Oh yes, I'm sure -it was initilally British when I first moved here, then my two-year old got bored of it and when we came back to it for the next sprog it was all Americanized. Except for the "show and tell" segments, although they were often substituted for American ones which is fair enough, I think. But Kipper always kept the British voices.

Fortunately, my kids grew out of that stuff before BooBah came along, but from what I have seen of it, I'd be quite happy to stand alongside the Americans and toss it into Boston Harbor.
