AwesomenessTV to premiere on Nickelodeon as a Sketch series…could ‘Fingerlings’ debut?? Competition for MAD on Cartoon Network??

We ponder…

Starting July 1st @ 8pm EST, AwesomenessTV will debut on the struggling Nickelodeon network as a sketch comedy series geared towards teens highlighting some of the internet’s best videos for the age group. That said, Dreamworks just bought AwesomenessTV and as a result one has to wonder if any kind of animated content will see the light of day on the series.

One of the shows we talked about previously was Fingerlings, a series consisting of finger puppets that tease at current pop culture moments. Chances are these guys won’t say anything bad to a teen idol like Justin Bieber, but at least we have the realm of possibility.

But, could THIS be a series that makes its way onto TV? It could help open the door to Nick beginning the process of winning over a slightly older audience as it tries to stay afloat with reruns of Full House running all over the place. The show will also provide for a bit of tussle for Cartoon Network’s animated sketch series MAD of which currently mans the 8:30 time slot on Monday Nights. Dreamworks could try and go after that audience a little with animated sketches of its own to go along with Fingerlings which consists of a premise MAD  has certainly perfected over the years.

So what are your thoughts?? Do you want Awesome or MAD on Monday Nights??
