Angry Beavers

Angry Beavers was a Nickelodeon animated series about Daggett and Norbert, two brother beavers who have left their mom and home to become two bachelors in the forest. Their many adventures spark them to release their ugly sides very often, drawing in the name Angry Beavers. The show premiered in 1997 and was cancelled amid controversy in 2000 (with a handful of unaired eps remaining).

Recurring Characters

Daggett: Dag is the younger brother of Norbert by four minutes. He is very crazy, extremely hyper, and sometimes funny. He says an assortment of strange phrases and likes calling people names. His trademark phrase is "That was nuts!" He is dark brown with a red nose, and voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz.
Norbert: Norb is Dag's laid back, older brother. He uptakes many hobbies and frequently pronounces words incorrectly. His trademark phrase is "Big hug!" (often accompanied by him hugging Dag). He is light brown with a purple nose, and voiced by Nick Bakay, or Salem of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch fame.
Stump: Stump is a tree stump that Norb pulled out of the ground and drew a face on. He is believed to be alive by the animals of the forest and seems to move on his own. He is probably the inspiration for "Plank" on Ed, Edd n Eddy.
Bear: He is a bear that lives in the forest and a friend and, sometimes, foe of Dagget and Norbert. He behaves very strangely and hibernates a lot.

Controversy

The whole controversy surrounding the series first started in 1998, when Alley Oops! had Norb saying "Oh, shut up, Dag!"

When this episode was first televised in the US on Nick, the "shut" in "shut up" was bleeped out. Apparently, someone complained about the phrase "shut up" in a Nick program, and, because of this, they decided to clamp down any anything seen as even mildly-subversive. What that bleep did, however, was it generated more interest in the show, as some felt that it had vulgar language in the dialog. Between airings, however, Nick changed Norb's line to "Shush up, stupid!" It was the first time any Nicktoon had a line changed between airings since Ren & Stimpy.

The final straw was an unaired ep titled Bye Bye Beavers, involving Norb having to convince Dag that they're just characters on a TV show. Staffer Micah Wright said that Nick hated this episode, as it made fun of Nick's practice of not making new episodes of their Nicktoons and, instead, making money on the constant barrage of repeats instead. It is unclear if it was even part of foreign syndication.

All in all, 63 episodes of the show were produced, because Nick cut 2 episodes out of the planned 65.
