New “Haunting Hour” episode features “Homeland” star Jackson Pace

Jackson Pace has had a lot of great experiences starring in the hit Showtime drama Homeland, where he plays Chris Brody, the son of returned soldier Nicholas Brody. But something he hadn’t done yet was leave the United States. That changed with his assignment for R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour, which filmed its latest episode, “Toy Train,” airing this Saturday at 7:30pm ET, in Vancouver. “Canada is such a beautiful place,” Pace says. “On my day off I had the chance to zipline at Grouse Mountain. The location we shot at was literally on the border. If you were allowed […]

“Spooksville”: Newcomer Keean Johnson takes up residence in Hub Network’s scary town

Spooksville is a show about a young man moving into a strange new place and experiencing a life he never expected or thought possible. Minus the ancient curses and interdimensional monsters, it’s not all that different from the tale of its star, Keean Johnson. The young star is getting his first big break as the lead in the new Hub Network series, which is an adaptation of the popular book series by legendary young-adult author Christopher Pike. Johnson plays Adam, who moves with his dad (Steve Bacic) to Springville a seemingly sleepy small town that Adam is expecting to loathe. […]

Sabrina Secrets of a Teenage Witch premieres on Hub Network Oct. 12

With ’90s nostalgia booming, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody conjured up a Sabrina the Teenage Witch revamp. But the character, who started life on the pages of Archie comics way back in 1962, won’t be getting the live-action treatment this time out. Instead, The Hub Network is going animated with Sabrina Secrets of a Teenage Witch, casting its first spell Saturday at noon. Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical) voices Sabrina, who for those in need of a reminder is a half-witch, half-human girl trying to get through the ordinary traumas of being a klutzy high-school […]

Hub Network celebrates Friday the 13th with Spooky Googly Eyes Marathon

The Hub Network is getting a little goofy — er, googly, to celebrate Friday the 13th. The macabre calendar day will feature a marathon of episodes from Goosebumps and R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour, which seems natural enough, but they’ll be back with a twist. As part of the Spooky Googly Eyes Marathon, the episodes will feature characters (and creatures) who have had immense googly eyes added to their appearance. Here, maybe it’s just better if you take a look and see for yourself. The Friday the 13th Spooky Googly Eyes Marathon runs from 5pm-8pm ET tonight on The Hub […]

Kenan Thompson to host Hub Network Halloween Bash

It’s been awhile since Kenan Thompson entertained kids and families for a living, but I’m guessing he’ll have no trouble finding his rhythm again when he hosts “Hub Network’s First Annual Halloween Bash.” The Saturday Night Live funnyman, known for recurring characters like the would-be Scared Straight criminal who steals all of his hard-luck stories from movie plots, and “Weekend Update” fixture Jean K. Jean, got his big break clowning around on Nickelodeon’s kid-friendly ’90s sketch show All That. He then found success partnering up with fellow cast member Kel Mitchell for Kenan & Kel and the feature film Good […]

SheZow brings gender-bending fun to Hub Network

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.

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 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 […]
