If you don’t have small children, you may never have heard of The Tiny Chef. It’s a Nickelodeon show about the adventures of an adorable little chef who lives in a tree stump and makes food for his equally adorable friends.
The show was three seasons in and recently scooped up an Emmy for Outstanding Preschool Animated Series. From the outside, it looked like The Tiny Chef was a huge success. Nickelodeon executives saw it otherwise and took a chainsaw to the chef’s tree stump, canceling the show completely.
