This series was based around a giant puppet stage that was designed to look like a city called Weinerville.

Weinerville's first season aired as part of a two-hour marathon every Sunday on Nickelodeon beginning on July 11, 1993.

Weinerville quickly gained popularity; in the middle of the first season, on November 15, 1993, Nickelodeon began broadcasting it on weekday afternoons.

While early episodes do not have much of a plot or story line the show started to integrate these elements later in season one.

Following the first segment and a prelude to "Playland", the viewers watch cartoons of Mr. Magoo, Honey Halfwitch, The Alvin Show, Gerald McBoing-Boing, Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse, and Batfink.
