The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss was a children's television series that aired on Nickelodeon from 1996-1998. The show used Jim Henson's Muppet technology to bring Dr. Seuss's beloved characters to life. Each episode followed the adventures of a young boy named Nick who visited the zany world of Dr. Seuss. Each episode had a different story that was filled with colorful characters, music, and humor.

The show was hosted by a large, orange bird named The Cat in the Hat who acted as the narrator and guide through this peculiar world. The Cat in the Hat was operated by puppeteer Martin P. Robinson, who also created the voice for the character. The show's other puppeteers included Leslie Carrara, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, John Kennedy, Tim Lagasse, Bruce Lanoil, and Kathryn Mullen.

One of the show's most popular characters was Horton the Elephant, voiced by Bruce Lanoil. In the show, Horton was a gentle giant who loved to care for small creatures, including a Whoville dust speck that he discovered. Other characters included The Grinch, Yertle the Turtle, The Sneetches, and Thing One and Thing Two, among others.

Each episode had a different theme that revolved around Dr. Seuss's beloved stories. For example, one episode focused on the importance of cleaning up after oneself, while another episode centered on the value of friendship. The show was designed to be both educational and entertaining, with plenty of humor to engage young viewers.

The music in the show was also a major highlight, with catchy songs and musical numbers scattered throughout each episode. The music was composed by David Catlin-Birch, with lyrics written by Dr. Seuss himself. Each song had a different style, ranging from jazzy numbers to catchy pop tunes.

Throughout the show, the puppeteers made clever use of the Muppet technology, creating lifelike and expressive characters that drew viewers in. The puppeteers used their voices and movements to bring each character to life, with their performances adding to the overall charm and humor of the show.

Despite only running for two seasons, The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss was a beloved children's television show that left a lasting impact on its viewers. The show's colorful characters, catchy tunes, and imaginative world continue to inspire and delight audiences of all ages.

The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss is a series that ran for 2 seasons (45 episodes) between October 13, 1996 and on Nickelodeon
