Hulu Lands Fraggles Spinoff, Minus The Puppets

By way of Gigaom, we learn that Hulu is launching The Doozers this spring. The computer-animated series, consisting of 52 11-minute episodes, is aimed at preschoolers… and is sadly puppet-free. Of course, Fraggle Rock was a Jim Henson creation and one of HBO’s very first original titles debuting way back in 1983 — and a show I remember quite fondly. Like the classic fare, The Doozers is an international production, having been developed in Canada and having already aired in Europe, with Hulu now signing on as its exclusive US distributor. Let’s just hope Hulu continues to shield our kids from their Scientology propaganda and McDonalds ads.
