Created by Bob Boyle Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, centers on a curious little creature named Wubbzy, who lives in the mythical city of Wuzzleburg. With the help of pals Widget and Walden, he tackles everyday kid problems so he can pursue such interests as chasing flutterflies, eating ice cream and playing hippity-hopscotch. Widget is a mechanical whiz and inventor who owns her own fix-it shop, and Walden is a quirky scientist who finds great wisdom in everything from ancient philosophy to tarot card reading. Each half-hour episode will feature two, 10-minute adventures with themes that are reinforced with original music videos.
Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! is produced by Bolder Media for Boys and Girls in association with IDT/Film Roman. Creator Boyle is exec producer, along with Susan Miller and Fred Seibert, co-founders of Bolder Media for Boys and Girls. Nickelodeon will initially air 26 episodes of the show on its Nick Jr. preschool programming block, which airs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (ET/PT) and is carried by CBS on weekends.
