Top Ten Ways Noggin Is Better Than Nick Jr.

The Top Ten
1 The T.V. Shows

The shows were a lot better back in the early 2000s. It's beyond comparison to the weird shows they now come up with.

I loved noggin. Actually, I still do! I started to get out of it with nick jr

Oh my God I grew up on The Backyardigans!

2 The Characters

The characters on Noggin were a lot more likeable and relatable.

What is paw patrol

3 The Songs

The songs back on Noggin were a lot more entertaining and on - key than the ones on Nick Jr.

4 Better Show Ideas

The shows were a lot more thought out before they were published.

5 Bumpers

They really were much more creative than nowadays. The old Noggin bumpers and interstitials were all very different and curiosity-invoking, and you could imagine so many different things, if you were a little kid during that time, you would have thought about stuff you didn't understand, but grownups knew about. Noggin was very mysterious, retro, imaginative, and like a cozy wonderland with so many different places and rooms to explore. The faded colors, high-contrast designs, and weird creatures were very amazing and interesting, even though I felt a bit scared of it when I was little. The best part of childhood was being in your own little-kid world, and wondering about the grown-up world, and seeing all those "grown up" stuff mixed with the kids stuff was one of the bravest things a little kid could naturally do. Nowadays, kids won't ever feel that away again. They replaced the fun and refreshing stuff with lazy, one-dimensional stuff that goes by very fast and doesn't have much ...more

The main difference is speed and minimalism. The older ones on Noggin were more easygoing, while the new ones on Nick Jr are more active. They should go with a mixture of both

The bumpers always made me excited and thrilled to watch the shows.

6 Commercials

I live the puzzle time commercials. My favorite was the one with Green Apples because it had cool background music that sounded like something that should be on SpongeBob or Franklin.

There weren't as many commercial breaks and the commercials were very short.

7 Better Dora

As much as I despise Dora, I honestly feel that the older episodes weren't as terrible

8 Better Lessons

The current Nick jr. has little learning. Nowadays, economy is worse and Nick jr. only cares about money. Taking off Moose A. Moose and Zee bird has caused a firing riot. We all know that the old Noggin channel back in 2002 taught are kids important skills!

Noggin was a lot more fun than Nick Jr., because they taught you things you needed to learn in real life, along with a lot of fun tossed in.

9 Better Logo

The logos on Noggin (and the old Nick Jr )were infinitely more creative than nowadays Nick Jr. They were so weird and a bit scary, but they were worth feeling that over. They gave off a sense of bravery yet at the same time felt really cozy and safe, since when you're a really little kid, you don't understand everything in the world yet, and you can't always understand how you feel, so you might have felt worried when you didn't understand something. Noggin brings those memories back. The new Nick Jr logo is very bland and is just a basic logo with sometimes different colors, and that's it. The old Nick Jr logo was often shaped like different animals and stuff like that, and the Noggin logo was super refreshing and they could change it to infinite possibilities to show kids that there is always new things to discover, and sadly kids will never feel that way ever again...

Yeah, I agree. The name, too. The logo and the name Noggin is WAY more clever.

I found the logo very cute and funny.

10 Retro Reruns

This is how I was introduced to some of my favorite Sesame Street characters like Little Jerry And The Monotones, Guy Smiley, Roosevelt Franklin, Farley, and Simon Soundman!

Now it is, but in 1969 it was, as they said. Don't call others stupid.

Back in 1999, Noggin aired reruns of The Electric Company (1971) Sesame Street (1969), 3-2-1 Contact and Square One T.V.

No he right sesame street did air pbs kids but it also aired on noggin stupid

The Contenders
11 More Publicity

You realize Nick Jr. and noggin are the same channel. They just renamed it.

12 Moose and Zee

They were so cute and likable. They always stuck with me.

13 Less PAW Patrol

The Nick Jr channel on Nickelodeon almost ALWAYS has PAW Patrol on. They have so many other shows why do they air mostly just one?
