"Mickey Mouse Road Rally" comes to primetime

Have your youngsters start their engines. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto are about to embark on their first Clubhouse road rally.

In the "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally," debuting next week on the Disney Channel, Mickey and the gang select their favorite mode of transportation to race through sandy deserts, snow-covered mountains, and lush tropical jungles searching for clues that will lead them to the finish line.

What to Watch on Friday: Disney original "Den Brother"

Den Brother (8pm, Disney) - An original Disney Channel movie in which a cocky hockey star played by Hutch Dano ("Zeke and Luther") is suspended for showing off and forced to become the substitute leader of his little sister's Bumble Bee troop. The sting of the assignment is lessened when he meets the beautiful leader of another troop, played by Kelsey Chow.

Wife Swap (8pm, ABC) - Tonight is the sixth season finale and I just wish it was the series finale instead.

Whale Wars (9pm, Animal Planet) - The Sea Shepherd collides with a Japanese vessel and discovers a hole in the side of their ship with water gushing through.

Cropsey: The Urban Legend (9pm, Investigation Discovery) - A two-part documentary that examines a series of child murders from the 1980s that became linked to an urban legend. The second part airs at 10pm. Read more in Adrienne's review.

Dual Survival (10pm, Discovery) - A post-hurricane scenario has the hosts foraging in garbage for survival resources, and their course takes them to the coast of the Dominican Republic, which is littered with stinging creatures.

Clay Aiken gets animated with "Phineas & Ferb"

You could argue that Clay Aiken has always been animated. Now he really is!

The singer appears on a special one-hour episode of the clever cartoon "Phineas & Ferb," (Disney Channel, tonight at 8  & 11) singing a duet with Chaka Khan called "I Believe We Can."

"Phineas & Ferb" is the story of two step brothers perpetually on summer vacation, who always embark on some grand project. Their sister Candace watches on angrily, but is never able to get their mom to catch them in the act. The two also have a platypus named Perry, a secret agent for an all-animal government organization that primarily takes on Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, an evil scientist.

You get five episodes, plue two full bonus episodes and the exclusive "You've Just Been Jo Bro'd" DVD feature that takes you along with the Jonas Brothers as they try to surprise their co-star. And there's a collectible card inside that MAY be autographed by Nick.

Even better, we'll throw in a copy of "17 Again" starring Zac Efron, all the better to get your Disney on!

Just email me (adrienne.johnson@newsobserver.com) with the name of breakout Disney Channel star who famously dated Nick Jonas in the subject line. In the body, give your name and contact information. Entries with the correct answer will be put in a random drawing to choose a winner.

We'll take emails until midnight. (Monday, Dec.14) Check back tomorrow for the winner and a new chance to win.
