This may surprise you guys, but Wikipedia has no information on this show whatsoever. I saw the page that lead me to the original cartoon, but it says nothing about this new one. If anyone can find an article on it, please post it!

If anyone can find an article on it, please post it! The Hub is being intentionally tight-lipped about their shows. All they've released so far is a short description and a few of the voice actors.

What exactly is this "The Hub"? I thought you guys said it was going to be on Nickelodeon.

Oh Belchic, it's not going to be on Nickelodeon. Race just mentioned the new Nickelodeon show T.U.F.F. Puppy in his original post. The Hub is a new channel that's taking over Discovery Kids. It's run by Hasbro (surely you know what that is, right?), and geared towards kids and families. I think there was an article link about it on the first page of this thread

They spent the money and got Betty White for this? Wow. I wonder if they did that before her stock shot through the roof after that Snickers ad in the Super Bowl (She just won an Emmy for her SNL hosting gig). Looks like they went for a lot of live-action talent (I remember Michael Rapaport from the "War at Home."), I guess Hasbro is going all out for "The Hub." Mechindise driven programming enters the 2010s.

The website is now up; these characters are indeed different ones from the former series. The main dog in this one is named Lucky.

Interesting. Main character's name is Lucky, eh? That gives me an idea...

It's unusual to see non-anthropomorphic characters in this day and age. Here is a picture of Lucky from the site for those who don't want to go navigate through the pages. And his character description.

Doesn't feel like Pound Puppies without Cooler but eh, new generation right and Lucky fits the same role. Not to mention this show isn't for us, it's for the next generation. And as somebody pointed out there are still hints of the old characters in the new ones.
Anybody else notice the main setting is puning "Stalag 17" of all things?

If that's a screenshot from the show and not just a promotional image anyone else notice the art style looks similar to Samurai Jack? I'm sure the tone won't be given who it's aimed at but still, odd but cool choice.
