TELETOON Picks Up Additional Fresh TV Episodes

TORONTO, September 25:
TELETOON has ordered more episodes of two Fresh TV animated programs geared
toward tweens and teens, Total Drama, the Musical and Stoked.

Fresh TV’s unconventional
“reality” cartoon series Total Drama will now take on a new musical spin with Total Drama, the Musical. This third season will follow the successful
first season, Total Drama Island,
and the yet-to-air second season of Total Drama Action. Total Drama, the Musical takes 15 contestants all over the globe to compete
in outrageous and embarrassing challenges and break into spontaneous musical
numbers.

Stoked, which will premiere on TELETOON in the spring
2009, will now include 52 episodes, up from the previously announced 26-episode
order. The program is an animated situation comedy about teens who come
together one summer to work at world renowned Surfer’s Paradise Resort, home of
the best surfing in the country. For 12 weeks they will spend their first
summer away from home working hard and surfing on their days off.

“TELETOON is a perfect fit
for our shows, and we are ecstatic about continuing our partnership with these
great series,” said Tom McGillis, the executive producer at Fresh TV. “We are
committed to building on the success of Total Drama Island by providing cutting-edge material that resonates
with the TELETOON audience.”
