The Fox Cubhouse (Jomaribryan's version)

The Fox Cubhouse was an American preschool children's television series that aired weekday mornings on Fox Kids from 1994 through 1996. It ran for 234 episodes within two seasons. The show was an anthology series comprising several children's series; two series were pre-existing international shows and three more were produced especially for Fox.

Programs

 * Jim Henson's Animal Show (1994-1996)
 * Johnson and Friends (U.S. dub) (1994-1996)
 * Rimba's Island (1994-1996)
 * Budgie the Little Helicopter (1995-1996)
 * Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie (1995-1996)

Production history
In 1994, Ron Saunders (executive producer of Johnson and Friends) approached Jay Rayvid, a producer at WQED, Pittsburgh's local PBS station (known for producing Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) to see if the station was interested in helping to get Johnson and Friends on television in the United States. Jay agreed, but was unable to find a market for the series as a standalone program. Around the same time, Fox Kids was looking to start a preschool series, thus the Fox Cubhouse was created.

WQED and Fox teamed up and implemented Johnson and Friends, Rimba's Island and Jim Henson's Animal Show into this concept. The latter two series were specifically produced for the Cubhouse, but were also shown independently in many other countries. In addition, the Fox Cubhouse itself was shot at WQED.

The series featured a woman named Rosie (played by Nancy Mura) who, with several puppet animal characters, introduced and served as the outro for the programs within. Jim Henson's Animal Show was shown on Mondays and Fridays, Johnson and Friends was shown on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Rimba's Island was shown on Wednesdays.

The Fox network executives believed   that the Australian accents in Johnson and Friends would confuse American viewers, so the series was dubbed over by local Pittsburgh actors, with the exception of Alfred, who was performed by his original Australian actor, Peter Browne. Several additional songs and music tracks were written by Chris Neal and his son Braedy, who had previously composed the score and songs for the original version of Johnson and Friends, as Fox felt that some of the earlier episodes were "too quiet" and didn't fit the atmosphere they wanted for the series. Instrumental versions of preexisting Johnson songs were also used. Series director Ian Munro maintained a level of creative control over the American version of Johnson and Friends and was involved with voice direction.

The Fox Cubhouse became a short-lived success, and Fox commissioned an additional seasons of 26 episodes of Johnson and Friends, Jim Henson's Animal Show and Rimba's Island for the Cubhouse's second season. However, the second season was a complete revamp and the characters, setting, and the entire premise were changed. Only the programs within the Cubhouse remained the same. Two new shows, Magic Adventures of Mumfie and Budgie the Little Helicopter were also added to the series. While previous Cubhouse episodes would featured two episodes of Johnson and Friends, the second season sometimes paired a single episode with an episode of Budgie the Little Helicopter or Magic Adventures of Mumfie (due to the fact that all three programs had a running time of ten minutes).

The Fox Cubhouse was taken off the air in early-mid 1996 and has not aired since. It is believed that most if not all of the master tapes of the program were wiped or junked, however several master copies of the Americanized Johnson and Friends episodes are known to exist.
