In what’s either a sign of the network’s continuing tween-focused savvy or the onset of a language-mangling aphasia, Nickelodeon has announced that it’s giving a 20-episode order to Pinky Malinky, a new mockumentary cartoon about a talking hot dog’s high school experience. Stemming from the pen of animator Chris Garbutt—who originally developed the character for a Cartoon Network short back in 2009—the show follows a young boy who finds himself transformed into a CGI sausage on the first day of high school, and who maintains a screechy-voiced, parent-deafening optimism through the frequent use of reality TV-inspired confessional cams.
