I think they realize how much they’re gonna need these new shows with all their core shows (HM, SLOD, SWAC, and WOWP) all wrapping up at once. Personally, I don’t much care for China, the actress or the country. And they named her character Chyna? That’s as bad as Miley Cyrus playing Miley Stewart for four years.
Anyway, here’s the premiere schedule. Don’t worry if you miss the first episode, I’m sure they’ll replay it a few hundred times…
EVERY HIGH SCHOOL HAS A ‘LITTLE’ COMPETITION
“A.N.T. FARM,” A COMEDY ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL PRODIGIES
ENROLLED IN A HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR GIFTED STUDENTS,
PREMIERES FRIDAY, JUNE 17 ON DISNEY CHANNELTalented Young Cast Led by 12-year-old China Anne McClain
“A.N.T. Farm,” a comedy series about a middle school musical prodigy who is newly enrolled in a prestigious A.N.T. (Advanced Natural Talents) program at a local high school, will premiere FRIDAY, JUNE 17 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. Starring 12-year-old China Anne McClain, the series depicts the new fish-out-of-water situation Chyna Parks and her fellow A.N.T.s. encounter in the sometimes daunting world of high school – three years earlier than expected.
In addition to McClain, the series stars Sierra McCormick (“Ramona and Beezus”) as Olive Doyle, an A.N.T. with a photographic memory; Jake Short (“Shorts,” “Dexter”) as Fletcher Quimby, an artistic genius and practical joker; Stefanie Scott (“Flipped,” “No Strings Attached”) as Lexi Reed, an overachieving cheerleader who is intimidated by Chyna; and Carlon Jeffery (“Heroes”) as Cameron Parks, Chyna’s older brother who overcompensates in order to step out of his sister’s shadow.
Recurring are Finesse Mitchell (“Saturday Night Live”) and Elise Neal (“The Hughleys”) as Chyna’s parents, Darryl and Roxanne Parks; Zach Steel as Gibson, the A.N.T’s school counselor, and Aedin Mincks as Angus, the computer genius.
Beginning May 27, DisneyChannel.com will launch the “A.N.T. Farm” super site, featuring the game, “Find Your Inner A.N.T.” Players can select one of four mini games inspired by the talents of Chyna (music), Olive (memory), Fletcher (painting) and Angus (computer genius). After each new episode, users can also test their brain power with the Weekly Brain Teaser.
Following is the schedule for “A.N.T. Farm”:

I’m just glad it has a few hotties; Stephanie & Alie – they’re still a bit on the young side, but give them a year (if the show lasts that long) and they’re going to be the new Disneybaits – completely worth watching! =D
Greg,
I have nothing to say about A.N.T. Farm so instead I’ll hijack this topic a little and touch on something that you brought up. I also HATE the country of China. They are nothing but a bunch of thieves whose ultimate goal is to take over the US and the world. They shamelessly steal our media, especially movies and most of the products they make in those sweatshop factories of theirs are nothing but junk.
Disneybaits? Okay sometimes this website gets a little too creepy.
Stephanie & Alie, are they the two stereotypical popular girls?
i like Olive because she can remember a lot and its a blessing and a curse.
Olive reminds me of Lilly from HM.
My kids and I really like the new ANT FARM – it has some really good jokes and the cast is talented. And that lead girl can SING!
That Lexi girl (Stephanie) is the only good part of this show.
i like to be on there.i like china.you like the best one on.i will do tryouts to get on ant farm.
