List of Oobi episodes Oobi is an American children's television series created by Josh Selig. The series centers on a group of four characters represented by bare hand puppets with eyes and accessories. It was highly influenced by Sesame Street, which Selig had worked on since its first season. The concept is based on a technique used by puppeteers learning to lip-sync, in which they use their hands and a pair of ping pong balls in place of a puppet. The cast of Oobi consists exclusively of Muppet performers. Tim Lagasse, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Noel MacNeal, and Tyler Bunch play the main characters. The series aired on Nickelodeon and its sister network Noggin, which was jointly owned by Nickelodeon and Sesame Workshop at the time. Oobi began as a series of two-minute shorts, which were broadcast from 2000 to 2002. It was announced in March 2003 that it was being developed into a full-length series. The full-length series debuted on April 7, 2003, and the series ended on February 11, 2005. Two seasons of full-length episodes, each consisting of 26 segments, were produced. Since 2015, Oobi has been available for streaming through the Noggin mobile app. The program received a variety of awards and nominations throughout its run; these include an Innovation Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which presents the Primetime Emmys, and two accolades from the Parents’ Choice Foundation. In 2012, a spin-off series 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.
