List of Oobi episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oobi is an American children's television series produced by Little Airplane Productions. The show's concept is based on a technique used by puppeteers in training, in which they use their hands and a pair of ping pong balls instead of a full puppet. The main characters are bare hand puppets with eyes and accessories, played by Muppet performers. The show aired on the Noggin channel, which was co-founded by MTV Networks and Sesame Workshop.
Oobi has three seasons: one season of shorts and two seasons of long-form episodes. The shorts are 1–2 minutes each and were aired during commercial breaks. The long-form episodes are 10–13 minutes each.[1][2] The show ran from 2000 to 2005,[3] with reruns continuing until 2013.[4] It ended with 48 shorts and 52 long-form episodes: a total of 100 individual stories. From 2015 to 2020, Oobi was available for streaming through the Noggin streaming app. The show received a variety of awards and nominations, including an Innovation Award from the Television Academy and two accolades from the Parents’ Choice Foundation.[5][6][7]
In 2012, a foreign adaptation titled Oobi: Dasdasi premiered and ran for 78 episodes. It was filmed in Iran and produced by the Iranian network IRIB TV2. In July 2013, Oobi: Dasdasi was sold to broadcasters in Southeast Asia and Japan, becoming one of the first Iranian children's shows to air internationally.
