Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman is a GBH/PBS tween brand with a legacy “halo”. Since the broadcast series ended, GBH has found a number of ways to build on the impact of, and interest in, the original series (“grandfathered” in to PBS Kids). Examples include: The RuffRuffman Humble Media Genius video series, Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman games and apps, Search it Up a video series about technology and media literacy, and a reboot of series content on TikTok launching summer 2022.
