Oobi (Nick Jr show)

[Spengebab]

This is one of the most underrated kids shows of all time.
Here's the theme song

Anyway the show's surreal nature makes the show hilarious and just makes me wish it got more episodes. All of the show is uploaded to YouTube BTW. I highly recommend it.

This looks like a SNL sketch.

From the looks of it, it kind of remind me of the Stick Stickly thing back then on Nick.

We never got that show here in Portugal but I do remember Oobi's page on Noggin's website.

BUT he has alot to see AND DO

Grampu has no friends . That reresents his turmoil through only having his grandson left.

And where's Oobi's mother and father, did he die in the war? We will never know.

Oh dear, that thing again? That show sure felt awkward and downright bizarre...

The show was produced by a guy here in NY named Josh Selig, who's best known for making several preschool series like the Wonder Pets. He runs a company called Little Airplane Productions (the name was taken from a short film he did when he worked on Sesame Street many many years ago) that produced Oobi and his other shows; his studio is based at the South Street Seaport, believe it or not.

Back to the weird talking hand thing, it basically ran for two seasons around 2003-04 on the Noggin channel. The characters came about from a series of short interstitials done a few years prior for the channel. As you might have guessed, the show was produced on a low budget; what would you expect from a small studio working for a small network?

Thanks for providing a history of Oobi.

Anyway in my opinion the best episode of the show is Oobi's Car. The humor works especially well in this episode and it's just fun to watch.

Sadly the series got cancelled
