YTV NEWVEMBER PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS:

THE THUNDERMANS
(PREMIERE) The Thundermans, from Jed Spingarn, co-executive producer of Big Time Rush, is a new live-action series about a family of superheroes that focuses on the sibling rivalry between good and evil twin sister and brother, Phoebe and Max. The #1 concern for the family is trying to keep their super-human quirks under wraps and lead a normal life. However, fitting in isn’t as easy as expected considering Phoebe and Max’s competitive relationship is turbocharged by their top-notch powers. The Thundermans airs on Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET/PT beginning November 7 on YTV.
SWINDLE (PREMIERE) Swindle is an original TV movie featuring a celebrity cast that includes Sam & Cat’s Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande; Noah Crawford and Chris O’Neal from How to Rock; Ciara Bravo from Big Time Rush; and iCarly’s Noah Munck. In the comedy caper, an evil collector cons Griffin (Crawford) out of a million dollar baseball card that could have saved his best friend’s (O’Neal) home, so he unites a ragtag group of his classmates (McCurdy, Grande, Bravo and Munck) to take down the swindler. Swindle is based on the popular children’s book by Gordon Korman. Swindle airs Saturday, November 30 at 6 p.m. ET/PT
JAPANIZI: GOING, GOING, GONG!
(PREMIERE AND SNEAK PEEK) A zany Japanese game show for families, which has contestants hurling themselves against Velcro walls, sliding on their bellies in penguin suits and wiping out on slippery spinning disks, all in front of a high-energy live studio audience. Four teams of two contestants are transported into a wacky, larger-than-life colourful set filled with outrageous obstacles, physical gags and over-the-top characters. Along with a hefty dose of slapstick mayhem, fans can visit www.japanizi.com for an interactive web series, games and more. The series premieres on Tuesday, November 5 at 6 p.m. Catch a special sneak peek on Sunday, November 3 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, following the YTV premiere of Rio at 6 p.m. ET/PT
RABBIDS INVASION (PREMIERE) The mischievous video game creatures known as Rabbids make their debut on YTV in a new CG-animated series Rabbids Invasion. For the Rabbids, everything is a source of wonder and amusement, and these indestructible and uncontrollable creatures have absolutely no respect for the social rules that govern society. There are no laws, no rules of the road; they are all about having fun and their only language is a crazy-sounding “Bwaaaaaah!” Rabbids Invasion airs on Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. ET/PT beginning November 2 on YTV.
EXTREME BABYSITTING
(SEASON 2 PREMIERE) Extreme Babysitting takes a totally relatable situation – babysitting – and gives it a hilarious twist. Tweens ready to take on babysitting gigs find themselves in silly situations they never saw coming. Unbeknownst to them, the Extreme Babysitting house is filled with a new cast of characters ready to pull off the ultimate babysitting prank, such as an overflowing popcorn machine that fills up an entire living room with popcorn. Behind the scenes, YTV’s own on-air personality, Andy Chapman serves as the show’s Prankmaster adding non-stop laughs to the hi-jinks. Extreme Babysitting airs Mondays at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT beginning November 4.
MR. YOUNG
(FINAL FIVE EPISODES AND SERIES FINALE) In the final five episodes, Adam (Brendan Meyer) reflects on his experiences at Finnegan High as his students get ready to graduate. And when a new teacher threatens everything Adam’s achieved, including his budding relationship with Echo, he must work hard to try and turn the tables. But that’s not the only problem. Dang (Raugi Yu) has been called back to Vietnam to take over for Master Ki (Vincent Tong) as guardian of his village, prompting the gang to follow and convince him to return to Finnegan for graduation. While there, Adam discovers an ancient scroll that points to the mythical fountain of youth which, if found, could make Master Ki young again, releasing Dang from his duties. But to find the fountain, Adam must go up against Echo (Matreya Fedor) who is trying to preserve a leaf monkey habitat. Mr Young airs on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT. The special hour-long finale episode airs Thursday, November 28 at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT.
