The Noids (partially found production material of cancelled Domino's mascot-based animated series; 1988): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:20, 28 September 2016

Status: Cancelled/Lost

The Noids is a cancelled 1988 Saturday morning cartoon based on a character featured in the Domino's Pizza commercials in mid-late 1980's. The show would have featured a group of Noids, engaged in various situations designed to underscore the characters' inclination to misadventure.^[1]

The show was meant to air in the 1988-89 fall schedule on CBS. However, the project was cancelled amid complaints that it was merely an advertising ploy and not a show for children. Additionally, the infamous Kenneth Lamar Noid incident, where Noid held up a Domino's restaurant under the assumption the mascot was made to specifically mock him, has likely sealed the show's fate forever.

No other information of the show has surfaced.

-Though the motives for the show's cancellation is unknown, it is likely that the 1989 holdup of a Domino's restaurant by Kenneth Lamar Noid (a mentally ill man who thought the Noid advertisements were personal attacks on him) played a factor in ensuring the show's disappearance.
