Disney channel: August Top 3 Highlights

August Top 3 Highlights


Kickin’ It

Premieres Saturday 25 August, 7pm on Disney Channel

This live-action comedy is set in a strip mall at the struggling Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy. As the worst dojo in the nationwide chain, the studio is in danger of closing until Sensei Rudy recruits a hotshot skateboarder named Jack, who reluctantly joins the dojo and teaches a group of neighbourhood kids -- tough guy and slacker Jerry, awkward yet confident Milton and the lovable, uncoordinated Eddie -- about life, karate and how to just plain kick it. This ragtag crew soon realizes their newfound friendship will take them places they never quite imagined and united, they can become unstoppable.


Starring: Hannah Montana’s Jason Earles as ‘Rudy’; Leo Howard as ‘Jack’; Mateo Arias as ‘Jerry’; Dylan Riley Snyder as ‘Milton’; Alex Christian Jones as ‘Eddie’; Olivia Holt as ‘Kim’

Season 3 premiere - Good Luck Charlie

Saturday 25th August, 6.30pm on Disney Channel

In Season three of the hit comedy series for the entire family, it's more diapers, bottles and bibs for the Duncans as they prepare to welcome the newest member of their family. The busy family of six, including working parents Bob and Amy, three teenagers, Teddy, PJ and Gabe, and ever active toddler, Charlotte (AKA Charlie), are all in for major changes with the arrival of the new baby. Along the way, older siblings PJ and Teddy navigate their changing lives with dates, high school graduation and job adventures, while Gabe embraces his position as the new middle child, and Charlie adjusts to not being the baby of the family anymore. Each episode continues to feature Teddy's video diary, one she creates for Charlie to use for advice after Teddy has grown up and moved out.

In the season 2 return of Scardey Squirrel, join a lovable, creative, and nerdy hero, as he tackles life’s daily challenges.

Comfortable in his fur, he makes no apologies for his idiosyncrasies and quirks, and that make him totally awesome. Scaredy lives in Balsa City, and has the perfect job for a creative squirrel with a touch of OCD: stacking cans into elaborate displays at the Stash n’ Hoard grocery store. In his spare time he is a huge paddleball fan and dreams of becoming the best paddler ever!
