ChalkZone

ChalkZone premiered in March 2002 on Nickelodeon. The animated comedy series aired for four seasons and 40 half-hour episodes.

ChalkZone began as a series of eight shorts on Nickelodeon’s Oh Yeah! Cartoons animation showcase series, debuting July 19, 1998. Two shorts aired during the first season in 1998 and six more during the second season in 1999. Nickelodeon aired a special stand-alone pilot on December 31, 1999, which featured two more shorts. Of the ten pre-series shorts, eight were repackaged into the first season of ChalkZone, with “ChalkDad” and “Chalk Rain” being the two that were left out.

Nick officially launched ChalkZone as its own show on March 22, 2002. It debuted as Nick’s highest rated series premiere at the time with kids 2-11 and had over 4 million total viewers. The first season consisted of six half-hours, which the network ran a tremendous amount throughout the year. A second season of eight episodes debuted in 2003. The third season consisted of 16 episodes, and the fourth and final season had 10 episodes. Starting with season three (at episode #015), the show received an updated intro. Starting with episode #020, the title cards changed from a chalkboard to custom designs for each episode.

As was the case with many shows, Nick’s interest in the series dwindled between 2004 and 2005. The final six episodes were held back and didn’t air until the summer of 2008 at 6:30 in the morning.

About The Show

Young Rudy appears like any other student at his elementary school, but he has a special gift. Rudy can draw portals with his magic chalk and use those portals to enter new worlds. The drawings that have been previously erased come to life as Rudy explores the ChalkZone. [via Gracenote]
