Although Nickelodeon shows concentrate on entertainment, Blue's Clues and the Nick Jr. lineup have been lauded for helping toddlers learn. Education also is a focus of Noggin, a digital tier channel Nickelodeon launched with the Sesame Workshop, the creators of PBS' Sesame Street . PBS senior vice president John Wilson says Nick Jr. took note of the public broadcasting system's success with early education programs. At the same time, PBS has been influenced by the commercial animation boom, adding such shows as Caillou and Clifford the Big Red Dog . One of Nickelodeon's few false steps came in the early '90s, when it briefly promoted itself as a place for kids but not parents, says Jennings Bryant of the University of Alabama.
Parents consider it a safe haven.
