Bella and the Bulldogs -- premieres Wednesday, March 18, at 7 p.m. ET/PT

Head cheerleader Bella's life takes an unexpected twist when her amazing throwing arm takes her from the sidelines to becoming the starting quarterback of her Texas middle school football team, the Bulldogs. In this new comedy, Bella Dawson, a confident, caring and talented teenager, suddenly finds herself fulfilling a lifelong dream but also having to navigate the world of her teammates Troy, Sawyer and Newt, without losing her two best friends, Pepper and Sophie, from the cheer squad.

The Stanley Dynamic -- premieres Thursday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT

The Stanley Dynamic, a hilarious multicam sitcom centres around the Stanleys, a normal family with one big twist -- one of their twin sons is animated. The 14-year-old twins, Larry and his cartoon twin brother Luke, navigate their first year of high school and try to fit in. Luke prefers to stay under the radar, but his ability to stretch his body like a wad of gum keeps him in the spotlight, while Larry's love of attention constantly backfires and results in him getting into a lot of trouble. Luckily, the twins have the support of their little sister, their mom and their cartoonist dad, who chronicles the family's adventures in his on-line comic strip. Together the Stanleys juggle home life, school and work in a way that stretches their relationship with each other and the world in all kinds of unexpected ways.

Kids' Choice Countdown -- Saturday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT

YTV will debut its first-ever live preshow leading up to the 28th Annual Kids Choice Awards, with The Zone's Carlos reporting direct from the orange carpet in Los Angeles.

Audience members and viewers at home will be able to share their countdown moments using hashtag YTVKCALive for the chance to be selected for customized social shoutouts.
