''The Troop'' is an American-Canadian live-action, single camera comedy-adventure television series about a trio of teenagers who fight and capture monsters and other supernatural phenomena that invade the fictional town of Lakewood. Created and executive produced by Max Burnett, Greg Coolidge and Chris Morgan, the series premiered on Nickelodeon on September 18, 2009. The second season premiered on June 25, 2011 and Nickelodeon cancelled the series midway through its second season. The remaining episodes of season 2 were aired on Nicktoons with the series finale airing on May 8, 2013. ==Premise== The show revolves around Jake, an average teen who wants to create his own comic book series and is enlisted by his school counselor Mr. Stockley to join "The Troop" a secret society that protects the world from monsters and creatures. Additional squad members include his fellow students, Hayley, the most popular girl in school and Felix, the school's main nerd. Teenagers are chosen for the troop because their minds are more accepting of the strange things in the world, but they are old enough to understand the responsibilities that are entailed. It is shown that once you grow too old monsters become more frightening. For some it is a small fear, for others it becomes completely terrifying to even look at a monster's picture. The pilot was shot in 2008 and the show itself has been described as "''Men in Black'' at a suburban high school".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Marshall Jones' audition information )〕 The show premiered to 3.5 million viewers on September 12, 2009 (premiering as a "Special Preview") right after ''iCarlys "iThink They Kissed".〔(Cable ratings: USC, VMAs, iCarly and True Blood finale… ) – September 15, 2009 TVbythenumbers.com〕 The show officially premiered a week later.

David Del Rio announced in January 2011 that he would not be renewing his contract for the second season due to other commitments and would become a recurring cast member after episode 28. His character, Felix, moves to the International Troop and will no longer be a member of the Lakewood Troop. The second season was turned in a different direction. Felix was phased out in the first three episodes while Matt Shively was introduced in the third episode. The season introduced a new theme song and new environments. It is significantly different and it is obvious to tell the difference between he two seasons. In August 2011, Nickelodeon put the series on permanent hiatus. The second season ended with the remaining 7 episodes left unaired. However, Nickelodeon has not ruled out a possibility to air the 7 remaining episodes of the second season. The episodes later aired on Nicktoons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Troop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
