A WORLD OF WONDERS: NEW ADVENTURE SERIES MAKES KIDS SAY “W.O.W”

On Wednesday, September 5th at 6:00 p.m., TVOKids premieres A WORLD OF WONDERS (WOW), an adventure series that kids and their families will enjoy watching together. Shot in HD over a seven-month period, A World of Wonders takes viewers to four continents and seven countries, racking up an impressive 85,731kms in its inaugural season. In this 26-episode series, host Paula Lemyre heads to such far-flung locations as Tanzania, where she spends time with the waHadzabe tribe and learns to speak their “click” language. She also takes a dip in the Dead Sea, stops by the Jordanian desert to have tea with a Bedouin family, and jets off to Paris, where she greases the mighty Eiffel Tower’s huge pistons with French fry fat and gets a close up view of the Mona Lisa at The Louvre. And in China, Paula not only climbs the Great Wall, but slides down it on a sled! WOW will also debut on The Knowledge Network on Tuesday, September 4th at 6:37 p.m. and Saskatchewan’s SCN on Wednesday, September 26th at 5:00 p.m.

The show is the brainchild of Toronto-based executive producer Al Magee, a rather brilliant TV guy who was the co-creator of such Canadian shows as Designer Guys, So Chic and Love By Design. He was also a creative consultant on Trailer Park Boys, Rent-A-Goalie, Slings & Arrows and several other notable TV productions.” Read more.
