On December 28, 1992, one year after being bought by the Discovery Channel, TLC, a American cable TV network once known back then for its educational programming as "The Learning Channel", launched a new preschool block to compete with Nickelodeon's "Nick Jr." block. And after two years in first-run syndication and four years afterwards on PBS stations, "Zoobilee Zoo" reruns would sadly leave free-to-air TV to join the new TLC block as one of its initial launch shows. Since "Zoobilee Zoo" originally aired in syndication, TLC filled up some of that space with promos and segments featuring children's entertainer Rory Zuckerman, the original face of "Ready, Set, Learn!". The show would ultimately stay there for another four years until making a brief comeback on PBS stations with newly-produced filler segments that would be stitched together into new direct-to-video releases.
