The show was co-produced by Mememe Productions (Australia) and Decode Entertainment (Canada).[3] It was commissioned by CBeebies, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).[3] Kids' CBC stopped airing new episodes of the show on September 2, 2011.

Fifty-two eleven minute episodes were commissioned. The show first aired on CBC on October 5, 2009, on CBeebies on November 2, 2009, and on ABC on December 4, 2009. It aired in the United States on the cable channel Sprout, on April 22, 2010.[4] The show had a limited run and can be considered canceled.
