Special Agent Oso

 

Mel Brooks, Rebecca Romijn, Jenna Elfman, Doris Roberts, Freddy Rodriguez and Sarah Chalke will guest star in new episodes of Disney Junior‘s Emmy-nominated series, “Special Agent Oso,” beginning MONDAY, APRIL 4 (1:00-1:30 p.m. ET/PT) on Disney Channel. The star-studded week of new episodes includes Brooks as a sleepy grandpa, Romijn as a helpful department store clerk, Elfman as a safety-conscious mom, Roberts as a forgiving grandma, Rodriguez as a health-conscious dad and Chalke as a preschool director. Academy Award-nominee Sean Astin stars as the voice of Special Agent Oso, a fuzzy, lovable, bumbling stuffed panda bear special agent-in-training who enlists the help of viewers at home to complete his missions.

Comedy legend Brooks said of his guest role: “I did ‘Special Agent Oso’ because my five-year-old grandson Henry watches the show and I wanted to surprise him with an appearance.”

Since the launch of Disney Junior on February 14, “Special Agent Oso’s” weekday 1:00 p.m. telecast is up 150% from the year-ago time period average with Kids 2-5. Its weekday 6:30 a.m. telecast ranks No. 1 in the time period, up 38% from last year and defeating Nick Jr. by 57%. [Source: MNR L+SD Averages (2/14/11-2/28/11; note SAO did not air on 2/21/11)]
