The Hoobs is a live-action/animated children's television series created and produced by The Jim Henson Company and Decode Entertainment for Channel 4. A total of 250 episodes were produced across five series.

The series stars five extraterrestrial creatures called Hoobs (Hubba Hubba, Iver, Groove, Tula, and Roma) from the fictional planet called Hoobland, and their interactions with Earth and the human race. In each episode, they try to find the answer to a question to be put in the great Hoobopaedia created by Hubba Hubba, back in Hoobland, in hopes of learning all there is to know.

Hubba Hubba remains in Hoobland to await the report from the other Hoobs, Iver, Groove, and Tula live in a music-powered vehicle called the Hoobmobile, and Roma travels to all parts of the world by foot, by public transport and even her music powered motorcycle called the Hooby Picki Picki.

The five creatures are muppets, but the show also includes animated sequences as well as live action footage of human children who explain concepts to the Hoobs.

A typical episode format involves:

Steven Kynman, Victoria Willing, Ivestyn Evans, Robert Skidmore and Susan Beattie served as assistant puppeteers in the series.

Mak Wilson, Katherine Smee, Dave Taylor, Jason Hopley and Jamie Shannon served as puppeteer accountants in the show's final series and on "Hooby Happy Holidays" on Sprout.

Mark Jefferis was also the lead singer of the show's opening theme, and the voices of the Hoobmobile's Motorettes also sang the music track that powers Roma's Hooby Picki Picki.
