Doizee's show
The problem with most kiddie shows that try to pass themselves as "educational" is that they insult the viewer's attention span or IQ. Let's take Dora for example, I can live without her spouting..."To get through the forest we have to tiptoe. So stand up! Stand up please!" and I can also live without Barney and his irritating I Love You song. Let's face it, Sesame Street lost most of it's charm after Jim Henson passed away (r.i.p) but the muppets on the other hand didn't (heck, the muppets are STILL good) and Blues Clues was as dumb as it gets. The Doizee Club on the other hand actually is educational and teaches the viewers things that are actually useful.
Most kiddie shows are filled with stupid musical numbers. Barney and The Wiggles are probably the most notorious examples of this. The music we have for the Doizee Club is for the most part an original score. Doizee is quite a good singer and actress despite being a puppet ladybug. She sometimes lipsyncs just like Andy Kaufman did on SNL.
The characters in most kiddie shows never seem to be entertaining enough. Doizee on the other hand is so much more different than your typical kiddie show host/character. She may not be able to speak English but her skeals (squeals) and other funny sounds make up for it. Doizee's also quite a good singer and unlike her competition over in New Zealand (his name is Bumble, he's a bee) she is both entertaining and a good teacher. Sure she's a bit clumsy at times but that's just the way she is.
Most kiddie shows end up going stale after so many years of being on the air and the writers run out of ideas. The doizee club on the other hand doesn't, we keep the show fresh by adding new characters and storylines in each episode.
If you are a fan of The Doizee Club tv series you might be interested in joining the Doizee Club fan club, membership fees are reasonably priced, there's lots of activities and other stuff to do- plus there's special benefits that come from membership such as an all access pass to the clubhouse used in the show and movies as well as a tour of the studio we make all our shows and movies, as well as free VIP tickets to the Doizee Club Live stage show which will be comng to a town near you on Wednesday. You also get two exclusive tickets to our theme park/museum. You also get the Doizee Club Official Magazine which is full of cool stuff and each month you get a replica of a prop used from one of the films.
Facts
- My brother and I wrote the screenplay for Leno all in one week. We also wrote all of the songs.
- I played a total of 9 different characters in Leno including Jay (both young Jay and present Jay), Beyondo, Iron Jay, Mr Brain, Evil Jay, Billy Tuttle, Bob Johnson, and Johnny Allegro (the world's handsomest garbage man). While 4 of those ones appeared in both the stage and film versions, Johnny Allegro and Bob Johnson only appeared in the stage version.
- Doizee of the Doizee Club fame was first discovered in Spain.
- As of 2001, the Doizee Club is the most popular show for children of all ages. It won several awards and Doizee herself won herself a place in the tv hall of fame. It's only competition is a New Zealand kiddie show called Bumble which is about a bee.
- The makeup I wore to play Jay and his tonight show characters in the film version of Leno took 3 hours to apply. The makeup was courtesy of our resident makeup expert Dan McCloud. It was very realistic mind you, so realistic that no one could tell it was me they thought it was the real Jay.
- In addition to the original Jay Leno Playtime Friend there's also Beyondo, Iron Jay, Billy Tuttle and Mr Brain. There's also two halloween exclusives Vampire Jay and the Wereleno. The rarest one of these is the Friends Forever Jay Leno Playtime Friend which we gave Jay as a farewell present on his last term as tonight show host.
- Millitary Koalas is our most popular animated series and has about 5 seasons of episodes in all. Season 6 is now airing. The Millitary Koalas movie won several awards at the annual film festival.

Why Doizee Is Different
- The problem with most kiddie shows today is that they insult the viewer's iq or attention span. Blues Clues was as dumb as it gets and that moron of a host Steve didn't help at all (the only time we ever did watch was when Joe was the host and that's because he looked a bit like Jim Carrey in the Truman Show) and Sesame Street lost it's touch way after Jim Henson died. The Doizee Club on the other hand doesn't, and the show actually IS educational and does teach children something- in fact it teaches them many things- and Doizee is quite a good teacher.
- Most kiddie shows tend to have stupid musical numbers in them- okay so the Backyardigans are pretty cute and Lazytown has it's charms but most of the kiddie shows we know of have these stupid musical numbers in them. The Doizee Club on the other hand doesn't and the music for the most half is an original score. Doizee is actually quite a good singer despite being a puppet ladybug. In fact she invented the Silly Doizee Dance.
- The characters in most kiddie shows aren't entertaining enough with the acception of Robbie Rotten from Lazytown and maybe ALL of the Backyardigans. The characters in the Doizee Club are very entertaining on the other hand especially Doizee. Even though she can't speak any English and mainly commuincates by squealing, skealing, giggling and making silly noises and no one understands what she says- she ALWAYS manages to get the message across. She's also a very good performer. Unlike her competition over in New Zealand who is a bee named Bumble (he lives in Kiwifruit Valley)- Doizee is both entertaining and appealing to all ages.
- Finally, another problem with most kiddie shows today is that they go stale after more than a few years of being on the air and the writers run out of ideas. The Doizee Club on the other hand doesn't, we keep the show fresh by adding new storylines and characters in each episode. And the best part is that none of the new characters we add in NEVER end up becoming annoying after a while.

Doizee
Many people love our tv series the Doizee Club. One fan in particular is our friend Andria. She really likes the tv show and the movies because they're not like most kiddie shows. So we're going to tell you all including her- why the Doizee Club is big in terms of popularity.
- The problem with most kiddie shows today is that they insult the viewer's iq or attention span. I can live without Dora spouting out..."To get through the forest we have to tip toe. So stand up! Stand up please." I can also live without Barney the dinosaur and that irritating song of his. Blues Clues was as dumb as it gets and that moron of a host Steve didn't help at all (the only time we ever did watch was when Joe was the host and that's because he looked a bit like Jim Carrey in the Truman Show) and Sesame Street lost it's touch way after Jim Henson died.

Doizee loves to hear from her fans. She loves to get letters and emails from her various fans. On a couple of our earlier posts we've put up Doizee's address and email address. You can send her a fan letter to tell her how much you like her show or you can send one with suggestions for a topic in any future episodes.

Facts about Doizee
Here are some facts about Doizee.
Doizee facts:

Unfortunately Doizee thought it was real and several weeks after that tried to eat him. Jeff Goldblum filled a restraining order against her.
- She commuincates by squeeling or as she calls it.."skeeling". She'll "skeel' at just about anyone or anything.
