Most people will associate this upcoming Monday with Valentines Day. However, in the world of Disney, this year’s day of love marks another adventure in programming. February 14, 2011 marks the launch of Disney Junior. The children’s television program block will replace the current running Playhouse Disney.
Viewers have been informed that the following programs will be carried over to Disney Junior:
- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (of course)
- Handy Manny
- Little Einsteins
- Jungle Junction
- Chuggington
- Imagination Movers
- Special Agent Oso
They will be joining new Disney Junior programs:
- Jake and the Never Land Pirates
- Doc McStuffins
- Little Princesses
- Babar and the Adventures of Badou
Although this transition may seem exciting for some, two names have yet to be mentioned. Two monkeys named Ooh & Aah have been hosting playhouse Disney since January 1, 2007, replacing previous host Clay (a yellow clay ball).
I haven’t seen this type of chemistry between two puppets since the glory days of Bert & Ernie. Whatever happens from this programming transition, much thanks and well wishes go out to Ooh & Aah. There is no better way to end this blog post than with their signature bye-bye song, “We Had a Great Day.”
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Aah Aah, Bye-bye
Ooh Ooh Aah Aah, Bye-bye
Bye-bye!
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Aah Aah, Bye-bye
Ooh Ooh Aah Aah, Bye-bye
That was so much fun!

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Aah Aah, Bye-bye
