WHYY for Kids

BoohbahHigh Energy TV
In a magical world of colors, shapes and sounds, five sparkly atoms of energy twirl, jump, and turn and encourage preschoolers to do the same in Boohbah, the newest offering from the producers of the highly acclaimed Teletubbies program.

Humbah, Jingbah, Jumbah, Zing Zing Zingbah, and Zumbah are colorful animated characters who persuade children to jump up and jump in and to think confidently through dance and play. In the interactive "Storyworld" sequence, live-action characters called "Storypeople" engage young viewers as they ask them help solve each episode's "storypuzzle." -- Jennifer Fletcher

Boohbah airs weekdays at 10:30 a.m. beginning Monday, January 19.
