Cindi and Friends

Cindi and Friends is a Kuboian animated television series created by Fyp Housin and produced by Scopescreen Media.

The show ran on KT for five series airing from 1999 to 2003. After the show came to an end, reruns continued to air on the channel until its closure in November 2008. Reruns were also shown on Nick Jr. Kuboia until 2005 and during Vision One's unbranded children's programming block from 2009 to 2011.

During its initial run, Cindi and Friends received positive reception from critics and audiences alike, which praise going towards its writing, animation and music, though the show did receive some criticism over some of its characters and their personality traits.

Premise
Cindi Sophia Roberts is a nine year-old girl who does not attend school. Instead, she spends her life attending a daycare group which is located in a indoor entertainment centre called Rainbow Dome. Although Cindi prefers to spend time alone and typically dislikes the company of others, she learns to spend time with and appreciate the other children who attend the same group as her. Since she is good at helping others with their problems, Cindi is popular amongst her friends and acquaintances, though she does has a rivalry with Todd, the snobby father of her friend Tanya.

Show format
The first series of Cindi and Friends was originally broadcast with a runtime of nineteen minutes. However, the main story only lasted fourteen minutes - the remaining runtime was used for breif interstitials and "music videos", which were actually just songs from the show's soundtrack with random clips of episodes of the first series playing in the background and lyrics appearing at the bottom of the screen. Starting from the second series, this format was scrapped, with each episode focusing entirely on the main story, thus the runtime was cut by approximately five minutes.
