TELETOON
TELETOON's winter schedule keeps the laughs coming with the addition of Packages from Planet X making its Canadian debut in the Can't Miss Thursdays lineup on Thursday, January 16 at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT. This series follows the misadventures of Dan Zembrosky and his two best friends, Amanda and Troll, as they repeatedly save the world from the extremely crazy side effects of the mysterious alien packages that they receive from Planet X, all while trying to keep them from the evil Copernicus who wants to use the packages towards an all-out alien invasion.

The Can't Miss Thursdays awesomeness continues with the premiere of the newest installment in the hit Total Drama franchise, Total Drama All-Stars on Thursday, January 9, with two back-to-back episodes beginning at 7 p.m. ET/PT. Total Drama All-Stars features the return of 14 previous cast members who face the most grueling challenges yet in order to compete for the one million dollar prize.

Launching on Wednesday, January 8 at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT, Season 2 of TELETOON Original Production Rocket Monkeys joins the TELETOON winter lineup and sees brothers Gus and Wally battle rogue black holes, vengeful alien and criminal masterminds and continue to wreak havoc on an intergalactic scale.

Superfans rejoice! Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. adds some serious muscle to TELETOON's Superfan Friday lineup this winter with the Canadian premiere on Friday, January 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT. Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. gives a whole new meaning to crime-fighting as Hulk, She-Hulk, Red Hulk, A-Bomb and Skaar join forces to tackle threats that no other superheroes can overcome.

Among other highlights, hilarious new prank-filled episodes of TELETOON Original series Just Kidding round out the weekly schedule on Sunday nights starting Sunday, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Johnny Bravo's character is the main event in this side-splitting series; he talks like Elvis, looks like James Dean and acts like Arthur Fonzarelli, but still lives with his mother.
