• falling for new kids’ shows: nickelodeon 2014-15 tv line-up

    We always get psyched when TV shows make their debut. For the grown-ups, we’re head over heels for True Detective and holding our breath for Believe. For the kiddos, there’s a slew of new educational and entertaining TV series coming to Nickelodeon later this year/early 2015, with plenty of crowd-pleasing choices for your favorite preschooler. (We’re particularly excited for the latest Fresh Beat installment!) Here’s the scoop on what to watch and when:

    ·         Dora and Friends: Into the City!  is set in a fictional, pan-Latino city, where Dora is 10 years old, in school and at the center of a group that works together to give back to the community. This show aims to teach Spanish and introduces new educational areas to the curriculum, including social-emotional skills like community service and peer relationships.  Dora and Friends will launch late-summer.

    Fresh Beat Band of Spies is based on the hit live-action show, The Fresh Beat Band, in which four best friends — Kiki, Marina, Twist and Shout – are also a group of undercover spies.  The pop band uses their individual talents and the coolest transforming spy gadgets to outwit a goofy cast of bad guys and solve an endless series of wild and wacky mysteries.  The series, which teaches problem-solving to preschoolers,  is currently in production and will premiere  in 2015.

    In a Nutshell: Fall may seem like a long way off, but with all these promising shows, we think it’ll be worth the wait.
