Wimzie's House is a half-hour Canadian preschool television program
produced in Montreal which ran as La Maison de Ouimzie on Télévision
de Radio-Canada in the morning and Radio-Québec in late afternoons
starting September 4, 1995, and in English on CBC Television starting
October 21, 1996 and in the United States on Public Broadcasting
Service (PBS) from September 1, 1997 to August 31, 2001. Reruns of the
show aired in the United States on the Cookie Jar Toons block on This
TV, in syndication as part of the Cookie Jar Kids Network block, and
on Light TV from December 22, 2016 to September 30, 2019. The series
was produced by Cinar (now Cookie Jar Entertainment), with the PBS
telecasts presented by Maryland Public Television from 1997 to 2001.
The show's puppetry is in the style of Sesame Street, which led to
some legal troubles with The Jim Henson Company, in 2000. There were
two FMV PC games based on the series. Treehouse TV also aired this
show in reruns from 1999 to December 2005.Wimzie is a little girl
monster who lives with her parents (Rousso & Graziella), grandma
(Yaya), and baby brother (Bo). The basic plot was that Wimzie's
friends would always come over for the day and they would play
together. This usually resulted in a problem and two songs that would
eventually lead to the moral of the episode. The cast never expanded
beyond the eight main characters. There were some friends and
neighbors mentioned, but they never made a real physical
appearance.(Voices listed here are for the English-language version.)
