Catch Up Time: Bits & Pieces

Now he's some more of Catch Up Time! Now let's chat about Disney's new pilot, Bits & Pieces! Sounds really good, to me!

DISNEY CHANNEL ORDERS FAMILY COMEDY PILOT “BITS & PIECES”

Disney Channel has ordered the comedy pilot “Bits & Pieces,” a unique re-imagining of the traditional multicamera family comedy. The series will showcase the bits and pieces of a family’s funniest moments using quick, dynamic storylines that unfold through a series of short comedic vignettes.

“Bits & Pieces” is executive-produced by Andy Fickman (“The Game Plan,” “Race to Witch Mountain”) and Betsy Sullenger (“You Again”) and written by John D. Beck & Ron Hart (“Shake It Up,” “According to Jim”). Production begins in June in consideration for a Disney Channel series to premiere in 2013.

In the story, the family tree gets a whole lot bigger when high school basketball coach Pete marries the school psychologist Jodie, much to the chagrin of their four kids. Willful teenager Alanna recounts all the family moments through comedic vignettes, while her awkward brother Sticky and their new step siblings Crystal and Brody help fill in the bits and pieces as they begin their journey together as a new family.

This is so awesome! I love it! I think it's one of the best Disney Channel pilots they've thought of in a long time! Casting is going on right now! I think this show can be a huge hit! What do you guys think? Comment!

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!

Jessie Premieres September 30th, 2011 On Disney Channel!

Big news everyone! The all new Disney Channel Original Series, Jessie will premiere September 30th, 2011 on Disney Channel! Are you excited? I know I am! Here's the press release that Disney sent out:

In the premiere episode, Jessie accepts a job as a nanny and moves in with the Ross Family – high-flying couple Christina, a former supermodel turned business mogul, and Morgan, a famous movie director, their four kids and beloved 7-foot Asian Water Monitor Lizard. While Jessie's new big city life is full of opportunity and excitement, she quickly discovers how much she relies on the support and advice of the kids in her care -- 13-year-old Emma, the biological child of the bunch, 10-year-old Indian adoptee Ravi, 12-year-old American adoptee Luke and seven-year-old African adoptee Zuri. Also helping Jessie navigate her new big city adventure is Bertram, the family's beloved yet frosty butler, and Tony, the building's 20-year-old doorman.

Here is some more information about the show:

The sitcom "Jessie" follows Jessie, a small town girl with big dreams who embarks on the adventure of a lifetime when she decides to leave behind starry nights for big city lights. Thrilled to be on her own and determined not to be intimidated by New York City, she accepts a job as a nanny and moves in with the Ross family -- dad Morgan, a famous movie director, and mom Christina, a former supermodel turned business mogul, along with their four children, Emma, Ravi, Luke and Zuri. With a whole new world of opportunities within her reach, Jessie begins to navigate young adulthood and life in the big city. She surprises herself with how much she comes to rely on the support and advice of the kids in her care. Also helping to guide her moral compass are Bertram, the family’s butler, and Tony, the building's 20-year-old doorman.

An idealistic teen, Jessie is searching for a world wider than the one she grew up in on a military base in Texas. Rebelling against her strict father, a Marine Sergeant, she is happy to be on her own and determined not to be intimidated by the sophistication of New York City or the people she meets there. Conflict and chaos arise as she attempts to live her dream and achieve her ambitions while caring for four kids.

Emma, a bubbly teenager eager to reorder the world as she sees fit, is the only biological child of Morgan and Christina. Ravi, a 10-year-old, is the newest adoptee and, although he is imbued with his Eastern culture, he is thrilled with his new life in America. His one link to his beloved homeland is a seven-foot Asian Water Monitor Lizard named Mr. Kipling. Luke, a 12-year-old adopted at age five from Detroit, is a sarcastic mischief-maker. He’s confident with the ladies, Jessie in particular, and is obsessed with video games and dancing. The baby of the family is seven-year-old Zuri, who was adopted at birth from Africa. She is highly creative and has a hard time separating fact from fiction, brought to light by her array of imaginary friends and pets.

Starring are Debby Ryan as Jessie ("The Suite Life on Deck," "16 Wishes"); Tony Award-nominated Kevin Chamberlin (Broadway's "The Addams Family") as Bertram; Peyton List ("27 Dresses," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules") as Emma; Karan Brar ("Diary of a Wimpy Kid," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules") as Ravi; Cameron Boyce ("Grown Ups") as Luke and Skai Jackson ("Royal Pains") as Zuri.

Exciting can't wait!

"PrankStars," New Disney Channel Reality Series Premiering July 15th

Big news! A new Disney Channel Reality Series called, PrankStars, will premiere July 15th! What is PrankStars?

Disney Channel stars Selena Gomez, Debby Ryan and Mitchel Musso surprise their biggest fans in the premiere episode of "PrankStars," a hidden camera series where unsuspecting tweens and teens are set up by family members and come face to face with their favorite celebrities in unpredictable and humorous situations. Premiering FRIDAY, JULY 15 (8:00 – 8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel, the reality series is hosted by Mitchel Musso ("Pair of Kings," "Phineas and Ferb"), who directs the pranks live from a covert mobile command center. New episodes will premiere every month featuring a roster of new stars.
In the premiere episode featuring three pranks, 14-year-old Mary is put to the test when she is paired up with Selena Gomez, disguised as a typical teenager, to learn a jingle during an audition for a fake bubble gum commercial. The hilarity continues as Debby Ryan recruits her No. 1 fan, 14-year-old Albany, to model for her upcoming fashion show, but Albany's loyalties are tested when she is asked to fire Debby. When Mitchel Musso's real-life best friend does not show up for an interview at a restaurant, he recruits unsuspecting patron, 15-year-old Luke, to step in for the hardest role of his life.
"PrankStars" is executive-produced by Barry Poznick ("Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"), John Stevens ("Lingo"), Charles Steenveld ("Family Game Night") and Rick de Oliveira ("All-Star Celebrity Treasure Hunt"). Musso co-wrote and performs the theme song. The reality series is a production of ZOO Productions. It carries a TV-G parental guideline.

The hit buddy comedy series set in the world of a tween dance show, "Shake It Up, Chicago!," has generated development plans for a DCOM debut. The comedy series features two high-spirited characters, best friends CeCe Jones and Raquel "Rocky" Blue, whose dreams of becoming professional dancers are realized when they become background dancers on the most popular teen dance show, "Shake it Up, Chicago!," a gig they land thanks to their longtime and well-connected friend, Deuce. Between learning a wide range of new dance styles, navigating the backstage antics at the show (especially with their rivals Tinka and Gunther) and their newfound social status at school, the girls experience new and fun adventures, some that test their friendship.
