Fanboy & Chum Chum

Fanboy & Chum Chum is an American animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on Fanboy, an animated short created by Robles for Nickelodeon Animation Studio and Frederator Studios, that was broadcast on Random! Cartoons. The series was first broadcast on October 12, 2009, on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered after SpongeBob's Truth or Square. The series centers around Fanboy and Chum Chum, a pair of cheerful, playful, energetic, and fun-loving best friends enthusiastically obsessed with superhero comics, particularly those featuring their favorite superhero Man-Arctica. Their world is full of comic adventure, from an accidental case of Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster running the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine.

The series' initial release on Nickelodeon finished on November 2, 2012. One episode, "Brain Freeze", was released on DVD in 2011 instead of being broadcast on television.

The theme song was written by Brad Joseph Breeck and performed by an experimental punk band, The Mae Shi.
