## Broadcast

[edit]

Dot. premiered on JimJam in Pan-Europe on May 1, 2017 and Pikaboo in the Ex-Yugoslav countries and Albania sometime in 2018.[69][70] The series will also air on Canal Panda in Portugal, Piwi+ in France, and SVT in Sweden sometime in 2017.[71] Hulu also acquired exclusive SVOD rights to Dot. and the series became available to stream on April 15.[72] The show is currently[when?] airing on ABC Kids in Australia,[73] Tiny Pop in United Kingdom and Clan TVE, Super3 and Nickelodeon in Spain.

## Reception

[edit]

It got a 5 out of 5 on Common Sense Media, quoting:

"Parents need to know that Dot. is based on a picture book by Randi Zuckerberg and centers on a curious 8-year-old who uses technology, math, and science concepts to learn new things, but it's never at the expense of real-world experiences and the people she cares about. For Dot and her family, it's all about balance, so much attention is given to the times when she acknowledges she's ready to unplug. The show sets out to expose kids -- and girls in particular -- to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts in an inviting, age-appropriate way through the likable, self-confident titular character. As a bonus, it presents Dot's parents as her role models and educator, and her friends as positive influences in her life."[74]

## Media information

[edit]

An HTML game called Dot's Rangeroo Scavenger Hunt is available on Kids' CBC and Universal Kids's websites.[when?] Another game, inspired by Atari's earliest arcade game Pong, Make a Game with Dot, is available on the Universal Kids website as well. An app, inspired by Wikipedia, Dotopedia, for Android and iOS devices was also released on December 12, 2016.
