"Boy do I like Wingin' It, it is a great show for teens
and younger kids. Wingin' It is hilarious and I am always trying
to figure out how Porter and Carl are going to get out of
those strange predicaments."
~ Jayden, 12, Williams Lake

THIS SHOW HAS WINGS

The kids have spoken - the magic, wit and creativity in Wingin' It have made the show a winner. The prestigious $50,000 Shaw Rocket Prize has been awarded to Wingin' It for being voted the best in Canadian kids' programming.

Wingin' It is a comedic tween TV show highlighting the misadventures of a teenage odd couple - Carl Montclaire (Dylan Everett, How to be Indie) a typical teenager trying to survive high school, and ‘Angel-in-Training' (A.I.T.) Porter Jackson (Demetrius Joyette, The Latest Buzz) who is trying to earn his angel wings by making Carl the most popular guy in school.

Wingin' It was selected as one of the top five finalists by our International Jury of esteemed industry professionals, after being judged for quality and content of its online presence and the show itself. The Kids Jury was just as impressed, and selected it as the grand prize winner after watching episodes of the show and interacting with it through the website and game.
