MANILA, Philippines—Nickelodeon in Asia kicks off 2015 by welcoming “Oggy and the Cockroaches” to its programming lineup. This year, Nickelodeon is set to deliver fresh hits, a deep pipeline of new series, and tent-pole events tailor-made for the tastes of today’s post-millennial generation of kids. One of the most well-known cartoons globally, “Oggy and the Cockroaches” is a worldwide hit broadcasting in over 150 countries on major networks. Featuring Oggy the cat, your typical victim, and three cockroaches who won’t leave him alone, the show airs on weekdays at 5 p.m.
“Oggy and the Cockroaches” reimagines “old-fashioned” slapstick cartoons in an ever-fresh hit battling good versus bad and big versus little. The simplicity of the plotline with wild chase scenes and endearing characters, complemented by the lack of dialogue and the colorful world of animation, brings together families of all ages for an enjoyable co-viewing experience. The cartoon was produced during 1998 to 2013 and has enjoyed 16 years of television success with a total of four seasons and garnered over 2.2 million fans on its Facebook page. Nickelodeon will roll out additional content for “Oggy and the Cockroaches” on https://www.nick-asia.com/ where viewers can watch videos and play the game “Oggy’s Fries.”
Join the fun adventures of Oggy as he fights to defend his home turf from the unwelcome pests, namely Joey, Deedee and Marky.
Nickelodeon will be running year-long campaigns “SpongeBob SquarePants: Everything is Funnier with Friends” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Heroes, Brothers, Dudes,” and will be bringing viewers new seasons of returning hit series, “The Haunted Hathaways,” “Winx Club” and “Rabbids Invasion.” It will continue to deliver laughs for kids by building its slate with even more content including just-released “Breadwinners” and “Max & Shred,” and new original series “Dora and Friends: Into the City!”, “Alvin!!! and the Chipmunks,” and “Bad Seeds.”
About ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’
“Oggy and the Cockroaches” is the explosive face-off of a cat with three pests—but this time, the victim is the cat himself, and his tormentors are nature’s ugliest, filthiest, most offensive creatures.

In this fast-paced family series, Oggy fights to defend his home turf from the unwelcome pests, making for wild chase scenes and laughs for all ages. True to cartoon tradition, there’s a happy ending on the horizon. Despite his agonies, Oggy always comes out on top … well, nearly always.
