The main character is a bare hand puppet named Oobi. The first season was a series of two-minute shorts.

The show originally aired from 2000 to February 11, 2005, with reruns continuing through March 18, 2013.
The series was created by Josh Selig. He came up with the idea for Oobi while watching bare-handed puppeteers audition for Sesame Street. The main characters were played by Tim Lagasse, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Noel MacNeal, and Tyler Bunch. All of the puppeteers were veteran Muppet performers.
