Trivia about The Hoobs

Channel 4 announced in November 2000 that a new educational series, titled "The Hoobs", had been developed for a pre-school audience.

In a £20 million joint venture between Channel 4 and The Jim Henson Company, the channel commissioned 250 half-hour episodes which were to be broadcast from early 2001 (to replace Sesame Street).

Executive vice-president Angus Fletcher of Jim Henson Television commented that "We are delighted to have the opportunity to pioneer a groundbreaking format which will address the needs of the first truly multi-media generation".
