PLANTATION, FL. — A new children’s television program, The Pig Club, will be filming live at Temple Kol Ami Emanu-El in Plantation at 10:45 a.m. and a second show at noon. Each show is approximately one hour in length.
Children compete in four competitions to be crowned, ‘Pig of the Week’. These include pie eating, mudslinging, pig trivia and pig poise. It is great fun, but the messages of the skits and songs are much greater. The Pig Club is entertaining, funny, but more importantly teaches children the truth about the benefits of exercise and nutrition.
The live action Pig Club Live show allows every child in the audience a chance to be crowned the winner. Every child gets to sing, cheer and participate in the fun. The characters in the show include King T-Bone, the leader of the club; Lenlard, who teaches kids to “lose lard”; Sgt. Pork, defender of the pig army against the “clean humans”, Karham, a Britney Spears look-a-like, Rachsow the smartest pig you ever met and the Pig Club Cheerleader, Rebacon.
The show, geared towards children ages 6 to 11, promises to fill the gap left by television icons Fred Rogers and Captain Kangaroo. “It’s a unique program”, says health educator and creator, Michael Marine of Weston, Florida. “There is a need to teach our children values and to counter the incessant advertising of fattening junk foods. The Pig Club is entertaining, funny, but more importantly teaches children the truth about the benefits of exercise and nutrition.” The vehicle for this creative venture is the greatly misunderstood animal – the pig.
