All the episodes follow the same basic format. The episodes all follow this plot. The episodes go like this:
When Gil or Molly says "It's time for Bubble Guppies!", the theme song starts. After the theme, The Little Fish say the episode's name.
Something happens when the character goes to school so he or she tells Mr. Grouper about it. He tells the Guppies to think about it and the characters say information about the topic after this. Then Molly sings the pop song for the episode.
One of the Guppies will go to a shop that mostly focuses on the topic. The owner of the shop will asks questions about what he needs. Then, Mr. Grouper comes into the shop and says it's time for lunch. At lunch the characters make a food joke about the subject of the episode (as an example, Molly gets pizza and a banana, Oona gets a sandwich and a cookie, and Deema gets a sandwich and an ice cream sundae for an episode out the solar system) After lunch, another Gil and Molly sketch is shown.
The Guppies and Mr. Grouper talk more about the topic, which leads into a dancing song. Mr. Grouper says it's time to go outside and the Guppies make a story about the topic. After this, Gil and Molly do another sketch.
The Guppies go on a field trip that focuses on the topic and the show concludes with the last Gil and Molly sketch and a shorter version of the theme. There are many characters in Bubble Guppies. Some new characters are introduced in an episode but never seen again. The nine main characters are the only characters to appear in every episode.
