Noodle and Doodle is an American live action children's television series, which premiered on May 24, 2010, and ended on March 9, 2013.[1] The series was created by John McCoy, produced and directed by Kristopher Updike. The series was the first long form television series on Sprout (Universal Kids).

Production

[edit]

The show began production in 2010. It was originally launched by Enthusiastic Productions. The series was produced by Kristofer Updike and (from 2010-2013) Grooters Productions. The show was filmed in Holland, Michigan at Hope College, and Philadelphia, PA with some scenes filmed around West Michigan and Philadelphia.[2]

Format

[edit]

The show began with a double-decker bus driving around West Michigan and Southeastern Pennsylvania, driven by Sean Roach. Sean then visited a family to get ideas for a recipe and a craft. Doodle then drew out a "blueprint" for what Sean could make. He taught the viewing audience how to make healthy recipes and crafts step-by-step with help from his friend Noodle McNoodle.

There was also an animated segment called "Doggity's", where Sean's pet beagle, Doggity, also makes a recipe with his other dog friends in a restaurant in Doggity's imagination.

Sometimes, Sean and the children would recycle an object from the recipe to use for a craft.[3]

Characters

[edit]
  • Sean (portrayed by Sean Roach) is the host of the show, driver of the bus, and the person who makes the recipes and crafts.
  • Noodle McNoodle (performed by Bianca Goode in Season 1, Stacy Nesbit in Season 2) is a lovable puppet of indeterminate species who assists Sean on making and cooking recipes and likes to use her "noodle". In specific episodes, Noodle can dress up in different costumes to match the theme of the episode.
  • Doodle is a virtual bus-shaped computer who creates the recipe and craft ideas.
  • Doggity is Sean's downstairs pet beagle who lives on the bus in the live-action segment and becomes animated as a chef in a restaurant within his imagination called "Doggity's". At the end of every cartoon short, he would say "Now that's doggone good!" and would wink.
  • Deedeldee is a poodle who is seen in the "Doggity's" segments working as a waitress. She is the one who tells Doggity who has just ordered something at the restaurant.
  • Mack is a bulldog who is seen in the "Doggity's" segments working as a cook. When Mack tries to make a dish for the customers that just ordered, he would accidentally make a mess and he would quote "I'll get the mop again." After Doggity makes the dish for the specific customers, Mack would quote "It'll never work!" as Deedeldee tells him that he keeps saying it. In the "Moms" episode, Mack quoted "It might just work!" as Deedeldee remarks "Wow, Mack! You never say that!"
  • Tony is a pug with a sea captain motive who is seen in the "Doggity's" segments working as a cook. When it comes to the customers' recent orders, Tony would recap about an event in his life that revolves around that until Deedeldee would correct him. Tony would then make a comment to follow up on Deedeldee's comment. After Doggity completes the dish for the specific customers, Tony would quote "Order Up.".
