Kids Click leads off its weekday lineup with Finland's Angry Birds Toons (check listings), which capitalizes on the popularity of the Angry Birds products which have been out for a while now.
The animated series launched in 2013, and Sony owns the video rights here in the US. The CGI effects are, sorry to say, the best thing about the show, since the characters don't actually talk, but make odd, almost gutteral sounds as a form of communication. Not good for the target audience, let me tell you.
Here at home, you'd need your DVR's to record the show, since in the Albany market, it airs at 5 am (ET), a rather unholy time to start a children's block, don't you think? (It's necessary because the CW affiliate will have news from 6:30-8)
In "Bake On", from last year, we won't see the birds, but rather their arch-rivals, the pigs. Seems the king has a certain preference for baked goods.....
How do you write with no hands? Telekinesis? One more reason the target audience would end up confused.
Rating: C-.

Sounds more like an Oggy & The Cockroaches to me! Of course there's been plenty of vocal-less cartoons out there.

Which is a little sad when every station feels it has to have news at all during that time.
But this is the sort of thing that explains why they invented DVR's.
