Pitch S1
Monday, 3 October at 21:00 CAT
Repeats
Wednesday, at 22:00 CAT
From executive producers Dan Fogelman (Cars, Crazy, Stupid, Love) and Rick Singer (Younger), PITCH is the dramatic and inspirational story of a young pitcher who becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball. A beautiful, tough and gifted athlete, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury, Under the Dome) is vaulted into instant fame when she’s called up by the San Diego Padres to make her Major League debut.
Like any rookie, Ginny must prove herself to her teammates. Foremost among them is Mike Lawson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Franklin & Bash, NYPD Blue), the team’s ruggedly handsome star catcher. There’s instant chemistry between them, although neither dares to admit it. After all, Mike is captain of the team and a few of his players don’t even want Ginny on the field. One of the players watching Ginny’s back is centre fielder Blip Sanders (Mo McRae, Sons of Anarchy), an old friend from the minor leagues, and his wife Evelyn (Meagan Holder, You Again, Bring it On: Fight to the Finish).

Guiding her is her agent/confidante, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter, Legends, Heroes). Amelia saw Ginny’s star potential early on and left her previous job as a Hollywood publicist to concentrate on the young phenom, bringing along her young assistant Eliot (Tim Jo, The Neighbors). Although groomed for this moment by her demanding father, Bill Baker (guest star Michael Beach, Sons of Anarchy), the end of Ginny’s improbable journey is the beginning of an almost impossible one: representing her gender as she embarks on a successful baseball career under the glare of the white-hot media spotlight.
The team’s manager, Al Luongo (Dan Lauria, The Wonder Years, Sullivan and Sons) and general manager Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos, All My Children) bicker over whether Ginny’s presence on the field is in the team’s best interests.
Playing in the major leagues is a goal hard enough for anyone to achieve – except this player is also a woman, who happens to be the most important historical figure in sports since Jackie Robinson. This season, Ginny Baker will be the other woman trying to break into one of the oldest and most exclusive men’s clubs in the country.

We Had Laughs And Epic Moments With Our Cartoon Network Superstars But Sadly Their Journey Ends Now

As viewers across the continent are aware, series are drawing to a conclusion on Cartoon Network. We had laughs and epic moments to remember but they will always be in our hearts.

The list of series comes as follows:

Regular Show
The news following the announcement of Regular Show ending, which ran for a successful eight seasons joining another show which also reached its milestone and that’s Adventure Time. Regular Show was the one show apart from other series (like The Amazing World Of Gumball) that made the most impact on people's lives and was one of the main reasons why viewers began watching Cartoon Network again, it had that Adult Swim Vibe. The show follows Mordecai (a blue jay) and Rigby (a raccoon) are two groundkeepers who work at the park with their boss Benson, they spend their times slacking of from work, playing videos and enjoying the good times along with their friends. It sad to see it come to this epic final moment.
Reported by Mark Hamill (Voice as Skips)
Get ready for Season 8 by J.G Quintel (Creator of Regular Show/Voices as Mordecai)

The Amazing World Of Gumball - Uncertain
Ben Bocquelet, creator of The Amazing World of Gumball announced that he will be leaving the show’s production team after Season Six to pursue other projects. The departure of Ben Bocquelet at the end of season six casts a shadow of doubt about the future of the show. The show will end at the end of season six, but there is still a chance that it can continue or be revived at a later stage. Gumball will always be remembered for its wide array of art styles, imaginative cast of characters and the cheeky mischievous antics of a blue cat named Gumball Watterson and his unusual (but at times normal) dysfunctional family.
A total of six seasons is an excellent run for an animated series, with most Cartoon Network classics in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s such as Dexter’s Laboratory and Cow and Chicken only had four seasons.

Adventure Time - Not yet
Follows the adventures of Finn the Human and his best friend Jake the Talking and Magic Dog, together they fight monsters, rescue princesses and protect the Land of Ooo from grave danger. From the beginning of the series it was the best show so far than Regular Show until the series viewership began decreasing and fading little by little in the schedule as time goes by in regions.

Teen Titans GO! - Maybe
A comedic educational animated series which follows the adventures of Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven are back wackier as ever as they juggle it out to save Jump City and get into some foolish and tricky situations. It ran for 3 Seasons with an NBA special and crossover special with The Powerpuff Girls. There is no confirmation of a fourth season being released.

Steven Universe - Not yet
Steven Universe is a member of an elite force known as the Crystal Gems whose main mission is to fight monsters and protect humanity. From the beginning I hardly watched but as flew by it became more fun to watch. It ran for two seasons.

Uncle Grandpa
The other show that will end is Uncle Grandpa, this show had four seasons, but never got a buzz. It didn't really get viewer's attention, hardly anyone understood its purpose. It has been underrated for a while (like Clarence). This show displayed the surreal, nonsensical and unexpected humour but sadly it didn’t reach the same level of interest as Adventure Time, Regular Show and The Amazing World Of Gumball.

Clarence - Theory
Even though I hardly pay much attention to the show from my understanding it is about a 10 year old boy who explores the wonder of the world with his close comrades. Ran for two seasons, this series is also underrated but worse than Uncle Grandpa. The series struggled to reach the spotlight and voted as number one underperforming show on Cartoon Network (along with Uncle Grandpa and Wimpy Kid). So many problems when the series began production.

Cartoon Network Studios have lots of ideas for the future, a whole list of shows have come and gone within the channel’s 24 year history and it continues to win Emmys and BAFTAs for producing excellent shows; it’s certain that the trend will continue. These shows will be gone but they won’t be forgotten.

Cartoon Network is currently premieres Ben 10 internationally in October (ahead with the U.S. while they premiere it in April 2017), Mighty Magiswords premieres 29 September on Cartoon Network USA later across Cartoon Network international along with Justice League Action while Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs: The Series Comes In 2017 On Cartoon Network USA and Boomerang Internationally (Latin America, CEE, APAC and EMEA).

So far Boomerang will be premiering Grizzly and The Lemmings with Mr Bean Live successfully launched and The Happos Family. Probably in 2017 Cartoon Network and Boomerang will make the necessary announcements for new programs and distribute programs which launched way back (Talking Tom and Friends) because there is still no news on programming slate for 2017 on Cartoon Network and Boomerang besides the launch of Cloudy With The Chance Of Meatballs: The Series.

Special thanks to entertainment kids blogs Regularcapital for your contribution which Cartoon Network channels in and out of the country.

Joburg's Brightest Young Sparks To Battle It Out For Title Of Nickelodeon Genius 2017

Joburg’s brightest kids are set to battle it out in the upcoming Gauteng South heat of Nickelodeon’s Genius brought to you by ABSA.

Tasania Parsadh, Channel Director, Nickelodeon, Africa commented “We are very excited to kick off Nickelodeon’s Genius here in Gauteng South:  We are expecting a colourful, loud, exciting and fun-packed2 days with lots of future Einsteins and Hawkings taking part. To come this far, the contestants have already shown they are not short on grey matter, so the key conundrum is: do they have what it takes to go to the next level?”

All the participants will enjoy a challenging but fun two-day workshop where they will have to complete a variety of challenges including maths quizzes, experiments and problem solving tasks. Time will be their biggest enemy, as trios of bright young teens and pre-teens go head-to-head in mind bending battles of wits and smarts.

At the end of the 2 days, two teams from Gauteng South will make it through to the Nickelodeon Genius TV series, where they they will go up against teams from all over South Africa.

Nickelodeon’s Genius is powered by ABSA MegaU, and supported by the Government’s Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST).  The winners will receive an amazing prize: a ZAR 100,000 ABSA MegaU account for each member of the winning team and an unforgettable visit to NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, USA - where the winners will eat lunch with a real, live astronaut – and a trip to Universal Studios! The winning schools will receive books and educational material worth ZAR 50,000, courtesy of Cambridge Publishing.

Initial highlights of Nickelodeon’s Genius regional heats and workshops will air on NickToons (DStv 308) from December 2016, while the quiz show will air on NickToons from March 2017.
