Colby's Clubhouse
Colby's Clubhouse is an American Christian children's television show that teaches principles from the Bible; through songs and everyday situations. The main character is Colby, an anthropomorphic computer that teaches children Christian principles and lessons. Colby has the entire Bible programmed into his memory.[1][2][3] The show was written and produced by Peter and Hanneke Jacobs and was originally aired on Trinity Broadcasting Network,[4] with Peter playing the part of Colby. It originally aired from 1995 to 2000 with several changes of cast members. The first episode aired in 1995. It was last aired in 2000. On December 30, 2006, the show was removed from TBN, although it remains on the network's Smile of a Child digital subchannel. Albums and videotapes featuring Colby the Computer were produced. However, many of these were produced before the TBN series and feature different children.
