The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants

Based on the books by Dav Pilkey, this new series follows the adventures of George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two best friends who've bonded through their love of pranking, comic books and being the thorns in Principal Krupp's side. Their fun gets them mixed up in adventures crazier than their outrageous comic books, which is when they call on their greatest creation: Captain Underpants.
