WordGirl is an American children’s animated television series, produced by the Soup2Nuts animation unit of Scholastic Entertainment for PBS Kids. The show began as a series of shorts that premiered on PBS Kids GO! on November 10, 2006, usually shown at the end of Maya & Miguel; the segment was then spun-off into a new thirty-minute episodic series that premiered on September 3, 2007 on most PBS member stations. This animated show is aimed at people seven and older and is designed to teach about the expansive English language. This is also the first PBS Kids program to have a TV-Y7 rating. The first two seasons each have twenty-six episodes; the remaining six seasons have thirteen episodes each, and the last new episode was broadcast on August 7, 2015. The series is a parody of Superman.
