Joe Murray Reveals Details About Nickelodeon's "Rocko's Modern Life" TV Movie

Joe Murray, the creator of Nickelodeon's hit original animated series Rocko's Modern Life, has revealed what fans can expect to see in Nickelodeon's upcoming brand-new Rocko's Modern Life TV movie!

In a interview with Motherboard, Joe revealed that the made-for-television special will take place in real time, with Rocko returning to the O-Town of 2016 after 20 years spent drifting about in space. One thing the special will focus on is how little freedom everyone has from the tech platforms we've all come to rely on. Joe also revealed that the meme won't be making it in the show because the production team hope the special will be able to stand the test of time as well as the original run did. Naturally, though, Rocko will have to learn how to use the internet, and apparently Filburt and Heffer will both love smartphones and living in the appy ever after in the special.

Additionally, Joe announced on his personnel blog that the brand-new hour-long Rocko's Modern Life TV special that Rocko, Filburt and Heffer will have to deal with Modern Life in 2016, 2017 and 2018, and will feature lots of twists and turns.

Joe also revealed on his official blog that the Rocko's Modern Life TV movie will be co-directed by Cosmo Segurson, who was one of his directors on Camp Lazlo, that he has also brought in Tom Smith (former student of his and Storyboard guy at Stoopid Buddy studios) and South Park animator Dan Becker, who are both are HUGE Rocko fans, to work on the project, and that the storyboard for the special, which was split up between the four, has now been completed, with the movie now moving into production!

Nickelodeon Central And Eastern Europe To Premiere "Lost In The West" In September 2016

The Hungarian children's television news blog Gyerek-Világ is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon International news that Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will be premiering Lost in the West, Nickelodeon's brand-new three-part original TV movie, locally titled Vad kaland a Vadnyugaton, about two time-traveling stepbrothers who saddle up for a crazy Wild West adventure after they get transported back in time to 1885 when one of them accidentally invents a time machine, Sundays at 16.30 over three weeks in September 2016!

Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe will debut Lost in the West "Part 1" on Sunday 4th September 2016 at 16:30.

Saddle up for a Wild West adventure in Nickelodeon's all-new three-part original TV movie, Lost in the West! The film centres on polar opposite stepbrothers, Chip, an all-around tech genius who lacks self-confidence, and Dave, a charismatic ladies' man with more brawn than brains. Their otherwise ordinary lives take an extraordinary turn when Chip's latest invention accidently lands them back in time to 1885 - the Wild West - the age of cowboys, cattle ranching and evil outlaws. The duo soon become entangled in a thrilling adventure as they fight off evil outlaws to save their hometown. When their actions in the past have time-altering repercussions, Chip and Dave enlist the help of friends from both time periods, including Luna, Lisa and Texas Jane, so they can avoid changing the future and make it back to the present in time for their school's Homecoming Dance. The boys will need to master the ways of the west, from horse riding to lassoing, to find their way back home!

Lost in the West stars Caleb Thomas (Chase Champion, Modern Family) as Chip, Niko Guardado (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn) as Dave, Fallon Smythe as Lisa and Morgan Higgins as Texas Jane, and features an appearance by House of Anubis star Alex Sawyer.



Lost in the West is produced by Galdo Media and directed by Carlos Gonzalez (Big Time Rush). The TV movie is written by Kevin M. Brennan and Doug Manley.

First Look At "Power Rangers Ninja Steel"; To Premiere On Nickelodeon USA In January 2017

Saban today unveiled a super-charged first-look of Power Rangers Ninja Steel, the 24th season of the popular Power Rangers franchise, in a special trailer shown during a panel at Power Morphicon 2016 in Pasadena, CA! During the panel, Saban also revealed that Nickelodeon USA will start to premiere and show Power Rangers Ninja Steel in January 2017!:



At the end of the PMC 5 panel, fans got a first look at the show's cast!:

Will Shewfelt as Brody, the Red Ranger
Chrystiane Lopes as Sarah, the Pink Ranger
Chantz Simpson as Calvin, the Yellow RAnger
Zoe Robins as Hayley, the White Ranger
Peter Sudarso as Preston, the Blue Ranger

Fun fact about Peter Sudarso – he is actually the younger brother of Yoshi, who plays the Blue Ranger on Dino Super Charge. It's nice to see that a proud tradition of fighting evil runs in the family. But if a who's who of the new cast isn't enough, take a sneak peek at a brand new villain they'll be fighting when Ninja Steel premieres next year... Galvanax!:

Saban's Power Rangers Ninja Steel starts deep in space, where Zircon is the reigning champion of the most popular intergalactic game show in the universe, and monsters battle to prove who is the mightiest warrior. Zircon is determined to become invincible by controlling the mythical Spirit Crystal, which contains six supernatural Ninja Power Throwing Stars. The only thing standing in his way is a new team of heroic teenage Power Rangers who possess the Spirit Crystal. The evil Zircon sends his warrior contestants down to Earth to steal the Crystal, where each epic battle against the Rangers is broadcast throughout the universe. Together, the Rangers must master their arsenal of Throwing Stars, Zords and Megazords, each made of legendary ninja steel, in order to stop this evil threat and save our planet from destruction. The series will be based on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Toei's 39th ninja-themed Super Sentai special effects series in Japan.

Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, the current season of Power Rangers, continues with brand-new episodes every Saturday at 12/11c only on Nickelodeon USA starting August 20th. PRDSC will also make its UK debut on POP on Monday 5th September 2016.
