On December 27, 2006, the series started airing on Nickelodeon's sister channel Noggin. The first long-form episode debuted on March 3, 2006, as part of the Nick Jr. The characters of Tuck and Ming-Ming were added to form a team of hero pets for the full-length series. The two original shorts were completed and aired in 2004. Selig called Nickelodeon "a great partner," saying "They're really the company that first believed in us when we pitched Oobi, and then they believed in us again on Wonder Pets!." He eventually decided to send the shorts to Nickelodeon executives. The crew of Oobi was impressed with them and urged Selig to pitch them to a broadcast network. Selig first screened the shorts at the wrap party for Oobi 's first season. They featured Linny going on adventures set to classical music. The series began with two animated shorts called "Linny the Guinea Pig," which acted as a pilot episode. Selig developed the idea for Wonder Pets! in between the production cycles of his previous Nickelodeon show, Oobi. Each episode is set to original music by a 10-member live orchestra. Much of the characters' dialogue is sung in the style of operetta. It centers on a trio of classroom pets-Linny the Guinea Pig, Tuck the Turtle, and Ming-Ming the Duckling-who use teamwork to help animals in need.
