My Bedbugs was a children's television series created by Alex Greene and produced by GreeneStuff Inc.[1] Production for the series began in October of 2003 and made it's premiered on WTVS on June 6, 2004 and was later distributed nationally by APT (American Public Television.)

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) awarded Greenestuff with four Emmy Awards in 2005. The following year, in 2006, Alex Greene personally received six Emmys, while Greenestuff received three additional Emmy Awards. In both 2005 and 2006, Greenestuff also received twelve Telly Awards, which honor excellence in video and television across all screens.

In the fall of 2006, Greenestuff expanded its market share following the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) implementation of new rules regarding children's educational and informational programming obligations for digital television (DTV) broadcasters. Greenestuff strategically distributed "My Bedbugs" to 71% of digital stations throughout the United States.

The producers of the award-winning children's program "My Bedbugs" signed distribution deals with Trinity Broadcasting Network in May 2007, Sky Angel in March 2007, and LATV in June 2007. These deals expanded their coverage to over 100 million homes across the United States and Canada. With the addition of TBN and several international distributors, the series was made available in more than 30 countries.

Another milestone was achieved in May 2007 when the show secured a deal with TVN, the largest independent Video-on-Demand provider. This agreement made "My Bedbugs" available on cable networks such as AT&T, Comcast, Cox, WOW, and TiVo. In Detroit, "My Bedbugs" became a favorite, ranking as the second most viewed/downloaded VOD children's program. However, due to economic downturns, the program ended on August 30, 2008.

The 2012 film The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure is loosely based on the series.[2]
