An Interview with Jennifer Oxley


Jennifer Oxley, seen here front and center at the 16th Annual Environmental Media Awards (where she won for the Wonder Pets episode "Save the Tree"), is one of children's television's top directors. Her best known work has been for Little Airplane Productions, where she's headed up The Wonder Pets and the British show 3rd & Bird, and, before that, for the fantastic Nick Jr. show Little Bill. Her experience, however, has ranged far and wide beyond just those productions.

That's why I was excited a few weeks ago to run across this interview that Oxley did just over a year ago with Steve Fritz. It's brief, but she talks about luminaries like John Canemaker, Josh Selig, and, most revealingly to me, Bill Cosby.
