WordGirl

Ferraiolo, who developed the series with Gillim and served as the series' head writer in season one, received an Emmy for his work on WordGirl.

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media described the series as having a "brainy heroine [who] uses vocab to outwit bad guys." She also called it an "entertaining animated series" with some cartoon violence and said that it is an "excellent...choice for young grade-schoolers." In 2022, Collider attested that the "non-white, little girl superhero" protagonist of WordGirl began a television trend on social media.

Huggy Face, who was a pilot in the Lexicon Air Force, was flying the ship but lost control when the child WordGirl awoke and startled him, causing a crash-landing on Earth, more specifically in Fair City.

WordGirl began in 2006 as a series of shorts airing immediately after Maya & Miguel, becoming an independent show in September 2007.

Each eleven-minute segment in each episode (except for the first three episodes) begins with verbal instructions to listen for two words that will be used throughout the plot of that episode.
