It appears that Those Scurvy Rascals have not only stolen lots of underpants, but have also struck a nerve with UK kids. Half-term ratings are in and the CGI series is sitting fourth spot overall.

Airing between 8:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m., the Entara-owned production from Blue-zoo studio averaged a 3.4% ratings share among kids four to 15, with 120,000 of them tuning in at least once during this half-term period.

Nickelodeon and NickToons Network (US) acquired worldwide multiplatform broadcast rights to the 26 x 3.5-minute series from Entara at the beginning of 2007. It launched in the UK on NickToons on May 28.
