Super Why! or The Reading Adventures of Super Why! is an American-Canadian children's CGI animated show developed by Angela Santomero and Samantha Freeman Alpert. The series is produced by New York City-based Out of the Blue Enterprises and Toronto-based DHX Media through its Decode Entertainment division. The show debuted on PBS stations on September 3, 2007 and went on hiatus in October 2012 for 2 years and 10 months. The series resumed again on August 17, 2015. The series airs on PBS Kids and Sprout in the USA, Kids' CBC and Family Jr. in Canada, and as of June 26, 2014, Nick Jr. and Tiny Pop in the UK.
The title character introduces himself as "Whyatt", and welcomes the viewers to "Storybrook Village", a place where all his fairy-tale friends live. Then Whyatt hears a ringtone from his handheld "Super Duper Computer". He answers the call and discovers that he or one of the other characters has a "super big problem". After investigating the nature of the problem, Whyatt summons the "Super Readers", sending out the call: "Calling all Super Readers! To the Book Club!" The four characters, Whyatt, Pig, Red Riding Hood, and Princess Pea, and also Puppy then appear in front of the aforementioned Book Club, which is a building made of books. Whyatt then invites the viewer to say their name, including them among the Super Readers.
Once the characters are assembled, Whyatt's Book Club Mainframe, the main computer, is activated. He plugs in his Super Duper Computer and uploads data about the problem. Meanwhile, the character with the problem stands behind a small lectern made of dominoes and explains the situation.
