Out of the Box

Out of the Box is a Disney Channel TV series that takes place in a playhouse made entirely of cardboard boxes, where two hosts, Tony James and Vivian Bayubay McLaughlin, sing songs, make crafts, and act out plays. The series ran from October 1998 to September 2004.
Two special episodes were released on VHS by Walt Disney Home Video: Out of the Box: Trick or Treat and Out of the Box: Happy Holidays. Trick or Treat is also available on the Rolie Polie Olie DVD A Spookie Ookie Halloween.
The series was created and executive produced by Douglas Love and was based on his series of books from . Three seasons were filmed at Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York City. The series earned three Parents' Choice Awards for excellence in television and an Emmy nomination.
Several of the program's original songs were included on the albums Playhouse Disney and Playhouse Disney 2.
Although the majority of the series was long absent from either home video release or streaming, the complete series (with the exception of episodes 6, 21, and 22) was made available in 2019 on Disney+.
==Overview==
Every day, a small group of neighborhood children come and play in "The Box". Tony James and Vivian Bayubay McLaughlin play games, do crafts, sing songs, and act out stories in the box. The singing is usually in the beginning of the episode, while the crafts are in the middle, and the stories are at the end. The episode finishes off with either Tony or Vivian walking the kids home, then coming back to sing the "Goodbye Song".
==Episode list==
The series comprises 82 episodes in total. One production number in Season 1 was skipped, as the 24-episode season starts with 101 and ends with 125; this is due to an episode being cancelled and reworked as one in the second season.
