Our Little Genius, Sprout

Actor Kevin Pollak will host Fox's new kid-centric game show Our Little Genius. The series, which challenges kids that are expects in select areas, will makes its debut on Wednesday, January 13 as the lead-out to American Idol and then find its permanent home the following Tuesday, January 19 at 9p.

Mark Burnett Productions and Zoo Productions are the producers behind the Our Little Genius game series. Pollak is best known for his roles in the movies A Few Good Man, The Usual Suspects and Casino, with upcoming movies including playing opposite Bruce Willis in Kevin Smith's A Couple of DICS and Middle Men with Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi.

Given the time slots, the series is more likely for adults which is good because most average kids don't likely want to watch genius kids on a regular basis.

Hit Entertainment teams with Sprout, the 24/7 preschool TV, on demand and online destination, to launch Let's Grow, a DVD series that will focus on life skills and lessons for preschoolers.

The new line will feature themed DVDs comprised of episodes of Hit Entertainment series, such as Barney, Bob the Builder, Thomas & Friends, among others, and tied together by live-action interstitial segments starring hosts from Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment, a longtime distributor of Hit's home entertainment, will release the first DVD title, Lend a Helping Hand on January 12, 2010, followed by a second title in 2Q 2010. Additionally, each DVD will come with a parent resource guide including information and suggestions that correspond with the theme of that DVD.
