As a total movie buff, I’m already hooked on this new music-themed comedy! It’s a series that goes back to the beginning, showing us how Posey Parker, Jade, and Tulip Aoki-this amazing pop trio-first met in high school. It’s really cool to see how their friendship slowly turned into a performing group. The cast is fantastic too – you’ve got Lumi Pollack, Carmen Sanchez, Ruby Marino, and Nathaniel Buescher all bringing the energy. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!

The series was brought to life by Eric Friedman, Alex Fox, and Rachel Lewis, with Eric Friedman leading the creative direction as showrunner. Original music for the show was overseen by Diane Warren, who served as an executive producer. Jody Margolin Hahn directed the first episode and also took on the role of executive producer.

The show captures discoveries as they happen, combining on-site work with expert analysis. It provides a real-time look at the process of uncovering Egypt’s past. Researchers are working hard to understand the lives of those who came before us.

I’ve been really enjoying this series, which is made by Windfall Films. I’ve learned so much from the amazing Egyptologists who’ve been featured, like Salima Ikram and Colleen Darnell. Indira Varma’s narration is just perfect! It’s great to know that experienced producers like Neil Laird, Carlo Massarella, Jane McGoldrick, and Dan Kendall have been overseeing things across all the seasons – it really shows in the quality of the show. You can find more information about the show here.

This animated series is made up of short, funny scenes. It features Disney characters-frequently from ‘Big City Greens’-having scripted phone conversations. The voice cast includes Chris Houghton as Cricket Green, Marieve Herington as Tilly Green, and Artemis Pebdani as Gramma Alice.

I recently checked out these shorts, and they come from the team at Disney Television Animation. It’s interesting to note that Jenna Hicks produced them, and Daniel Siegel served as the story editor throughout the different sets of episodes. What’s really neat is that these episodes are designed to be viewed in any order – you don’t need to watch them sequentially, which is a fun approach!
