Tamagotchi! (Cookie Jar dub)

In early 2010, a dub of the 2009 Tamagotchi! anime premiered in the US and Canada, which was produced by the Toronto-based Cookie Jar Entertainment.
Unlike the more well-known Cartoon Network dub, the scripts for this dub were written from scratch, rather than directly translated and localized. In addition, Cookie Jar's dub was not licensed by Bandai, which resulted in a number of legal battles between the two companies.
Only the first 25 episodes were dubbed by Cookie Jar, and none of the episodes have been uploaded on to YouTube by the dub's current owner, WildBrain, in order to avoid any further legal problems with Bandai (and to a lesser extent, Cartoon Network).
The dub aired on CBS' Cookie Jar TV block (in the United States), Teletoon (in Canada), and the then newly launched Disney XD (in Spectranade). It has never aired in the United Kingdom (who opted to wait for Cartoon Network's dub), or Australia (who opted to make their own dub with a Florida-based cast, before choosing to use Cartoon Network's dub).
Beginning in 2013, Qubo would rerun this dub, up until it ceased broadcasting in 2021. It usually aired during the overnight hours. More recently, the series aired on Universal Kids during the graveyard hours (1 AM to 3 AM) in late 2021, before Bandai and Cartoon Network ordered them to stop airing it.
The series was met with an overwhelmingly negative reception. Unlike the Cartoon Network dub afterwards and the Paramount dub of Tamagotchi: The Movie, critics and fans alike seem to have criticized the show for the awful writing and constant pop culture references not found in the original Japanese airings. Fans in particular have compared the dub to PBS' dub of Let's Go! Tamagotchi in the fact that PBS dubbed it word-by-word. So after the release of it, fans wanted PBS (specifically WHUT because they dubbed Let's Go) to dub the series. but were glad that the Cartoon Network dub was significantly closer to the anime. 
Fox-owned stations have added the show to their blacklist, preventing affiliates of Fox and MyNetworkTV from airing it. while other station owners such as Nexstar and Scripps, strongly discouraged their stations to air the show. Meanwhile, fellow free-to-air children's network PBS Kids opted to air the Cartoon Network dub of the series as a part of their PBS Kids Family Night block of programming (albeit, with a TV-G rating).

==Trivia==
* Ironically enough, while WildBrain does own the rights to the dub, they partnered with Bandai later in 2019 with the Madeline Tamagotchi.
** To add salt to the wound, the instruction manual calls the dub "Mametchi's failed experiment".
