Reruns

The series began to be rerun by Canal Futura from 8 December 2008, but the channel only aired the episodes of the first four seasons of the series, except for the last episode of the fourth season "O Pequeno Samurai" with only half of the episode, due to the following seasons being formatted as a telenovela and the episode "O Pequeno Samurai" being considered inadequate and too strong for the channel's educational standard. For some reason, the seventh and final season, which is not in the soap opera format, was never released by Rede Globo. The series was also aired on the subscription channel Gloob, which managed to release all seasons, but the show only aired until the fourth season, and after some time took the series off its schedule, before airing the last few seasons. It was also shown by Canal Viva, and by TV Cultura from 30 August 2013 to 27 June 2014, until it went off the air because of the return of the series Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum on the channel's programming from 30 August 2014.

Production

Years after the end of the contract between Monteiro Lobato's heirs and Rede Globo, for the production of the series in the 70s and 80s of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, in 1999 Cíntia Abravanel, daughter of television presenter Silvio Santos, intended to get the rights for a new adaptation of the works of Monteiro Lobato on SBT, his father's network. However, Silvio Santos showed no interest in the idea, and the rights then returned to Rede Globo.[11]

Globo, in turn, began to produce a new adaptation of the Sítio in July 2000 and on 12 October 2001 started to show it in the children's program Bambuluá, in a special edition for Children's Day. Finally, from 22 December 2001, the Sítio was shown separately.
