The Noddy Shop (found American-Canadian adaptation of British children's TV series; 1998-2000)
The Noddy Shop, also known as Noddy in Toyland in the UK and Australia, or simply Noddy, is a Canadian-American TV series adaptation of Enid Blyton's Noddy created by Rick Siggelkow. The series used recycled footage from the British series Noddy's Toyland Adventures in two part segments during the episodes. It originally aired from September 28, 1998 to February 16, 2000 for a total of 66 episodes on PBS Kids, CBC Kids, Cbbc, TV Poland, and TVOntario’s children’s block TVOKids.
Two versions of the show were made, the first plainly titled Noddy, in which the Noddy's Toyland Adventures segments were re-dubbed with US voices and new music, and the second version known as Noddy in Toyland which kept the original UK audio during the Toyland segments.
