The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show Debuts Today (10/9) on Netflix

The Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show

From DreamWorks Animation Television comes an all-new original series—THE MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN SHOW—starring Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, Rick & Morty) as Mr. Peabody and Max Charles (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Strain) as Sherman.

Debuting exclusively on Netflix today, October 9th, THE MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN SHOW will turn the late night world upside down. Hosted by the world’s smartest dog, Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman, the high-energy talk show is broadcast in front of a live studio audience from their swanky New York City penthouse. In each episode the co-hosts interview a menagerie of historical figures, like George Washington and Edgar Allen Poe, and bring musical guests to the stage, all while nosey neighbors continuously interfere with their own agendas.

This modern take on the animated classic pairing not only brings the characters to the 21st century, but places them in a setting not unlike the after-midnight talk shows of the 60s – but one for families to enjoy together. Also in every episode, Peabody’s WABAC machine transports the talk show hosts and viewers on their Time Travel Adventures to the days of history’s most prominent figures, who are bent on accomplishing anything but what they’re known for – if not for a little help from Peabody. Historical figures Mr. Peabody and Sherman visit in the first several episodes include Napoleon, Cleopatra, Mozart, and Marco Polo. Peabody also uses the WABAC to bring important historical figures back to their modern day talk show set to bring history alive through hilarious segments and musical numbers.

My kids were fans of the movie and are excited to start watching this tonight for "family movie night".
