![]() Schwarzenegger: That's what George Herbert Bush was talking about, "the couch potatoes," and how do we get the family as a whole off the couch? So this show will be about fitness but it will also have action and discipline, being inclusive, different things that I stand for. With your decades of knowledge, what does a show like this need to get through to not just kids but adults about the need for their kids to be active and not always on devices and playing games? Guerrasio: Though you haven't been able to do a lot of kids-focused projects, you have had a focus on physical fitness for the youth going all the way back to H.W. Most of my comedies are kind of geared to adults too, like "Twins," "Kindergarten Cop," "Christmas in Connecticut" (which Schwarzenegger directed), "Jingle All the Way," "Junior." This is specifically for the kids audience. ![]() It's also the first time that I've done something that is directly for kids. Schwarzenegger: It's the first time I've done a TV animated show, the whole show. Guerrasio: I was thinking back, is this the first time you've done an animated show? It was crazy Stan passed away and didn't see this last idea that he had really flourish. I told him it was fantastic, and he said, "Well, you're talking to Stan Lee." My character has to teach them all the important lessons. And then I didn't hear anything for a long while, and one day he called me back and he said, "I have an idea that's exactly what you're talking about, but how about putting my spin on it?" And I said, "What's that?" And he went, "Arnold, c'mon, you know, superheroes!"

But he basically said, "Let me think about that, maybe I can come up with something." And that was it. I could see him daydreaming for a few seconds. So I told Stan that story and that I was always frustrated that I couldn't do more kids shows and cross over more.

If it sounds a little like Schwarzenegger's 1990 classic "Kindergarten Cop," it's because that's how Lee got the idea for the show. On Tuesday, Lee's POW Entertainment announced the launch of the action-adventure animated series "Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten." In it, Schwarzenegger plays Arnold Armstrong, a former superhero who, after decades defending the world, is now working undercover as a kindergarten teacher who is tasked with teaching 5-year-olds with newly discovered superpowers how to use them for good when they grow up.
