Splash and Bubbles is a CGI children's show produced by The Jim Henson Company, and created by the creator of Johnny and the Sprites, John Tartaglia. It premiered on PBS Kids on November 23, 2016.The show follows the underwater exploits of a yellowback fusilier named Splash, and his friends Bubbles (a mandarin dragonet), Ripple (a seahorse), and Dunk (a pufferfish). They are the Reeftown Rangers, who vow to explore Reeftown and make new friends. The show teaches about oceanography and undersea life with a dash of social skills.In-between the episodes, at least during PBS airings, are a live-action segment called Get Your Feet Wet, which features real kids asking ocean-related questions. Sometimes they are followed up by a song.In October 2019, Tartaglia confirmed the show was cancelled and won't be getting a second season, due to a lack of funding. | |

Misplaced Wildlife: While there are species of parrotfish in the Pacific (where the show is implied to be), Chompy looks more like an Atlantic species. | |

| Splash and Bubbles / int_1c77ec26 | comment |
The Voice: When Tidy the garibaldi fish cleans his algae bed, his annoying neighbor Chipper is often heard insulting his algae bed, but is never seen. He always replies with something along the lines of "THIS DOES NOT CONCERN YOU, THANK YOU!" or "I HEARD THAT, CHIPPER!" | |

Feather Fingers | |
| Splash and Bubbles / int_5707e92c | comment |
Feather Fingers: Downplayed. The characters do sometimes use their fins as humans would use their hands, such as gesturing, waving, and picking up objects, but more often they just use their mouths to pick up objects and always use their faces to point, not their fins. Bubbles uses this trope the most, probably because of the size and placement of her fins compared to the others. | |

Animals Lack Attributes: The two titular fish characters are occasionally seen from below and one song even shows a close-up of their anal fins, yet they don't have any sort of anus. Justified, since it's a kids' show. | |

Meaningful Name: Lu's name is short "bio'lu'minescence", something that anglerfish have. Tidy likes to keep things in order. In one episode, he gets a wife named "Neat". Melody's name is reference to whales "singing" Pearline's name refers to her pearl. Iris, a Bennett's butterflyfish, has eyespots. The iris is the colored part of an eye. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent? | |
| Splash and Bubbles / int_8829dfa0 | comment |
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Bubbles' accent is hard to pinpoint. Her accent has a youthful, distinctly female tone, but it sounds like a cross between a Southern accent and an entirely made up accent. It is most likely not supposed to be a specific "accent," but rather her voice actress exaggerating her natural voice to be higher pitched. | |

Black Sheep | |
| Splash and Bubbles / int_a3a7c41 | comment |
Black Sheep: Bubbles seems to be the odd character out in a lot of ways: Her name doesn't refer to a movement in water (splash, dunk, and ripple). While Splash, Dunk, and Ripple have a clear signature color (yellow, orange, and pink), her signature color is less clear. Her face is pink, her main body is blue with orange and cyan stripes, and her fins are purple. The others have short, rounded, mammal-like snouts, but Bubbles has a pointy snout. She grabs things and gestures with her pelvic fins since mandarin dragonets' pelvic fins (equivalent to hind limbs) are in the front and can look like pectoral fins (equivalent to front limbs, and thus arms) to an unfamiliar person, while her real pectorals are clear and in the middle. The others just use their pectoral fins like most cartoon fish. If she used her real "front limbs," it would look like grabbing something with your ears, so what is actually the equivalent of grabbing stuff with your feet looks much more humanlike. She also has the widest range in facial expressions of the four characters. | |
