Big Orange

**Big Orange** was a cancelled concept for an educational sister channel to Nickelodeon. From 1997 to 1998, the plan for Big Orange was reworked and became the basis for the Noggin channel. Big Orange was a "prototype" of the Noggin channel.

The idea for Big Orange was first announced in May 1995 by the *Variety* magazine. It was reported that Nickelodeon wanted Big Orange to be an "interactive learning channel," and it planned to sell computer games based on Big Orange. (source) The channel's development never finalized, but according to *Ad Age*, the creative team kept talking about the concept for the next few years. (source)

Around the same time as Big Orange's development, Sesame Workshop planned its own educational channel called New Kid City. Like Big Orange, the development for New Kid City never finalized. In 1998, Nickelodeon and Sesame Workshop entered a partnership. They combined the ideas for Big Orange and New Kid City into one network, Noggin, which was a joint venture of the two companies.

## Articles

* *Variety* article from 1995, announcing plans for Big Orange
* *Ad Age* article from 1997, which describes Big Orange being retooled into Noggin
* *Kidscreen* article from 1999, with a summary of Big Orange and Noggin's history

## Timeline

From the above articles, the timeline of Big Orange's development is known:

* **Spring 1995:** The idea for Big Orange was created by Geraldine Laybourne, a former president of Nickelodeon. She wanted Big Orange to be an "interactive learning channel." Early in development, Nickelodeon planned to sell electronics and computer games based on Big Orange. The idea for the channel was first announced in May 1995 by the *Variety* magazine.

* **Winter 1995:** Late in the year, Nickelodeon hired a company called Big Blue Dot to design the Big Orange logo. The logo was never used or shown to the public.

* **1996:** The channel was originally set to launch in late 1996, but Laybourne left Nickelodeon in February 1996, causing the plans for Big Orange to be put on "indefinite hold."

* **Early 1997:** Nickelodeon's next president, Herb Scannell, revived the idea for Big Orange in 1997. He decided that it could be a syndication package instead of a whole channel. The project was renamed "Noggin" by the end of January 1997.

* **1997:** Nickelodeon filmed a pilot episode to demonstrate the concept of Noggin. The pilot was inspired by an older Nickelodeon series called *Inside Eddie Johnson* which was themed around creative thinking.

* **Late 1997:** Nickelodeon discovered that Sesame Workshop was also planning its own educational channel, "New Kid City." The two companies started discussions to merge their ideas into one network.

* **1998:** Sesame Workshop entered a partnership with Nickelodeon to co-found Noggin. They merged the ideas for Big Orange and New Kid City into the combined Noggin concept.
Noggin app

The **Noggin app** is a subscription app for mobile phones and tablets. It was first announced in February 2015, when Nickelodeon stated that the Noggin brand would be "coming back" as a streaming service. The app features games, clips, and full episodes of shows.

From 2015 to 2019, the app used Noggin's iconic head logo and the branding from Noggin's daytime block, including the host characters Moose and Zee. Like the former daytime block, the app is aimed at preschool kids.

In 2019, the original Noggin branding was removed and the logo was replaced. In March 2020, all of the classic Noggin shows (like *Oobi*, *Jack's Big Music Show*, and *The Upside Down Show*) were removed, but Moose and Zee still have a page on the app.

## Song Lyrics

A Show of Hands

***A Show of Hands*** is a short-form series that aired in reruns on Noggin. It is a series of skits acted out by puppeteers' hands. It was originally created for Nickelodeon in the early 1990s, and it was one of many shows from Nickelodeon's archive library that aired in reruns on Noggin.

The episodes were shown on Noggin during commercial breaks from 1999 to 2002. A clip from the intro for *A Show of Hands* was used in one of Noggin's launch commercials.

## Summary

Each episode is about a minute long and is shot in black-and-white. They feature hand puppets trying to do human tasks, like paint a picture or play the piano.

The series was created by Tim Lagasse, a puppeteer who later directed and starred in *Oobi* for Noggin. Tim considers *A Show of Hands* a "predecessor" to *Oobi* because both shows use bare hand puppets as the main characters. Many of the techniques that Tim used here were carried over to *Oobi*.
Moose A. Moose

**Moose A. Moose** is an original character created for the Noggin brand. Along with his best friend and sidekick, Zee, he hosted Noggin's daytime block. He and Zee were the third hosts of the channel overall, after Phred and Feetface. Moose and Zee were reintroduced in 2015, when Noggin relaunched as a streaming service. They appeared in new material until 2019, when the app was redesigned.

## History

Moose's first-ever appearance was in a commercial where Noggin's previous host, Feetface, introduced him and Zee. This commercial ran from Late February to April 2003. Moose and Zee officially started hosting the daytime block on April 7, 2003.

Although the Noggin channel closed in 2009, Moose has appeared many times since then. From 2009 to 2012, many of Moose and Zee's segments reran on the Nick Jr. channel. In 2015, Noggin was rebooted with the Noggin mobile app, and Moose returned as the mascot. Many new animations of Moose were made for the app, with new dialogue recorded as well. In 2019, Moose and Zee were retired as the hosts, but their segments are still viewable in a section on the app.

In the UK, Moose and Zee hosted the Noggin block on TMF. The UK voice of Moose was done by David Holt.

## Description

Moose is the on-air teacher of Noggin. He engages his young audience by curating experiences, facilitating discovery, and asking questions. As the teacher figure, he is knowledgeable but almost Socratic in his eagerness to see the audience figure things out for themselves. He often delivers information by asking a question. Moose is a great instructor, sharing in his audience's enthusiasm and curiosity.

Moose and Zee would often bring a musical element to the channel, singing original songs about topics like road trips, holidays, and springtime.

## Looks

Moose is a bright yellow moose who stands upright. He has hooves for feet and rounded brown antlers on his head. His eyes are white with black pupils, and they each have a wedge-shaped highlight on them. His outline is a light orange color.

Freeform: Just Wondering

**Freeform: Just Wondering** was a series of bumpers that Noggin aired in summer 2001. Each one was centered around figuring out the answer to a random summer-related question. For example, one measured whether a snail or a worm would be faster in a race. In another, three types of ice cream were left out in the sun to see which one lasted the longest. These bumpers were part of Noggin's "lazy summer" promos.

## Production

The bumpers were filmed and directed by David Chartier at his studio, Loop Filmworks. Each bumper features footage of an outdoor experiment. The concept behind them was that each bumper was "told from the perspective of a precocious kid who uses his parents' video camera to capture things he's curious about." Loop Filmworks' design team added a graphic interface to each bumper with icons that explained and introduced each experiment. In August 2001, the magazine *Animation World Network* published an interview with Loop Filmworks about the bumpers (archived here):

David Chartier: *"We came up with about 10-12 clever kid-like experiments, without resorting to burning ants, and shot them on location using a digital camera in a verite style. This is a unique style for us. We're primarily known as an animation house, but we have had a lot of experience with live-action - both short-form and long-form. This project allowed us to show all of our capabilities by shooting the live-action, designing 3D animated graphics and posting it completely in-house. In every phase the project was very conceptual and we were able to pull it off quite well."* (source)
## Segments

The questions asked and answered were:

* Which ice cream lasts longest? Shortcake, mocha chip, or twin pop?
* What does a dive look like from the other side?
* What kind of paper boat floats best? A motorboat, a canoe, or the classic style?
* Which is faster - worm or snail?
* What do fish like best? A gummy worm, a worm, or another fish?
* How many ants can you fit on a lollipop?

Patrick Star

**Patrick Star** (Seastar) (Starfish) is a Seastar/Starfish. He lives under a rock and lives next to Squidward and SpongeBob. Patrick's best friend is SpongeBob SquarePants, though he has other friends too. Patrick is overweight due to him eating junk food and his laziness. Patrick lives in a brown rock at 120 Conch Street, Bikini Bottom. In "The Great Snail Race", Patrick had a rock for his pet.
MyNoggin

**MyNoggin** was a website based on Noggin's preschool block. It launched in October 2007. MyNoggin had exclusive games and printables that couldn't be found on Noggin.com.

There was an option to become a member of the site. Customers of a few cable companies (Charter, Insight and Cox) were given free memberships to MyNoggin through their cable subscriptions.

Noggin registered the URL for "mynoggin.com" way back in 2001. Originally, it was just a mirrored version of Noggin.com. In 2007, Noggin decided to turn the domain into its own separate website. An archive of the site from 2004, when it was just a backup of the main website, can be seen here.

Nick Jr. on Noggin

**Nick Jr. on Noggin** was a programming block on the Noggin channel that started airing in April 2003. It was a showcase of imported shows from Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. brand. It aired as a subsection of the daytime block, a wider programming block that included all of Noggin's preschool shows.

It originally played from 2-6 PM every day. After 2005, the block's runtime varied.

## History

Noggin had shown repeats of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows since it launched in 1999, but this block was the first time they were grouped under one name. As the block continued, it began to overtake more and more of Noggin's lineup, to the point where imported Nick Jr. shows had more airtime than Noggin's original series.

Both Noggin.com and NickJr.com had pages dedicated to the block. Noggin.com's page (linked here) described the block: *"Nick Jr. on Noggin is a block of your favorite Nick Jr. shows, playing on Noggin from 2pm-6pm."*

## Shows

The block's schedule was archived here. It started out with these six shows:

* *Bob the Builder*
* *Gullah Gullah Island*
* *Dora the Explorer*
* *Blue's Clues*
* *Maggie and the Ferocious Beast*
* *Little Bear*

In late 2004 and 2005, it expanded to include four more:

* *Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends*
* *The Backyardigans*
* *LazyTown*
* *Go, Diego, Go!*

## Song Lyrics

Mr. Chimpanzee

Swinging from a tree

You look so free to me

‘Cause you’re a chimpanzee

Mr. Chimpanzee

Swinging from a tree

I’d love to be a chimpanzee

Mr. Parakeet

Flying down the street

I think you’re pretty neat

‘Cause you’re a parakeet

Mr. Parakeet

Flying down the street

I’d love to be a parakeet

And all the animals I've ever seen

Look like they could be pretty fun to be

Mr. Elephant, living in a tent

You don’t pay any rent

‘Cause you’re an elephant

Mr. Elephant, living in a tent

I’d love to be an elephant

Mr. Alien, where has your spaceship been?

To Jupiter and back again

That’s cause you’re an alien

Mr. Alien, where has your spaceship been?

I’d love to be an Alien

Yeah I’d love to be an alien

Or a parakeet or elephant

And I’d love to be a chimpanzee

But what I love to be the best is me.

Done Day

"**Done Day**" was a song sung by Moose and Zee used before Noggin signed off and The N started. It debuted with the new mascots/hosts on April 7, 2003, but was replaced with a sign-off bumper called "See What The Cat is Up To" in 2005. When "See What The Cat is Up To" was retired the next year (2006), *Done Day* continued to air until Noggin and The N split in December 2007. Despite this, a clip of it was used in a promo for Nick Jr. Boost. In the song, Moose sings about saying goodbye to the things we saw and did and the people we met until we see them again tomorrow.==Navigation==
A Walk in Your Shoes

***A Walk in Your Shoes*** is an original series created by Noggin. It started as a series of three shorts that aired during *Phred on Your Head Show* in 1999. It was later developed into a long-form series. It ran for 42 long-form episodes.

The show originally aired during Noggin's daytime block. After the daytime block shifted its target audience to preschoolers, the show changed its timeslot to air during Noggin's nighttime block, The N, which was aimed at teens.

*A Walk in Your Shoes* ran longer than any other Noggin original series. It also won many awards, including a Peabody Award in 2003. The official website called it "The N's signature show."

## Logline

The show's official summary from Noggin's programming site:

*"A Walk in Your Shoes takes two real people from completely different backgrounds and switches their lives, physically transplanting them into each other’s environments while the cameras roll. As the subjects express their thoughts and impressions on camera and in online diaries on noggin.com, they learn to appreciate diverse perspectives and get a firsthand look at how people from different backgrounds and experiences see the world."* (source)
## History

*A Walk in Your Shoes* was one of two Noggin shows, along with *Oobi*, to develop from a short-form series into a long-form one. The show was produced by Noggin in association with Dancing Toad Productions, a New York studio that also worked on another show for Noggin: *Girls v. Boys*.

## Summary

Each episode documents the experiences of two different people who switch places for a day and learn how the other person lives. As the two subjects express their thoughts and impressions on camera, as well as in online diaries on Noggin's website, they learn to appreciate diverse perspectives. The show was designed to help viewers get a first-hand look at how people from different backgrounds and perspectives see the world.

## Episodes

The show had 42 long-form episodes and three shorts. See the page A Walk in Your Shoes episodes for a full list of episodes, with pictures and summaries.

## Online

The show had its own page on Noggin.com from 1999 to 2002. From 2002 to 2004, it was also featured on MSN Kids (archive link). In April 2002, it was given its own page on The N's website, as well as on The N's separate website for parents.

## Video releases and magazine

There were four home video releases for the show. They are hard to find since they were only given out to schools. The videos are:

* *A Walk in Your Shoes: Disabilities Awareness Teaching Kit*
* *A Walk in Your Shoes: Living with HIV/AIDS*
* *A Walk in Your Shoes: Teen Parent*
* *A Walk in Your Shoes: Muslim/American*

In late 2002, Noggin partnered with *TIME for Kids* to release a free magazine based on the show.

Girls v. Boys

***Girls v. Boys*** is an original series created by Noggin for its nighttime programming block, The N, which was aimed at teens. It is a competition series where teams of teen boys and girls are pitted against each other in physical challenges.

The show was produced by Dancing Toad Productions, the same company that made *A Walk in Your Shoes* for Noggin. The show aired from August 8, 2003, to January 8, 2007. It has four seasons, each named after the setting of the season: *GVB: Tampa*, *GVB: Hawaii*, *GVB: Montana*, and *GVB: Puerto Rico*.

## History

Some of the show's episodes aired as part of an event called "The Love-Hate Reality Hour" that also included premieres of *Best Friend's Date*.

## Summary

At first, anyone between the ages of 16 and 18 are asked to audition. From the second season on, Noggin and Dancing Toad usually received tens of thousands of auditions. They managed to break it down to three boys and three girls most times (four boys and four girls in *Puerto Rico* and *Montana*). They then send them to a house, usually with some ocean clearing.

The series then shows the competitions as well as the debacles between the two teams, both internally and externally. The purpose of the competitions is to attain a prize. It varied from season to season, but in *Puerto Rico*, it was $50,000 for the winning team and $1,000 worth of traveling gear split between the winning team members. Each competition earns the winners of the competition a set amount of points (raging from 100 to over 500 in the final event) and the team that earns the most points wins.

I Only Want a Candy Cane This Year

"**I Only Want a Candy Cane This Year**" is a Moose and Zee song that played during the holiday seasons on Noggin. In the song, Moose sings about the joys of a candy cane and why it is the only thing he wants for Christmas.

## Lyrics

**Moose**: Well I've made my list and I've checked it twice.

With only one thing it's rather concise.

Listen closely, Please lend me your ear.

I only want a candy cane this year

Come on, put a smile on my festive face.

No sweater. no scarf could ever take it's place!

There's only one key to my holiday cheer, I only want a candy cane this year.

So don't stuff my stocking with candies of all types, I just want that treat with red and white stripes.

Curved on the top, straight on the side, Annually enjoyed by tongues worldwide!

On snowy night tucked snuggly in bed, Dreams of prancing candy canes dance in my head.

Even in sleep my one wish if clear, I only want candy cane this year.

*(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)*

[Spoken] *Hey, morning already!*

Time to wake up with a stretch and yawn.

Hey Look at that, my umbrella is gone.

Rub my eyes, 'cause I can't wait to see Just what's downstairs waiting for me.

Get up, lazy bones! Gift are under the tree!

How did you know, I mean, what could this be?

You got my message so, loud year.

I finally got a pair of socks this year.

[Spoken] *Socks?*

Well it's not what I expected, I can't pretend

But the best gift of all is having you for friend.

My toes are warm and fuzzy, in socks i hold dear.

The candy cane can surely wait 'til next year.

[Spoken] *You did get me a candy cane? You big faker? Why don't we share? Hey, wanna bite?*

Noggin (United Kingdom and Ireland)

**Noggin on TMF** was a programming block on TMF UK that started airing in January 2006. Its broadcast time slot was from 07:00 to 09:00 daily (extended to 06:00 in 2009). It was shut down on 25 September 2006, but in 2009, it relaunched and lasted until March 2010.

## History

The Noggin block started airing on TMF on 30 January 2006. It consisted of 2 hours (07:00-09:00) of Nick Jr. programming and was designed as a taster of Nick Jr. for those who were not subscribed to the channel, as TMF was free-to-air. It was hosted by Moose and Zee, with Moose dubbed by David Holt (who previously voiced Face). It was educational, but did not have an educational emphasis as important as that of the American Noggin. On 25 September, it aired for the last time and was replaced the next day by Nick Jr on TMF, ending Moose and Zee's presence in the UK at the time.

For unknown reasons, the block returned to the Noggin branding in early 2009, possibly to signify its independence from the Nick Jr channel, but it is known that Nickelodeon UK effectively laid the Noggin block on the backburner to focus on Nick Jr itself. During the second lifespan of Noggin UK (2009-2010), it had no mention on the Nick Jr website. After TMF rebranded to VIVA on 26 October 2009, the block would stay for a few months, but it was permanently closed in March 2010 in preparation for Nickelodeon's rebrand. Just a month later, Nick Jr. UK was rebranded into the post-Noggin look and adopted Moose and Zee.

Citizen Phoebe

***Citizen Phoebe*** is one of Noggin's original series. It is a short-form show that aired during commercial breaks. It is about a kid named Phoebe who wants to run for president.

## History

The show was created by Joanne Roberts, a former teacher and writer. (source) She came up with the idea for Citizen Phoebe around 1992. She first pitched it to Sesame Workshop as "Phoebe for President," an educational show about politics. The main character was Phoebe, a kid who wants to run for U.S. president. Sesame Workshop liked the idea and developed it for a while, but it never became a full half-hour series.

In 1996, Joanne created a website based on Citizen Phoebe. (link) The website was meant to help get kids and teens interested in politics. It featured four characters: Phoebe, her brother Norbert, and her friends David and Paula. The characters were all fictional, but actors were hired to play them in photos across the site. The site had a blog which was updated every week with new posts, usually related to political events at the time. A writer, Billy Aronson, wrote every post on the blog.

After a few years, Joanne pitched the idea again, this time to Noggin. Noggin bought the rights and made a series of live-action shorts with Citizen Phoebe. The shorts aired on Noggin from 2000 to 2001, coinciding with the 2000 U.S. election. They featured a new set of actors. The older blog posts and photos were moved to Noggin.com, and Citizen Phoebe was added to a section of Noggin.com called "Our TV Shows." The show was featured on Noggin's site until mid-2002, when the website was changed to focus on preschoolers.

## Story

Citizen Phoebe wants to make her country a better place for kids. Her friends become her campaign team and help her advocate for kids' issues.

## Cast

Each character had two performers: one for web-exclusive photos, and one for both the TV shorts and the webisodes. Currently, it is known that Evan Ferrante played the character David in the web photos.

Franklin

## Plot

Based on a children's book by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark, Franklin is about a turtle who is trying to figure out his place in the world. He lives in a village where he and his friends enjoy swimming in the pond, playing outdoors, and going to school. Yes! They enjoy school. For this and other refreshing reasons, parents will feel comfortable letting their preschoolers tune in. Franklin is an every-turtle who is learning his way in his world, and he knows he is growing up. Such self-awareness makes this turtle, who keeps his stuffed animal dog around even when he has outgrown it, very sympathetic indeed. Some educational content and gentle moral lessons add even more value to the series.

## History

The show joined Noggin on February 2, 1999, along with other shows, to celebrate the channel's launch.

However, the show stopped airing when Noggin closed on September 28, 2009, and continued to air on the Nick Jr. Channel along with its spin-off *Franklin and Friends*.

## Notes

* The program is animated and originated in Canada.

Freeform

**Freeform** was a series of interstitials that aired on Noggin from June 2001 to early winter 2002. Each bumper usually consisted of a poem or story that was sent in by kids at Noggin.com relating to the current season (i.e. summer, winter, or fall). In summer 2001, Noggin also aired special Freeform bumpers titled Freeform: Just Wondering in conjunction with the regular bumpers.

## Format

The interstitials were introduced in June of 2001 as part of Noggin's "lazy summer" campaign, where they aired their shows without any interruption. Most of the bumpers were centered around a kid telling a story, sharing a poem, or just giving their general thoughts related to the current season, accompanied by stock footage and Nogginations. At the end of most bumpers, the announcer would say "To express yourself, go to Noggin.com", alluding to the Freeform page on Noggin.com. Starting in the fall, the Just Wondering interstitials were phased out, as the regular bumpers began focusing exclusively on poetry written by Noggin.com visitors. Freeform continued in this simpler format until early winter 2002, when the bumpers were discontinued altogether, most likely because of the approaching April 2002 rebrand.

## Online

During Freeform's run, there was a section on Noggin.com dedicated to the series, where kids could submit their own works to be possibly shown on TV and read others'. Not much else is known about the online aspect of the bumpers.

Nogginese

**Nogginese** was a series of bumpers that aired on Noggin from 1999 to 2002. Each one defines a made-up word related to Noggin. These bumpers were most commonly shown in 1999 when the channel was new.

## Format

The Nogginese bumpers are set in front of colorful psychedelic backgrounds, and they are narrated by floating heads. Five different Noggin logos float in and out of the frame: the beaker, beehive, flower, painting palette, and ladybug logos.

## Segments

Known segments include:

* Noggicize
* Noggilicious
* Nogginer
* Noggining

## Transcripts

**Opening and ending song**:

*Nog! Noggin. Noggicize your nogginilly. Nogginers nog nogginly. Noggin! Noggining is noggilicious! The noggin, the noggin, Noggin on non-non-non-non-Nog!*
**Noggicize**:

*Noggicizing is, well, it's kind of like exercising your brain. It's when you think so hard and so much about something, you can actually feel your brain squishing and squiggling. Once, I noggicized so much, I sweat.*
**Noggilicious**:

*Something noggilicious is something really interesting to you. You know, something you just can't learn enough stuff about, because once you learn a little, you want to know more and more and more! I think dolphins are noggilicious.*
**Nogginer**:

*A nogginer is a person -- well, it can be a llama or a sheep -- a nogginer is any living thing that uses their noggin. You know, to think, or fix a problem, or wonder, or dream.*
**Noggining**:

*Noggining is noggy stuff that you do with your noggin, like thinking, exploring, wondering, creating, learning, and anything else nogginy.*
## Online

There was a page for the Nogginese bumpers on Noggin's website, Noggin.com. It featured a game where players could learn different words in Nogginese, then make up their own. There was a poll for visitors to choose which made-up words fit certain definitions. The page included some exclusive words that never appeared in the on-air bumpers, like "nognoxious" and "nogazod." An archive of the page can be found here. The list of user-submitted Nogginese words can be found here.

Blue's Clues

***Blue's Clues*** is an American live-action/animated educational children's television series that premiered on Nick Jr. on September 8, 1996. Producers/creators Angela Santomero, Todd Kessler, and Traci Paige Johnson combined concepts from child development and early-childhood education with innovative animation and production techniques that helped their viewers learn. The show was originally hosted by Steve Burns, who left in 2002 and was replaced by Donovan Patton as Joe until 2006. The show follows an animated blue-spotted dog named Blue as she leaves a trail of clues/paw prints for the host and the viewers to figure out her plans for the day. Because Nickelodeon co-owned Noggin when the channel was launched, it aired a variety of shows from its archive library on Noggin, including reruns of *Blue's Clues.*

## Format

In *The Tipping Point*, author Malcolm Gladwell called the show "sticky," and described its format:

Nickelodeon researcher Daniel R. Anderson called the structure of *Blue's Clues* a game that presented its viewers with increasingly challenging and developmentally appropriate problems to solve. Early episodes focused on basic subjects such as colors and numbers, but later the programs focused on math, physics, anatomy, and astronomy. The show's producers believed that comprehension and attention were strongly connected, so they wrote the episodes to encourage and increase their viewers' attention. They used content and production characteristics such as pacing which gave children time to respond, as well as "camera techniques, children's voices, musical cues, sound effects, clear transitions, repeatable dialogue, and visuals." Participation, in the form of spoken or physical response from the audience, and the mastery of thinking skills were encouraged by the use of repetition, both within the structure of individual episodes and across multiple episodes. The producers used a variety of formal features, which were auditory, and content features, which consisted of invitations given to the audience, such as "Will you help?" The features were also in the form of both recurrent and unique formats and content. The purpose of the recurrent formats and content, which were similar in every episode, was to increase viewers' attention, comprehension, and participation during key educational lessons.

Nickelodeon originally aired the same episode daily for five days before showing the next one. The producers believed this telecast strategy empowered young children by giving them many opportunities to master the content and problems presented to them.

## History on Noggin

The show joined Noggin to celebrate its launch on February 2, 1999, along with a few other shows. It aired during the preschool morning hours.

However, it and its spinoff, *Blue's Room* left when the original Noggin channel closed on September 27, 2009. It continued to air on the Nick Jr. Channel until 2019. A reboot called *Blue's Clues & You!* currently airs.

I Know a Chicken

**I Know a Chicken** is a song featured in the Jack's Big Music Show episode: The Bongo Bird.

## Song Lyrics

Oh, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Yeah, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Oh my goodness (oh my goodness)

It's a shaky egg! (It's a shaky egg!)

Now shake them fast! Shake 'em fast!

Shake them fast! Shake 'em fast!

Shake your eggs! Shake 'em fast, shake it fast!

Oh, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Yeah, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Oh my goodness (oh my goodness)

It's a shaky egg! (It's a shaky egg!)

Now shake them slow, you know how it goes

Shake them slow, because you know how it goes

And shake them fast! Oh, shake those eggs!

Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it!

Oh, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Yeah, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Oh my goodness (oh my goodness)

It's a shaky egg! (It's a shaky egg!)

Now shake them in a circle, round and round

Don't you let them touch the ground

When you shake 'em round and round

Now shake them up and down

Shake 'em up and down, you got to

Shake it up and down

Oh, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Yeah, I know a chicken (I know a chicken)

And she laid an egg (and she laid an egg)

Oh my goodness (oh my goodness)

It's a shaky egg! (It's a shaky egg!)
