'Drake & Josh' star recovering

Drake Bell, the star of Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh, is resting at home after suffering a broken neck and other injuries in a car accident late last month.

Bell, 19, also suffered a broken jaw and cuts to his face. According to reports, Bell's car, a 1966 Ford Mustang, was hit head-on by a Mercedes on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, Calif. Bell sent this response to messages on nick.com's message board: "It's so awesome to read the supportive messages from fans . . . You guys are great, and I really appreciate your kind thoughts and concern."

Can't get enough of Chiro and his team of high-tech monkeys on Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, a Toon Disney staple? Then tune in at 7 tonight for the show's three-hour marathon, which will end with a new episode, Big Lug. In case you've missed it, Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! follows the adventures of a teen named Chiro who, with the help of five high-tech cyborg monkeys, transforms into the hero he always wanted to be. The marathon also airs at 9 a.m. Saturday on ABC Family.

Jimmy Neutron and Timmy Turner of the Fairly OddParents team up again on Nickelodeon for the Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide at 8 tonight. Jimmy the genius and Timmy, who is not, both need dates for their schools' Friday the 13th dances. But when Timmy wishes himself to Retroville to ask Cindy Vortex to be his date, Jimmy is not happy - he was planning to ask her. The boys engage in a duel of magic vs. science that attracts the attention of Jimmy's archnemesis Professor Calamitous. They later must join forces to battle Calamitous and a host of bad fairies. And if that isn't enough of the toons, see new Jimmy Neutron cartoons at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 23 through 27 on Nickelodeon.

"The part I liked the most was how the 18 kids get along and they all come together. It sends out a good message that even though people are different they can still get along. I liked that because I like to see people happy."
