Unnatural History- New Series on Cartoon Network

Sunday, June 12, 2010 was the premiere of Cartoon Network's new adventure series Unnatural History. Unnatural History is an hour long TV series that appeals to the entire family. Unnatural History is not an animated TV series, and unlike other Cartoon Network series it does have educational value.

In the pilot episode of the first season of Cartoon Network's Unnatural History, viewers are introduced to the main character Henry Griffin's [Kevin G. Schmidt] whose archaeologist parents decide he need more stability in life. Henry is sent to live with his uncle Bryan in Washington D.C. and attend Smithson high school in a museum. Shortly before Henry's arrival to Washington D.C. his godfather is murdered.

Henry and his cousin Jasper [Jordan Gavaris] investigate the murder of Henry's godfather, whose death had been ruled accidental. Jasper starts out being an unwilling ally, but by the end he and Henry have worked out a mutually beneficial arrangement. Henry and Jasper, with the occasional assistance of super smart classmate Maggie, investigate the murder of Henry's godfather and find their hands full with the suspicious ornithology teacher, a group of ninjas, Uncle Bryan, poison darts, and mysterious secret passageways.

Unnatural History's main characters seem very much like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series characters, but the show plays out much more like the National Treasure movies.

This first installment of Cartoon Network's Unnatural History gives viewers a glimpse of a promising new series. Unnatural History can be enjoyed by the whole family with plenty of mystery, adventure, and a lack of foul language and sexual innuendo.

Episode 2 of Unnatural History features a growing rock that appears at first glance to be a meteor. This episode features fire-walking Henry, Jasper, and Maggie as they team up to unravel the mystery of this great rock without alerting Uncle Bryan to their adventures.

Unnatural History can be viewed on Cartoon Network Sunday evenings at 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, and 5pm Pacific.
