Wimzie's House is a half-hour Canadian children's TV program produced in Montreal which ran in the French language as La Maison de Ouimzie on Télévision de Radio-Canada in the morning and Radio-Québec in late afternoons beginning September 4, 1995,[1] and in English on CBC Television in Canada beginning October 21, 1996[2] and in the U.S. on PBS from September 1, 1997 until August 31, 2001.[3] The show produced by Quebec-based Cinar (then Cookie Jar Entertainment, now WildBrain), with PBS airings presented by Maryland Public Television from 1997 until 2001. The show's puppetry is in the style of Sesame Street (another show aired on same channel), which led to some legal troubles with The Jim Henson Company in 2000 (even though they had some collaboration for some certain children's TV shows e.g., Hi Opie!, Dog City (Corus' animation studio), Fraggle Rock, The Hoobs, etc., as well as the same with its production partner, CTW (now as Sesame Workshop), best known for Sesame Park, the Canadian adaptation of Sesame Street).
