SheZow brings gender-bending fun to Hub Network

May 31, 2013 StayTuned Staff

SheZow Saturday, June 1 Hub Network, 12:30pm It’s every 12-year-old boy’s dream, right? To discover a power ring that transforms the wearer into a superhero. But with it comes a lesson that all 12-year-olds must learn as well: there’s always a catch. In this case, the ring is only meant to be worn by a girl. So when self-described extreme dude Guy Hamdon puts on the ring, he fights crime while wearing a rather bold female superhero costume. SheZow not only defeats the bad guys, but his new identity also helps Guy in his attitude towards the opposite sex. Already […]

“Wizards vs Aliens” creator Phil Ford talks about making leap from U.K. to U.S.

May 28, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Wizards vs. Aliens Saturday, June 1 Hub Network, 7pm ET When they name a show Wizards vs Aliens, one question you really don’t have to ask is “Hey, what’s that about?” But the zippy series goes beyond its self-explanatory title and gives the creators of Doctor Who and Torchwood a chance to expand their strict sci-fi background and introduce a little fantasy into the mix. Already a hit in the U.K., Wizards vs. Aliens will hit American shores this weekend with two back-to-back episodes on Hub Network, telling the story of Tom Clarke (Scott Haran), a 16-year-old who hides the […]

The Aquabats Super Show Season 2 date, time, TV channel, preview and more!

May 22, 2013 StayTuned Staff

The Aquabats Super Show! — Season 2 Saturday, June 1 Hub Network, 1pm ET/10am PT Art imitates life a bit this season on The Aquabats! Super Show! Maybe that’s going a bit deep for a proudly goofy show about five dudes who wear rash guards and goggles while playing ska-infused novelty songs that serve as a soundtrack for their battles with weird creatures in homages to cheesy sci-fi flicks, but there it is. When we catch up with MC Bat Commander, EagleBones Falconhawk, Crash McLarson, Jimmy the Robot and Ricky Fitness, they have just returned to Earth after being stranded in space […]

Jo Frost talks ‘Family SOS with Jo Frost’ on TLC

May 20, 2013 Lori Acken

As TV’s beloved Supernanny, Jo Frost spent seven seasons coming to the rescue of parents whose tots were creating havoc — but she says she did much of her best counseling when the cameras were off. So Frost pulled the plug on the long-running ABC hit and began contemplating a new show in which she could assist all kinds of clans, not just those in need of the “naughty step.” “I wanted to focus on a format that would allow my expertise to be shown on every level, and I wanted to be able to create a format that allows me […]

Rock My RV with Bret Michaels on Travel Channel: Bret gives us the details

May 8, 2013 Lori Acken

Poison frontman Bret Michaels says he’s logged over 3 million miles in a host of rolling homes — from the cozy Winnebagos of his Butler, Pa., youth to the most luxurious Prevost tour buses when he grew up to be a rock star. In fact, the open-road lifestyle is so much a part of Michaels’ DNA that if you hope to get an offstage glimpse at him when he tours your town, don’t look in the lobbies of luxury inns. “When all my other bandmates stay at hotels on our days off, I actually stay [on the bus] at the […]

Bet On Your Baby premieres Saturday night on ABC

April 12, 2013 Lori Acken

Here’s the primary problem with trying to be the least bit mad at ABC’s new Bet On Your Baby: You have to be mad about watching adorable babies. OK, they’re toddlers, but still. You have to be mad about adorable toddlers doing pretty adorable stuff. And, unless you do not like children one bit — and no matter how saccharine and over-caffeinated their parents are — that is awfully tough to do. The premise of the show is far more off-putting on paper than it turned out to be on the air. One parent heads back to a playroom called […]

Can Hallmark’s Kitten Bowl compete against Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl?

April 5, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Hallmark Channel announced today that it will be launching an annual event franchise called Kitten Bowl, starting Feb. 2, 2014 — Super Bowl Sunday. If the idea of cute little animals running around as alternative viewing to Super Bowl pre-game shows sounds familiar, it may be because you are thinking of Animal Planet’s very successful Puppy Bowl, which will be entering its 10th year on that very same day next year. It looks like the two networks will be going at it like cats and dogs for ratings in the near future. While Animal Planet does feature kitties in its […]
