Wiggles' world premiere for Canuck kids only
The Wiggle and Learn series is slated to bow on Corus Entertainment's Treehouse channel on Monday, April 21 at 8 pm. Canadian kids will be the first in the world to see the all-new season of the pre-school set's fab four, The Wiggles.
Treehouse viewers will also be the first to meet a new yellow Wiggle named Sam, who will join regulars Murray, Jeff and Anthony and all their Wiggly friends like Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword.
