Welcome to Peak of The Week for April 1st, 2022, you April Fools! We’re not pranking when we say we’ve got a lot of fun in store this week, including the premiere of The FairlyOdd Parents: Fairly Odder, a new episode of Halo, and more laughs than you can shake a whoopie cushion at.
So grab some snacks, plop down on that sofa, and get ready to stream.
[INTRO]
Hey y’all, I’m Keshia Chanté, and it’s another week where I’m bringing you another peek at everything new on Paramount+.
Things are getting a whole lot more magical around these parts with the series premiere of your family’s new favorite show *The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder.*
This fresh take on the animated classic picks up years after the original series ended, as *Timmy Turner* is off to college and turns his fairy godparents,* Wanda* and *Cosmo*, over to his 13-year-old misfit cousin *Viv* and her charismatic new stepbrother *Roy* who share the secret of their wand-wielding, wish-granting fairy godparents.
The show combines live action footage with the colorful animation you've known and loved and includes the original voice actors *Susanne Blake-Slee* and *Darren Norris* as the iconic and still-animated *Fairly OddParents* duo *Wanda* and *Cosmo.*
Stream the first 13 episodes of *The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder* now on Paramount+, and revisit all your favorite episodes of the original *Fairly OddParents series*, streaming now too.

[COMIN’ ROUND THE MOUNTAIN]
We’ve got another new episode of the smash hit *Halo,* and this week *The Master Chief* turns to a former ally for help, while tensions between *Dr. Halsey* and the *UNSC* brass continue to escalate over how to address *the Master Chief's* apparent insubordination.
Meanwhile, on the latest episode of *Picard*, *Jean Luke* questions the *Watcher* and discovers a surprising ancestor, while *Seven* and *Rawfi* face off against 21st century law enforcement to free *Rios*. Meanwhile, the *Borg Queen* puts *Joor-ah-tee* in an impossible situation and *Q* enlists a familiar-looking ally.
And worlds collide on CBS’ most-watched drama this week with a special crossover event when *NCIS* agents *Nick Torrez* and *Jessica Knight* say aloha to the *NCIS: Hawaii* cast. The two brave special agents swing into action, hopping a flight to the islands, when they learn a key witness in one of their old cases has turned up there with crucial evidence.
But that’s not all—get ready for the ultimate in glitz and glamor this Sunday with the 64th annual *Grammy Awards,* streaming right here on Paramount+. *The Daily Show’s* *Trevor Noah* is back as the host of music’s biggest night, packed with all the performances, appearances, and can’t-miss moments everyone will be talking about.

And as I alluded to before, today is April Fools day, and we’ve got plenty of pranks, pratfalls, and parodies on tap to tickle your whole family’s funny bone. Stream classic comedies like *Cheers,* *I Love Lucy,* or *Taxi,* or check out new hits like *Ghosts* and *Young Sheldon* to get your giggle on.
For the younger set, we’ve got full episodes of everyone’s favorite prankster extraordinaire *Big Nate* and even more family-friendly shenanigans with movies like *Clifford The Big Red Dog* and “Rumble.”
And the fun doesn’t stop there—laughs abound over on CBS with the series premiere of *How We Roll,* a new comedy based on a true story starring *Pete Holmes* as Tom, a stoic Midwest family man who, after getting laid off at a car factory, decides to provide for his family by following his dream of becoming a professional bowler.
Plus, clear your schedule for next week—the Season 2 premiere of *iCarly* is right around the corner, with 2 new episodes of the returning hit series dropping exclusively on Paramount+ next Friday.
