Nickelodeon Benelux to Premiere 'Just Add Magic' on Monday 20th January 2020

Nickelodeon Benelux will be adding some sparkle to the recipe with Just Add Magic, premiering Monday 20th January 2020 at 17:30 on Nickelodeon Netherlands (Nederland) and Nickelodeon Flanders (Vlaanderen)! In the spellbinding new U.S. live-action family television series, three best friends discover a magical cookbook that helps them uncover mysteries that span generations. Following its debut, Nickelodeon will serve up extra helpings with new episodes airing regularly. It's currently unknown whether the series will also air on Nickelodeon Wallonia (Wallonie). The series is locally titled Een Snufje Magie in the Netherlands and the Flanders region of Belgium (België).


The news follows Nickelodeon UK & Ireland starting to air Just Add Magic on November 2019 and Nickelodeon France also planning to debut the magical series on Monday 3rd February 2020.

In Just Add Magic, Kelly Quinn and her two BFF's, Darbie and Hannah, stumble upon her grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and discover some far from ordinary recipes. When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic.

In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls use a magical recipe using an ancient cookbook that they found in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.’s shop to get the ingredients for the “Shut ‘em Up Shortcake” and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realise they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realise the spells come with a consequence.


Throughout season one, Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbour Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realise that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.

Polaris, the House Band from ‘The Adventures of Pete & Pete’, Announce Vinyl Reissue & Tour

Polaris, the ‘Adventures of Pete & Pete’ band, announce vinyl reissue & tour


Hey smiling strange, “The Band That Lives Inside Your TV” are back! Polaris, the house band from Nickelodeon's beloved '90s series The Adventures of Pete & Pete that features Mark Mulcahy, David McCaffre, and Scott Boutier, will be touring this year for only the second time ever with spring dates in Boston, Philadelphia, NYC, and more, and summer dates in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago and more! It’s to support a new deluxe vinyl reissue of Music from the Adventures of Pete & Pete that will include a CD of original demos dating between 1992-95, liner notes from Pete & Pete co-creator Will McRobb, and a complete album lyric sheet. That will be out later this year via Mulcahy’s Mezzotint label.

Polaris are Mark Mulcahy (Muggy), David McCaffrey (Jersey), and Scott Boutier (Harris). The three were longtime bandmates in underground favorite Miracle Legion, who’ve also reunited in recent years. Post-Polaris, Mulcahy went on to start an eclectic solo career, becoming one of the most celebrated and revered songwriters making records today. McCaffrey and Boutier played bass and drums together in several acts including Frank Black and the Catholics.

The “21st Century Tour” will find Muggy, Jersey and Harris venturing out to 14 US cities between May and August. They’ll bring a mix of Polaris and Miracle Legion songs, plus some surprises to the sets. These shows will be the first since the band’s highly successful “Waiting for October Tour” in 2014-15, a jaunt across the country that found a generation of now grown-up Nickelodeon fans singing along to every word. The joyful reunion tour culminated in the beautifully recorded and packaged Live at Lincoln Hall double album.

In addition to touring, Polaris’ hit vinyl record, Music from the Adventures of Pete & Pete, will be receiving a special reissue to mark the occasion. The release will be a deluxe vinyl package, including a CD of original demos dating between 1992-95, liner notes from Pete & Pete co-creator Will McRobb, and a complete album lyric sheet. It’s the ultimate edition of a record that Consequence of Sound called “a collection of songs that perfectly capture the confusion, whimsy, and wonder of adolescence.”

The “21st Century Tour” begins on May 14th in Pawtucket, RI, at The Met and wraps up on August 8th in Maquoketa, IA, at Codfish Hollow. See below for the full itinerary, and keep an eye out for additional dates and news from Mezzotint.com as more information becomes available.

Nickelodeon India's 'Motu Patlu' Most Watched Kids Show in India During Christmas Holidays

Kids' channels achieve highest viewership in BARC week 53 amid Christmas vacation

The most-watched show was by Nickelodeon’s Motu Patlu


MUMBAI: Amid Christmas vacation, kids' channels viewership in India reached a new peak during week 53 (2019) with over 25 million viewing minutes, the Broadcasting Audience Research Council of India (BARC) reported.

The most liked and watched show by kids this vacation was Nickelodeon's hit Motu Patlu. It received at least 95 million viewing minutes. Motu Patlu was followed by Doraemon, a Hungama cartoon series, at second position with 57 million viewing minutes.

Motu Patlu is a classic Indian animated series on the same lines as Laurel and Hardy. The show follows Motu and Patlu, two best friends who live Furfuri who constantly run into trouble thanks to Motu’s awkward actions, and subsequently chased by a police officer before eventually getting out of it with the help of his friends. The show is one of Nickelodeon India's most watched shows, with the series reportedly garnering more than 3 million views on WowKidz, Cosmos Mayas’ and YouTube India in 2018. Interestingly, show is geo-blocked on YouTube.

Whereas Sony Yay!’s Honey Bunny Ka Jholmaal and Hungama’s Shinchan bagged third and fourth positions in the most-watch kids shows during vacation respectively. Both shows have received at least 53 million viewing minutes.

Within the top five shows binged watched by the kids, Oggy And The Cockraches, which is placed on the fifth spot, has received 49 million viewing minutes.

BARC in week 53 report said that Nickelodeon has topped the channel with 188425 weekly impressions, followed by Pogo TV with 103183 weekly impressions.

The news comes after another big year for Motu Patlu: The duo were inducted into the Madame Tussauds waxwork museum in New Delhi, did a bit of yoga with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and became a hit in China. The series also recently added another feather to its cap by winning the ‘Best Animation – Jury’ award at the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival, and was named by Google as the ninth most searched for television show globally by fans in 2019 (only one of two Indian television series to make the list).

Motu Patlu made its debut on Nick India on 16th October 2012, and has since become one of the most popular cartoons in India. The series is produced by Maya Digital Studios and Cosmos Entertainment, produced by Deepa Sahi and Anish JS Mehta, and directed by Suhas Kadav, with Sandesh Shandilya serving as the show's theme song composer. The theme song "Motu Aur Patlu Ki Jodi" is sung by Sukhwinder Singh. The success of Motu Patlu has spawned a spin-off series, Inspector Chingum, which is available on Amazon Prime Video.

Nickelodeon forays into BARC’s ‘Top 10 Channels’ in all categories

BARC in week 53 report said that Nickelodeon has topped the channel with 188425 weekly impressions, followed by Pogo TV with 103183 weekly impressions.

Nick was followed by POGO, Disney channel, Sony YAY! and Sonic in the kids channels category. Among the ‘Top 5 Programmes’, Nickelodeon reigns with Motu Patlu in the top three slots while Pogo’s Chhota Bheem and Nickelodeon’s Rudra takes the other two.

The new Kids of Comedy are:

After moving to Los Angeles, he started studying with The Groundlings and developing his own characters and performing various impressions and accents.

The series also features a appearance from Alisa Reyes, who, along with Mitchell, Thompson, Denberg and Server, helped make the original series a ‘90s icon for an entire generation of kids.

The show's iconic '90s theme song, "All That", performed by TLC also makes a welcome return.

All That was Nickelodeon’s longest running live-action series with 171 episodes across 10 seasons from 1994 to 2005. The franchise paved the way for a number of successful spinoffs, including: Kenan & Kel, The Amanda Show and The Nick Cannon Show; the feature-length film Good Burger; as well as audio recordings, books, festival tours, and numerous reunions celebrating the show’s impact on pop culture. All That was created by Brian Robbins and Mike Tollin.

All That helped launch the careers of comedy stars including Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes and Nick Cannon, and has featured musical guests and guest stars including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), Brittany Snow, and Tia and Tamera Mowry from Sister, Sister.

Nickelodeon Russia to Premiere 'Just Add Magic' on Monday 17th February 2020

Nickelodeon Russia (Россия) will be adding some sparkle to the recipe with Just Add Magic, premiering Monday 17th February 2020 at 15:45 MCK! In the spellbinding new U.S. live-action family television series, three best friends discover a magical cookbook that helps them uncover mysteries that span generations. Following its debut, Nickelodeon will serve up extra helpings with new episodes airing Mondays-Thursdays at 15:45 MCK. Each episode will encore the same evening at 22:05 MCK and during a Just Add Magic marathon each Friday from 15:45 MCK and 22:05 MCK.


The news follows Nickelodeon UK & Ireland starting to air Just Add Magic on November 2019 and Nickelodeon France also planning to debut the magical series on Monday 3rd February 2020.

In Just Add Magic, Kelly Quinn and her two BFF's, Darbie and Hannah, stumble upon her grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and discover some far from ordinary recipes. When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic.

In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls use a magical recipe using an ancient cookbook that they found in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.’s shop to get the ingredients for the “Shut ‘em Up Shortcake” and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realise they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realise the spells come with a consequence.


Throughout season one, Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbour Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realise that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.
