Thugaboo: Sneaker Madness


Thugaboo is a series of children's television specials created by the Wayans Brothers. It first aired on Nicktoons, on August 11, 2006. To date there have been two Thugaboo specials.

The show focuses on the adventures of a gang of neighborhood kids of different racial cultures known as "The Boo Crew" with D-Roc as the leader, often helping each other out and going to serious situations and learning a lesson in moral. The show features an abstract voice cast starring most of the Wayans family with the animation having some similarity to other black-centered shows such as The Proud Family. The show has a structure combination of African American cultural endurance and adoration with ending music videos from Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and the children-centered oriented program synopsis on young love and romance commonly found in the classic Peanuts cartoon specials. It is remarked as a family classic and one of the first Nickelodeon programs to center on an African American character.

Thugaboo has premiered two music videos using characters from the specials, "Just Be U" and "Gimmie Gimmie." Similar to Fat Albert, it teaches kids about moral lessons and virtues.
