Nickelodeon is stepping up efforts to compete with the Disney Channel for your time and viewership. The cable channel is giving the go-ahead to more shows with live actors versus animated series. Now that Drake and Josh and Zoey 101 have ended, Nickelodeon is trying to fill that gap and help their very popular iCarly  and True Jackson, VP by surrounding it with other teen oriented shows. The new series ‘The Troop’ has some sci-fi and action adventure to keep you tuned in.

“Troop,” [...] follows Jake (Nick Purcell), a typical teenager struggling through adolescence who dreams of creating his own comic book. When his school counselor (John Marshall Jones) recruits him into the Troop — a secret society that protects the world from the monsters that walk among us — Jake suddenly discovers a whole new existence. He teams with the smart, athletic and popular Hayley (Gage Golightly) and annoying paranormal expert Felix (David Del Rio) to take on monster missions.”

Filming in Vancouver, Nick is hoping for a fall premiere. What do you think? Will you watch it?
