Wonder Pets! is Back With Eartha Kitt

Posted by JeanneSager

Still bummed that Jack's Big Music Show strummed its last dulcimer with no hopes of Dr. String bringing it back? 

Sorry, can't help you there. But I still have good news!

The Wonder Pets! will save another day! Nickelodeon has approved a third season for Linny, Tuck and Ming Ming, set to kick off next month.

Beginning May 18 with an appearance by the late, great Earth Kitt as a cool cat signing smooth jazz, the first week of new shows will include a tribute to every animal teamwork has worked to save in the past. It's a special commemoration of the milestone "hundredth rescue," set to air Friday, May 22 at 10:30 a.m.

There's a reason this show has won a Daytime Emmy, folks. The hamster, turtle and little duck are the kind of team we want to cuddle . . . and then fill up with pieces of celery. Polite. Sweet. And cute enough our kids might one day convince us to get the real thing.

Try walking through a playground signing "the phone, the phone is ringing" and find a parent who doesn't chime in. They save us from some seriously bad TV.

Linny is a guinea pig, not a hamster. It is a super cute show for the kids, I'm glad they're making more episodes.

I really love this show. I'm so glad it is getting renewed. One of the few I actually like to watch. Also, my son used to never want to help with picking up his toys, etc. Now, all I have to do is say "teamwork", and he runs to help. Awesome.

I see Linny being referred to as something other than a guinea pig all the time. I thoguht it was really was really sad that even in one of Nick Jr.'s own promos, they referred to her as a "hamster."

"The Wonder Pets!" is neat and it's wonderful that Eartha got to voice a character on the show before she passed away. 100th rescue-- that's neat! I didn't realize that we were already that far along.
