# Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! is an American animated children's educational television series created by Bob Boyle for Nickelodeon. The series was produced by Bolder Media (a joint venture of Frederator Studios and the Mixed Media Group) and Starz Media in association with Film Roman, and it was animated by Bardel Entertainment using Toon Boom and Adobe Flash software. Bob Boyle, Susan Miller, and Fred Seibert served as executive producers.
Two seasons were produced, totaling 52 episodes (each consisting of two segments). Starz Media owns and distributes the series. The show has received an Emmy, a KidScreen Best TV Movie award (for Wubb Idol, starring Beyoncé), and a Telly award.

## Premise

The show focuses on an anthropomorphic, yellow, rectangular mouse-like creature named Wubbzy, who gets into various antics with his friends: Widget, a pink rabbit-like creature who can build; Walden, a purple bear-like creature who is a brainiac; and since the second season, Daizy, a teal dog-like creature who loves flowers. They all live in the town of Wuzzleburg, a fictional location with lots of creatures of every type, and all kinds of events happening in it, especially with Wubbzy.

## Reception

Larisa Wiseman of Common Sense Media rated the program 3 out of 5 stars, saying "the storylines are simple, engaging, and funny, and the characters are cute and energetic". Furthermore, Wiseman said that it's "likely that some young viewers will be bored by the flat visuals, but hopefully they'll watch long enough to absorb the show's positive messages".

## Broadcast

Starz currently holds most distribution rights. Nickelodeon had aired the series from August 21, 2006, to February 21, 2010, and in Canada, Treehouse TV had aired episodes before moving to Playhouse Disney (later Disney Junior). The last airing on Nickelodeon was on December 20, 2010. Reruns aired on the separate sister channel, Nick Jr. from 2009 to 2014, when Nickelodeon and Paramount Global's broadcast rights in the United States expired. All mentions of the show were completely removed from the Nick Jr. website. Since that time, Starz Media has been the only worldwide distributor.
