Breadwinners (cartoon comedy) 2014

Breadwinners (TV series)(Cartoon comedy)

I saw a commercial show and I was hooked.  They were really funny. They did a little song about being ducks. I think they even said some stuff about the delivering of bread and the rocket truck they use.  It's a pretty good show.  I'm going to watch more episodes and then see what I feel about it later.

One episode included a side story about their dirty dishes piling up.  The dishwasher refuses to wash the dishes and runs away.  The buddies turn to their pet frog.  If I remember correctly the frog solves the problem.  The two frogs vow not to let the dishes pile up again.


Part of the buddies way of dealing with the dishes was to play video games hoping that a solution would just happen.

Breadwinners is an American animated television series produced by Nickelodeon. The series was created by Gary DiRaffaele and Steve Borst, and centers upon two anthropomorphic ducks named SwaySway and Buhdeuce who run a bread delivery service.[1] In February 2013 Nickelodeon announced that they had ordered a 20 episode season based on the show's pilot episode.  A preview of the series, marketed as a "beak peek", aired on February 17, 2014.

The series began airing in its regular timeslot on February 22, 2014.


Plot


SwaySway and Buhdeuce are two carefree ducks who fly around in a rocket van delivering bread to their customers. The best friends live together on their home planet, Pondgea, and get into all sorts of adventures. SwaySway is the leader of the duo and even though he does not always use the best judgment, he is a pro when it comes to flying the van. Buhdeuce is a klutzy duck, but he is loyal to SwaySway and has plenty of heart. Together, the friends have fun all the time while flying around delivering bread.

Production


The show was conceived in a Studio City, Los Angeles efficiency apartment nicknamed the "Doodle Chamber".  It was originally a 4½-minute cartoon about two feisty, accident-prone ducks and was intended to be a one-off short film crafted to entertain fellow animators at a short-film festival held at a New York bar.  Series creator Gary DiRaffaele got an email from a Nickelodeon executive about the short film, which he had posted on YouTube: "I thought it was spam," DiRaffaele said. "I couldn't believe someone from Nickelodeon would contact me."  Within a couple of months, Nickelodeon hired DiRaffaele and co-creator Steve Borst to expand Breadwinners into a full-length television series.
