Shezow is an Australian-Canadian animated television series created by Obie Scott Wade, originally as a short for Shorty McShorts' Shorts in 2007.
It began airing on Network Ten on 15 December 2012, and will run for 26 episodes. Aimed at kids 6-11 years-old, the series is produced by Moody Street Kids and Kickstart Productions. It is distributed by DHX Media, funded in part by Film Victoria and was designed by Australian artist Kyla May.
Summary
The series' protagonist, a 12 year old boy named Guy[2] Hamdon, discovers the superheroine Shezow's power ring (originally worn and used by his late Aunt Agnes) and puts it on. While the power ring does grant him super powers, it was only meant to be worn by a woman, so Guy must wear a female super hero costume while fighting crime. With the help of his sister, Kelly, and best friend, Maz, the new Shezow protects the city of Megadale from supervillains and criminals.
In the United States, it was added to the lineup of The Hub on June 1, 2013.[3]
In the United Kingdom, the series will be shown on Sky.[4]
The show was considered controversial by several conservative christian groups for using cross-dressing as a source of humor,[5] with One Million Moms an affiliate of the American Family Association being one of the groups targeting it.[6]
