Shoes series. One of the most notable changes was that the boss of the UK version Tony Eagle Eyes was replaced with a completely different character named Charles La Puck. Most of the voice actors were also changed.

Availability

Unfortunately only four full episodes of the series were re-uploaded online however a lot of clips of the eliminations exist.
