'''''Total Drama Island''''' (sometimes shortened to '''TDI''') is a Canadian animated television series which premiered in Canada on [[Teletoon (Canada)|Teletoon]] on July 8, 2007 and on June 5, 2008 in the U.S. on [[Cartoon Network]]. This is the first season of the ''[[Total Drama]]'' series and has 27 episodes, each 22 minutes in duration<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elliottanimation.com/productions/totaldramaisland/details.htm| title = Elliott Animation - Productions - Total Drama Island}}</ref> with a special 44 minute episode at the end. The season is mostly a parody of the series ''[[Survivor (TV series)|Survivor]]'', which consists of twenty-two campers in an elimination-based competition. On the Cartoon Network airing in the United States, some content has been removed from the episodes by censors in order to keep the rating open to a younger audience; for example, putting in words instead of long [[Bleep censor|bleeps]], for the episodes "That's Off the Chain" and "Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon". The fourth season, ''[[Total Drama: Revenge of the Island]]'' is also shown in the same location except with a new cast. Christian Potenza hopes to have 10 seasons total.{{cn|date=October 2013}}
