Disney Channel Back At “School” With Fourth “HSM”

March 3, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

By RabbitEars As one of my colleagues has said here regularly about One Tree Hill, “the slippery slope never ends” for certain franchises with proven staying power among the younger set. And nothing has been as big in recent years as Disney’s High School Musical series of films. The soundtrack to the first film was the No. 1 album of 2006, and the DVD of the movie was the No. 1 TV movie on DVD. Even more astounding to me, High School Musical 2 became — and remains — the No. 1 basic cable telecast of all time. The third […]

Nickelodeon Puts Decision 2009 In Kids’ Hands

February 6, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Posted by: kjpaloucek Yeah, the Grammys are this weekend and the Oscars are coming up, but the kids don’t care about them — the stuff they like never wins, anyway. Fortunately for them, Nickelodeon’s 22nd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards nominations are out, and starting March 2, kids will be able to go online at nick.com/kca and pick their favorites. The Kids’ Choice Awards is always a pretty messy affair, with lots of Nickelodeon’s patented green slime. (It’s a secret recipe. I asked.) And it’s usually a pretty fun gig for the host as well. In recent years, Justin Timberlake and […]

You probably already know that the Jonas Brothers movie Camp Rock premieres on Disney Channel this Friday.

Who’s Gonna Lose Their “Tan”?

September 14, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Well, I suppose it’s my duty as the unofficial chronicler of E!’s Sunset Tan around here to let you know the latest on the addictively inane goings-on at the titular purveyor of all that is bronze. When the season finale rolls around September 30 at 10:30pm ET/PT, someone is going to be gone. In what could be a page right out of one of a very tanned John Le Carre’s novels, it turns out that someone is leaking the business secrets of Sunset Tan (maybe the New England Patriots were just videotaping them; and what kind of top-secret info does […]

High School Musical vs. The World

September 10, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Alexander the Great couldn’t pull it off. Napoleon failed. Hitler — close, but no cigar. All of these would-be-world conquerors have nothing on the phenomenon that is High School Musical, which has pretty quickly, and rather insidiously, enveloped the planet. Its latest sequel, High School Musical 2, recently shattered cable records in America and now looks to take over other international markets. Just in case you feel you have not fully lived the High School Musical experience — even though you have seen the films, attended the concerts, read the books, watched the ice show, continue to dab a little […]
