Moose and Zee on Noggin and Nick Jr.
“Moose and Zee” was a children’s educational television show that was created by Teri Weiss that aired on the Noggin network and Nick Jr. The show was developed by Noggin Network which was a joint venture between Viacom and Children’s Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop). The show was designed to teach preschool-aged children fundamental skills such as counting, the alphabet, and shapes. The show featured short and engaging segments that included music, games, and play.
The main characters of the show were Moose A. Moose, a friendly moose, and Zee, a wise owl. Together, they explored different themes and concepts, using humor and music to keep children entertained while they learned. The show’s bright, colorful animation, as well as its upbeat music, helped to make learning fun and engaging for young children. The voice of the talkative Moose A. Moose character was played by Paul Christie. Zee, on the other hand, communicated through flapping, and blinking.
“Moose and Zee” first aired on the Noggin network in the early 2000s and quickly became a popular show for preschool-aged children. More than 100 animated shorts featuring Moose and Zee were produced, with most of them initially appearing with introductory segments announcing the upcoming shows on Noggin’s lineup.
The end of Moose and Zee
In September 2009, the Noggin channel rebranded and became the Nick Jr. channel. The previous name was left unused for a few years. Despite the rebranding, Moose and Zee segments and shorts were still included until early 2012. The rebranding in March 2012 caused controversy among viewers and parents because of the unexpected departure of Moose and Zee. A Nick Jr. article about the rebranding hinted at “new plans” for the characters, which eventually came to fruition in the form of a streaming app in 2015.
Noggin App Hosts
As of November 11, 2015, 46 of these shorts were made available on the Noggin subscription service, without the introductory segments. Although the hosts were temporarily discontinued in 2012, most of these shorts continued to air on the Nick Jr. channel until 2015. Some segments that did not feature the hosts still aired on the channel, although they were repackaged.
In addition to the television show, several products related to “Moose and Zee” have been produced, including toys, books, and videos. These products have been popular with children and have helped to extend the reach of the “Moose and Zee” brand and its educational message.
