REAL WHEELS REALITY BASED PROGRAM OFFERS ALTERNATIVE TO ANIMATED KIDS TELEVISION SHOWS

REAL WHEELS a live action reality based series for young children makes its debut nationally on public televison. REAL WHEELS a successful home video series with over 5 million tapes sold will appear weekly beginning in fall 2003. In addition the series is releasing 2 new DVD titles and launching a new web site www.realwheelstv.com.

While animated shows set in a world based on fantasy help develop imagination, children need to understand how the real world works, too. REAL WHEELS builds on a childs natural curiosity about the world around them. What child doesnt get excited when he or she sees a big bulldozer pushing earth, or a fire truck racing to the rescue, or a train speeding down the tracks? In this 13 part series, children from 3 to 8 (and their parents) get to sit back and enjoy watching real people do real work with really big vehicles and machines like monster trucks, race cars, and jet planes.

DAVE, the host of REAL WHEELS makes each episode into an exciting adventure as he explores a new real life situation where real experts are operating different kinds of larger-than-life equipment. Viewers meet real people like crane operator Jim, Navy pilot Linda and train engineer Fred. DAVE asks the questions that every child wants answers to: How do does this work? How fast will it go? What happens if... And the experts answer. DAVE usually saves the best part for last when he actually operates or rides in the featured machine or vehicle. For the child (and parent!) watching this part of the program becomes a true vicarious thrill.

Dont miss the boat, truck or any machine that DAVE is exploring! The enormously successful Real Wheels series is coming to television for the very first time in fall, 2003. In addition, Real Wheels is launching a website in September, 2003! When logged on to www.realwheelstv.com, parents will be able to:
