TORONTO – Popular Canadian children’s series Johnny Test will celebrate its 100th episode next month on Teletoon.
Since its debut on the network in 2006, Johnny Test has consistently proven to be a top performer in English and French, earning its reputation as one of Teletoon’s flagship shows, the network said. The series has been sold in over 200 countries and translated into 20 different languages including Korean, Portuguese, Chinese and Thai.
Produced by DHX Media, Johnny Test is an action-comedy extravaganza that chronicles the adventures of a fearless 11-year-old boy, his genetically engineered super-dog Dukey and his 13-year-old super-genius scientist sisters Susan and Mary. Using Johnny as their guinea pig, Susan and Mary strive to solve the trials and tribulations of adolescent angst with out-of-this-world scientific experiments.
“Teletoon loves Johnny and so does our audience,” said Carole Bonneau, VP of programming, in the news release. “Over the course of seven years, Johnny Test still boasts hit ratings in virtually every timeslot it has been scheduled in, but most of all – it is show of exceptional quality and it has helped put Canada on the map as a leader in kids animation.”
In the lead-up to the premiere of the 100th episode, which is scheduled for 7:30 pm ET/PT on November 20, Teletoon will broadcast a marathon of hit Johnny Test episodes beginning at 3 pm ET/PT. In addition, episodes from season 1 will air Tuesdays to Fridays at 5 pm ET/PT from November 1 to November 22, and two new Johnny Test games are set to launch on teletoon.com.
