New Show on Nickelodeon: Mighty B

The new show called Mighty B premieres on Nickelodeon tomorrow April 26, 2008, at 10:30am Eastern Time. This new show is an animated show is about Bessie Higgenbottom, who is a member of the Honeybees. The Honeybees are a Girl Scout type group. Bessie is the leader of her troop and is known as the one who has earned the most Bee Badges ever. She has not gotten all of the Bee Badges, yet, thus she is still on a mission to get more badges. It appears this show is about her adventures in pursuing her goal to get all the Bee Badges. As she goes for the badges she imagines she is a superhero called Mighty B, hence the name of the show.
Other characters include Portia, who is a rich girl that does like the word no and has a high class worldly taste, Penny, who is portrayed as Portia and Bessies’s dumb friend, and Happy, who is Bessie’s dog. The only male main character appears to be Benjamin, who is Bessie’s scaredy cat little brother.
This sounds like a potentially interesting show for girls. I, however, am not seeing it as being able to appeal to boys. As for the age group I think this will appeal to I am thinking grade school kids, such as Brownie aged girls. Definitely see this as a show for girls into the whole Girl Scout thing, but I really wonder how wide the appeal for this show can be beyond that. It will be interesting to see at least the first episode and see exactly how the show plays out. Depending on how much screen time Benjamin gets there may be some appeal for boys preschool aged.
