The show is an animated musical-adventure series aimed at children between the ages of 2 and 5.4 In each episode, the show’s five friendsPablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha, and Austinrely on their vivid imaginations to transform their backyard into completely different worlds, in which they go through many sorts of stories and adventures. The time-frame of the show can range from a few hours to more than one full day, but in reality, the story always ends just in time for one of them to invite the others for a snack. The imaginary story then reverts to the backyard, and the characters all rush to the house of the person who offered the snack and enter it. After a second, one or more characters open the door, quote the catchphrase specific to the episode and then close the door, ending the show. The episodes focus on music and dancing as much as they do on the stories, with each one featuring a different music genre such as big band, reggae, Spaghetti Western, polka, Motown, and disco and four new songs, usually with at least one rearrangement of a well-known or traditional song.
The characters live in houses adjoining a large backyard common to the three central houses Pablo’s, Tyrone’s and Uniqua’s that is transformed by imagination into various adventure settings. Each house roughly corresponds to the color scheme of the character: Pablo lives in a blue house, Uniqua in a pink one, and Tyrone in an orange one. Tasha’s house, which is to the left of the three central houses, is yellow and Austin’s, to the right, is partially obscured by a fence but what is visible is purple. The fence, which surrounds the combined properties of the three main characters Pablo, Tyrone and Uniqua, has a gate in it which leads to Austin’s house. The curve of the street allows the play area to be roughly equal in distance from each house’s back door.

Welcome to the lovely village of Filthingham, the muddiest, filthiest, grossest village in the world. Tyrone, Tasha and Uniqua wish they could all take baths and be clean, but their mayor, Austin Stinkypants, has forbidden cleanliness and locked all of their soap and shampoo Including Tyrone’s Rubber Duckey and Robin Hood’s “Mitty” in the dungeon. To make matters worse, today is the Festival of Dirt, which means everything will be even dirtier. Deciding that enough is enough, Tyrone sneaks out of the town to Purewood forest to find Robin Hood the Clean Pablo, in the hopes that he can help Filthingham and it’s villagers. Can Robin Hood break the villagers cleaning supplies out of the dungeon so everyone can finally take a bath, and maybe teach the mayor to like being clean too
