About Special Agent Oso
Sundays at 6.25am on TV2
Playhouse Disney's new animated series "Special Agent Oso" stars Academy Award-nominee Sean Astin as the voice of Oso, a fuzzy, lovable, bumbling special agent-in-training who enlists the help of you at home to complete his assignments. Paying homage to special agent classics, the series follows Oso, a stuffed panda bear who works for U.N.I.Q.U.E. (United Network for Investigating Quite Usual Events), an international organization of endearing stuffed animals charged with helping kids accomplish everyday tasks such as cleaning their room, brushing their teeth and learning how to use the library.
With help from a wide array of gadgets and gizmos such as Shutterbug, a robot video camera lady bug; a grappling hook pen and Oso's special agent vest; customized vehicles, such as a helicopter, a bullet train, a sports car and a motorcylce; special agent outfits; and most importantly, you at home, Oso must complete the special assignment before the ever present ticking clock runs out of time.
Once the special assignment is complete, Oso returns to the training mission he was attempting at the beginning of the episode, using something he learned from the day's special assignment to complete the mission and earn his Digi-Medal from Mr. Dos. For example, in the premiere episode, after learning that he must use both his hands and legs to climb up the mailbox in order to reach the mail slot, Oso returns to complete his own training mission by scaling a mountain using his new found skills. Oso then rewards viewers at home with their very own Digi-Medal, to thank them for their help in completing his mission.
"Special Agent Oso" is an interactive series which calls upon young viewers to use their observational skills and cognitive abilities.
