Fun on DStv’s School of Laughter, 17-23 September
New kids’ series & episodes this week from The Astronauts, to the Chicken Squad
Whether your kids are at the stage where their shows are pure “aww” or pure anarchy, they’re all welcome to take a seat in DStv’s School of Laughter.
The Scooby-Doo and The Mystery Machine gang get a reboot for a new generation in the animated film Scoob!, which airs this week in M-Net’s (DStv channel 101) Saturday kids’ blockbuster slot.
And little kids can learn some social and problem-solving skills along with The Chicken Squad and all-new episodes of Bluey, while older kids can enjoy the rapid-fire jokes and craziness of new Ninja Express episodes.
Watch, laugh and learn with even more children’s shows and movies on DStv.
