‘Itsy Bitsy Spider’ to Spin Web on USA

Cable’s USA Network will add two new shows to its “Cartoon Express” this fall: “Problem Child,” a half-hour animated series loosely based on the movie of the same name, and “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” a series based on the adventures of the nursery rhyme’s spider as he avenges injustice.

Frank Welker, who portrayed Itsy in a seven-minute theatrical short based on the rhyme, will provide the voice of the title character in the latter show.

Also involved are Matt Frewer (“Max Headroom”) and Charlotte Rae (“The Facts of Life”).
