3rd August 2023 a Twitter user called @WiggleznGigglez made a tweet where they said that most of the show "Jojo's Circus" were not accessible to the public ether through fysical release or streaming, just some few episodes posted on YouTube and Dailymotion.


The tweet took off with many people remembering the show and interested in finding the lost segments, the original tweeter posted comments under the original tweet with screenshots of own made notes of what segments were available on the internet, what is available, but in poor quality and what segments are completely missing.<ref>
The show was created by four people - Jim and Lisa Jinkins, David Campbell and Eric Weiner, with the former also being known for creating ''Doug'', ''PB&J Otter'', ''Stanley'' and ''Pinky Dinky Doo!''. The show revolves around the titular JoJo, a six-year-old clown girl who lives in the small, happy Circus Town. JoJo invites young viewers to get up and dance, jump, bend and wiggle. All episode storylines have a moral lesson that emphasizes character-building skills such as cooperation, sharing and respect for others.

==Episode Lists==
On February 24, 2006, a spin-off, ''Feeling Good With JoJo'', premiered. It was a series of twenty shorts across two seasons that would teach the audience at home to exercise. The shorts outlasted the original series, with new shorts airing until May 16, 2008.

In 2012, Disney began rerunning the original series on the Disney Junior block and channel, alongside many other ''Playhouse Disney'' series that had not been aired in a long time. These reruns would last until around mid-2014, which is the most recent time the show has been aired in the United States.
|+ '''Season 01'''
==Availability==
Despite the series' popularity at the time of its airing, not all of the show has resurfaced. This is especially odd, as the series aired during a time when nearly everyone in North America had some form of home recording. Most episodes are readily available online, meaning most of the series remains.
Two ''JoJo's Circus'' DVDs were released in 2005, ''Take a Bow'' and ''Animal-a-Go-Go'', with a Playhouse Disney DVD releasing in late 2005 containing the Season 1 episode "A Circus Town Christmas." Altogether, that would make nine episodes. Both DVD releases of Higglytown Heroes also contained one episode of the show, making for a total of twelve episodes released on DVD. Numerous home recordings from the 2003-2009 run still exist, while others from the brief reruns on Disney Junior from 2012-2014 also exist, albiet some are from different countries. Scripts for some episodes have been found; such as the script for The Whatchamadoodle<ref>[https://robdavidny.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/jojo-watchamadoodle-sample.pdf The Script of the episode "The Whatchamadoodle"] Retrieved 29 Aug '23</ref>, while 56 songs written for certain episodes had been released on two soundtrack albums, ''Songs from JoJo's Circus'', and its 2005 follow up ''Songs from Under the Big Top!''.
 
Nearly twenty years after the show premiered, on August 3, 2023, Twitter user @WiggleznGigglez made a tweet stating that most of the show was not accessible to the public either through physical media or streaming: <blockquote>"Just some few episodes posted on YouTube, Dailymotion and the Internet Archive."</blockquote>
 
The tweet took off with many people remembering the show and with growing interest in finding the lost segments and episodes, the original poster commented under the tweet with screenshots of notes of what segments were available on the internet, what is available but in poor quality and what segments are completely missing.<ref>

The show's title card.

Status: Partially Lost

JoJo's Circus was a Canadian-American stop-motion animated children's show that aired on Playhouse Disney from September 28, 2003, to February 14, 2007, continuing in reruns until January 2009.[1]

The show was created by four people - Jim and Lisa Jinkins, David Campbell and Eric Weiner, with the former also being known for creating Doug, PB&J Otter, Stanley and Pinky Dinky Doo!. The show revolves around the titular JoJo, a six-year-old clown girl who lives in the small, happy Circus Town. JoJo invites young viewers to get up and dance, jump, bend and wiggle. All episode storylines have a moral lesson that emphasizes character-building skills such as cooperation, sharing and respect for others.

On February 24, 2006, a spin-off, Feeling Good With JoJo, premiered. It was a series of twenty shorts across two seasons that would teach the audience at home to exercise. The shorts outlasted the original series, with new shorts airing until May 16, 2008.

In 2012, Disney began rerunning the original series on the Disney Junior block and channel, alongside many other Playhouse Disney series that had not been aired in a long time. These reruns would last until around mid-2014, which is the most recent time the show has been aired in the United States.

Availability

Despite the series' popularity at the time of its airing, not all of the show has resurfaced. This is especially odd, as the series aired during a time when nearly everyone in North America had some form of home recording. Most episodes are readily available online, meaning most of the series remains. Two JoJo's Circus DVDs were released in 2005, Take a Bow and Animal-a-Go-Go, with a Playhouse Disney DVD releasing in late 2005 containing the Season 1 episode "A Circus Town Christmas." Altogether, that would make nine episodes. Both DVD releases of Higglytown Heroes also contained one episode of the show, making for a total of twelve episodes released on DVD. Numerous home recordings from the 2003-2009 run still exist, while others from the brief reruns on Disney Junior from 2012-2014 also exist, albiet some are from different countries. Scripts for some episodes have been found; such as the script for The Whatchamadoodle[2], while 56 songs written for certain episodes had been released on two soundtrack albums, Songs from JoJo's Circus, and its 2005 follow up Songs from Under the Big Top!.

Nearly twenty years after the show premiered, on August 3, 2023, Twitter user @WiggleznGigglez made a tweet stating that most of the show was not accessible to the public either through physical media or streaming:

"Just some few episodes posted on YouTube, Dailymotion and the Internet Archive."

The tweet took off with many people remembering the show and with growing interest in finding the lost segments and episodes, the original poster commented under the tweet with screenshots of notes of what segments were available on the internet, what is available but in poor quality and what segments are completely missing.[3]
