TORONTO – Doozers, the small, hard-working engineers first introduced in the beloved kids' series Fraggle Rock, are returning to TV next month in a new pre-school series on Ontario's educational broadcaster TVO.
Airing weekdays at 9:00 AM and 1:00 in TVOKids' early learning block, Doozers follows the adventures of the Pod Squad, a quartet of "young do-ers" who employ creativity, technology and resilience to realize projects, solve problems and get things done.
Co-produced by The Jim Henson Company and Canada's DHX Media, Doozers premiers February 3 at 9:00 AM on TVO and will be available for streaming at tvokids.com following its broadcast launch.
"We're thrilled to bring Doozers to Ontario families. It's a wonderful series that inspires preschoolers to observe, explore and think critically," said Patricia Ellingson, TVO's creative head of children's and parents' media, in the news release. "We specifically chose this series because we know that science, math and technology education is crucial to student success. If we can spark a child's interest in these areas early on with a program like Doozers, we can help encourage a lifelong passion for these subjects and equip kids for a wide range of career opportunities when they grow up."
