KidVid: Here’s what’s coming up in childrens’ programming

I’m not sure what it has to do with Presidents’ Day, but that is the marketing tactic PBS Kids is using to get parents and their tots to tune in for three new episodes of “Curious George” Monday though Wednesday, Feb. 21-23 on PBS. The new episodes feature the mischievous monkey “imagining a world where everything is monkey-sized; building a soapbox derby racer; making a George-O-Matic dessert vending machine; and meeting some ewe-tiful sheep.”

TV by the Numbers has a press release from DisneyXD stating that its Mitchell Musso (“Hannah Montana”) vehicle, “Pair of Kings,” has been picked up for a second season. The second season will begin airing later this year.

“High School Musical” fans: TV Guide has posted an item with casting information about spin-off project “Madison High,” in which “HSM” drama director Ms. Darbus bolts for another school with another student body full of ridiculously-talented singers and dancers. Paul Hoen (“Camp Rock 2”) will direct the pilot episode. No word yet on a start date for the potential series.

Jack Black is returning to host Nickelodeon’s “Kids’ Choice Awards,” airing at 7 pm CT April 2.
