About the series

[edit]

Professor Bubble was a live-action series that focused on a professor of the same name who was trying to create a book called The A–Z of Everything. The Professor has launched his house into the clouds, where it landed on Cloud 9. He observes the world and gathers information through the "bubblescope", a telescope that was created at the bottom of Cloud 9. The Professor is aided by his three helpers, Beamer, Mouse, and Quill, whose antics on Cloud 9 provide links to live-action educational segments. The series also contains scenes from the outside world with songs and stories from a character called Chromety, who appears and vanishes by holding her nose.
