The characters were seen on TV from 2003 to 2012. In 2015, the Noggin brand was revived as a mobile app, and Moose and Zee were temporarily brought back as the hosts. Some of their older shorts were also included in the app, edited to remove the wraparound segments that announced which shows came up next. Since 2019, Moose and Zee are no longer the hosts, but some of the shorts still remain. Occasionally, app users unfamiliar with the characters mistake them for a TV show of their own; it's important to note that Moose and Zee were just channel mascots and (unfortunately) never had their own show.

* SameLanguageDub: A British dub was produced and aired on TMF and Nick Jr. UK, however, it is very hard to come by.

'''Moose and Zee''' are a pair of animated mascots who hosted program breaks on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s sister channel Creator/{{Noggin}}. They made their first appearance in 2003, when the channel relaunched as a preschool network (Noggin started out as a joint venture between Nickelodeon and Creator/SesameWorkshop, aimed at tweens and teens). Moose and Zee ushered in an age of much younger-skewing content on Noggin, as opposed to the weirder, more experimental content from its first few years.
