Telecast and home media
Starting its TV airing run in 2005, the series premiered on the CBC in Canada in the Kids' CBC morning program schedule. Cookie Jar classified the Doodlebops as their flagship franchise, following their rebranding from the Montreal-based CINAR.[3]
On April 1, 2005, Cookie Jar pre-sold the US broadcast rights to the series to Disney Channel, and the series would premiere on the Playhouse Disney block on April 11, 2005.[4][5] After its removal from Disney Channel on January 2, 2009, the series would later re-air on CBS's Cookie Jar TV block from 2011 to 2013, and on This TV's Cookie Jar Toons block around the same time. In 2016, the show returned to Starz.
In foreign countries, the show has been professionally dubbed into Irish and is broadcast as part of the children's afternoon package Cúla 4 on the Irish-language television station TG4 (including the songs).
By January 2007, following its British free-TV pre-sale to GMTV, the series had been already airing and pre-sold to all Playhouse Disney networks in the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Latin America, among others. The series was also pre-sold to Nickelodeon in France, and VRAK TV in the French-language Canada.[6]
Between 2006 and 2007, Lionsgate Home Entertainment released four DVD volumes of the show.
As of 2022, the show is now streaming on Tubi.
Merchandise
Toyrange
In November 2005, Cookie Jar announced Mattel as the worldwide toy license holder for the show.[7]
Cartoon spin-off
Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show!
In 2009, CBC greenlit a Doodlebops animated spin-off series titled Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show! for Cookie Jar.[8] In September 2009, Cookie Jar announced they would co-produce the series with the German Optix Entertainment, and the Argentian Illusion Studios.[9] In Canada, the series premiered on Kids' CBC on February 20, 2010 and CBS's Saturday morning block in the U.S.[10]
The series focused on the Doodlebops going on a worldwide tour with Bus Driver Bob, a small pink dog named Bop-Bop, and a new character: Mail Snail. These were the only characters to appear in this spin-off. Lisa Lennox, Chad McNamara, and Jonathan Wexler voiced and reprised their roles as Deedee, Rooney, and Moe.
In each episode, Mail Snail would deliver the Doodlebops a video disc sent by a live action child in need of help. The child would then be turned into an animated character and sent to the bus to be a "Doodle for a Day".
Concerts
