- Brand-new 52-Episode Animated Series Features a World Made By Pets, For Pets Beginning Saturday, April 14 at 12/11c -

(Miami, FL) - Who's a good boy? Today, Discovery Family announced LITTLEST PET SHOP: A WORLD OF OUR OWN, an all-new 52-episode animated series produced by Allspark Animation, a Hasbro Company, premiering Saturday, April 14 at 12/11c with two back-to-back episodes. New 11-minute episodes of the series will stream live on Discovery Family GO and will also be available on demand the following day.

Inspired by Discovery Family's 2012 hit series LITTLEST PET SHOP, "A World of Our Own" reveals a completely overhauled pet-centric world where even the littlest pet is treated like the greatest king! Pets (especially the really good ones) gain access to the Littlest Pet Shop in Paw-Tucket via a magical portal that spans between the human and pet world. Once they arrive, pets from all walks of life near and far come to celebrate who they are, with a ton of fun along the way! Featuring ski slopes operated by St. Bernards, "Pet-Ultimate" apartments with pet-appropriate accommodations (lots of perches, cardboard boxes and rooms furnished in rawhide) and the relaxing "Shake 'n' Dry" beauty salon where cats walk on your back, Paw-Tucket is a pet utopia full of purr, pounce and organic dog bones.

LITTLEST PET SHOP: A WORLD OF OUR OWN follows the many adventures of six cool and very different friends: Roxie, a lovable, supremely optimistic Boston Terrier; Jade, a Bombay short-hair with tons of catitude; Trip, a sweet-spirited hamster macho goofball; Quincy, an anxiety-prone, risk-averse fainting pygmy goat; Edie, a parakeet whose personality is a reflection of the 14-year-old drama-queen girl she lives with, and Bev, a cheerful, positive and supportive box turtle with a proclivity for self-improvement - she wants to be the best Bev she can be!

In the back-to-back season premiere episodes titled "A Pet's Best Friend Is... " and "Pet, Peeved," Roxie lands the dream gig of house sitting for mega pop-star Savannah, only to be bombarded by Paw-Tucket's snobbiest pets. Jade warns Roxie that the pets are only using her to have a party, but Roxie disregards the warning and has to learn the hard way whether or not Jade is correct. Later, when their "odd couple" differences become a problem, Roxie becomes determined to be a better roommate.

[via press release from Discovery Family Channel] AMATEUR HOME RENOVATORS COMPETE FOR THE PRIZE OF A LIFETIME IN THE RETURN OF "GAME OF HOMES" ON DISCOVERY FAMILY BEGINNING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 AT 10/9c

- Season Two of GAME OF HOMES Guides Four Pairs of Contestants as They Compete for a New Home and a Plot of Land to Put it on -

(Miami, FL) - The competition renovation series GAME OF HOMES returns to Discovery Family on Monday, September 4 at 10p/9c for an eight-episode second season featuring new homes, new contestants and a brand-new host. This season, Dave Salmoni (Pet Nation Renovation) guides four teams of amateur home renovators as they attempt to save dilapidated houses that are destined for the wrecking ball and revive them room by room into their dream homes. But before the competition even begins, the houses are ripped from their foundations and ceremoniously transferred to the epic 70,000-square-foot GAME OF HOMES arena. Here, the teams will completely renovate the run-down structures while living inside their slowly improving homes for eight weeks where they must cope with small budgets, tight deadlines and even tighter living spaces!

In each hour-long episode, two expert judges along with celebrity guest judges including Cheryl Torrenueva (Discovery Family's Reno, Set, Go!) and Jillian Harris (The Bachelor, The Bachelorette), vote for their favorite room renovations based on design and workmanship. At the end of the series, the winning couple is awarded with the house they have painstakingly renovated with all the furniture inside and a plot of land to put it on!

This season, the competitors must deal with hidden surprises, lack of sleep and mounting frustrations as they tirelessly renovate every room in the house -- from kitchens to bathrooms and even exteriors. With action-packed design challenges, amidst timelines spanning from just 24 to 72 hours to complete, GAME OF HOMES pits each team's skills, ingenuity and teamwork against each other in the name of crafty design.

GAME OF HOMES is produced by Great Pacific Media and distributed exclusively worldwide by Beyond Distribution. For Great Pacific Media, Blair Reekie is the series producer.
