Mike the Knight (26 x 30). Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. Premieres Sept. 8.
In the medieval land of Glendragon lives Mike, a boy with a big future. The son of the King and Queen, Mike is determined to grow up to be a great and noble knight, just like his dad. This brave hero is joined on his knightly missions by his companions Squirt and Sparkie—two extraordinary and eccentric dragons—and his trusty steed Galahad. Mike’s sister Evie, a trainee wizard, often tries to lend a hand, even though her spells often hinder rather than help her brother’s progress! Along the way, Mike discovers the power of responsibility and doing things the right way, abiding by his triumphant motto of “Be a knight, do it right!” (Produced by Nelvana Studio and HIT Entertainment)

Set to a soundtrack of catchy, educational pop songs, Bubble Guppies explores a wide range of topics, from dentists and dinosaurs, to rock & roll and recycling. In each episode, the characters lead the learning process, discovering something of interest on their way to school and exploring that theme from a variety of angles.

Navigating the ups and downs of growing up in Celesteville’s royal palace, Badou never forgets that his grandfather King Babar will always be there to offer guidance and support.
