OMAHA, Neb.—Two Omaha moms are launching a straight-to-DVD cartoon that reflects their own life together as parents of a young boy.

“Buddy G—My Two Moms and Me” is about a 5-year-old with two moms who loves science and uses a computer strapped to his arm to solve problems.

Executive producer Margaux Towne-Colley said Nov. 26 that most reaction to the $10 DVD has been positive so far.

The first episode talks about the value of being truthful, along with a few facts about how metal detectors work. Future episodes were to include other families, including ones with two dads.

Towne-Colley said the company she and her spouse formed, Us 2 LLC, has received a few hundred orders for the first episode DVD. She expects to have 5,000 copies in hand by mid-December.

She would love to see their cartoon air on TV, but doesn’t expect that to happen soon: “I don’t know if Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel would be ready for this.”
