Time Warp Trio is a Canadian-American animated television series based
on the children's book series of the same name. Created by Jon
Scieszka, the series was produced by Soup2Nuts in association with
WGBH Boston and was aired on Discovery Kids and The Hub (now Discovery
Family) in the United States and on CBBC in the United Kingdom. It
also aired as part of a two-hour Discovery Kids block on NBC until
September 2, 2006. Despite being produced by WGBH Boston, the show was
planned to air on PBS Kids in 2005, but it never happened. Despite
this, PBS Kids currently owns the distribution rights to the
series.Time Warp Trio was cancelled on July 15, 2006 (during a
marathon featuring six other new episodes) and on NBC on September 2
(also marking the end of the "Discovery Kids on NBC" block).For his
tenth birthday, Joe receives a mysterious blue book from his magician
uncle and namesake, "Joe the Magnificent," known only as "The Book".
Using a number of often unpredictable and/or unintentional voice and
print cues, The Book frequently transports Joe and his friends, Fred
and Sam, to a variety of places in history, like Ancient Egypt, the
Old West and to the year 2105, where they meet their own
great-granddaughters, Jodie, Samantha, and Freddi. The only way they
are able to return present-day Brooklyn, New York is to find The Book
again within whatever time period they are in. Later in the series,
Joe's evil uncle, Mad Jack, makes several attempts to capture the
children and The Book with his crafty tricks, whether stranding them
in Antarctica (where The Book doesn't work) or trying to make their
new home in China (during the Tang Dynasty).These members of Time Warp
Trio are the main characters from the show.
