The Wiggles is 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 and toured heavily and would gain popularity in Australia. On July 31, 1998, their first television series would air on the Seven Network and would be very popular in Australia and after release of the Wiggle Time and Yummy Yummy remakes later that year and the debut of their second television series the following year, the group gained international popularity with a new television series being made being produced in the 25 years since their small screen debut.

Depending on when and where their television series aired, the episodes varied in length and content with some episodes being 22 minutes long and some being as short as 11 minutes long. While many of their television output has seen a home media or streaming release, only the episodes being 22 minutes long are viewable today as many of the episodes shorter than 22 minutes were only exclusive to that network or country they aired in and never got a wide release and as a result, most of them have not resurfaced since their last airing.

Series 1 (1998)

Series One would be the first series to air on Sprout after being pulled from Playhouse Disney after seven years and replaced with Imagination Movers. The show aired on Sprout from the original count of 13 episodes to 26 episodes that mostly consists of an original episode's content in one episode and the rest of the episode's content in the next episode. These episodes are the rarest to come by with only two episodes surfacing in their entirety.
