The Hoobs - Quality Entertainment

[Luke]

oops sorry about that ! They have the Hoobs in Canada right ? Do they leave the VT's with the British kids in or re-shoot them with Canadian ones ? I've always seen the credits for a canadian production team at the end of the show and wondered what they do.

They leave the inserts intact - precocious British kids and all. If you knew Canadian television, you'd know that there is no chance in h*ll that they would spend money if they didn't have to!

The problem with the Hoobs in Britian, is that it's shown at stupid O' Clock in the morning, so not a lot of people are up to see it. I have to get up early quite a lot, so I very often get to see it. IT RULES!

Hoobs.. Jim Henson 'soundtrack'

The Hoobs. What a brilliant prog for kids, good learning, too! It's on at 6am here, my 2 year old is a HUGE fan, she won't sleep without Tula!!! What would be good is if someone made an album of all the songs that Jim has made. I'd buy it.........Wouldn't u?????

I think British accents scare American children!

I have to disagree. British accents are heard all the time. If a character needs to sound distinguished, a British accent is used. Zazu in Lion King. Kipper (a British export) on Nickelodeon. Mary Poppins. Half of the people in Star Wars. When I was in high school, I was crazy about this beautiful girl, partly because she had a British accent (even though she was born in South Africa, her parents are from the isle). My brother would talk with an Liverpudlian(?) accent if he had his way, being a HUGE Beatles fan. Do British people think that Americans have either a Brooklyn, NY or Southern accent?
