Colby's Clubhouse is an American Christian live-action children's television show that teaches principles from the Bible through songs and everyday situations. The main character is Colby, an anthropomorphic computer. 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 on November 19, 1995, and it was last aired on December 31, 2000. The show was primarily shot in Orange County, California. On December 30, 2006, the show was removed from TBN, although it remains on the network's Smile of a Childdigital subchannel. Albums and videotapes featuring Colby the Computer were produced. However, many of these were produced before the TBN series and feature different children.
Record Albums (1984–1995)
Prior to the TV series, a series of record albums was released during the 80s and early 90s. Two of them were adapted into videos. There was also a VHS release titled "Colby's Place" in 1989. It wasn't based on any albums, but it was possibly a pilot episode for another planned series that never came to fruition (most likely because it was rejected for being too similar to "Kids Incorporated"). The last album, "A Heart to Give" was adapted into the first episode of the final TV series, which was divided into two parts. The following is a list of the albums in their release order.
