Cartoon Network Orders More Hole in the Wall

ATLANTA: Cartoon Network has commissioned new episodes of the game show Hole in the Wall and live-action series Dude, What Would Happen, as well as a third season of Destroy Build Destroy.

In Hole in the Wall, which is hosted by former MTV Real World-star Teck Holmes, two teams of families compete as they face down a series of moving walls through which players have to contort their bodies. The show has been number one in its time slot with boys 6 to 11 and 9 to 14.

Meanwhile, Destroy Build Destroy and Dude, What Would Happen have been the top-ranked series in their time slots with boys 2 to 11, 6 to 11 and 9 to 14 since they premiered in fall 2010.

The shows, which all air on Wednesday nights, have driven Cartoon Network’s double-digit delivery growth versus last year with kids and boys 6 to 11 and 9 to 14.

"The tremendous success of these three unique shows has made Wednesday-night appointment viewing," said Rob Swartz, the VP of original series for Cartoon Network. "Hole in the Wall, Dude, What Would Happen and Destroy Build Destroy bring to life the fun, funny, and irreverence of Cartoon Network and we are pleased to continue to bring our audience the alternative shows they are so clearly enjoying."
