Discovery Communications, the company behind Discovery Kids and The Learning Channel, is prepared to stop producing any new “Hi-5” TV episodes. Instead, it seems that Discovery will continue to re-run the same episodes of “Hi-5,” over and over again, for now and the foreseeable future. Hi-5 fans have been watching these same shows for up to 4 years, when the first "Hi-5" episodes debuted on American TV in 2003, and, frankly... we're tired of it!

It is urgent that we let Discovery and Kids Like Us (KLU), Hi-5’s producers, know that we do NOT support their decision to stop producing new "Hi-5" episodes. Time is of the essence because if no new episodes are produced soon, there will be no reason for Discovery to keep our talented cast, Curtis, Jenn, Kimee, and newest members Sydney and Yasmeen. That's right
-- there will be no more Hi-5 for TV, tours, appearances, charitable work, or anything else!

Information We Need to Emphasize to Discovery and KLU:

*Hi-5 merchandise is currently one of the “Top 10 Brands” at Ty’s Toy Box, a key internet retailer;
*The current “Hi-5 Live” tour has been filling up arenas across Canada and the U.S.;
*The $100 VIP packages for the tour have been completely selling out; and
*Hi-5 fans across Latin America are now eagerly requesting that Hi-5 will come to tour in their countries, too.

Hi-5 fans must let Discovery recognize that they will lose this entire revenue stream, as well as our support, patience, and goodwill, if they do not make new episodes to be televised within the next year.

We also need to let Discovery realize that the current 70 episodes, which are shown on 3-month cycles on TV, aren't enough to satisfy Hi-5's unique audience. Hi-5 fans include children, parents, teens, and young adults -- how many other TV shows can deliver that kind of fanbase? Hi-5 is a unique product and does not fit into the mold of a typical children's TV show, and we need to let Discovery know that before it's too late!

My daughter (almost 3) has been watching Hi-5 since she was an infant. The show has truely helped in her development. We want more new episodes and with another baby due in October it would be great for her to stay active dancing and such to new episodes. Please continue to produce new episodes of Hi-5.

Please don't discontinue one of the only kids shows on television that encourages children to sing and dance as well as learn. It's a clean safe show that my daughter and her friends absolutely love!

Hi-5 is a great program that is not a cartoon that I let my daughters watch on a regular basis. I don't want them watching cartoons when they can be watching real people in a great educational setting.

My kids love this show and we have also seen concerts. We would love to see new episodes with the new cast. It would truly be a shame if they stopped producing new episodes.
