After making a good impression at the San Diego Comic-Con earlier this summer, Nickelodeon’s new puppet series, Mr. Meaty, is set to debut on Sept. 22. at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Viewers can now get an early peek at the absurd comedy show by downloading a special preview in the iTunes Music Store.
Nickelodeon will air 20 episodes in the first season of Mr. Meaty, which takes place in a mall food court where teen odd couple Josh Redgrove and Parker Dinkelman geek out and concoct plans to escape the monotony of minimum wage. The show was developed from a series of shorts that appeared on the TurboNick broadband platform on Nick.com.
The Mr. Meaty episode ‘Buffalo Burrito’ is available on iTunes today, Sept. 19. In the installment, Josh can’t stand to be near Parker because of his smell. Oblivious, Parker thinks they’re simply growing apart and decides to strengthen their friendship by cramming himself and Josh into a buffalo costume to promote the latest Mr. Meaty menu item. But when Josh freaks out from the smell, they end up being tasered and crated off to the wild plains. The episode can be downloaded at www.itunes.com.
