The Talented Mr Bixby is a web animation series that lasted throughout 2008. It is about a man who works as a janitor at Shoehorn High School but tries to be everything whenever someone is needed as a substitute. Though he has a big heart he often fails miserably at everything he does. The series was fairly short-lived like all the “Wedgies” Cartoon Network created for the block on the channel at the time.
