===Notable programming===

On Saturday, September 9, 2006, NBC started airing the following qubo programs: ''[[VeggieTales]]'', ''[[Dragon (TV series)|Dragon]]'', ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'', ''VeggieTales Presents: [[3-2-1 Penguins!]]'', ''[[Babar (TV series)|Babar]]'', ''[[Jane and the Dragon (TV series)|Jane and the Dragon]]'', and ''[[Jacob Two-Two (TV series)|Jacob Two-Two]]'', ''[[Magical Doremi]]'', [[Magical Doremi|Magical Doremi#]], [[Magical Doremi|More Magical Doremi]], [[Magical Doremi|Magical Doremi Do the Six]], ''[[Little League World series]]'', ''[[Machine Robo Rescue]]'', ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure]]'' and ''[[Postman Pat]]''. Initially, the ''VeggieTales'' broadcasts did not feature the religious content that appears on the videos before and after the main feature, since the block is designed to educate all viewers. This has drawn criticism for the block and NBC in particular from the conservative watchdog group [[Parents Television Council]], as well as ''VeggieTales'' co-creator [[Phil Vischer]], who claims that he was unaware of the intent to edit out religious content when the program was acquired for qubo.<ref>{{Cite news
