LOS ANGELES --May 19, 2000--A new season of production has begun on the Disney-MGM Studios lot at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla., and guests in the park can expect to see some great television in the making.

The first of these productions is the popular PBS kids series "Dooley and Pals" that will tape new episodes on the Disney-MGM sound stages, as well as utilize the post-production facilities at Disney i.d.e.a.s.

"Dooley and Pals" will continue taping an additional 13 episodes through August 2000.

The series will begin airing on PBS in June of 2000 and is produced by Victory Entertainment and Directed by Bruce Brown. "Dooley" is a program geared toward pre-school age children that features a loveable character from outer space who approaches everyday life with the same kind of wonder and excitement as a young child.
