Status: Partially Found

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. The UK version was re-ran after midnight on the main channel and in the middle of day on Cartoon Network Too. The second channel re-ran the show until the channel closed in 2014 and the main channel stopped airing the show later that same year.

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[1]

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 quiz block 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. They also mistakenly used a screenshot of the UK version for the episode Quiziatori Gladihost on the Starz streaming service[2]
