Noodle and Doodle is an American live action children's television series, which premiered on September 25, 2010, and ended on March 9, 2013. [1] The series was created by John McCoy, produced and directed by Kristopher Updike. The series was the first long form television series on Sprout (Universal Kids).

Contents

Production

The show began production in 2010. It was originally launched by Enthusiastic Productions. The series was produced by Kristofer Updike and (from 2010-2013) Grooters Productions. The show was filmed in Holland, Michigan at Hope College, and Philadelphia, PA with some scenes filmed around West Michigan and Philadelphia. [2]

Format

The show began with a double-decker bus driving around West Michigan and Southeastern Pennsylvania, driven by Sean Roach. Sean then visited a family to get ideas for a recipe and a craft. Doodle then drew out a "blueprint" for what Sean could make. He taught the viewing audience how to make healthy recipes and crafts step-by-step with help from his friend Noodle McNoodle.

There was also an animated segment called "Doggity's", where Sean's pet beagle, Doggity, also makes a recipe with his other dog friends in a restaurant in Doggity's imagination.

Sometimes, Sean and the children would recycle an object from the recipe to use for a craft. [3]
