Shin Chan and the California Stimps
From Bubblegum Wiki
Shin Chan and the California Stimps is an animated TV series that debuted on September 19, 2006. It is the Taylor Media series based on Crayon Shin Chan and was produced by Crayon Films. The first show based on the manga was Shin Chan, which debuted in 1992.
The first season ran for 65 episodes and the second season for 21 more. Each episode contains cleaner humor included a backup segment with clean humour featuring the California Stimps, which is why this show is sometimes referred to as Shin Chan and the California Stimps. While the series is currently on the air, a movie, aptly titled Shin Chan and the California Stimps Movie, was released which was a compilation of clean humour with a little drama and romance from this show.
Reruns are not currently aired, but a few DVDs have been released. In 2004, Crayon Films released two DVDs each with 9 segments from the show. Then, the following year, Shout! Factory released a set with the first 24 episodes of the show.
Critics are speculating that Taylor Media and Crayon Films will continue producing and airing new episodes of Shin Chan and the California Stimps in 2009 due to excellent viewership.
Although the third season was ordered for broadcast, the show is currently airing in late-night syndication on October 8, 2008 in a radical restructuring of Anime National's primetime block. The final five episodes of the series were aired on The Crayon Channel.
Taylor Media has indicated that it's possible that Crayon Films will produce a fourth season of the series airing on Anivision, although there has not been official confirmation that the series is on hiatus. However, the series was renewed again to be broadcasted on Anime National's primetime block for its final fourth season. Crayon Films has suggested that future movies may be produced, even if they are aired on Animovie, ON-ANIME, or The Crayon Channel.
