The 4th Plays "Fetch!"

The King's Own announces today that it will appear in the popular PBS children's show, "Fetch!" The release date of the television program is yet to be announced, but the anticipated release is July 2007; and the working title is "Paul Revere".

Fetch! with the animated character Ruff Ruffman is part game show, part reality TV, and part spoof. The program includes real kids who must solve challenges, and they learn a quite a bit while doing so.

For the episode in which the 4^th appears, two children are solving puzzles that lead them on the path of Paul Revere during the American Revolutionary War. The King's Own, being the nemesis to the colonies, interferes, but that is the extent of telling our spoiler.

Filming occurred in Lexington near Tower Park and Seasons Four Nursery, utilizing the town's bike path. A production team from WGBH coordinated the taping with the King's Own, who have been in several other video and film shoots over the past couple years.

Please check back for more information as to when this episode appears. You can also learn more about the program on the PBS website: Fetch!.
