BREAKING. M-Net Series secures the rights to Unnatural History that The Cartoon Network won't show in South Africa.


You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively break the news that M-Net Series has secured the broadcasting rights to a great adventure family show Unnatural History that will start on the channel on Friday, 22 April at 19:30.

Unnatural History very recently got canceled by The Cartoon Network in America where it was the cartoon channel's first live-action show (as opposed to animation) and it's actually a great show. However, I have asked several times last year, as well as this year, and The Cartoon Network in Europe (which is the Cartoon Network feed that South Africa is getting) has remained adamant that it won't be showing the live-action shows like Unnatural History here. So good going for M-Net Series for picking up this gem.

By the way, that new ThunderCats animation show that The Cartoon Network will be rolling out this year in America . . . no word from the Cartoon Network in Europe on whether they'll have it too and I asked again very recently. But back to Unnatural History. There's 13 hourlong episodes (I've watched them already which is why I can tell you its awesome) and centers around Henry Griffin (Kevin G. Schmidt) who goes on adventures finding artefacts with his friends Jasper and Maggie. Of course they go to school in the private Smithson High School which is actually a natural history museum.
