The Doodlebops
The Doodlebops is a Canadian musical comedy series for preschool children. Beginning its broadcasting run in 2004, the series, produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment airs on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Canada in the CBC Kids morning block, and on the Disney Channel in the USA as part of the Playhouse Disney morning programming schedule. The series stars are Lisa J. Lennox as Deedee Doodle, Chad McNamara as Rooney Doodle, and Jonathan Wexler as Moe Doodle.
The Doodlebops' characters are members of a kids' band, not unlike The Wiggles. The creators of the series are producer/director Jamie Waese, Cookie Jar executive Michael Hirsh and Carl Lenox (not related to the actress who plays Dee Dee).
The show features a mix of music, humor and skits that teach social lessons. The show always includes scenes from a concert in front of a preschool audience who actively participate in the singing and dancing.
The band members wear heavy makeup and/or prosthetics to look like live-action cartoon characters. During the first season, they wore cloth hoods with fake ears. Thereafter, the band used flashier costumes during their concert segments, incorporating sequins and metallic fabrics.
