Production
The series was announced as a revamp in late 2008, however it is actually classified as a spinoff/sequel to the original show The Shak.[5] The show features new theme song created by the same composer of the original shows theme which maintains the same 'surfie' melody but with a more prominent acoustic guitar, thus making the song have a more contemporary, rock feel. The opening segment has changed to a montage of Shaksters. The closing credits are now accompanied by bloopers accumulated throughout the show's shooting of its various segments and storylines. After Picasso left the show, a search for a shakster competition was launched in which they cast Libby Campbell as Willow.[6] the first series premiered on 20 April 2009 and finished airing on 17 July 2009. The second series premiered on 31 April 2009, It aired each Monday in an afternoon time-slot. The series then shifted to airing every weekday at the same time-slot, until the final episode aired on 20 April 2010.
Controversy
On 26 May 2010, The Shak was announced as having breached the children’s television standards for endorsing a product by 'The Australian Communications and Media Authority'. The claim was made when Kendal, Drew and Beau were seen riding scooters with close up scenes during a prize segment. On the entertainment news site 'TV Tonight' comments on the story were mostly negative and damming to the ACMA.[7]
Withdrawal
On 13 January 2010, the Nine Network cancelled the show, claiming that it was an "economic decision".[8]
