Hotdog TV is a series of one-minute interstitials shot fully on green screen featuring the hot dogs from the Henson Company stage show Stuffed and Unstrung, and originally from City Kids. The series ran on Cartoon Network in summer 2010. The series was directed by Patrick Bristow, with help from Brian Henson early in the run. The series was written by Nate Knetchel. Hotdog TV, or HDTV, stemmed from a sketch in Puppet Up! featuring the hot dogs.
