### Behavioral alignment

Usually bad, but sometimes has a warm heart

**Gus** is one of Willa's animals in Willa's Wild Life. Gus is an American alligator who's often rude and obnoxious.

## Trivia

* The show's page on qubo.com misnames Gus as 'Al'
Doowee MacAdam

Doowee is an intelligent boy who enjoys scientific things. He believes he is very cool and has no problem stroking his own ego- usually met with sarcasm or his own undoing after he does something clumsy. He is Sally's best friend and takes this honor seriously, not that it stops them from bickering at times. While Sally is brave and active, Doowee can be cowardly and would rather do non-physical detective work.

At times Doowee can show a dorky and awkward side if a girl shows interest in him. But if he instead likes the girl or wants attention, he will put on a flirtatious act.

## Trivia

* Doowee is allergic to cats and rabbits: it is a McAdam "weakness".

Lilly

Lilly is a fox who is forgetful and sometimes scatterbrained, and she often ties a string around a finger in order to remedy this. Lilly has a pet goldfish named Treasure. She is generally extremely absent-minded, but she remembers the most vital things. Her forgetfulness can often be a source of annoyance to the other characters, but they quickly forgive her.
Doris

Doris is a beaver who is a boisterous tomboy. She is a talented soccer player who seems to have a fear of insects and spiders. Doris has three older brothers: Morris, Horace, and Boris. Doris is clearly the tallest student in her class, though at home, she is teased by her brothers as she is much smaller than they are. Doris appears to be the most avant-garde artist in class, as she believes her abstract art should not look like anything else, as long as it makes her happy. Most of the other characters are impressed by her size and strength.
Kitty Ko

**Kitty Ko** is one of the heroines in Sidekick. She's Eric's guardian due to the fact that Maxum Man is missing. He is a computer with lots of gadgets and acted as Maxum Man's assistant before his disappearance. He is strict about following rules and keeping the mansion clean and speaks with an East Indian accent.

## Personality

Kitty is a boy-crazy heroine despite being a little off-the wall, serves up totally stellar advice. She likes kittens. She is a fan of Joshua Sideburns, as seen in Comic Book Zombies. She does anything to get Joshua as seen in Teenage Mummies in Love, though Joshua seems not interested in Kitty's actions towards him. She also seems to have an interest in computers and anything with robotics as seen in Eric and the Maxum Brain Factory.
Fidgel

**Fidgel** is the science officer of the Rockhopper. He received his advanced doctoral degree in psycho-aeronautics, after completing his dissertation, which proved that penguins are in fact, aerodynamically capable. They just choose to waddle instead of fly because "waddle" sounds funnier, and Penguins are one of the few birds capable of sustained comedy.

While technically the only member of the Penguins' crew with no musical talent, Fidgel invented a guitar that is controlled by how he imagines he could play if he did have musical talent. This patented technology has since been used in numerous boy-band records.

## Personality

Fidgel has extensive knowledge in various scientific fields, but he lacks an understanding of things as simple as jinxes.

## Trivia

* According to Zidgel, he's color blind.
* His favorite food is watercress sandwiches.
* Fidgel bears an uncanny resemblance to Jason and Michelle's Granddad.
* Fidgel is the only member penguin to wear glasses and the only one to be eyeless.
* He is the second character from Big Idea to have expressive glasses. The first being Rumor Weed from *Larryboy and the Rumor Weed*.
* In early concept art, Fidgel's costume was white.
* He and Zidgel are the only penguins who mentioned about their families. In Fidgel's case, his brother-in-law Ray. However, he doesn't say whether Ray is his spouse's brother or his sibling's husband.
* According to an older version of the Big Idea website, if he wasn't on a spaceship crew, he would be teaching astrophysics at Cambridge, writing packaged food nutritional information, or watching a lot of Animal Planet.
* In the original episodes, he has shoulder pads like the other Penguins. They vanished when the series was revived for television.
* Fidgel's voice actor for the TV-produced episodes also voiced the eponymous rabbit from *Kate & Mim-Mim*.
Lamb Chop's Play Along

***Lamb Chop's Play Along*** is an American half-hour preschool children's television series that was shown on PBS in the United States from 1992 to 1995, and in reruns until August 29, 1997. It was created and hosted by puppeteer Shari Lewis, and featured her puppet character, Lamb Chop.

## Premise

Shari Lewis lives with Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, and Charlie Horse (all of which she performs as) and they get into all sorts of adventures, as well as Betcha tricks, Knock-Knock Joke segments, Riddles, Teddy Bear Tales, even song and dance.

### Opening and closing

Both the opening and closing songs were written by Broadway composer Norman Martin. Other songs were written by *Square One TV* songwriter, John Rodby. Two versions of the opening song with different lyrics have been used; one involves bouncing, the other strength. The ending theme song is "The Song That Doesn't End", as sung by the children and puppets while Lewis frantically attempts to sabotage them. The song eventually fades even before beginning a 6th verse. Finally, at the end of the song, Charlie Horse returns. He then tries to get to sing the song again. But Lewis successfully stops him (by putting her hand over his mouth). She (covering Charlie's mouth) orders him to go away. Resigned, Charlie leaves as she asks. But he slams the door before Lewis could tell him don't. Her only consolation is that she is now at peace and quiet with the singing group gone, though she glares at the viewers at fade-out.

## Trivia

* This was one of only three Qubo shows to regularly feature puppetry, with the other two being The Choo Choo Bob Show and You & Me.
Entrée

**Entrée** is a mayo loving tasty mutant who is Peri's friend and one of the main characters on the show. He is less intelligent than Peri, and sometimes when Peri doesn't play with him for a long time, he turns evil and takes revenge on him.

When he was a kid, he put Joe's favorite toy in the volcano: Mr. Wrinkles. (Mr. Wrinkles in Time). He always turns big when he says he is "awesome".

It was believed that the Doctor created him for the purpose of being eaten, hence his name.

Due to his short attention span, he mostly fails to consider the consequences of his actions, even regarding others, even to himself or parts of himself (his stomach), using Poosh to tire himself out without knowing. It even resulted in Entrée's stomach, heart and brain going on strike due to the abuse meted out against them.
Benny

**Benny**, Todd’s dog, is a carefree, canine-about-town. He loves to play with Todd, always teasing him into tussling with a sock or pulling Todd around on his skateboard.  He loves to go for walks or ride home on

Todd’s skateboard while Todd pulls him. Then, as soon as they get home, Benny wants to go out again.  Benny is affectionate and effusive and can spend hours gazing lovingly into Todd’s eyes, although he can gaze just as lovingly at a jar of doggy treats.  Benny loves to sleep on Todd’s bed, though he’s a notorious pillow hog.  Benny is also known to take Todd’s place whenever he gets up so that Todd has to find another place to sit down.

Benny can talk, like all the other animals in ToddWorld, but he’s a dog of few words and those few words are often insightful, boiling things down to their essence.  Benny will also express himself through doglike whines and grunts and wags of the tail.  Benny is often playful, but if there’s something he doesn’t want to do, he’ll pretend he’s asleep.  Unfortunately, Benny is not a talented actor, and his loud, fake snores give him away every time.

Benny is prone to exaggeration, freely mixing fact and fantasy.  For example, when Todd leaves the house, Benny will jump on the bed, then later make up an elaborate story about how the bed got messed up.  No one believes him, of course, but everyone enjoys his stories because they’re entertaining.

## Trivia

* Benny is voiced by Doron Bell Jr., the voice of Odie, from Class of the Titans.
Gabi

Feisty, physical and brave, this headstrong girl is a worthy member of the team. She has every bit as much curiosity and drive as Doki. But where he sets out on an adventure with his mind open to learning everything, Gabi is pretty sure she already knows a lot, and is looking forward to proving herself right!

Gabi isn't bossy - she's just confident about what she knows, and not shy about sharing it with her friends. She and Doki often clash, because while they always have the same goal, they'll usually disagree on the best way to reach it. When Doki just wants to get going, Gabi is the one saying 'what's the plan?' Gabi is a whole three weeks older than Doki, and she loves to tease him that she's 'older and wiser'. But
despite their playful banter, these two are fast friends and will help each other out in any crisis. To give Gabi her due, she is genuinely good at spotting potential dangers, and always warns her friends - but is usually ignored. Fortunately, things usually work out okay, but nothing drives Gabi nuts like hearing Doki say "See? Nothing bad happened." Aaargh!

Gabi is very athletic, with a bit of a competitive streak. It's not that she wants to 'beat' others - she just loves to challenge herself! Gabi is fair and a good sportsman, and encourages all of her friends to play along, regardless of their skill level. In fact she's a natural teacher, and does her best to help all of her friends to do well at any sport or task they take on. Her athleticism means that Gabi usually takes the lead in any situation that requires a physical challenge. She's outdoorsy and enjoys many sports, but her favorite is rock climbing. Her backpack is always full of ropes and carabiners, which come in handy when climbing is on the agenda!

Gabi's no pushover, but she also has a tender side. A pretty bloom will always catch her eye, and she's
never seen without a flower in her hair. She's also very interested in wildlife, and has a special place in her heart for worms and bugs. She adores her pet earthworm, LANCELOT, who lives at the clubhouse. Gabi tells him everything - not that he ever answers, but he's a wonderful listener. Her interest in flora and fauna plays out on their adventures, where she is fascinated to learn about the habits and habitats of the animals they meet. Her 'specialty' in the group is LIFE SCIENCE - the study of plants and animals.

### Behavioral alignment

Good

**Jimmy and Jerry Gourd** are brothers and two main characters of VeggieTales.

## Personality

Like Bob and Larry are the Abbot and Costello, Jimmy and Jerry are the Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They like eating and singing a lot. They don't do a whole lot, but they do like helping others when they're needed.

Like Larry, they are clueless and they often like people to laugh.

Jimmy is considered the more brash and talkative one, while Jerry is the slightly intelligent and quiet one.

## Filmography

* On the TV version of VeggieTales, Jimmy's role is the mailman who give the letter for Bob and Larry to answer. Every time he comes, he sings his mail song, which Bob and Larry both dislike.
Emma and Noah

**Emma and Noah Two-Two** are the twin characters of the show. These fraternal twins are energetic, athletic, full of daring and theatrical bravado. They have their own secret club, Kid Power, and spend long hours in their clubhouse in the yard fighting imaginary battles as their alter egos: the intrepid Shapiro and the fearless O'Toole.

They won't allow Jacob into their clubhouse, which just makes him want to get in there even more! He is constantly doing their bidding in the hope that this time, maybe they'll really let him inside.

Sally Bollywood

"*This looks like a case for Sally Bollywood Investigations!*"
― Sally Bollywood (Mr. Big)
***Sally Bollywood*** is a French–Australian animated television show co-produced by the French company Tele Images Kids and by Australia's Three's a Company. The series was originally broadcast on France 3 and on Seven Network in Australia. Two seasons have been produced, each consisting of 52 11-minute episodes.

## Premise

The series revolves around Sally, a 12-year-old Indian girl who lives in the fictional city of Cosmopolis, where people of various nationalities and ethnic groups make up the population. Her father, Harry Bollywood, is a private detective, which has inspired Sally to start her own investigative service, Sally Bollywood Investigations (SBI), located in the basement of their home. Sally and her best friend Doowee MacAdam generally investigate cases brought to them by their schoolmates by travelling around their local neighbourhood, with Sally using her skills of detection and Doowee using technology he invents.
Bob the Builder (character)

## Bob

### Appearance

Yellow hard hat, dark brown hair and eyes with black pupils, checkered yellow and red short-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, brown boots and toolbelt

### Friends

Wendy, Leo, Scoop, Muck, Lofty, Two-Tonne, Tiny, Rolley, Dizzy

### Behavioral alignment

Good

**Bob** is the hard-working and dedicated resident Builder for Bobsville (OG) / Fixham and Spring City (Reboot). There is no build too big or too small for Bob and his enthusiastic team, who will always jump to assist their community in every way they can. Bob's optimistic attitude always shines through, especially when reassuring his team with his empowering catchphrase: "Can we build it? Yes, we can!"**™**
Kevin

**Kevin** is a member of the Rockhopper's crew from the Federation. While Kevin has no specific job on the ship, other than cleaning, he is always ready to help when needed by the others. He also sometimes answers questions or solves problems without being aware of it. He trained at the Academy on a full-ride drum scholarship and spent most of his time there in the band, where his assigned rank was airman 3RD class instrumental specialist.

This led to his mistaken assignment to the Penguin space crew when somebody at the Federation apparently thought that Kevin's instrumentally specialist meant that he was good at reading instruments, not playing them. Nonetheless, he has made special contributions to each and every penguins' mission.

## Personality

Kevin is the ship's...Kevin. He is somewhat ignorant. A lot of times he will answer questions and save planets without even knowing he could. One time, Kevin proved he had the ability to speak to aliens who don't speak English. This was expanded later when Kevin could understand what B.I.N.G. was saying. This trait was also shown where Kevin can talk to the invading ants on Rigel 13. He even knows how to pilot the Rockhopper when the rest of the crew were captured by Baron von Cavitus.

Kevin remains a favorite of fans due to his funny one-liners and silent personality.

## Trivia

* According to an older version of the Big Idea website, if he wasn't on a spaceship crew, he would be shearing sheep in the Falklands and eating biscuits on the beach with his mom.
* He is the only one to not have a rhyming name.
The DaVincibles

* Picture
* Watch
* Promo

"*We're a family of brave explorers! No sissy stuff for us!*"
―Uncle Leo (Bar-B-Clueless)
***The DaVincibles*** is an Italian animated series that revolves around siblings Pablo and Zoe, who, along with their uncle Leo, travel the world to find special, mostly art-related, relics for Leo’s antique store, the Kurios Kat.

## Premise

From the pyramids of Egypt to the surface of the Moon, the DaVincibles are always looking for an adventure! The DaVincibles is a zany cartoon character comedy series packed with funny and absurd characters in search of wild, slapstick action. Pablo DaVinci and Zoe DaVinci have a serious sibling rivalry as they travel the world with their hilariously inept but loveable Uncle Leo to find artifacts to sell at his antique shop. The Society of Very Bad Villains (S.V.B.V.) and their leader Quba, the Picasso-faced worst artist in the world, must get the curious family of explorers out of their way in order for their evil plans to succeed. Even though the DaVincis frequently cross paths with them throughout their world travels, they stay invincible and keep the S.V.B.V. from obtaining world domination!

## Trivia

* The DaVincibles was one of the first two shows to start off The Big Blow Up, the other being Cosmic Quantum Ray.
* When the show airs on Qubo, it plays in PAL audio, similar to the Filmation series, ToddWorld and Season 1 of Look Kool.
	+ Despite this, three episodes play the end credits in their normal audio.
* Qubo airings of this show skip most of the transition and photo scenes found anywhere else (Kabillion, Amazon Prime Video, etc.).
* The viral video "Charlie Bit My Finger" can be heard in the episode "It's the Gargoyles".
Oto

**Oto** is an anteater, and the captain, conductor, or driver of any vehicle or transport method that the group of explorers use in their adventures. His confidence doesn't always fit with their skills and perfect landings. Oto loves to change clothes, costume or hat and almost always travels with his friend Mundi. Mundi can fix what he breaks. A running gag is that whenever he lands poorly, Doki always ironically says that the landing is perfect.

If you're looking for him, the best place to start is at the end of the clubhouse dock, where his beloved float plane is moored. He adores his plane - really all things that go 'vroom' but especially his plane - and can't bear to be parted from it for long!

This thoughtful, patient boy serves the Team well as their faithful pilot. His encyclopedic knowledge of geography and climate makes him a perfect fit for the job. Oto doesn't always join his friends in exploring, once he's brought them to their destination. Not because he isn't interested, but because there's often a problem with his temperamental plane. Maybe the wheels fell off over Mongolia and now he has to scavenge a pair from a rickshaw. Maybe he and MUNDI (his best friend and co-pilot) have to guard the plane against marauding army ants. But not to worry - Oto thrives on this kind of challenge. Oto always has a 'brainwave' or a 'genius' idea for solving the problem. (Mundi doesn't always think his ideas are quite so genius, but by working together and using a little experimentation - they usually manage to figure things out.

Good

A nine-year-old boy. In the first episode, he looks for a job and is hired on as a gofer and all-round assistant to owner Fast Talking Jack.

A smart, germophobic, and occasionally shy squirrel who works as a stacker at a grocery store called Stash "N" Hoard and is fond of cleaning.

The series encourages kids to appreciate the differences in others and promotes acceptance as it takes preschoolers on pint-sized adventures in a ‘big’ little bug world.

## Premise

Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends is an animated program based on the beloved children's books by David Kirk. Each episode follows the everyday adventures of gentle, kind-hearted Miss Spider and her diverse family and friends and gives young viewers a bug's-eye-view of a whimsical, woodsy wonderland.

The show touches on social and emotional themes that children will recognize from their own lives. The overarching theme is about the importance of getting along with others--our family, our friends, and members of our community. It is meant to serve as a model for children about how to go out into the world and learn to live with others.

## Trivia

* In 2019, Seasons 1 and 3 of the show were re-rated TV-Y7, despite the fact that the show was never meant for the TV-Y7 demographic. No reason was given as to why those seasons were rerated.

The Ferocious Beast

**The Ferocious Beast** is one of the main protagonists of Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. He does not appear very scary or ferocious, however, he can shout louder than anybody. He is yellow, with big red removable spots, and three horns on his head. His favorite catchphrase is "Great googly moogly!", which he says several times per episode.

## Trivia

He first appeared on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists. The friendly bear from Peru—with his old hat, battered suitcase (complete with a secret compartment, enabling it to hold more items than it would appear to), duffle coat and love of marmalade—has become a classic character from English children's literature. Paddington books have been translated into 30 languages across 70 titles and sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. A much loved fictional character in British culture, a Paddington Bear soft toy was chosen by British tunnellers as the first item to pass through to their French counterparts when the two sides of the Channel Tunnel were linked in 1994.

"*Real mature, Bradley!*"
―one of Stacy Stickler's catchphrases
***Stickin' Around*** is a Canadian animated children's television series from Nelvana Limited, which originally aired on Fox Broadcasting Company's Fox Kids block between 1997 and 1998.

According to Nelvana, it uses the "advanced computer graphics of "Boiler Paint," virtually convincing us that kids are creating their own animated series." The show won the Gemini Award for "Best Animated Program or Series" in the spring of 1998, while being nominated once again during the fall of 1998, for the Gemini of the same award.

## Premise

What would happen if kids could draw their own cartoons? Enter into the imaginary creation of eight-year-old Stacy and her best friend, Bradley. Here, the path of everyday life can swerve into a vivid, out-of-this-world roller coaster ride!

## Trivia

* The show was ahead of its time, giving the two lead roles to a girl and her black friend.
* The show is intentionally drawn crudely to simulate a young child's drawing, and it actually looks very convincing.
* When initially run on Fox Kids in 1997, the show was heavily edited to appease the Fox censors. The intro was cut by 15 seconds, references to Pepperoni being dead were removed, etc.
* Rumors speculated that the show was played on "The Three Friends and Jerry Show" on Fox Family Channel (now Freeform) along with Freaky Stories and The Gogs. It is currently unknown if the show or the shorts were aired.
* The show briefly aired on Nickelodeon from October 21-22, 2000.

Spliced

* Picture
* Watch

***Spliced*** is a Canadian animated television series produced by Teletoon and Nelvana. The series made its world premiere on Disney XD in Latin America on April 20, 2009. The series has aired in Canada on Teletoon, in the United States on Qubo, in Australia on ABC Me, in the United Kingdom on Nicktoons, in Latin America on Disney XD, and in Sweden on Nickelodeon. The series began airing in the United States on Qubo on September 19, 2009, until the network dropped it from its lineup on October 24, 2009, but returned on September 28, 2010, as part of its "Night Owl" block and was removed again on March 31, 2012. Beginning early in 2014, YTV began airing reruns on weekdays. From 2014-15, the series was added onto the "Always On" digital platform of Cartoon Network in the United States.

## Premise

The series is a modern take of H. G. Wells' 1896 science-fiction fantasy, *The Island of Doctor Moreau*. Spliced marginally distorts Wells' characters in this modern twist by making the mutants the result of genetic experiments created by recombinant DNA rather than Wells' original vivisection process. As with the original story, these experimental results, plus one platypus not in the original story, live on an isolated tropical island that is called "Keep Away Island" in the cartoon. The mad scientist who created them was arrested and removed by authorities via boat. Left to their own devices, these mutated beasts form a functional society.

## Trivia

* This series was created by Simon Racioppa & Richard Elliott, who also developed Grossology.
	+ In fact, a clip of Grossology was briefly shown in the episode "Same Difference."
* Although this show is Canadian, it premiered in the US on Qubo several months before its debut on its home channel Teletoon.

### Qubo-exclusive?

No

**Knowing Is Growing** is a recurring segment on Spliced where Peri and Entrée give bizarre and stupid lessons to the viewers as opposed to actual information provided on most Qubo shows.

### Segments:

* Antelope - In this short, Fuzzy Snuggums is found by Peri and Entrée, and confronted on the fact that he was shoving antelopes up his nose. Peri then approaches the screen and tells the viewer not to shove antelopes up your nose, while shoving an antelope up Entrée's nose. The short ends with a shot of Entrée dazed, with an antelope lodged directly into his nose.
* Gravy is Not a Vegetable - In this short, the message is about people confusing gravy with vegetables. Peri and Entrée go on about reasons why gravy is quite obviously not a vegetable. Before the short ends, Entrée proclaims that gravy is a fruit.
* Pet Samurai - In this short, Peri and Entrée tell us why NOT to get a samurai as a pet. In the end, they suggest getting a ninja "who makes good cookies".
Piggley Winks

* Young
* Old

### Appearance

YOUNG: Aqua-green wellingtons, apricot sweater, brown shorts, white eyes with black pupils

### Age

8 (young)
"Older than the hills!" (old)

### Citizenship

YOUNG: Raloo Farm, Tara, Ireland
OLD: United States

### Relatives

Sean, Seamus, and Meg (grandchildren); Molly Winks (sister); Mr. and Mrs. Winks (Dad and Mom)

### **Past**

Piggley Winks lived with his parents Padrig and Elly and his younger sister Molly at Raloo Farm in Ireland during the 1950s. His best friends are Dannan O'Mallard, a duck who lives in a hut by a pond with her rarely seen grandmother, and Fernando Toro, known as Ferny, a young bull who lives with his father, the Spanish blacksmith Don Toro in the village of Tara. His rival is the main antagonist, Hector McBadger.

Piggley lives his everyday life on the farm as a normal child, going to school, helping his parents, taking care of his sister, and having adventures, almost always followed by his friends. He has always been interested in stories and legends, and his fertile mind and mischievous spirit put him in many unpredictable situations, like believing fairies turned Ferny into a bug, trying to hatch a supposed dragon's egg, using the Salmon of Knowledge to pass the school exam, and even trying to capture the legendary Fir Darrig.

### **"Present"**

Spry and wry, Grandpa Piggley has a genuine “gift of gab.” Once he sits down to tell his grandchildren a tale from his childhood, it doesn’t take but a minute for the squirmy little piglets to settle down and focus in.

And Grandpa Piggley is not above self- aggrandizement. The hero of his tale is more often than not a tremendously bright and brave and talented young pig named Piggley. As the tale goes on and we dissolve back into the past, we realize that his fond memories are often in direct opposition to what really went on! Of course, his grandchildren are always ready to break into his tale and call his bluff – insisting on the real story – keeping him honest.

Sort of…
Sophie

Sophie is quiet, but she isn’t shy.  She’s inner-directed, an inventor.  Whenever there’s a problem to solve, call Sophie, and she’ll create a quirky contraption that does the trick – out of pipe cleaners, an old cereal box, and a hula-hoop.  (However, Sophie’s inventions are not used to solve plot problems in ways that real kids could not normally solve them.  Rather, they’ll be used for fun or to help move a story forward.)

Sophie is confident and never wastes time worrying about whether she can do something.  She just does it.  While Sophie doesn’t talk a lot or call attention to herself, she’s a strong, calm, steady presence amongst her more “wired” friends.

Sophie has enormous pigtails that stick diagonally out of her head like traffic cones. When Sophie’s trying to think of a new idea, her pigtails will rumble, and when she comes up with the idea, her pigtails will stand straight up like exclamation points. Sophie’s pigtails also serve as wings that actually enable her to fly.

While Sophie may be quiet, she shows her wilder side when she dances, and she’s some dancer! Sophie is Ginger Rogers, Anna Pavlova, and Jennifer Lopez all rolled into one. Sophie’s cat, Mitzi, is equally talented, and the two will often perform in Sophie’s bedroom for Sophie’s fish, Banana.

Sophie lives in an apartment building with Mitzi, Banana, and Mitzi’s three adopted puppies. Sophie loves all animals as long as they have feathers or fur.  Sophie has a special fondness for porcupines
and has invented a special “smooth suit” which smooths down a porcupine’s quills so you can dance with them without getting pricked. On the other hand, Sophie is afraid of spiders and will beg Mitzi to catch them for her.

Qubo on NBC

Qubo launched on September 9, 2006, with the premiere of weekend morning blocks on NBC (which aired exclusively on Saturday mornings, replacing *Discovery Kids on NBC*, a weekly block programmed by the Discovery Kids cable network; renamed The Hub in 2010 and Discovery Family in 2014) and Telemundo (which aired on both Saturday and Sunday mornings); that was followed on September 15 by the introduction of a daytime block on i: Independent Television (now Ion Television), which initially aired on Friday afternoons. At launch, its programming included the first-run animated series *Dragon* (distributed by Scholastic) and *Jane and the Dragon* (produced by Corus subsidiary Nelvana), along with *VeggieTales* and its spinoffs *3-2-1 Penguins!* and *Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures* (produced by DreamWorks Classics subsidiary Big Idea, itself now a part of NBCUniversal) – marking the first time that *VeggieTales* had ever been broadcast as a television program.

With the acquisition of NBCUniversal by Comcast, it was announced on March 28, 2012, that NBC and Telemundo would discontinue their Qubo blocks and replace them with NBC Kids and MiTelemundo –2 separate weekend morning preschool programming blocks which would both be programmed by PBS Kids Sprout, a preschool-oriented television network that came under NBC ownership as part of the merger – on July 7; leaving Ion Television as the only remaining network with a Qubo-branded programming block (with Ion Media acquiring NBCUniversal's interest in the venture). At the time, PBS Kids Sprout was a competing joint venture between Comcast, HIT Entertainment, PBS and Sesame Workshop; NBCUniversal acquired full ownership of the cable network in November 2013, and PBS Kids Sprout's named shortened to just **Sprout** as a result (though it would later become Universal Kids less than four years later as a result of purchasing DreamWorks Animation). Ironically, *Justin Time*, one of the shows that aired on Sprout and NBC Kids at the time, would later premiere on Qubo in 2021. Ion Media Networks acquired the stakes in Qubo held by Classic Media (itself now a part of NBCUniversal), Scholastic, and Corus Entertainment in 2013, with all three companies retaining program distribution partnerships with the network. The Qubo block on Ion Television was renamed as the "Qubo Kids Corner" on January 4, 2015, concurrent with the block's move from Friday to Sunday mornings. Now, it's a two-hour block that airs on Fridays from 7-9AM.

Fudge

Fudge is a dog with big floppy ears. Fudge is sometimes reluctant to get into what he thinks of as scary or embarrassing situations, but he is usually a good sport once participating. He is a bit fussy with his ears, and a source of his reluctance to participate in things. He owns a van called the Zanimo Wagon that he also lives in. He has been friends with Gofrette since they were a puppy and a kitten. He has an older brother named Moocher, who is a mechanic and artist.

Monkey See Monkey Do

* Promo

"*Come on out everybody, and all of you at home too! Let's play Monkey See Monkey Do!*"
―Monkey
**Monkey See Monkey Do** is a colorful, upbeat CGI animated series that encourages children to engage with the show's characters through dance and song.

## Premise

In each episode of Monkey See Monkey Do, a gentle animated monkey finds himself in a different cartoon habitat: an African Savannah, the Arctic, or an American barnyard. He meets an animal there and points out to the viewers how the animal moves differently from people (or monkeys). Live-action preschoolers appear and are led through a short warm-up and then the "Monkey See Monkey Do" dance, with encouragement from the monkey: "Flap your arms and take little steps like the penguin!" After the "Monkey See Monkey Do" dance, a song recaps that day's adventures. The format (as well as the episode length) was changed slightly in Season 2.
