Bubble Guppies: American Preschool Children's TV Series



Bubble Guppies is an American preschool children's television series produced for Nickelodeon and created by Jonny Belt and Robert Scull. The series revolves around the underwater adventures of a group of mermaid-like preschoolers. The program premiered on January 24, 2011 as part Nickelodeon's block, The Play Date.
All the episodes generally follow the same format. The episode starts with a sketch of Molly saying "Hi its me Molly and its time for-" only to be stopped by Gil doing the subject of the show (example: He shows Molly different colored bubbles in "The Crayon Prix!"). When Gil or Molly says "It's time for Bubble Guppies!", the theme song starts. After the theme song, The Little Fish say the episode's name.
Something happens when the character goes to school (example: Avi breaks his tail in Call a Clambulance!), so he or she tells Mr. Grouper about it. He states "Let's think about it." and the characters and Mr. Grouper say information about the topic after this. Then the pop song for the episode (example: "I Want a Pet Today" in Bubble Puppy!) starts.
One of the Guppies will go to a shop that mostly focuses on the topic (example: A Doctor's Office in Call a Clambulence!). The owner of the shop (played by another one of the Guppies) will asks questions about what he or she needs. Later, Mr. Grouper comes into the shop and says it's time for lunch. At lunch the characters make a food joke about the subject of the episode (example: Molly gets pizza and a banana, Oona gets a sandwich and a cookie, and Deema gets a sandwich and an ice cream sundae in The Moon Rocks!). After lunch, another Gil and Molly sketch is shown.
The Guppies do something fun which leads Mr. Grouper talking more about the topic, which leads into a dancing song (example: "Construct With Me" in Build Me A Building!). Mr. Grouper then says it's time to go outside and the Guppies make a story about the topic (example: A princess who wants to build a fort from a dragon to protect her graham crackers in Build Me A Building!). After this, Gil and Molly do another sketch.
The Guppies go on a field trip that focuses on the topic (example: a live marching band in Ducks in A Row!), and the show concludes with the last Gil and Molly sketch and a shorter version of the theme song.
