Cable TV ratings for November 21 - December 25, 2011.

Starting Monday, May 9, TeenNick will be changing their regular line-up by adding Buffy the Vampire Slayer and VICTORiOUS and bringing back Saved by the Bell.

Happy Thanksgiving from Nick and More! Here's a run-down of what's on TV today for the networks that we cover.

Back in August, Miranda Cosgrove tweeted about a special guest for her Nickelodeon show, iCarly. Funnyman Jack Black was the celeb she told us about and now we know when his episode, “iStart A Fan War,” will be: November 19th. In the epi, Black will face off against Spencer (Jerry Trainor) as mega gamers who go head to head in a cyber duel.

Not only will we get to see Black and Cosgrove reunite (the duo starred in the movie School of Rock,) there are also surprise cameos from Drake and Josh stars and Zoey 101 cast. Will we get to see Josh Peck, Drake Bell and Victoria Justice with Miranda, Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress? That would be awesome.

Must-see series, specials and movies are coming to Corus Entertainment’s kids networks this November with the YTV premieres of the new CGI animated series Babar and the Adventures of Badou, Season 2 of How to be Indie starring the Gemini nominated lead Melinda Shankar, and the blockbuster hit Kung Fu Panda starring Jack Black.

Leading kids’ broadcaster Corus Entertainment announced today details from its fall 2010 programming line ups for YTV, Nickelodeon (Canada) and Treehouse. Committed to providing viewers with quality content from preschool shows that parents trust, to entertaining live-action comedies and reality programming for kids and their families, to nighttime drama for teens, audiences at home can expect non-stop hits this fall.

Hope you all are enjoying the new layout up on the site featuring Miranda; I just love the purple it looks so fabulous! We are working on getting everything caught up on the site so stay tuned for more updates… at the moment I am working hard on the video vault and re-adding all of the videos we had up before so be sure to stop by the new Video Vault and check it out:

Nickelodeon received an early holiday ratings gift Friday as its Merry Christmas Drake & Josh original movie drew 8.1 million total viewers, a network record for a live action film.

The movie, which re-untied long-running Drake & Josh series stars Drake Bell, Josh Peck and Miranda Cosgrove, beat out the 7.6 million viewers generated by Nick’s Nov. 8 iGo To Japan telepic which also starred Cosgrove and is based on her popular iCarly series, according to Nick.

The movie also drew a network record 4.3 million kids 2-11 and ranked as the No. 1 entertainment show on cable for the week of Dec. 1 to Dec. 7, topped only by the 8.8 million viewers that tuned into ESPN’s Dec. 1 Jacksonville Jaguars-Houston Texans Monday Night Football contest.

Merry Christmas Drake & Josh also ranks as the number-three entertainment telecast with total viewers on cable for the year-to-date, behind only Nick’s Feb. 18 Fairly Oddbaby animated movie (8.8 million viewers) and Disney Channel’s June 20 original movie Camp Rock (8.9 million.)

I added photos of Miranda Cosgrove at the Nickelodeon Presents “Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh!” premiere, I can’t wait for this movie!! Be sure you watch Nickelodeon this Friday to watch Miranda Cosgrove in her breakout role of Megan!
