The Fred the Ostrich Show: Sex and Violence

aired on Nickelodeon on October 28, 2005. It was one of two pilots produced for The Fred the Ostrich Show. The other pilot, The Fred the Ostrich & Friends Valentine Show, aired on February 14, 2005. In this half-hour animated variety special, Fred the Ostrich and the gang parody the proliferation of sex and violence on television. Virgil, George the Rhino, and hip guitarist Lloyd Zeppelin prepare for a pageant based on seven colors, with cartoon characters representing their colors -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. Inspired by The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence.
