There are several different Hello Kitty (HelloKitty ハローキティ Harōkiti?) TV series, featuring the character Hello Kitty, from the Japanese company Sanrio.
Growing Up With Hello Kitty is a DVD production, currently available in two volumes, featuring Hello Kitty and her twin sister Mimmy as they learn life lessons. Each DVD contains six episodes focusing on issues such as learning how to talk on the phone, cleaning up a messy room and playing nicely. The production has been generally well-reviewed, with viewers pleased by both the quality of the production as well as the educational content.
Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater is a Japanese-American co-produced animated series. The series involved Hello Kitty and her friends doing their own version of popular fairy tales and stories. Each of the 13 half-hour episodes consisted of two 11-minute cartoons, for a total of 26 shows; each show was a spoof of a well-known fairy tale or movie.
Hello Kitty and Friends is an OVA which was exclusively on home video in Japan and the United States in 1994. It also aired on Toon Disney, and in Canada on Treehouse TV in 1997. In the video series, Kitty is a little girl kitten living with her mother, father, and twin sister Mimmy, who is identical to Kitty but has different colored clothes and wears a yellow bow under the opposite ear. Only 13 episodes were imported to the US.
Hello Kitty's Paradise (Japanese: キティズパラダイス Hepburn: Kitizu Paradaisu?, lit. Kitty's Paradise) is a children's variety series that officially ran from 1999 to 2011. Saban Entertainment adapted the third season's shorts into a TV series in the US.

Following the series finale on March 29, 2011, it was immediately replaced by Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream in its timeslot on April 9, 2011.
