«В этом году, когда компания Grupo Lomas отмечает свой 40-летний юбилей, нет лучшего способа отпраздновать это событие, чем открыть этот новый комплекс, что в очередной раз подтверждает наш интерес к Мексике и продолжает процесс капиталовложения и создания рабочих мест со ставкой на самые прогрессивные гостиничные концепции во всем мире, способствующие укреплению ведущих позиций Мексиканских Карибов», — заявила председатель Совета директоров компании Grupo Lomas Долорес Лопес Лира (Dolores López Lira).

США на одного человека в сутки, включающие неограниченный доступ в Aqua Nick®, трансферы из аэропорта и в аэропорт, а также полный пакет обслуживания World-Class Gourmet Inclusive®.

'P is full of Pride': Blue's Clues & You's New Alphabet Song Recognizes LGBTQ+ Community

Blue is teaching kids about LGBTQ Pride.


Blue of Blue's Clues & You said "LGBTQ rights!" In her own way.

Nickelodeon's beloved preschool series, a successor to the popular Blue's Clues on Nick Jr., is gaining a lot of attention this week for a new alphabet song it released online on Thursday, February 11.

In the video, Blue (voiced by Traci Paige Johnson) wants to sing a song about all 26 letters of the alphabet, and viewers at home are paying attention to the entry for letter "P."


"P is full of Pride," as the song goes. The letter is accompanied not just by a rainbow letter "P," representing the colors of the LGBTQ+ pride flag, but it's surrounded by multiple other flags representing specific communities. Those include flags for the trans community, asexual community, pansexual community, intersex community, gender-fluid community, and more.

A rep for Nickelodeon confirmed to EW that "ABC Song w/ Blue!" is exclusive to the show's official YouTube channel and hasn't aired on television. It's currently unknown whether the short will air on TV at a later date.

The inclusion is already resonating online, with many on Twitter showing their support and love for the moment.


Broadway actor Joshua Dela Cruz stars as the host of Blue's Clues & You, succeeding original Blue's Clues hosts Steve Burns (Steve) and Donovan Patton (Joe). In the show, Cruz plays Josh, Steve and Joe's cousin. Both Burns and Patton appear regularly in the revival, reprising their respective roles.

Nickelodeon, as a network, voiced support for the LGBTQ community in the past. Last year, Nick Jr. shared a lesson over its social media platforms so kids could understand the meaning of the LGBTQ flag.


Nickelodeon proper also shared a tweet that caught attention as it appeared to confirm SpongeBob SquarePants to be a member of the LGBTQ community with Korra from The Legend of Korra and Schwoz Schwartz from Henry Danger and Danger Force. Michael D. Cohen, who plays Schwartz,  revealed in a interview with Time in 2019 that he had transitioned 20 years ago.



Watch the "ABC Song" in the video above.

Blue & Magenta (or Blugenta) is the ultimate ship!


Kids can watch their favorite Nick Jr. shows weekdays on Nickelodeon and all week long on the Nick Jr. channel: http://nickjr.com/tvschedule/

Malia Baker On Nickelodeon’s ‘Are You Afraid Of The Dark’: ‘The Adults Who Watched The Original Series Can Pass This Down To Their Kids’


The star of Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Curse of the Shadows on Nickelodeon talks with CBS Local's DJ Sixsmith about rebooting the 90s hit, being a kid actor and her love for Robin Williams.

Malia Baker On Nickelodeon’s ‘Are You Afraid Of The Dark’: ‘The Adults Who Watched The Original Series Can Pass This Down To Their Kids’

(CBS Local)– The Midnight Society is back for season two of “Are You Afraid of the Dark” on Nickelodeon. The new season begins on Friday, February 12 and actor Malia Baker is excited for fans to check out all of the crazy things that are about to happen this year.

The popular 1990s hit was rebooted in 2019 with a brand new cast and the show tells the story of a group of kids calling themselves the Midnight Society that meets and tells horrifying stories to one another. Their love of horror stories is put to the test when the real world starts to become as spooky as their stories. Baker plays Gabby Lewis and she is excited to have the runway to develop this character.

“The experience was amazing and it was my first little taste of the horror genre,” said Baker, in an interview with CBS Local’s DJ Sixsmith. “It was such a great opportunity to grow and see the other work I can do. The most surprising thing was that I thought it was going to be scarier on set. I play Gabby who is a smiley, sporty town sweetheart and she is super over this town. On the weekends, she even has a job, so she can pay for college to get away from this town. I found with Gabby that I wanted to make her arc really clear. At the beginning she is very tight and doesn’t really want to have fun. She’s kind of like the mother of the group. She’s very rule-oriented and by the end, she finally lets loose. She’s able to be a kid and have some fun.”

Baker loved the opportunity to work with kids her own age after doing a few other shows where she was the youngest person on set. The actor’s father has worked in the film industry for years and she learned a lot from him before her career even began.

“I would hear stories about his set and how he climbed his way to almost the top,” said Baker. “It was very inspiring and I’ve been watching movies pretty much forever. Robin Williams is a huge inspiration of mine. I loved seeing him live his life to the fullest. Here I am and I think I’ve done a pretty good job so far and I’m hoping to progress in the future.”

The actor’s personal favorites from Williams are Good Will Hunting and Mrs. Doubtfire. Like these movies, the “Are You Afraid of the Dark” brand has lived on since it first premiered in the 90s. Baker definitely felt the added pressure of carrying on the legacy when she booked the role.

“It is such an honor. I remember feeling a little bit of pressure because it’s Are You Afraid of the Dark, it’s a huge thing,” said Baker. “Then I remember hearing on set that we were the 100th episode of all of the Are You Afraid of the Dark series’, which was even cooler to present to the world. I feel like it’s awesome because the adults that watched the original series are able to pass this show down to their kids.”

“Are You Afraid of the Dark” season two premieres Friday, February 12 at 8pm EST/PST on Nickelodeon and watch all of DJ Sixsmith’s interviews from “The Sit-Down” series here.

‘The Casagrandes’ Voice Actor Carlos PenaVega Says Latino Cartoon Characters Have ‘Become the Norm’

In the hit Nickelodeon animated series The Casagrandes , a spin-off of the animated series The Loud House, actor Carlos PenaVega (Big Time RushSpare Parts) lends his voice to the character Bobby Santiago, a teenager who moves into the city with his big, multigenerational family, the Casagrandes. As part of the extended family, Bobby helps his grandfather run the family store. But with 11 people under one roof, things are bound to get a little chaotic.

Stephany Torres for Remezcla; Nickelodeon.

While it took some time to get Latino characters in animated shows, aside from the problematic character Speedy Gonzales from the Looney Tunes gang, there have been a lot more examples in the last 20 years of TV studios realizing the importance of representation. This includes series like Taina, The Brothers Garcia, Dora the Explorer, El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, ¡Mucha Lucha!, Maya & Miguel, and Elena of Avalor, and characters like Soos Ramirez on Gravity Falls and Juan Pablo of Big City Greens, and many more.

“It’s become the norm,” PenaVega told Remezcla during a recent interview. “It’s so cool that we can have a show about this crazy Latin family. I think it’s so important. I’m excited to see that it’s happening more and more.”

PenaVega said he can relate to the Casagrandes because he, too, comes from generations of big Latino families. Although he currently lives with his family in Hawaii and doesn’t see his extended family as much as he would like, PenaVega has fond memories when he lived in Miami of being part of a cohesive family unit.

Nickelodeon

“We were like the Casagrandes,” he said. “Everyone was always going in and out and we were always willing to help each other. At the end of the day, everyone came to eat at the same table.”

PenaVega said he grew up watching Nickelodeon cartoons like Rocko’s Modern Life, Hey Arnold! and CatDog, so he’s looking forward to showing his own kids more of his animated show, especially since he doesn’t have to worry about anything happening that is too risqué.

“TV is really hard nowadays,” PenaVega said. “But I feel like The Casagrandes is a great safe place for kids.”

From LRMonline:

Carlos PenaVega On His Work On Nickelodeon’s Los Casagrandes And The Loud House [Exclusive Interview]

The magic of having a 9-year old as an adult is being able to stay in touch with cartoons and whatever else kids are into. It’s because of her that I ever really pay attention to cartoons on television. One of those shows that I was grateful to be introduced to is Nickelodeon’s The Loud House. Due to the popularity of this series, they were able to develop a spin-off to that series called, Los Casagrandes. This add’s the perspective of a Hispanic family in the mix of all the crazy daily adventures that we are used to.

Los Casagrandes follows 11-year-old Ronnie Anne, voiced by Izabella Alvarez. As well as her brother Bobby, voiced by Carlos PenaVega. The premise is that because of the fact that their father is working abroad in Peru, they move in with their multi-generational Mexican-American extended family above their Mercado. What is great about this series, is how well they integrate Latin culture without it feeling stereotypical. The many adventures of Bobby and Ronnie Anne for the most part feel like they could be part of any family.

Here is the synopsis for Nickelodeon’s The Casagrandes:

A new home in the city holds big adventures, laughs and love around every corner in Nickelodeon’s original animated series The Casagrandes. A spinoff of Nick’s animated hit The Loud House. The Casagrandes tells the story of 11-year-old Ronnie Anne. She moves to the city with her mom and older brother to live with their big, loving family, the Casagrandes. Starring Izabella Alvarez (Westworld) as 11-year-old Ronnie Annie. Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) as her brother Bobby. As well as Sumalee Montano (Nashville) as her mom Maria. The series showcases the culture, humor, and love that’s part of growing up in a multigenerational Mexican-American family. After moving in with their grandparents in Great Lakes City, Ronnie Anne adjusts to her new life living under one roof and over the family-run mercado (local market), which is a gathering place for everyone in the neighborhood.

Next Monday, Nickelodeon will be featuring a fun event for fans called, The Loud House Mega Music Countdown Special. Followed by the premiere of a new episode of Los Casagrandes titled, Meal Ticket. The Loud House event will be hosted by one of the stars of both series, Carlos PenaVega. Ahead of this, LRM Online had the opportunity to talk with PenaVega about it. As well as talk about what makes his character Bobby special, and what he hopes people can take away from Los Casagrandes. It’s a fun time! Be sure to check it out down below!


Nickelodeon’s The Loud House Mega Music Countdown Special airs on Monday, February 15th at 1:00 PM ET/PT. This followed by a new episode of Los Casagrandes at 1:30 PM ET/PT

 ###


Fans can also catch PenaVega hosting The Loud House Mega Music Countdown, a brand new compilation special counting down the best musical moments from The Loud House, premiering on Monday, February 15, 2021 on Nick.

Did Nickelodeon Cover Trump’s 2nd Impeachment? | Fact Check | Nickelodeon

Did Nickelodeon Cover Trump’s 2nd Impeachment?


No senators were slimed in the making of this satire.

On Feb. 10, 2021, as U.S. Rep. Jamie Haskin and the other House impeachment managers laid out their case in an effort to show that U.S. President Donald Trump had incited an insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, a photograph started to circulate online that supposedly showed Nickelodeon’s coverage of the historic event.

While this may have raised a few sceptical eyebrows for some (for others it was likely an obvious joke from the start), the second picture posted by comedian Jesse McClaren made it clear that these images were created in jest. The second photo shows Trump’s lawyer Bruce Castor covered in green slime.

A very telling sign that the images are fake is that they use an older version of the Nickelodeon logo.

However, Nickelodeon is not providing live coverage of Trump’s second impeachment trial, and the network did not digitally edit SpongeBob SquarePants into the Senate chamber, and they did not release any of their signature green slime on any politicians. The graphics are from Nickelodeon's recent coverage of a NFL Wild Card game and CBS' "Nick-ified" Super Bowl highlights, where popular characters from the network and it's iconic green slime were super-imposed into the game using augmented reality (AR) to attract a younger audience.

Nickelodeon, being aimed towards kids, is not known as being a news network. However, they do occasionally produce segments related to current events, and has covered political events in the past.

For more than two decades starting in 1992, Nickelodeon aired a Emmy-winning program called Nick News with Linda Ellerbee that covered a wide range of current affairs and topics, including sexism, global warming, hate crimes, being gay, and presidential elections. The original Nick News went off the air in 2015, when host Linda Ellerbee retired. However, the network rebooted Nick News as a multi-platform series in 2020, and has produced Nick News specials to talk to kids about racism (hosted by Alicia Keys) and for the network's Kids Pick The President initiative (hosted by Nick alum Keke Palmer, True Jackson, VP), as well as news segments for the network's social media channels. 

In January 2021, Nickelodeon produced two segments related to Trump’s second impeachment. The first covered the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6:


The second covered Trump’s impeachment:

The original Nick News received three Peabody Awards, including a personal award given to Ellerbee for explaining the impeachment of President Clinton to kids.

During Nickelodeon's "Kids' Vote" as part of Kids Pick the President 2020, in which kids were allowed to cast their virtual ballots on who they think should be the next president, the network detected cheating, when threads on right-wing online forums began discussing corrupting the Kids Pick the President site with fraudulent votes. Subsequently, more than 130,000 bot-generated votes were detected. Nickelodeon utilized a voter certification tool to identify these votes and to remove them, ensuring that only individually placed votes counted toward the total.

'Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows' Intro Teases Return of Iconic Character

That's SarDO! No mister; accent on the doh!


The opening titles for Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows tease the return of an iconic character from the original '90s Are You Afraid of the Dark? series!

Appearing at approximately 15 seconds into the intro, fans can spot a shop sign for Sardo's Magic Mansion, which, in the original '90s series, was owned by the mysterious and mischievous Sardo!


It's currently unknown what role Sardo will have in Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows, if any - it could just be an Easter Egg for long time fans of the series. however, we do know that one of the cast of the season season of the revival, Seth (Dominic Mariche) likes magic, and another scene from the intro teases a Ouija board.

One of the more significant recurring characters of the original series, Sardo, owner of "Sardo's Magic Mansion" (a magic shop). He would often attempt to sell a character a "prized" item, succeeding almost every single time. He often had items in his shop that contained real properties of magic, yet did not know until it was revealed in the story.

Richard M. Dumont as Sardo.

Additionally, when selling someone an item, he would often ask a rather high price. The main character would mention how much money they had, and Sardo would grab the money saying, "But I'm losing on the deal." Although he rarely got what he wanted, he would often end up helping the characters, often unintentionally.

Appearing in eight episodes, including "The Tale of the Super Specs," he mainly featured in Gary's (Ross Hull) stories, although in the later seasons, he appeared in two of Tucker's (Daniel DeSanto) and one of David's (Nathaniel Moreau).


One of the most memorable recurring jokes in the series occurred when someone would address him as "Mr. Sardo." He would then get irritated and exclaim: "That's SarDO! No mister; accent on the doh!"

In the original series, Sardo was portrayed by Canadian actor Richard M. Dumont. However, it's currently unknown whether Dumont will be reprising his fan-favorite role for season two of the revival.

Update (2/12) - In "Curse of the Shadows", Sardo is played by Ryan Beil.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows, the second season of Nickelodeon's beloved horror anthology series based on the '90s kids' cult classic, will premiere on Friday, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon, with new episodes of the six-part limited series airing every Friday night.

AMMF's ‘Cielito Lindo’ Mariachi Band Faces Eviction — But Neighbors Step Up To Help

Chicagoans have already raised nearly $5,000 for the family. "It almost doesn’t feel real," Juan Lucero said.

The Lucero family, who live in Ravenswood, make up "Cielito Lindo," a modern Mariachi band in Chicago.

RAVENSWOOD, Chicago — Chicagoans are stepping up to help the Luceros, the city’s “von Trapp” musical family, from being evicted.

As of Wednesday (Jan. 13) morning, 20 people had donated $4,750, but organizers hope to raise $30,000. The money will help the Luceros cover six months of unpaid back rent as well as future rent until they can begin earning regular income again, as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has dealt a major blow to their work.

The Luceros — father Juan, mother Susy and seven children — make up Cielilto Lindo, a mariachi folk band that has performed everywhere from Alcala’s Western Wear in West Town to Nickelodeon's stage in Los Angelos.

But in March, COVID-19 led to the cancellation of events and closing of theaters, cutting the family’s regular income by nearly half and imperiling their home.

The fundraiser organizer, Bob Farster, is a neighbor of the Luceros in Ravenswood. The family is very grateful to Farster and all the supporters who have donated thus far, Juan Lucero said.

“It almost doesn’t feel real,” he told Block Club Chicago. “Leaving Chicago is not an option. We’ve been here five years. Even with the pandemic, there’s nowhere else we want to be … . There’s nowhere else we can be ourselves.”


Cielito Lindo, which means “beautiful heaven” in Spanish, performs traditional Mexican music. The family’s seven children range in age from 7 to 18, with all living at home.

The family moved to Chicago from New Mexico five years ago. Susy Lucero grew up in Logan Square and Avondale, and the family felt they’d find more success as musicians in the city. They sold their house in New Mexico and moved all seven of their children to Lincoln Square. They eventually moved into their current home in Ravenswood.

Since moving to Chicago, the Luceros’ rise to fame has been rapid.

The family has performed at Bulls games, galas, street festivals and on television programs, including Nickelodeon's America’s Most Musical Family (under the name Lucero Garcia). They are routinely booked to perform at weddings, quinceañeras, birthday parties and other community events. Downtown businesses often book the band, too.


“I feel definitely Chicago … all of us as individuals, we can be ourselves here,” Lucero said. “It’s really easy to find your niche here in Chicago and be supported, find resources to be successful.”

But during the pandemic, the Luceros have pivoted to virtual performances. On Wednesday morning, hours after the GoFundMe was created, the family drove to the United Center, where they taped two performances of the National Anthem for upcoming Bulls events.

Zoom-based serenades begin at $50. The family performed several outdoor socially-distanced concerts this summer. A Venmo “tip jar” was established under the name @Juan-Lucero-77.

While every dollar helps, this income pales in comparison to what the family typically earns in a year, Lucero said.


“We’re grateful that we have some of our business left and some income left,” he said. “But unfortunately, as musicians and especially … as musical families go, it’s not enough. We were basically barely making it beforehand.”

Going into 2020, the family had finally gotten to a place where they could begin saving for a home. But with the pandemic, that money started going straight to bills, Lucero said.

If the Luceros are evicted, nine people who are dedicated to helping Chicago will be without a home, Farster wrote on the online fundraiser.

“After generously spreading joy and lifting people up through their music for years, now, the family — which has been likened to the von Trapps — is left needing help,” Farster said. “We can’t stand by and let this happen to this remarkable family.


“Through our years of friendship, I can honestly say that these are the nicest people you will ever meet. The kids are so polite, so smart and so hardworking. The parents are kind, generous, talented and, right now, uncertain about what’s next.”

Update (2/12) - From Block Club Chicago:

Chicagoans Raise $64,750 To Save Cielito Lindo Mariachi Family From Eviction: ‘It Still Feels Surreal’

"To know that there are lots and lots of people out there that are so generous ... that gives you hope that you really can get through this year."

RAVENSWOOD — The Luceros, Chicago’s “von Trapp” musical family, said they are grateful for the love and support they’ve received during a fundraiser to keep them from being evicted.

When Block Club initially reported on the fundraiser last month, 20 people had donated $4,750 toward the campaign. But more than $64,000 has been raised as of Wednesday.

The money will cover six months of unpaid back rent and has secured several months of future rent for the family, who lost a majority of their income due to the pandemic.

“A lot of people that I know and that I don’t know are giving so much,” said Maya Lucero, 10, who sings and plays maracas for the family band. “And not just in money, in other ways, too. … It’s just so nice to have something lighten up your year. Hopefully this can lighten up everybody’s year, too. To know that there are lots and lots of people out there that are so generous … that gives you hope that you really can get through this year.”

The Luceros — father Juan, mother Susy and seven children — make up Cielilto Lindo, a mariachi folk band that has performed everywhere from Alcala’s Western Wear in West Town to Nickelodeon’s stage in Los Angeles.

But in March, COVID-19 led to the cancellation of events and closing of theaters, cutting the family’s regular income by nearly half and imperiling their home.

The fundraiser organizer, Bob Farster, is a neighbor of the Luceros in Ravenswood.

The news coverage of the GoFundMe didn’t just bring in donations, Juan Lucero said. One neighbor offered an empty unit in his apartment building to the family if they needed a place to stay. Another offered their car.

“It still feels surreal,” Lucero said. “A lot of people had an emotional reaction to the story. That’s pretty cool.”

Many have signed up for Cielito Lindo’s virtual services. The family upgraded their equipment to provide better streaming technology.

“We got a flood of calls. We’re still getting calls, way more than we would otherwise,” Lucero said. “That’s really helped out the business, doing more virtual services.”

Cielito Lindo, which means “beautiful heaven” in Spanish, performs traditional Mexican music. The family’s seven children range in age from 7 to 18, with all living at home.

The family moved to Chicago from New Mexico five years ago. Susy Lucero grew up in Logan Square and Avondale, and the family felt they’d find more success as musicians in the city. They sold their house in New Mexico and moved all seven of their children to Lincoln Square. They eventually moved into their current home in Ravenswood.

Since moving to Chicago, the Luceros’ rise to fame has been rapid. 

The family has performed at Bulls games, galas, street festivals and on television programs, including Nickelodeon’s “America’s Most Musical Family.” They are routinely booked to perform at weddings, quinceañeras, birthday parties and other community events. Downtown businesses often book the band, too.

But during the pandemic, the Luceros had to pivot to virtual performances.

Going into 2020, the family had finally gotten to a place where they could begin saving for a home. But with the pandemic, that money started going straight to bills, Lucero said. 

Facing eviction made Lucero realize how many neighbors could be on the cusp of homelessness. The pandemic significantly affected the performing arts community, as venues and theaters are closed and events have been canceled.

Lucero said he’d like to encourage more Chicagoans to check in on their neighbors and see if they’re doing alright.

He also hoped those who are struggling, especially other artists and performers, can lean on their neighbors for support.

“Let their community know. Don’t be shy. … Many of us are going through these things,” he said. “It’s wonderful that the people who can help are reaching out to help.”
