List of The Wiggles episodes
The Australian children's music group The Wiggles have produced several television series. The first one, titled The Wiggles aired in 1998 on Seven Network and consisted of 13 episodes. The second series, also titled The Wiggles, aired in 1999 and consisted of 26 episodes.[1] The shows were also broadcast overseas, most notably on the Disney Channel during their Playhouse Disney block.[1]
In 2002, The Wiggles began filming three seasons worth of shows exclusively with Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles (Series 3) aired on ABC 4 Kids in 2002, and The Wiggles Show (Series 4 and Series 5) aired in 2005 and 2006. The network called them "the most successful property that the ABC has represented in the pre-school genre".[1] Paul Field, The Wiggles' general manager, reported that a meeting at a New York City licensing fair with Grahame Grassby, the ABC's acting director of enterprises, led to the ABC's "enthusiastic" agreement to produce The Wiggles' TV shows.[1] The three seasons, along with the first two series, aired on Disney Channel in the U.S.
When Sam Moran replaced original group member Greg Page in 2006, the series titled Wiggle and Learn (Series 6) aired in Australia in 2008,[2] but no longer airs on Disney Channel.
Following the transition to the new Wiggles members at the beginning of 2013, a new television series was developed titled Ready, Steady, Wiggle! and aired from 2013 to 2015, continuing with Wiggle Town in 2016, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle! in 2017, The Wiggles' World in 2020, and a new season of Ready, Steady, Wiggle! in 2021. In 2022, Wiggly Fruit Salad aired with the Fruit Salad TV members joining in. In 2023, Ready, Steady, Wiggle! returned for a fourth season.
