a conference call with analysts on Thursday 29th January 2015 to discuss the company's 1Q15 earnings report, that, following Nick USA debuting the networks "100 Things To Do Before High School" TV movie special in November 2014, Nickelodeon USA will fully launch their brand-new series, which will introduce Nickelodeon's latest crop of super-star talent, in April 2015!:
In the quarter the sneak preview TV movie of Nickelodeon's new series A Hundred Things to do Before High School, ranked number one in its time period across all television and drove double-digit gains with key demos. This gives us great confidence when the series kicks off with new episodes in April.
"100 Things To Do Before High School" is a brand-new live-action creator-driven comedy-focused series from "Big Time Rush" creator and executive producer Scott Fellows. The half-hour, single-camera series follows three best friends as they navigate the highs and lows of middle school, with the help of a bucket list of adventures that help them overcome class cliques, terrifying bullies and clueless teachers.
With real life and teen drama awaiting her after 8th grade graduation, CJ Parker (Isabela Moner) has only a short time left to make the most of her middle school years. Together with her two lifelong best friends Fenwick (Jaheem Toombs) and Crispo (Owen Joyner), she is determined to get the most out of this time, using an ever-expanding list of challenges as a guide. For this group, growing up means trying everything and taking chances while they still can.
