Second Season of Popular Sitcom Shorts, "As the Bell Rings," Premieres Saturday, July 5 on Disney Channel
LOS ANGELES, May 27, 2008 -- The second season of the popular sitcom shorts,
"As The Bell Rings," a comedy that follows six friends – Danny, Tiffany, ToeJam, Brooke, Skipper and newcomer Lexi – and their exchanges, antics and occasional tween drama in the school hallway during classroom breaks, will premiere SATURDAY, JULY 5 (7:55 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. Each new episode will be rebroadcast throughout the week.
Starring are Tony Oller as Danny, Lindsey Black as Lexi, Seth Ginsberg as ToeJam, Gabriella Rodriguez as Brooke, Collin Cole as Skipper and Carlson Young as Tiffany. The series was filmed at Del Valle High School in Del Valle (Austin), Texas, and will feature three original songs performed by Tony Oller throughout the season.
In the premiere episode, although Danny is sad that Charlotte has moved away, his spirits are lifted when the gang introduces him to Lexi and he realizes he's met her before.
In the upcoming storylines, new girl Lexi finds her niche in the group of students; Tiffany instructs the guys on how to take the perfect school photo; Lexi is Danny's muse as he writes a new song; Brooke films a documentary; Danny conjures up ideas of becoming a rock star; ToeJam receives study notes from Tiffany on the play "Romeo and Juliet"; and Skipper is reluctant to study for a biology test.
The shorts are based on Disney Channel Italy's hugely popular short-form series, "Quelli dell'Intervallo." Disney Channel Italy's series has inspired locally-produced adaptations in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, China, Japan, Singapore and Australia.
