Teletoon has green-lit Fugget About It from 9 Story Entertainment. The 13-part series is the first commissioned from the Teletoon at Night Pilot Project.

The Pilot Project was originally launched in fall 2007. In total, ten projects out of 200 submissions were selected to go to pilot in the hope that they could be further developed. The pilots screened online and on-air as part of Teletoon’s Sunday night ‘Fred at Night’ block.

Teletoon invested $1.5 million into the initiative.

Fugget About It follows the adventures of 16-year-old Petey Falcone, the son of a former New York mob boss who lives in a witness protection program with his family in Canada.

“The Teletoon at Night Pilot Project was a unique initiative… to tap into the rich store of talent within the Canadian animation industry,” said Alan Gregg, the broadcaster’s director of original content. “Teletoon received some great projects through this initiative and we’re thrilled to be able to take the Fugget About It pilot and develop it into a series with the humor and broad appeal we look for in our comedy programming.”
