The Penguins of Madagascar
The Penguins of Madagascar is an American computer-animated series co-produced by DreamWorks and Nickelodeon, and executive-produced by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle. It was the first of three co-productions between DreamWorks and Nickelodeon (the later two being Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Monsters vs. Aliens).
The series stars the Penguins from DreamWorks' Madagascar film franchise. The pilot episode, "Gone in a Flash", aired as part of Superstuffed Nicktoons Weekend on November 28, 2008, alongside seven new episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. The series officially began regularly airing 4 months later on March 28, 2009 (following the premiere of that year's Kids' Choice Awards). Nickelodeon ordered 26 episodes for season 1, and ordered a second season of 26 episodes 2 months earlier in January 2009, bringing the total to 52. The series premiere drew 6,100,000 viewers, making it the network's most-watched series premiere to date.
The Penguins of Madagascar was officially stated to have ended production 5 years later in December 2014. Afterward, DreamWorks Animation produced two more Madagascar television shows, both of them prequels to the original films - All Hail King Julien (which had Schooley and McCorkle serving as executive consultants) and Madagascar: A Little Wild.
