Yam Roll Premieres on CBC

If you thought ‘Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends’ had a long title - sharpen your pencils. After much anticipation, we have a new champion - ‘The Very Good Adventures of Yam Roll in Happy Kingdom.’ This new Flash-animated show from March Entertainment premieres tonight on Canada’s CBC at 4:30pm ET. ‘Yam Roll,’ which follows the adventures of yup, a western-loving, cab-driving Yam Roll, won the Maple Shorts competition last summer, and only 7 months later, the series has arrived. Jon Izen and Jono Howard have created a very unique show, and I look forward to seeing all 39 11-minute episodes down here in the States. Are you listening Nickelodeon? Cartoon Network? Anyone? Let’s just get the paperwork done and get on with it. We’re hungry for ‘Yam Roll,’ dammit!

If you’re not in the CBC broadcast zone, you can still watch the short that inspired it all over at the Maple Shorts site. And the ‘Yam Roll’ website is full of interesting character descriptions and show info.

****** UPDATE * UPDATE * UPDATE *******

I found a new ‘Yam Roll’ website at CBC.ca. There’s a clip there from the new series. Check it out!
