The Wiggles are a popular children's group that formed in 1991 in Sydney, Australia. They are known for their hits Hot Potato, Get Ready To Wiggle, Fruit Salad and many others. Between 1991 and 1998, they mostly released albums and videos, toured heavily, and gained popularity in Australia. By the turn of the century, the group gained global popularity and their albums, videos, television shows and tours would become hugely successful, The new Wiggles series, Wiggle Time!, consists of themed episodes that feature favorite segments from classic series, along with new introductions and additional material. These segments span from Taking Off! to Wiggle Pop!, offering a nostalgic yet refreshed viewing experience for fans. Unlike other series by The Wiggles, Wiggle Time! does not contain any newly filmed content specifically for the series (with an exception with the prologues at the beginning of the episodes). Instead, it compiles footage from existing videos, which is presented with new introductions by the cast.

History

Federation Square in Melbourne initially offered Wiggle Time! as part of a promotion to order tickets for The Wiggles' Wiggle Pop! Big Show tour across Australia in 2018. This event was aimed at generating excitement for the tour and provided families with a preview of the upcoming performances. The series was later picked up by Treehouse TV, where it made its official broadcast debut.

Availability

Wiggle Time! appears to be exclusive to the Canadian TV channel Treehouse TV. No other country or channel has aired the series (outside of Canada), and there has been no YouTube, DVD, or digital release of the series, making it unique among The Wiggles' productions. This exclusivity has contributed to its relative obscurity, as fans outside Canada have had limited access to the series. Despite its exclusive airing on Treehouse TV in August 4, 2019 and its re-airings in 2023, Wiggle Time! remains relatively obscure due to the lack of broader distribution. Fans have expressed interest in seeing the series made available on other platforms. There has been no official announcement regarding future releases or availability outside Canada. All episodes are completely found but All of the episodes had Video Descriptive service.
