Abby and Ty Archer are special agents who use fascinating and possibly nauseating scientific facts to battle vile villains in Grossology, the new animated series debuting Saturday, Jan. 13, at 6 p.m. (EST) on Discovery Kids. Described by Discovery as a sort of C.S.I for kids, the show blends action, humor and science to solve the mysteries kids really want to know a bout, like why lice take up residence in people’s hair, why our bodies makes boogers and why people pass gas.
Working for a top-secret government agency known as the Bureau of Grossology, our intrepid agents are aided by the infamous Lab Rat as they face off against criminals too disgusting for the adults to handle. Baddies include Sloppy-Joe, the world’s filthiest thief, and Lance Boil, a former grossologist who has gone to the ‘gross side’ and wants revenge.
Saturday’s premiere will offer two episodes back to back. First, Abby and Ty will investigate an epidemic of giant, mind-controlling head lice at Ringworm High in ‘Club Parasites.’ The second installment, ‘When Y Gotta Go,’ will find our heroes out to stop Lance Boil as he uses an infrasound ray gun to cause fluctuations in people’s bowels so he can go on a looting spree. Future episodes will have the secret agent siblings taking on mutant hagfish, transformed termites and a giant gas-powered robot named Fartzilla.
