'''''Oobi''''' is a puppet TV series that was co-produced by Sesame Workshop and Nickelodeon. From 2003 to 2005, it ran for two seasons of 26 half-hour episodes on Nickelodeon and its sister channel Noggin. It became a staple of Noggin, and achieved higher Nielsen ratings than any other show on the channel by season two.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081006214728/http://www.medialifemagazine.com/News2005/jan05/jan03/5_fri/news4friday.html Media Life Magazine, January 2005] Retrieved 24 Feb '19.</ref> All of the full episodes are widely available and have been released on several different platforms, including Amazon Video, YouTube, and Noggin's mobile app.
The first season of the Noggin/Nickelodeon show ''Oobi'' was a series of two-minute interstitial shorts.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20041227045328/http://www.worldscreen.com/print.php?filename=selig Interview with Little Airplane's Josh Selig] Retrieved 24 Feb '19.</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120807181845/http://www.hello.timlagasse.com/2011/02/06/directing-resume/ Tim Lagasse's website] Retrieved 15 Oct '20.</ref> These shorts were billed as '''''Noggin Presents: Oobi''''' and aired during commercial breaks on Noggin and Nickelodeon, beginning in 2000. They were shown regularly until April 2003, when the show was turned into a half-hour series for its second season. Nickelodeon stopped airing the shorts altogether on their main network, but sparse airings continued on Noggin until 2007.


The show was based on a series of two-minute shorts featuring the same characters.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20041227045328/http://www.worldscreen.com:80/print.php?filename=selig Interview with Little Airplane's Josh Selig] Retrieved 24 Feb '19.</ref> They were filmed in the late 1990s and pitched to Noggin while it was jointly owned by Nick and Sesame Workshop. They started airing in 2000 during commercial breaks. They continued to air alongside the full episodes from 2003 to 2007, albeit much less frequently. Noggin pulled the plug on its relationship with Sesame Workshop on September 10, 2007, causing the shorts and several other Sesame Workshop programs to be removed from the schedule.
The half-hour episodes are widely distributed; all of them have been released by Nickelodeon in "Complete Series" collections on Amazon Video and YouTube. However, the full set of ''shorts'' hasn't seen an official release. A good number of them have been found in home-recorded tapes of Noggin and Nick Jr., but the rest are not currently available online.
 
==Premise==
The show is set in a neighborhood populated by bare-hand puppets, and is shown from the perspective of a 4-year-old boy named Oobi. The puppets tend to interact with the audience and encourage them to join in on whatever they are doing. The puppets speak in clipped sentences (ex. "Uma, school, first day!" instead of "It's my first day of school!").
 
Oobi lives in an old-fashioned single-story home with his excitable little sister, Uma, and somewhat hapless grandfather, Grampu. Oobi's best friend, Kako, lives right across the street and visits often. Each episode focuses on Oobi discovering or learning more about a particular concept, such as a game or sport. Uma and Kako provide comic relief, often misunderstanding Oobi's discoveries in a comical way.


==History==
==History==
The shorts were pitched to Noggin in the late 1990s under the working title ''Pipo''.<ref name="kidscreen">[http://kidscreen.com/content/pdf/51180.pdf#page=32 Kidscreen article - "The Name Game: Deconstructing the fine art of kids show titling"] Retrieved 24 Feb '19.</ref> Josh Selig has indicated that there was some kind of pilot presentation with "Pipo" as the main character's name,<ref name="kidscreen"/> but no images have been found.
In the United States, the shorts were shown on Noggin and Nickelodeon during its Nick Jr. block. Like its other interstitial programming, Nickelodeon had no specific schedule for airing them and played the shorts at random intervals. On Noggin, one short was played before each 30-minute show from 6 AM to 6 PM.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.noggin.com:80/activities/oobi/home.swf?feature=1 Archive of Noggin's Oobi homepage] Retrieved 24 Feb '19.</ref> After the second season started airing on April 7th, 2003, Noggin stopped airing the shorts as frequently and adopted the same randomized schedule as Nick Jr.

In Canada, TVOntario aired 46 of the shorts on a rotating schedule.<ref>[http://www.ontla.on.ca/library/repository/ser/13855/2004/200401jan.pdf TVOntario schedule from January 2004] Retrieved 24 Feb '19.</ref> TVO's schedule catalogs are the source of official titles for many of the shorts. However, some of them ("Itsy Bitsy Spider!" and "Toys!") don't appear at all on their schedules, indicating that TVO didn't air the complete collection.

Although the full episodes are widely available and can be watched for free [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCypysWGpVkHdEIloVy6yo-A| on YouTube], very few of the shorts have had an official release. Shortened versions of "Dance!" and "Bubble Bath!" were released on Nick Jr. DVDs in 2003, but that was it. 48 shorts are confirmed to exist, but it is unknown how many were made in total.

Noggin-Presents-Oobi.png

A scene from the intro used for Noggin airings.

Status: Partially Lost

The first season of the Noggin/Nickelodeon show Oobi was a series of two-minute interstitial shorts.[1][2] These shorts were billed as Noggin Presents: Oobi and aired during commercial breaks on Noggin and Nickelodeon, beginning in 2000. They were shown regularly until April 2003, when the show was turned into a half-hour series for its second season. Nickelodeon stopped airing the shorts altogether on their main network, but sparse airings continued on Noggin until 2007.

The half-hour episodes are widely distributed; all of them have been released by Nickelodeon in "Complete Series" collections on Amazon Video and YouTube. However, the full set of shorts hasn't seen an official release. A good number of them have been found in home-recorded tapes of Noggin and Nick Jr., but the rest are not currently available online.

History

In the United States, the shorts were shown on Noggin and Nickelodeon during its Nick Jr. block. Like its other interstitial programming, Nickelodeon had no specific schedule for airing them and played the shorts at random intervals. On Noggin, one short was played before each 30-minute show from 6 AM to 6 PM.[3] After the second season started airing on April 7th, 2003, Noggin stopped airing the shorts as frequently and adopted the same randomized schedule as Nick Jr.

In Canada, TVOntario aired 46 of the shorts on a rotating schedule.[4] TVO's schedule catalogues are the source of official titles for many of the shorts. However, some of them ("Itsy Bitsy Spider!" and "Toys!") don't appear at all on their schedules, indicating that TVO didn't air the complete collection.

Availability

Shortened versions of "Dance!" and "Bubble Bath!" were released on Nick Jr. DVDs from 2003 to 2004, but that was it in terms of official releases. 48 shorts are confirmed to exist, but it is unknown how many were made in total.

Episodes

16 of the 48 known shorts are currently lost. 5 more currently exist in an incomplete form.
