COMICS NEW YORK (AP) — Striking a blow for diversity, the kids’ cable net work Nickelodeon has plans for three new series with Hispanic leads. The new shows are “a rounding out of our efforts to reflect the world of kids,” said Cyma Zarghami, Nick elodeon’s executive vice president. Among eight new series for the 2000- 2001 season, Nick will launch “Taina,” a multigenerational series about a 14-year- old Hispanic girl in New York City and another live-action show, “The Brothers Garcia,” which revolves around a Mexi- can-American family in San Antonio. Told from the perspective of the youngest of four siblings, “Garcia” is described as an Hispanic “Wonder Years.” An interactive animated series, “Dora the Explorer,” will feature a 7- year-old Hispanic girl who lives inside a computer. In every episode, young view ers will be invited to participate in an ad venture. Although no premiere dates were an nounced Wednesday, the new series are expected to roll out between this sum mer and early next year. Other new shows include: • “Noah Knows Best,” a live-action comedy about New Yorker Noah Beznick and his sister Megan that fo cuses on sibling rivalry. • “Invader Zim,” a cartoon series about an alien who spies on Earth by masquerading as a kid and attending el ementary school. • “As Told By Ginger,” about a sixth- grade girl caught with one foot in dork- iness and the other in the world of blooming popularity. It’s from Klasky- Csupo, creators of the network’s popu lar “Rugrats,” “The Wild Thornberrys” and “Rocket Power.” • “Chalk Zone,” which follows the adventures of a boy who discovers a magic piece of chalk that allows him to enter a world beyond the chalkboard. • “The Fairly Oddparents,” which be stows upon 10-year-old Timmy two mag ical helpmates: bumbling godparents.
