No Joke! CollegeHumor Makes Dora the Explorer Miniseries Based on Fake Trailer

Dora the Explorer has come to life — sort of. And parental discretion is advised.

Nine months after scoring one of its biggest hits ever with a parody Dora movie trailer, CollegeHumor has turned the send-up into a three-part miniseries, Dora the Explorer and the Destiny Medallion.

"We did the movie trailer, and we loved the video, but the response was better than we had hoped," Sam Reich, CollegeHumor's president of original content, tells TVGuide.com. "With so many people asking for it to be a real thing — we don't really have that permission to release a Hollywood film —we said, 'What's the biggest version of this that we can do?' And the answer was web series ... and luckily all the stars aligned. ... This is one of the most ambitious things we've ever done."

Tonight's TV Hot List: Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010

True Blood
9/8c HBO
Driving a stake through the heart of the lover of the king of Mississippi may not have been the wisest career move for Eric, but when it's compared to Russell's casual decapitation of the Magister, well, at least he did it in part to avenge his family's death. In any case, vampires killing vampires can't be considered good PR, especially with the passage of an equal-rights amendment in the offing, and you can bet that's what's on spokes-bloodsucker Nan Flanagan's mind when she stops by Fangtasia looking for answers.

Read on for previews of Dora the Explorer, Next Food Network Star, The Real L Word, Top Shot, Army Wives and Roast of David Hasselhoff. read more
