It's Itsy Bitsy Time! (stylized in all lowercase) is an American children's television series produced by the Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Company for Fox Family Channel (now Freeform as of 2016) and Treehouse TV. The series consisted of a selection of children's TV shows, most of them originally produced in Europe and aired on September 6, 1999 simultaneously on these channels, airing on the former channel until 2002 and the latter until 2003.
64 Zoo Lane was one of the segments broadcast within the program, albeit redubbed in American English. Other programs besides 64 Zoo Lane shown within the block included Tom and Vicky, The Animal Shelf, Budgie the Little Helicopter, and Charley and Mimmo.
Trivia[]
- Unlike in many other broadcasts, only the title 64 Zoo Lane was shown as well as the episode titles; the opening theme of 64 Zoo Lane in these airings omitted the opening text "Millimages/Zoo Lane Productions present". Additionally, the ending scene of Nelson and Georgina sleeping also appears, but the credits are also omitted within this block.
- During the end credits of Itsy Bitsy Time, the 64 Zoo Lane logo appears in the credits, but does not credit the voice cast nor many staff involved in the series for unknown reasons.
- One of the cow sculptures during the 2000 CowParade in New York was decorated with characters from Itsy Bitsy Time, one of them containing illustrations of Lucy and Georgina from 64 Zoo Lane. This was likely done to promote the series.[1]
- One of the VHS releases of 64 Zoo Lane was a volume titled Lucy Meets Kevin the Crocodile & Other Stories, which was released to promote Itsy Bitsy Time and was distributed by Itsy Bitsy Home Video. This VHS tape is no longer manufactured ever since the program stopped airing, making it extremely rare to find.[2]
