Total Drama Island is a Canadian animated television series which lampoons the conventions commonly found in reality shows. It premiered on the Canadian cable television specialty channel Teletoon on July 8, 2007. The show was created by the creators of 6teen, another Teletoon program. It was the second Cartoon Network show outside of Adult Swim and Toonami to have the U.S. rating of "TV-PG", and a parental-guidance warning after every commercial break and at the beginning of the show (the first being Sunday Pants; its rating in Canada for most episodes is "G", or else "PG". On the Cartoon Network airing in the United States, some content has been removed from the episodes by censors in order to keep the rating open to a younger audience; for example, putting in words instead of long bleep, for the episode "That's Off the Chain". |
