September 10, 1999 – 2003
Jim Henson's Construction Site is a British live action children's television series created by The Jim Henson Company in 1999, featuring a group of seven anthropomorphic construction vehicles. It was originally produced for and shown on CITV starting on September 10th, 1999. In 2003, it was nominated for a Children's BAFTA for the Best Pre-School Live Action. Two, 13-episode seasons were produced. Episodes are packaged as 52 x 10’ or 13 x 26’. The show is similar in concept to Bob the Builder and Jack and the Sodor Construction Company (a spin-off of Thomas & Friends), albeit without any human characters and in a much more realistic, less toylike art style. The show had a range of video releases.
