Hi-5 (Australian TV series)

Format

Hi-5 is a variety-style series for pre-schoolers that features music as an integral part of its premise. The program features five presenters who are collectively known as Hi-5, who perform songs as a group as well as present individual segments.

The Puzzles and Patterns segment focuses on logical thinking and mathematics, with a puppet named Jup Jup. Jup Jup is used to help complete puzzles or solve problems. The presenter of the segment Body Move encourages children to participate in movement and dance to develop physical coordination and motor development. Linguistics and aural skills are at the center of the Word Play segment. Word Play features a puppet named Chatterbox, who assists in the exploration of language through stories and rhymes. Shapes in Space focuses on visual and spatial awareness using shapes, color and everyday materials such as boxes and play dough. Musicality is explored through Making Music, with an emphasis on pitch, rhythm, beat, melody, and using a variety of real and pretend instruments. The final segment, in which the cast comes together, is entitled Sharing Stories. In this segment, the cast tells a story that explores interpersonal relationships and emotions.

The episodes are bookended with a Song of the Week; a pop-style feature song that corresponds with the weekly theme and sets an educational topic for the week's episodes.

Production

Due to the popularity and international appeal of the original Hi-5 series in Australia, it was announced in 2002 that a local American series would be introduced. The U.S. version was filmed in the Australian show's studios from September 2002 to February 2003 and made its debut in February, premiering on TLC and Discovery Kids. The cast consisted of Kimee Balmilero, Curtis Cregan, Jennifer Korbee (née Peterson-Hind), Karla Cheatham Mosley and Shaun Taylor-Corbett. The series was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

The second season first aired on September 26, 2005. The final group of 10 episodes from the second season premiered on September 25, 2006.

In August 2006, Cheateam Mosley and Taylor-Corbett left the cast to pursue other ventures. New touring members Sydney James and Yasmeen Sulieman joined Balmilero, Cregan, and Korbee, but were not featured in the television series. The group last performed together in Puerto Rico in 2008.

Music

The program uses music as an integral part of its concept, and like the original Australian group, the cast of the American series became a recognized musical group for children outside of the show, known collectively as Hi-5. The debut album of the group, Jump and Jive with Hi-5, corresponded with the first season of the show and was released in September 2004 by Koch Entertainment. A special holiday album, It's a Hi-5 Christmas, was released in October 2005. The cast also toured malls and theaters in the U.S., performing songs from the television series. After Mosley and Taylor-Corbett departed, the group continued to tour around the Americas with Sulieman and James throughout 2007 before the group's final performance in Puerto Rico in 2008. Chris Harriott was the primary composer of the show, with the songs written for the Australian group also being used for the American cast.

Home media

On August 1, 2003, it was announced that Southern Star had signed a home media deal with MGM Home Entertainment to release the series on VHS and DVD in the country. MGM would go on to release three volumes on the formats in 2004 under their family-friendly "MGM Kids" banner.
