Catch Up Time: He's a Dog With a Blog!

Hey everyone! It's Matt, finally here! I've been so busy and I've been attached to so many other things for so long that I totally, didn't forget, but never made time to post. Now I'm back and will be posting about a bunch of things that I'm sure you've already heard about but I'm posting it! It's Catch Up Time! I'll be doing "Catch Up Time!"s for a little while. It's just a little segment on TE where we like to catch up on things!

So first, let's catch up on the newest Disney Channel Original Series, Dog With a Blog! Yup! The show was picked up and it stars the awesome Lemonade Mouth drummer and our favorite new teenage girl, G Hannelius ("Leo Little's Big Show", "Good Luck Charlie", "Sonny With a Chance") and Blake Michael ("Lemonade Mouth")! When you first read about the show, it sounds pretty....hard to pull off, but as you keep reading, you'll know that Disney will do an amazing job on this! Check out the press release below!

SIT…STAY...SCROLL DOWN.

"DOG WITH A BLOG" - ITS TIME HAS COME!

Disney Channel, the leading TV network for kids and families, has ordered "Dog With A Blog," a live action comedy series from Emmy-winning producer Michael B. Kaplan. A family sitcom from the pet’s point-of-view, it centers on step-siblings whose parents buy them a dog to encourage them to get along. That happens - to some extent - as brother and sister discover a big secret about their family's latest addition… that the dog can talk AND blog. The series will introduce a talented cast, among them, Disney Channel's next big star: a four year-old, mixed breed named Kuma in the role of Stan, the talking dog with a blog. The announcement was made today by Adam Bonnett, Senior Vice President, Original Programming, Disney Channel.

Production on the multi-camera series will begin this June in Hollywood for premiere in fall 2012 on Disney Channel U.S. and soon thereafter on Disney Channels around the world.

Starring are:  G. Hannelius ("Den Brother," "Good Luck Charlie"), Blake Michael ("Lemonade Mouth"), Francesca Capaldi ("A.N.T. Farm"), Beth Littleford ("I'm in the Band," "Crazy, Stupid Love," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"), Regan Burns ("Wizards of Waverly Place") and Stephen Full ("I'm in the Band") as the voice of Stan the dog. Kuma is a Husky/Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix who was rescued from a shelter. He is trained by Guin Dill and Steve Solomon of Good Dog Animals, an animal company with over 40 years combined experience in the motion picture and TV industry.

Bonnett said, "With our track record of discovering young talent who are 'triple threats,' we launched a nationwide search and our reward is that we found the one dog who could talk, blog and do his own stunts. Working with kids and animals has never been more fun!"

In "Dog With A Blog," Tyler and Avery are new step-siblings. Tyler is popular, charismatic and seems to get by solely on his looks, and Avery is smart, socially responsible and despises guys like Tyler. However, the biggest adjustment for the newly blended family comes with their new dog Stan - who talks and blogs. He's smart, a bit of a trouble maker and loves his new family, who must keep his marvelous ability a secret. Stan's canine point of view, whether in the home, in the yard or on his blog, helps the kids navigate both their new sibling situation and ultimately, becomes the tie that binds the family of six (Tyler, Avery, little sister Chloe, Mom, Dad and Stan). Even though he talks and likes a lot of "human" things, Stan is still pure dog. He chases his tail, barks at mailmen, ardently approaches poodles and is not so wild about cats.

"Dog With A Blog" was created and executive-produced by Michael B. Kaplan who most recently created and executive-produced Disney XD's "I'm in the Band." His credits also include "Frasier" for which he received an Emmy Award, "Roseanne," "Girlfriends" for which he received a BET Comedy Award, and "Doogie Howser, M.D."  The pilot was directed by Neal Israel ("Kickin' It," "Zeke and Luther," "Even Stevens") and produced by Leo Clarke ("Pair of Kings").

Disney's policy and core principles help ensure the protection and proper care and treatment of animals that appear in Disney-branded series and movies.

So what do you guys think? Could it be a good show? Yes, no, maybe? I'll go with maybe! Comment and tell me what you think!

Disney Channel Original Series, Madison High

Hey guys! It's Matt and here is some news on the all new Disney Channel musical comedy, Madison High! It sounds very intresting.

The series pilot introduces a troupe of theater students led by the melodramatic drama teacher Ms. Darbus, a beloved character from the cultural sensation “High School Musical.” Production on the pilot begins in March in consideration for a Disney Channel series to premiere in early 2012.

At Madison High, the students embark on a journey of self discovery while trying to build a revolutionary theatre program under the tutelage of Ms. Darbus. She casts a diverse troupe of both seasoned and raw actors to create an original musical production based on their lives.

15-year-old Luke Benward has the lead role of Devin Daniels, a motocross racer looking for a new hobby. The native of Nashville, Tennessee is the son of an actress and a musician, and since age 5 has appeared in commercials, music videos and movies, including the Disney Channel Original Movie “Minutemen,” “How to Eat Fried Worms,” “Doggone,” “Because of Winn-Dixie,” “Mostly Ghostly,” “Dear John” and “We Were Soldiers.”

14-year-old singer Leah Lewis has landed her first leading role as Peyton Hall, a formerly home-schooled tennis champion. Born in China and raised in Orlando, Florida, Lewis has appeared in national commercials for Kraft Cheese, Home Depot and Natures Own Bread, as well as an international commercial for Disneyland Hong Kong.

12-year-old G Hannelius is set to play Wednesday Malone, a precocious starlet in the making. The native of Boston, Massachusetts began her acting career at the age of 8 at the Children’s Theater of Maine. A familiar face on Disney Channel, she starred in the short form series “Leo Little’s Big Show” and “Den Brother,” and has appeared on “Sonny With A Chance,” “Good Luck Charlie,” “Hannah Montana” and Disney XD’s “I’m in the Band.” Her other television credits include a series regular role on ABC’s “Surviving Suburbia.”

Alyson Reed stars as drama teacher Ms. Darbus, the role she originated in “High School Musical,” followed by its sequel and feature film. The Tony Award-nominated actress starred on Broadway in “Dancin’,” “Dance a Little Closer,” “Cabaret,” “A Grand Night for Singing” and “Marilyn: An American Fable.” She can also be seen as Cassie in Richard Attenborough’s film adaptation of “A Chorus Line,” as well as multiple television guest starring roles.

Casting will be announced soon for these characters: Cherry O’Keefe -- Madison High’s resident queen bee and blogger; Harvey Flynn -- the overly officious stage manager and reigning president of the Drama Club; and Colby Baker -- the artistic anime fan whose hand-drawn Manga is inspired by his high school experiences.

So this is intresting. Mrs. Darbus has moved from East High to Madison High! I think this show is going to be awesome! I'm excited and I'm also very happy that G Hannelius will finally be apart of the Disney family! So I can't wait for this High School Musical like series, can you?

Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars Stills And Official Plot

Hey! It's just the same guy that post things often enough...Matt! I was searching and searching and searching and I finally found something worth it! I foud tons of Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars stills and the offical plot! First here is the official plot for the movie.
Official Plot:

Disney Channel will present the world premiere of "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars," starring Jennifer Stone ("Wizards of Waverly Place"), on FRIDAY, MARCH 26 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT). Based on the popular books by Louise Fitzhugh, the movie is a contemporary twist on the iconic character, as Harriet "The Spy" Welsch (played by Stone) vies to become the official blogger of her high school class.

Willing to do whatever it takes to earn the coveted position, Harriet competes against her arch nemesis, popular student Marion Hawthorne, in a month-long blog war to win her classmates support.‪ When Harriet's father, movie producer Roger Welsch, signs on to produce the sequel to the hottest teen-musical, “Spy High,” she knows her inside scoop will be a perfect opportunity to win over her classmates.

Despite Harriet's disdain for the movie and its star popular teen heartthrob, Skander Hill, she embarks on a mission to spy on him and expose his true colors. Harriet, with the help of best friends Sport and Janie, manages to turn Skander’s every misstep into fodder for her postings. But when her blog entries begin to take on a life of their own, it’s up to Harriet to set the record straight before she unwittingly brings down her father’s film and Skander's career.

Starring are Jennifer Stone ("Wizards of Waverly Place") as Harriet "The Spy" Welsch; Kristin Booth ("This Beautiful City") as Golly; Wesley Morgan ("Degrassi: The Next Generation") as Skander Hill; Doug Murray ("Man of the Year," "Aaron Stone") as Roger Welsch; Shauna MacDonald ("Aaron Stone") as Violetta Welsch; Melinda Shankar ("Degrassi: The Next Generation") as Janie; Alexander Conti ("Cheaper By the Dozen 2") as Sport; Vanessa Morgan ("The Latest Buzz") as Marion Hawthorne; Kiana Madeira (CBC's "Little Mosque on the Prairie") as Rachel; and Aislinn Paul ("Degrassi: The Next Generation") as Beth Ellen.
