Moose and Zee is an American short-form children's television series originally airing on Noggin from 2003 until 2009, and Nick Jr. from 2009 until 2012. The series premiered on April 7, 2003.
A yellow moose teacher named "Moose" and his bluebird assistant "Zee" introduce preschoolers concepts such as math, reading and colors.
Over 100 shorts were produced over the series' nine-year run. 46 of these shorts have been released as part of the Noggin subscription service as of November 11, 2015.
Several weeks before the series' first airing, advertisements featuring Moose A. Moose were broadcast on Noggin to notify viewers of upcoming schedule changes. The series premiered on April 7, 2003, as part of the Noggin channel redesign. Three other programs premiered alongside Moose and Zee: Tweenies, Miffy and Friends, and the first full-length episode of Oobi (Oobi shorts had aired since 2000).Moose and Zee would continue to air daily on Noggin through the channel's rebranding as Nick Jr. on September 28, 2009, and would air its last episode on March 1, 2012. The series is not currently airing on television, but is available for viewing as part of Viacom's Noggin streaming app released in March 2015. The original 2015 commercial for the Noggin app depicts a child viewing Moose and Zee episodes, marking the first time since 2012 that the characters have been seen on television.
From 2008 until 2012, Moose and Zee shorts were added monthly to the "Preschool" folder included as part of the Nickelodeon On Demand service. During that time, all "Nick Jr. On Demand" promo videos featured Moose A. Moose.
The series was dubbed into Spanish in late 2015, with the dubbed episodes included as part of the Latin American Noggin application. Select episodes were aired on Nick Jr. Latin America at the time of the app's release.
In November 2005, Noggin released products such as clothing, notebooks, holiday ornaments and greeting cards featuring the Moose and Zee logo and its characters. These products were available through the Noggin.com online store. In 2010, Moose and Zee plush dolls, figures, shirts and "crazy straws" featuring the characters were sold at Nickelodeon's Storytime Live! performance and at Nickelodeon Universe. Several of these items are currently available at Nickelodeon Universe's online store.
