The Fox Cubhouse

The Fox Cubhouse is a 1994, American, mainly live-action, television series that aired as part of the Fox Kids block of the Fox Network. It was co-created by Donna Mitroff and Jay Rivvid with co-production between Fox Children's Network Inc. and WQED, the Pittsburgh affiliate of PBS.

Overview
The Fox Cubhouse was a place where kids would gather for some fun. During the first season, the show was hosted by a woman named Rosie ( portrayed by Nancy Mura), who was accompanied by animal friends: A fox named Cammy, a dinosaur named Silbert, and a bird named Fogel, as well as a mailbox named Mailvin. The parts of the show featuring them were the wraparounds or the bookends, opening and closing the show. The beginning of each episode would have the characters doing something that's related to a theme. Then, that would be followed by something else that shared that same theme. One of the three, other live-action programs that would be shown between the wraparounds was an import of an Australian puppetry show called Johnson and Friends, Jim Henson's Animal Show, or Rimba's Island. These segments alternated with each day of the week. Animal Show would air on Mondays and Fridays, Johnson and Friends on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Rimba's Island on Wednesdays. In Johnson and Friends, most of the characters' voices were re-dubbed for American English (with the exception of Alfred's) and the Australian slang, and terminology, were dropped.

By the second season, the format, setting, and premise of the show had been changed, and the host, and puppet characters, were replaced. The new host was a woman named Sunny (portrayed by Ellaraino Edwards) and the new puppets were a fox named Freddie and a sunflower named Bill. The already established, other programs that were shown in the middle remained, but a couple cartoons were added to the lineup: Britt Allcroft's The Magic Adventures of Mumfie and Budgie the Little Helicopter. The former was paired with Johnson and Friends on Tuesdays and the latter with the same series on Thursdays to fill in the running time, since both of those were 10 minutes each.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The bookended, main, live-action segments have plenty of enjoyment to them and they often don't disappoint.
 * 2) The writing of the main segments is well enough that it is befitting to go along with whatever theme it's setting up to match that with the middle segment of the day.
 * 3) It features a variety of both live-action and animated, middle segments to choose from as any favorite.
 * 4) The characters of the bookend segments, especially from the first season, are likable, enjoyable, well-written, and memorable.
 * 5) The puppets are decently constructed and designed.
 * 6) The theme song from the first season is pleasant enough in its cheerfulness. The musical numbers are nice as well.
 * 7) Both the acting and puppeteering/voice-acting is abundantly sincere and doesn't seem/sound wooden nor forced.
 * 8) It isn't one of those shows that mindlessly talks down to kids and those outside that demographic will still find it entertaining. It's plainly one of the most well-put together children's/family shows ever made. The co-creators really knew how to craft a quality show.
 * 9) Some funny moments with the puppets.
 * 10) Appropriately written lines of dialogue.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Depending on one's view, the original format and cast members of the show may be missed by some, and preferred.
