Cynopsis: Kids! 01/04/11 Good morning. It’s Tuesday, January 4, 2011, and this is your first early morning Kids briefing. Are You Ready Kids? Aye Aye Captain! Good thing because Nickelodeon has picked up a ninth season of SpongeBob SquarePants. The new season, which includes the 200th episode of the animated series, is comprised of 26 episodes and is slated to debut in 2012. Legends of Bikini Bottom, a new hour-long SpongeBob special including four new stories, will premiere January 28, 2011. SpongeBob SquarePants was tops with K2-11, K6-11 and Tweens 9-14 on all TV in 2010. Created by Stephen Hillenburg, who serves as executive producer along with Paul Tibbitt, SpongeBob SquarePants is a Nicktoons Production and is produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studios, and can be seen in 171 markets and 26 languages. NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Nickelodeon has greenlit a pilot for How to Rock Braces and Glasses, a sitcom featuring singer/actress Cymphonique (she uses just her first name, but her last name is Miller), daughter of Master P and sister of Romeo (Miller), per Variety. The series revolves around Kacey (Cymphonique), a popular girl whose status wanes when she gets both braces and glasses, but finds happiness by turning to music. Based on a new Alloy Entertainment book series of the same name and slated for release in September 2011. How to Rock Braces and Glasses is penned by David Israel and Jim O’Doherty (Grounded for Life, 3rd Rock From the Sun). Israel will serve as executive producer with Alloy’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo. O’Doherty is currently executive producing the new Disney XD series Wasabi Warriors. Cymphonique has appeared on Nickelodeon’s True Jackson VP and Just Jordan, and has lent her voice to characters on Disney’s Phineas and Ferb.
