-The show has aired on [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] in Australia (as well as its digital networks [[ABC Kids (Australia)|ABC Kids]] and [[ABC TV Plus|ABC 2]]) from 24 February 2003 to 27 November 2006, [[TVOKids]] in Canada, [[Central (TV channel)|Kids Central]] in Singapore, [[Asia Television|ATV]] in Hong Kong, [[e-Junior]] in the U.A.E., [[Tokyo Broadcasting System|TBS]] in Japan, [[MiniMini]] in Poland, [[Super3]] in Spain, [[Canal Once]] in Mexico, [[Super RTL]] in Germany, [[Pakapaka]] in Argentina, [[Eastern Broadcasting Company|ETTV]] in Taiwan, [[Sveriges Television|SVT]] in Sweden, [[NRK1]] in Norway, [[RTP2]] in Portugal, [[Piwi+|Piwi]] in France and [[Cartoon Network]] (in the former ''[[Cartoonito#Tickle-U (2005–2006)|Tickle-U]]'' block) in the US. Unlike most animated series, when the show was sold to several countries that don't speak English and have English as their first language it was never dubbed or translated into different languages or redubbed with a different range of voices as the characters in the show only had limited dialogue and can only communicate by saying anybody's names making all the voices retained and left alone.
