I remember losing my shit after seeing a commercial for the Noggin app because that was the first time I saw Moose and Zee in years. It wasn't like "omg I forgot about them" but it was like "omg I thought I'd never see them again" and it was a very magical moment
Literally had the same reaction. Just waiting for SpongeBob to come back on while I munched on cereal and all of a sudden I see Moose and Zee for the first time in years. Holy nostalgia reaction right there.
The amount of Parallels between Noggin and Sprout are kinda insane. -Started as a Partnership -Aired shows from the companies’ library -Eventually overtaken by the big corporate company after others dip -Gets rebranded to include a bigger more well-known name, only leaving some of the original channel’s features that are gradually phased out over time -Nowadays is a shell of its former self with its once lively mascots now left to rot in a vault somewhere. It’s such a shame that the two channels died the way they did but it’s very fascinating seeing them fade in such a similar way despite being very loosely tied to each other.
- started as a partnership with sesame workshop - healthily survived for well over a decade until falling victim to corporate unification/rebrandings in the 2010s
I'm only just now realizing how much of my childhood I spent watching Noggin. Hearing the names Oswald and Wow Wow Wubbzy almost made me cry, because it reminded me of standing in the middle of my grandma's couch, eating cookies and drinking chocolate milk.
Hearing about Oswald and wow wow wubbzy make me feel nostalgic for it because I was a family friends a lot as a kid for sleep overs and I would wake up in the middle of the night to wow wow wubbzy and it would brighten my night I am so sad they don’t play any more episodes of old shows like they did back then
I swear I feel like a foul beast for liking candy corn but not mint. Like every time I mentioned it as a little kid I'd always get dissed and taunted by the (ableist) teachers with that damned song. Jerkums
I was a Noggin kid and a HUGE advocate for their return lol. I loved Moose and Zee more than the actual shows (my favorites being Little Bear and Backyardigans among others). So glad someone said what I was thinking about the streaming service! Always good memories
When you mentioned miss spider I instantly had flashbacks to the time where every time they mentioned “miss spider” I would get scared and change the channel because of that white bug thing
The white spider certainly weirded me out, but he was nothing for myself, a kid who watched Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, among others.
I vividly remember Noggin’s sign off sequence before they went to 24 hours. Moose and Zee would sing this cute little goodbye song, and then it would cut to a solid minute of this message against a blank screen saying that Noggin had ended and the N was coming on, while only rain sounds played in the background. I always thought it was weirdly apocalyptic as a kid.
I'm the same age as you, and I can definitely say it was really disappointing when I turned on Nick Jr in March 2012 and there were no Moose and Zee. I was already starting to move on to channels for older kids like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon at that point, but the removal of Moose and Zee was the final nail in the coffin. It's sad to see how bland the channel, app, and brand have become over the years.
i was born in 2006 so i was a lil later to moving to more “big kid channels” actually no cause I’ve started watching them more in 2012 but still had a nickelodeon bias so kinda still nick jr 2014 was when i stopped for the most part except max and ruby. I do remember the moose and zee segments but I still watched even when they were gone
I remembered noggin when flash was still a thing and I was playing nickjr games on thier website. The moose voice was very comforting to me for some reason. Still sad it was discontinued, but I had fond memories of noggin every now and then. 💛
i remember crying uncontrollably as like a 4yro when i saw that moose and zee were gone. i vaguely remember my mom calling our tv provider being confused about it lmaoo
Noggin has raised me. You have no idea how much I LOVE NOGGIN. All of the shows (Dora the Explorer, Diego, The Backyardigans, Oobi, Max & Ruby, The Upside Down Show etc.,) are just family to me. And I LOVE MOOSE AND ZEE. I will continue loving them until I day I die. It's a shame that kids now don't get to experience the same as much as I did. I just wish Nickelodeon could create a tv channel similar to Adult Swim, but decitated to all classic Noggin & Nick Jr. shows. If that happen, I'll be really happy. But Thank God for archives on RUclips though.
@@Meghangoshhh You can search up noggin & Nick Jr commercials break. Unfortunately, you can't leave any comments on them since it's marked as made for kids.
My sister was the one who Noggin was constantly on for and I found it truly comforting after a day of teenager stuff. I still sing, “I don’t like candy corn, give it to my sister,” from the Halloween bumpers they had any time I have candy corn now
Older sibling sucked into being invested in a kids programming network solidarity is very real here, though I wasn’t quite a teen but definitely’too old’ to watch it lol. I think it just made me want to seek out working on that kind of show as a career instead though since there was so much genuine heart in Noggin shows and yeah it was pretty relaxing from the rest of my day to day life
I was a Noggin kid for sure. I remember twilight in the summer/fall when the sun was setting, Jack's Big Music Show was over, and it was time for dinner. Then we'd switch over to PBS Kids Sprout for nighttime. It was always such a comforting presence, so much so that I still go back to them sometimes when my mind needs to slow down. When I was a kid, cartoons didn't need constant loud colors and noise to keep you stimulated. They didn't make much noise at all, really. They relaxed you so you could think about what was happening and go to bed happy. Now Nick Jr. is all Baby Shark and whatever the hell PAW Patrol has turned into, and Sprout turned into Universal Kids, which I haven't seen but probably isn't much better. It only got worse with the advent of RUclips Kids and all the schlock that entails. Just brainrot through and through. Bluey has become the exception instead of the norm. Disheartening to see. Kids deserve shows that have more substance than style. God. 21 and I sound like the dad from Calvin and Hobbes.
I used to love noggin as a kid. The nights where I would be up late and watch Maggie and the ferocious beast was my favorite. Also, I don’t know if anyone remembers this, but I remember in the early 2010’s when noggin switched to nick jr they also tried to have their own version of nick at nite, but it was called nick mom and it would come on at 10pm or so. I don’t think it lasted very long, but this is something that I remember them doing
I remember my family and I going to a rainforest cafe one night and we were all happy and excited. When we got back, I turned on the TV and the Nick Jr layout was completely different and I audibly gasped. I remember playing the mini games on the computer with my brother and laughing at the Moose-A-Moose icon saying that he was stalking us. RIP Noggin, will be missed.
When I was little I (and my younger siblings) LOVED Moose and Zee. My grandmother even made me these little felt plushies of them, I think my mom still has them somewhere. When the network killed them off, the three of us cried and cried and wouldn't stop. My mom wrote a whole letter to the network telling them off for making me and my sisters cry 😂 Rest in peace Moose and Zee, gone but never forgotten ✊😔
Kipper was my comfort show I completely forgot about him until you said it I remember the instant cozy and calmness I feel when I saw him on tv when I was little
ur channel is SO gratifying + validating bc ur literally born same month/year as me within like . a week and i’ve been struggling to find remnants of the media i grew up on but its so few and far between. need noggin broadcasts on youtube asap
Fun Fact: The RUclips channel “Rare Noggin Stuff” usually has hour-long Noggin/Nick Jr. Videos that had Moose A. Moose and Zee with them. I’m not too sure if this is in one of their videos, but I remember one of them had a short where Moose went to the park with his NEPHEW, Bruce A. Moose to learn about a Panda’s puppy, BRO’S A FUCKING UNCLE.
it's very sad that the network completely got rid of the noggin original shows off their app, they've essentially became lost media again. i hope that someday in the future they bring them back once more. i miss you, moose and zee
Nostalgia just hit me, when I was little Noggin was my favorite program to watch I had watched it every single day. I'm very thankful that I was born in the 2000s.
Thank you for reminding me of the old shows names that I have completely thought about. Showing those bumpers with moose and zee brought back a lot of nostalgia. I've wondered myself what happened to it only from this video it's basically been there the entire time just rebranded. Rest in peace noggin. I will miss you and your shows you had that I was able to watch.
As someone who watched Noggin growing up, seeing how well loved Obie was as a show is so funny to me. My parents always HATED IT whenever it came on the TV 😭 they thought the way the characters spoke in broken, baby talk English was so annoying. As a kid, I never understood it
After the switch, Oobi would come on late at night like around midnight, so im sure for most parents of that era, it was nice, because they didn't have to listen to real hand puppets talking like 1-2 year old toddlers, but then again if you were someone who loved Oobi, you would have to find a way to watch it whenever Moose A. Moose would announce it.
I used to adore this channel. Oobi as a show used to freak me OUT. Primarily because I am an insomniac and for me I struggle to go to sleep and also STAY asleep. And when I was younger I liked the tv on when I went to bed. So, often I would RANDOMLY wake up at 3 in the morning and be immediately met with the voices presented in oobi at low volume and I swear that is my ONLY memory of the show and it still freaks me out for some reason.
I had a very similar experience to yours, actually! I fell asleep on a little blanket fort in the living room with Noggin on Tv and I woke up to the credits of Oobi playing in the dead of night. I was paralyzed in fear and I couldn't move for a few good moments. Needless to say, I refused to watch the show afterwards and cries every time it came on. Me and Oobi are chill now, though
I feel like I remember Noggin doing some kind of party where they hyped up the name change and then at 12 they officially changed the name to Nick Jr. I was very pissed as a child 💀 My family and I remember this channel very fondly though, particularly for how much it engaged in music! My family cites this channel and its music acts for why I became so musically inclined, I wish kids channels today still engaged with music and the arts as much. We focus a lot on STEM today, but I feel like it comes at the expense of language and the arts
I was someone who grew up with Noggin, and the early years of the rebrand to Nick Jr. Honestly the shows here inspired me to become who I am. They served to influence me and shape my youth. I am straight up nostalgic for shows like Jack's Big Music Show, Olivia, Backyardigains, Wonder Pets and many other from that error. I have pluses of the different characters, and have become very invested in the legacy of these classic shows. To the point to where recently I started on a video Soulie about Jack's Big Music Show, doing a full examination of it. I can't say when it will be done, but needless to say this channel inspired me creatively and shaped me into who I am today. I would really appreciate if the program came back in a full time compacity, I would argue it's more Iconic than Nick Jr could ever be.
i LOVED noggin as a kid and was obsessed with moose and zee. when they rebranded, my 5 year old brain had no clue what channel i was even watching so i thought they just. disappeared forever and i was devastated. for years i thought i dreamt the mascots because none of my classmates knew what i was talking about
I used to watch reruns of Ghost Writer when I was a little kid on early Noggin, and I know I watched some stuff on The N, but I mostly remember Moose and Zee from when I used to babysit my nephew. 20:00 the shows around this mark in the video are pretty familiar to me. Honestly, I'm just here because I'm super interested in TV channels and programming blocks and such. Great video! P.S.: and yeah, I feel super old watching this
I was a kid watching Noggin in the early days, as in I distinctly remember voting in the online poll that picked Phred as the official mascot. The retro block was definitely not an Adult Swim situation, it was a lot more like like Nick At Night, where they aired retro programming that would be nostalgic for adults, but which was created for family and/or child viewing. Stuff like The Electric Company, or vintage Sesame Street from back when Oscar was orange. Watched that stuff with my dad, actually, probably a big part of why I love retro TV so much to this day.
After both Sprout and Noggin ended, years after lots of the shows moved to Qubo. Franklin ,Mrs Spiders Sunnypatch , Jay Jay jet plane, Bob the builder (in Qubos final years) and etc. Qubo unfortunately ended in 2021 It seems like most educational or forgotten shows ended up on Qubo.
@@hawkfeather6802 I remember I was watching Bob The Builder that night and all of a sudden a random cowboy show started playing. Channel name changed and etc. So unfortunate.
I was born 1997 and I watched noggin past the point you’d expect. I never saw it become nick Jr. but late night Oobie reruns when I couldn’t sleep with my DS playing Pokémon was nice.
I was a preteen (11) when the N debuted. And I can say the channel was literally all I ever wanted to watch. I hated having to wait until it shifted from noggin 😅 south of nowhere was the first show I watched that opened my eyes to a lot of things being from a small town. That channel really helped shaped me view of things from my preteen years through my teen years lol
In the UK, Nick Jr used the name Noggin in 2004 for their slot of retro UK cartoons from the 70s/80s (Thomas The Tank Engine, Mr Benn, Rainbow among other shows) but ultimately rebranded this as Nick Jr Classics down the line. I've always about Noggin growing up but never got to check it out being from the UK so it was nice to check this brief history out
My favorite memory of Noggin is their Thanksgiving song and animation that played every year around thanksgiving. In my child brain, it wasn't thanksgiving time until that little song played 🥲
I use to love The N when it was still around. It aired a lot of Canadian teen shows on there (few things I could talk about when talking about nostalgic teen shows with my Canadian husband)
I’m 24 almost 25 and I grew up watching pretty much every single one of the shows from the wonderpets/lazy town era of Noggin. Thank you for reminding me of a simpler, and frankly happier time of my childhood.
Noggin was what I watched when I was a little kid. My favorite shows had to be Little Bear, Oswald, The Backyardigans, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast and lots more! I remember my parents would tape some Noggin shows on some tapes and I'd take them with me to the beach house because it didn't have cable. I also have vivid memories of Noggin still playing in the middle of the night. The Upside Down Show and Gullah Gullah Island would always seem to play at those times. I miss these times..
Re: the schizophrenia quote - I'm 45, so maybe slightly older than the main viewership of your channel. I've got a son who's a handful of years older than you, and I clicked on your video when it was suggested to me by the algorithm because the title jogged my nostalgia for watching The Backyardigans, Wonder Pets, etc with him when he was small and playing along with him as he pretended to be those characters. Your comment about 2004 got me cackling so hard - I'm a neurodivergent person with other mental illnesses, as well, and while i don't have schizophrenia, two of my housemates and one of my other closest friends do. And yeah, it can be jarring and frustrating as hell when we see our divergences, disorders, and illnesses used as an adjective to describe an abled, typical person's life circumstances when they describe a situation that's only superficially similar. It contributes to the minimization of our lived experiences, the marginalization of people who already endure many intersecting hardships, and the dismissal of mental illness as something that's trivial. In a word, it's ableist as hell. I was your age in 1997, and while we've got a long way to go culturally, it's nice to see that people are finally coming around, over twenty years later, to understanding just how dehumanizing a lot of our society's casual language usage has been historically, and how it still continues to influence culture in ways that aren't always very subtle, but frequently are.
So happy to see noggin talked about! My mother preferred we watched it as children and we LOVED it! Moose and Zee are still vivid memories in my mind and heart, also my suggestion to talk about next: DISCOVERY KIDS, I remember watching bindi the jungle girl on this channel and Paz the penguin!
I had to immediately leave this video after The Upside-Down Show was mentioned to look it up because that brought back an absolute tidal wave of memories
moose and zee were my Besties dude my family still quotes their halloween and christmas songs at each other lol. genuinely miss those guys dearly they were so comforting :(
This was a really great video! So many memories started flooding back lol. One show that I will always associate with Noggin is a show called Tiny Planets. I remember it starting as shorts but then these shorts would become a half hour block at some point. It was about two aliens named Bing and Bong who went to “tiny planets” and focused a lot on science, math, nature, physical health, etc. it was a very cute show and I will always associate it with Noggin, a very iconic network!
the nostalgia is hitting me like a ton of bricks 😭😭 on a slightly unrelated note, i loved Oobi so much (Oobi stans rise up), i called my grandpa Grampu. his memorial tattoo is two mushrooms surrounded by foliage and a banner that says ‘Grampu’
Yep. Loved Oobie as a kid. I remember watching it in two separate time periods, so likey the original Nick Jr. run as an actual preschooler, then the Noggin run as an 8 year old. That, Max and Ruby, Maisy, and Ms. Spider were my top shoes.
Ugh, I miss Noggin'. There was something so magical and innocent from that time, and I actually lit up when you mentioned Kipper and Rubberdubbers. I miss being a kid
Not even joking just found your account through this video and went down the rabbit hole of your entire channel and cant express how amazed i am that you cover literally everything i like lmaoo, gained a big fan frfr, love how your videos are made and love your vid backgrounds even more!!
To be honest with you, Yo Gabba Gabba! (owned by WildBrain) was one of the best shows on Noggin among others including The Upside Down Show, Maisy (even though it’s owned by Universal Studios), Play with Me Sesame (before that show moved to Sprout), Dora The Explorer and Blue’s Clues.
You are a true hero for risking the DMCA on some of those songs. Also, as a 10 or 11-year-old child when I started seeing the rebrand for noggin becoming, Nick Junior and I knew; oh, boy, this is the beginning of the end isn’t it? I never heard of the streaming service I guess to be fair by then we cut our cable in like 2013 and I don’t think we’ve ever gotten cable in the last 10 years so that’s a thing but it was nice to hear some nostalgia and that list just brought back all types of memories. So thank you for the research and putting your sources in the description ; nice to go down this nostalgia trip. oh, and yeah, screw Nickelodeon as a company!
thank u for validating my very hazy memories about this stuff! i'm currently 23 and i vaguely remember the switch to moose and zee, but i also remember watching degrassi every now and then on the n as a toddler. i could never remember what channel that was or why i would've been watching it until i saw that logo on this vid lol
thank you for covering noggin oh my god. one of my earliest dreams i remember is with moose and zee! i think i was like 5 or 6. i dreamt that me, zee, and moose were riding on a flying bear over a city made of peppermint candy😭
Glad I watched this video! It was cool to have someone my age remind me about all these cool shows that I completely forgot about. You're a fun presenter, and gave a very informative retrospective :D
that moose inspired the first nightmare i ever had. i was sitting on my couch watching Noggin in the middle of the night and he announced a commercial break, saying something along the lines of “we’ll be right back, so don’t you move!” i got up to get myself a cup of orange juice and he came back to yell “ohpe! you moved!” and he shot lasers out of his eyes at me
BRO I REMEMBER NOGGIN SO MUCH!! I legit couldn’t tell that they disappeared when I was younger until the Moose and Zee bumpers stopped airing. But then I suddenly get an ad for the Noggin app which is where the nostalgia hits HARD
This network was my early childhood 😢 thank you for this video. It brought back so many memories. I was watching the channel a lot from the mid to late 2000s.
The name just takes me back to when I was young and watching so many classic little kids shows back in my day - Oobi, Oswald, Go Diego Go and some of the Puzzle Time segments bring me back 😊
Noggin was absolutely my channel in the mid-2000s up until I "graduated" to the more mainstream kids networks in 2007. Listening to you quickly running down the channel's lineup around the time brought back a lot of good memories. Also yeah, The N came on _way_ too early. That "going to bed" song still echoes in my mind to this day.
Neat overview of Noggin! I hadn't remembered the Phred or Feetface eras, so it was nice to hear about 'em before delving into the Moose & Zee era. Speaking of Feetface though, the sendoff from Feetface to Moose & Zee felt sweet and while some parts of the Facebook parent responses to the sudden shift from Noggin to Nick Jr felt wild, I eventually understood and felt bad for any kids that were confused about Moose & Zee's disappearance, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I kinda remember this bc it changed to Nick jr. halfway through my childhood. I normally watched pbs kids (peg + cat carried) and Disney jr growing up but I vaguely remember having the noggin app on my old iPad 2 (it had a minty mlp background last time I touched it) so that’s something :D
Man, hearing you read out the names of the shows also game me nostalgia. My older brothers and I were big on wonderpets especially, got my mom to feed us a lot of celery. My grandma lived with us around the time I was born because she had severe dementia among a number of other health issues. I asked why my grandma could never remember me, and my brother responded by saying, “It’s like the wonderpets. She goes on a new adventure every day.” She passed away in 2014, still miss her lots.
Moose and Zee had such a warm presence to them. They cared about you when you needed it. I completely forgot about Kipper the dog. I was always around for the theme and i just switch it for something else, but went back and learned to love it now. Oobi was my show for as long as i remember. Second was wow wow wubbzi, third was the upside-down show. Sucks hearing how it ended but hopefully kids are enjoying the new noggin.
23:33 Yeah what was messed up they basically moved all of the fun and energetic shows to 12 am to 5 am like I'm talking about Yo Gabba Gabba, The Fresh Beat Band, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Blue's Clues
I remember being introduced to Noggin back in circa 2000 when Nickelodeon had a “Noggin on Nick” block. Four different Noggin shows on at 6:30AM week mornings. My parents eventually upped our satellite package in circa 2004 so we got the-n/noggin. Another show from the-n other than DeGrassi was Radio Free Roscoe. It didn’t run as long as DeGrassi but a notable show.
Being from the UK, Noggin felt like such a weird fever dream in our kid's TV lineup. Until recent years the main three channels (which were also free to view) were CBBC, CBeebies (both BBC networks one for older kids like Disney or Nick and the other for preschoolers), and then CITV (owned by ITV) which often aired American shows mainly from Nick alongside their own shows. Alongside these (especially when there were only 5 channels before Freeview became the norm) all main channels would have a kid's block in the morning, so before my parents got a Freeview TV I could only ever watch shows for an hour or so unless I went to relatives who had Sky or Freeview. Then when we got Freeview, one random day before school my mum found a new channel out of nowhere which used Noggin for their kid's block, which only showed the American shows that would occasionally appear on CITV and as a kid obsessed with Dora it was like Christmas came early. This channel was only live for a few months until it disappeared off the face of the earth. I don't even remember what channel had the Noggin slot, and none of my friends remember the Noggin slot or any of the shows that weren't shown on CITV unless they paid for Nick through Sky, which we did not do.
UPDATE: Noggin is officially shutting down for good R.I.P 💔 despite my thoughts on those atrocious “noggins” this didn’t need to happen
“You are absolutely joking.”
-Morgz Mum
R.I.P. Noggin App You Will Be Missed (Including Mosse and Zee, They Were Awesome) 😭😭😭😭
rip moose and zee 😞
And I can’t even login one last time to play pup picture day or the rabbit and present games😢
Yeah, I think this video will make people feel better because it helps them know that this isn’t the first time noggin died
if moose a. moose and zee have no fans, i am in the grave
I second this
I third this. EVERY MORNING, AFTERNOON, AND EVENING, I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM ON TV AND DO THEIR THING
Me age 4
SO REAL
Same. OG's.
I remember losing my shit after seeing a commercial for the Noggin app because that was the first time I saw Moose and Zee in years. It wasn't like "omg I forgot about them" but it was like "omg I thought I'd never see them again" and it was a very magical moment
DUDE SAME HOLY FUCK😂😮😮
YEA
SAME 😭😭
I forgot and don't remember Noggin frr I watched that when I was a baby Idk why I miss Moose and Zee
Literally had the same reaction. Just waiting for SpongeBob to come back on while I munched on cereal and all of a sudden I see Moose and Zee for the first time in years. Holy nostalgia reaction right there.
You wouldn’t believe my confused child brain when Noggin “disappeared” and Nick Jr started
right?? like at least when feetface was they aired a commercial introducing moose & zee for a couple months beforehand
Right? I was devastated when it happened
i could’ve sworn they were on at the same time. one channel was noggin and the other was nick jr.
@niyxxp pretty sure you're right because it was a part bc I think Degrassi aired on there
@niyxxp I REMEMBER THIS TOO. They most definitely were on at the same time.
The amount of Parallels between Noggin and Sprout are kinda insane.
-Started as a Partnership
-Aired shows from the companies’ library
-Eventually overtaken by the big corporate company after others dip
-Gets rebranded to include a bigger more well-known name, only leaving some of the original channel’s features that are gradually phased out over time
-Nowadays is a shell of its former self with its once lively mascots now left to rot in a vault somewhere.
It’s such a shame that the two channels died the way they did but it’s very fascinating seeing them fade in such a similar way despite being very loosely tied to each other.
- started as a partnership with sesame workshop
- healthily survived for well over a decade until falling victim to corporate unification/rebrandings in the 2010s
Sprout was such a nice tv show growing up for me and helped me learn some spanish when I wasnt taught it. so sad to see these two go down badly :(
I remember sprout so vividly lol. I used to watch Chloe’s Closet all the time when I was younger
You also gotta remember that Sesame Workshop played an integral role in both channels existence.
Don't forget the protests by parents who knew what they were talking about.
I'm only just now realizing how much of my childhood I spent watching Noggin. Hearing the names Oswald and Wow Wow Wubbzy almost made me cry, because it reminded me of standing in the middle of my grandma's couch, eating cookies and drinking chocolate milk.
and now oswald is in the public domain
@@leongay3190they’re talking about the octopus, not the rabbit
Hearing about Oswald and wow wow wubbzy make me feel nostalgic for it because I was a family friends a lot as a kid for sleep overs and I would wake up in the middle of the night to wow wow wubbzy and it would brighten my night I am so sad they don’t play any more episodes of old shows like they did back then
I blame Moose for causing a whole generation to hate candy corn.
that's legit the only segment I somewhat remember from being born later on in 2008 lmao
Yeah
Loved that song, but I liked candy corn as a kid, now I can't eat it XD
I swear I feel like a foul beast for liking candy corn but not mint. Like every time I mentioned it as a little kid I'd always get dissed and taunted by the (ableist) teachers with that damned song. Jerkums
😂
I was a Noggin kid and a HUGE advocate for their return lol. I loved Moose and Zee more than the actual shows (my favorites being Little Bear and Backyardigans among others). So glad someone said what I was thinking about the streaming service! Always good memories
Quite literally same here. Brings back the good ol memories
When you mentioned miss spider I instantly had flashbacks to the time where every time they mentioned “miss spider” I would get scared and change the channel because of that white bug thing
EW I REMEMBER THAT THING
The white spider certainly weirded me out, but he was nothing for myself, a kid who watched Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, among others.
Well he was voiced by Frollo’s VA
Spiderus! His wife and kids freaked me out more than him but I totally get why he creeped you out lol
Bro that white spider’s face looked like James Charles in clown makeup.
I vividly remember Noggin’s sign off sequence before they went to 24 hours. Moose and Zee would sing this cute little goodbye song, and then it would cut to a solid minute of this message against a blank screen saying that Noggin had ended and the N was coming on, while only rain sounds played in the background. I always thought it was weirdly apocalyptic as a kid.
I found it calming.
I'm the same age as you, and I can definitely say it was really disappointing when I turned on Nick Jr in March 2012 and there were no Moose and Zee. I was already starting to move on to channels for older kids like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon at that point, but the removal of Moose and Zee was the final nail in the coffin. It's sad to see how bland the channel, app, and brand have become over the years.
I definitely think the new mascots were meant to be a rip-off of minions.
@@apenguinnamedabraham come my minions
i was born in 2006 so i was a lil later to moving to more “big kid channels”
actually no cause I’ve started watching them more in 2012 but still had a nickelodeon bias so kinda still nick jr

I remembered noggin when flash was still a thing and I was playing nickjr games on thier website. The moose voice was very comforting to me for some reason. Still sad it was discontinued, but I had fond memories of noggin every now and then. 💛

I just wish Nickelodeon could create a tv channel similar to Adult Swim, but decitated to all classic Noggin & Nick Jr. shows. If that happen, I'll be really happy. But Thank God for archives on RUclips though.
Do you know where the archives are? I miss noggin as well:((

the ukelele appearance at 6:41 is an absolutely unhinged joke and im ALL HERE FOR IT 😭😭😭😭
Sis had to pull it out 💀
My sister was the one who Noggin was constantly on for and I found it truly comforting after a day of teenager stuff. I still sing, “I don’t like candy corn, give it to my sister,” from the Halloween bumpers they had any time I have candy corn now
Older sibling sucked into being invested in a kids programming network solidarity is very real here, though I wasn’t quite a teen but definitely’too old’ to watch it lol. I think it just made me want to seek out working on that kind of show as a career instead though since there was so much genuine heart in Noggin shows and yeah it was pretty relaxing from the rest of my day to day life
Your research skills and ability to churn out weekly videos is seriously admirable. Can't wait to watch this one!
hope you enjoyed!! i try my best 🫶💕
Could you do the downfall of Playhouse Disney? I grew up watching that channel and I feel like it doesn't get talked a lot about these days.
I SECOND THIS
I THIRD THIS
I FOURTH THIS ‼️
I FIFTH THIS!!!
Does anyone remember bunnytown?
I was a Noggin kid for sure. I remember twilight in the summer/fall when the sun was setting, Jack's Big Music Show was over, and it was time for dinner. Then we'd switch over to PBS Kids Sprout for nighttime. It was always such a comforting presence, so much so that I still go back to them sometimes when my mind needs to slow down.
When I was a kid, cartoons didn't need constant loud colors and noise to keep you stimulated. They didn't make much noise at all, really. They relaxed you so you could think about what was happening and go to bed happy. Now Nick Jr. is all Baby Shark and whatever the hell PAW Patrol has turned into, and Sprout turned into Universal Kids, which I haven't seen but probably isn't much better. It only got worse with the advent of RUclips Kids and all the schlock that entails. Just brainrot through and through. Bluey has become the exception instead of the norm. Disheartening to see. Kids deserve shows that have more substance than style.
God. 21 and I sound like the dad from Calvin and Hobbes.
Do downfall of playhouse Disney
And downfall of toon Disney
STOP i miss jacks big music show holy shit
@@alyssaes21 I miss
Little bear , the wonder pets , backyardigans, wow wow wubbzy, toot and puddle, Olivia , Peter rabbit,
@@alexaforgionedisneygirl13423That's another one. I mean, damn, does Disney Jr. even exist anymore?
@@punkysnarks yea
I vividly remember that fatefull day in 2012 when the channel did the full reboot. Moose and Zee were nowhere to be seen...it was tragic 😭
I used to love noggin as a kid. The nights where I would be up late and watch Maggie and the ferocious beast was my favorite. Also, I don’t know if anyone remembers this, but I remember in the early 2010’s when noggin switched to nick jr they also tried to have their own version of nick at nite, but it was called nick mom and it would come on at 10pm or so. I don’t think it lasted very long, but this is something that I remember them doing
I remember that!
I remember that. It didn't last long
I remember my family and I going to a rainforest cafe one night and we were all happy and excited. When we got back, I turned on the TV and the Nick Jr layout was completely different and I audibly gasped. I remember playing the mini games on the computer with my brother and laughing at the Moose-A-Moose icon saying that he was stalking us. RIP Noggin, will be missed.
omg you just mentioning rainforest cafe brought back so many memories
When I was little I (and my younger siblings) LOVED Moose and Zee. My grandmother even made me these little felt plushies of them, I think my mom still has them somewhere. When the network killed them off, the three of us cried and cried and wouldn't stop. My mom wrote a whole letter to the network telling them off for making me and my sisters cry 😂 Rest in peace Moose and Zee, gone but never forgotten ✊😔
Fun Fact: Jack’s Big Music Show was created by (and starred) David Rudman, one of the main muppeteers on Sesame Street.
omg that’s so cool! i think that’s how it worked with co-production agreement then i should’ve specified
I grew up with moose and Zee when noggin was around. Pure memories….
Also, The Upside Down show is so underrated
True dat.
YESSSS. THAT SHOW WAS THE BEST 😍😍😍
Kipper was my comfort show I completely forgot about him until you said it I remember the instant cozy and calmness I feel when I saw him on tv when I was little
I miss the days when Noggin/Nick Jr. Channel never aired commercials during shows. Also, I'm glad to see another fellow Rubbadubbers fan!
ur channel is SO gratifying + validating bc ur literally born same month/year as me within like . a week and i’ve been struggling to find remnants of the media i grew up on but its so few and far between. need noggin broadcasts on youtube asap
I'm so glad you're seeing channel growth, you deserve it!
Fun Fact: The RUclips channel “Rare Noggin Stuff” usually has hour-long Noggin/Nick Jr. Videos that had Moose A. Moose and Zee with them. I’m not too sure if this is in one of their videos, but I remember one of them had a short where Moose went to the park with his NEPHEW, Bruce A. Moose to learn about a Panda’s puppy, BRO’S A FUCKING UNCLE.
"E is for existential dread"
Why do I love that shirt so much?
This is why I love RUclips. I love discovering new channels that do long form content. Thank god that this genre isn’t dead.
it's very sad that the network completely got rid of the noggin original shows off their app, they've essentially became lost media again. i hope that someday in the future they bring them back once more. i miss you, moose and zee
oh my god. I love these obscure topics about children’s networks so freaking much, there seriously isn’t enough videos of it. I love your videos!!
Nostalgia just hit me, when I was little Noggin was my favorite program to watch I had watched it every single day. I'm very thankful that I was born in the 2000s.
Thank you for reminding me of the old shows names that I have completely thought about. Showing those bumpers with moose and zee brought back a lot of nostalgia. I've wondered myself what happened to it only from this video it's basically been there the entire time just rebranded. Rest in peace noggin. I will miss you and your shows you had that I was able to watch.
As someone who watched Noggin growing up, seeing how well loved Obie was as a show is so funny to me. My parents always HATED IT whenever it came on the TV 😭 they thought the way the characters spoke in broken, baby talk English was so annoying. As a kid, I never understood it
I couldn't believe it was real because I just thought it was a fever dream.
After the switch, Oobi would come on late at night like around midnight, so im sure for most parents of that era, it was nice, because they didn't have to listen to real hand puppets talking like 1-2 year old toddlers, but then again if you were someone who loved Oobi, you would have to find a way to watch it whenever Moose A. Moose would announce it.
I used to adore this channel. Oobi as a show used to freak me OUT. Primarily because I am an insomniac and for me I struggle to go to sleep and also STAY asleep. And when I was younger I liked the tv on when I went to bed. So, often I would RANDOMLY wake up at 3 in the morning and be immediately met with the voices presented in oobi at low volume and I swear that is my ONLY memory of the show and it still freaks me out for some reason.
I had a very similar experience to yours, actually! I fell asleep on a little blanket fort in the living room with Noggin on Tv and I woke up to the credits of Oobi playing in the dead of night. I was paralyzed in fear and I couldn't move for a few good moments. Needless to say, I refused to watch the show afterwards and cries every time it came on. Me and Oobi are chill now, though
I feel like I remember Noggin doing some kind of party where they hyped up the name change and then at 12 they officially changed the name to Nick Jr. I was very pissed as a child 💀 My family and I remember this channel very fondly though, particularly for how much it engaged in music! My family cites this channel and its music acts for why I became so musically inclined, I wish kids channels today still engaged with music and the arts as much. We focus a lot on STEM today, but I feel like it comes at the expense of language and the arts
I was someone who grew up with Noggin, and the early years of the rebrand to Nick Jr. Honestly the shows here inspired me to become who I am. They served to influence me and shape my youth. I am straight up nostalgic for shows like Jack's Big Music Show, Olivia, Backyardigains, Wonder Pets and many other from that error. I have pluses of the different characters, and have become very invested in the legacy of these classic shows. To the point to where recently I started on a video Soulie about Jack's Big Music Show, doing a full examination of it. I can't say when it will be done, but needless to say this channel inspired me creatively and shaped me into who I am today. I would really appreciate if the program came back in a full time compacity, I would argue it's more Iconic than Nick Jr could ever be.
you gave me whiplash like 10 times in this video i completely forgot i watched like half of these
I lost it when you said “I just wanted to apologize” and then whipped out a ukulele
i LOVED noggin as a kid and was obsessed with moose and zee. when they rebranded, my 5 year old brain had no clue what channel i was even watching so i thought they just. disappeared forever and i was devastated. for years i thought i dreamt the mascots because none of my classmates knew what i was talking about
I used to watch reruns of Ghost Writer when I was a little kid on early Noggin, and I know I watched some stuff on The N, but I mostly remember Moose and Zee from when I used to babysit my nephew. 20:00 the shows around this mark in the video are pretty familiar to me.
Honestly, I'm just here because I'm super interested in TV channels and programming blocks and such.
Great video!
P.S.: and yeah, I feel super old watching this
Honestly I remember Moose and Zee. I always liked Moose as a little kid because he had that calming voice like Bear In The Big Blue House!
That’s Moose and Zee.
@@chieftone-tone591 autocorrect….
I was a kid watching Noggin in the early days, as in I distinctly remember voting in the online poll that picked Phred as the official mascot. The retro block was definitely not an Adult Swim situation, it was a lot more like like Nick At Night, where they aired retro programming that would be nostalgic for adults, but which was created for family and/or child viewing. Stuff like The Electric Company, or vintage Sesame Street from back when Oscar was orange. Watched that stuff with my dad, actually, probably a big part of why I love retro TV so much to this day.
Noggin changing to Nick Jr. was literally the first time I could remember being angry. I really enjoyed this very informative video!
Jack's Big Music Show representation! 15:46
After both Sprout and Noggin ended, years after lots of the shows moved to Qubo. Franklin ,Mrs Spiders Sunnypatch , Jay Jay jet plane, Bob the builder (in Qubos final years) and etc. Qubo unfortunately ended in 2021
It seems like most educational or forgotten shows ended up on Qubo.
Yep,it just ended on February 28 for no good reason.
@@hawkfeather6802 I remember I was watching Bob The Builder that night and all of a sudden a random cowboy show started playing. Channel name changed and etc. So unfortunate.
@@Sunnylight200 I had a similar thing happen. It was showing the same movie as another channel called Grit. Then it just stopped.
Feb. 2021
@@hawkfeather6802 Grits one of the newer channels right? Plays movies or something?
I was born 1997 and I watched noggin past the point you’d expect. I never saw it become nick Jr. but late night Oobie reruns when I couldn’t sleep with my DS playing Pokémon was nice.
I was a preteen (11) when the N debuted. And I can say the channel was literally all I ever wanted to watch. I hated having to wait until it shifted from noggin 😅 south of nowhere was the first show I watched that opened my eyes to a lot of things being from a small town. That channel really helped shaped me view of things from my preteen years through my teen years lol
the tiny sound clip of moose singing at the end just took me soo back. god, i loved that song so much?! man, the nostalgia is hittin soo hard
So excited ! I love your videos , always so much work put in to them
In the UK, Nick Jr used the name Noggin in 2004 for their slot of retro UK cartoons from the 70s/80s (Thomas The Tank Engine, Mr Benn, Rainbow among other shows) but ultimately rebranded this as Nick Jr Classics down the line. I've always about Noggin growing up but never got to check it out being from the UK so it was nice to check this brief history out
My favorite memory of Noggin is their Thanksgiving song and animation that played every year around thanksgiving. In my child brain, it wasn't thanksgiving time until that little song played 🥲
listen, im a bitter old adult (at the age of 25) but hearing that little jingle at the end of the video made me smile and i love it
The amount of MEMORIES I have locked up till now bro-
I use to love The N when it was still around. It aired a lot of Canadian teen shows on there (few things I could talk about when talking about nostalgic teen shows with my Canadian husband)
I’m 24 almost 25 and I grew up watching pretty much every single one of the shows from the wonderpets/lazy town era of Noggin. Thank you for reminding me of a simpler, and frankly happier time of my childhood.
Bro your whole channel is full of my childhood, im impressed. Gonna watch these while drawing
Noggin was what I watched when I was a little kid. My favorite shows had to be Little Bear, Oswald, The Backyardigans, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast and lots more! I remember my parents would tape some Noggin shows on some tapes and I'd take them with me to the beach house because it didn't have cable. I also have vivid memories of Noggin still playing in the middle of the night. The Upside Down Show and Gullah Gullah Island would always seem to play at those times. I miss these times..
Re: the schizophrenia quote - I'm 45, so maybe slightly older than the main viewership of your channel. I've got a son who's a handful of years older than you, and I clicked on your video when it was suggested to me by the algorithm because the title jogged my nostalgia for watching The Backyardigans, Wonder Pets, etc with him when he was small and playing along with him as he pretended to be those characters. Your comment about 2004 got me cackling so hard - I'm a neurodivergent person with other mental illnesses, as well, and while i don't have schizophrenia, two of my housemates and one of my other closest friends do. And yeah, it can be jarring and frustrating as hell when we see our divergences, disorders, and illnesses used as an adjective to describe an abled, typical person's life circumstances when they describe a situation that's only superficially similar. It contributes to the minimization of our lived experiences, the marginalization of people who already endure many intersecting hardships, and the dismissal of mental illness as something that's trivial. In a word, it's ableist as hell.
I was your age in 1997, and while we've got a long way to go culturally, it's nice to see that people are finally coming around, over twenty years later, to understanding just how dehumanizing a lot of our society's casual language usage has been historically, and how it still continues to influence culture in ways that aren't always very subtle, but frequently are.
As a 90’s/2000’s Kid, I totally remember and Really miss watching 1999-2001 Noggin!😭❤️📺🎶👍🏻#BringBack1999Noggin
I watched 2007-2009 Noggin.
So happy to see noggin talked about! My mother preferred we watched it as children and we LOVED it! Moose and Zee are still vivid memories in my mind and heart, also my suggestion to talk about next: DISCOVERY KIDS, I remember watching bindi the jungle girl on this channel and Paz the penguin!
I remember the day it changed and noggin had a section saying goodbye I kid you not I started bawling 😭😭
I had to immediately leave this video after The Upside-Down Show was mentioned to look it up because that brought back an absolute tidal wave of memories
moose and zee were my Besties dude my family still quotes their halloween and christmas songs at each other lol. genuinely miss those guys dearly they were so comforting :(
This was a really great video! So many memories started flooding back lol. One show that I will always associate with Noggin is a show called Tiny Planets. I remember it starting as shorts but then these shorts would become a half hour block at some point. It was about two aliens named Bing and Bong who went to “tiny planets” and focused a lot on science, math, nature, physical health, etc. it was a very cute show and I will always associate it with Noggin, a very iconic network!
the nostalgia is hitting me like a ton of bricks 😭😭
on a slightly unrelated note, i loved Oobi so much (Oobi stans rise up), i called my grandpa Grampu. his memorial tattoo is two mushrooms surrounded by foliage and a banner that says ‘Grampu’
Yep. Loved Oobie as a kid. I remember watching it in two separate time periods, so likey the original Nick Jr. run as an actual preschooler, then the Noggin run as an 8 year old. That, Max and Ruby, Maisy, and Ms. Spider were my top shoes.
@@panayiotianavas3380 little you had impeccable taste in cartoons 😌
Ugh, I miss Noggin'. There was something so magical and innocent from that time, and I actually lit up when you mentioned Kipper and Rubberdubbers. I miss being a kid
My God this video hits so close to home you don't even know. I was freaking raised on Noggin as a kid born in 2003.
Ayyyy, same here, dude!
Born in 07. Raised on Noggin. Sure I don’t remember much but this video brings back so many memories 😭
Not even joking just found your account through this video and went down the rabbit hole of your entire channel and cant express how amazed i am that you cover literally everything i like lmaoo, gained a big fan frfr, love how your videos are made and love your vid backgrounds even more!!
To be honest with you, Yo Gabba Gabba! (owned by WildBrain) was one of the best shows on Noggin among others including The Upside Down Show, Maisy (even though it’s owned by Universal Studios), Play with Me Sesame (before that show moved to Sprout), Dora The Explorer and Blue’s Clues.
And don’t forget Ooby.
You are a true hero for risking the DMCA on some of those songs.
Also, as a 10 or 11-year-old child when I started seeing the rebrand for noggin becoming, Nick Junior and I knew; oh, boy, this is the beginning of the end isn’t it?
I never heard of the streaming service I guess to be fair by then we cut our cable in like 2013 and I don’t think we’ve ever gotten cable in the last 10 years so that’s a thing but it was nice to hear some nostalgia and that list just brought back all types of memories.
So thank you for the research and putting your sources in the description ; nice to go down this nostalgia trip.
oh, and yeah, screw Nickelodeon as a company!
name a more iconic duo than moose and zee, i'll wait
thank u for validating my very hazy memories about this stuff! i'm currently 23 and i vaguely remember the switch to moose and zee, but i also remember watching degrassi every now and then on the n as a toddler. i could never remember what channel that was or why i would've been watching it until i saw that logo on this vid lol
thank you for covering noggin oh my god. one of my earliest dreams i remember is with moose and zee! i think i was like 5 or 6. i dreamt that me, zee, and moose were riding on a flying bear over a city made of peppermint candy😭
Glad I watched this video! It was cool to have someone my age remind me about all these cool shows that I completely forgot about. You're a fun presenter, and gave a very informative retrospective :D
Learning about this channel is one of my favorite things
Since i was born in the late 2000s i barely remember it.
that moose inspired the first nightmare i ever had. i was sitting on my couch watching Noggin in the middle of the night and he announced a commercial break, saying something along the lines of “we’ll be right back, so don’t you move!” i got up to get myself a cup of orange juice and he came back to yell “ohpe! you moved!” and he shot lasers out of his eyes at me
The absolute chokehold Noggin/Nick Jr. had on me and I’m turning 20 in 2024 💀
SAME. I’ll also be 20 in 2024 and I’m not ready
BRO I REMEMBER NOGGIN SO MUCH!! I legit couldn’t tell that they disappeared when I was younger until the Moose and Zee bumpers stopped airing. But then I suddenly get an ad for the Noggin app which is where the nostalgia hits HARD
Fun Fact: The child-like designs from Feetface's era actually stayed when Moose and Zee came around until 2012. Not much of a big change.
This network was my early childhood 😢 thank you for this video. It brought back so many memories. I was watching the channel a lot from the mid to late 2000s.
The name just takes me back to when I was young and watching so many classic little kids shows back in my day - Oobi, Oswald, Go Diego Go and some of the Puzzle Time segments bring me back 😊
Noggin was absolutely my channel in the mid-2000s up until I "graduated" to the more mainstream kids networks in 2007. Listening to you quickly running down the channel's lineup around the time brought back a lot of good memories.
Also yeah, The N came on _way_ too early. That "going to bed" song still echoes in my mind to this day.
To this DAY, I still know the Candy Corn Song from Moose A. Moose
Neat overview of Noggin! I hadn't remembered the Phred or Feetface eras, so it was nice to hear about 'em before delving into the Moose & Zee era. Speaking of Feetface though, the sendoff from Feetface to Moose & Zee felt sweet and while some parts of the Facebook parent responses to the sudden shift from Noggin to Nick Jr felt wild, I eventually understood and felt bad for any kids that were confused about Moose & Zee's disappearance, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I kinda remember this bc it changed to Nick jr. halfway through my childhood. I normally watched pbs kids (peg + cat carried) and Disney jr growing up but I vaguely remember having the noggin app on my old iPad 2 (it had a minty mlp background last time I touched it) so that’s something :D
Man, hearing you read out the names of the shows also game me nostalgia. My older brothers and I were big on wonderpets especially, got my mom to feed us a lot of celery. My grandma lived with us around the time I was born because she had severe dementia among a number of other health issues. I asked why my grandma could never remember me, and my brother responded by saying, “It’s like the wonderpets. She goes on a new adventure every day.” She passed away in 2014, still miss her lots.
Ive never heard of the Feetface mascot since i only knew Moose and Zee but oh my god feetface is so cute i love them
Moose and Zee had such a warm presence to them. They cared about you when you needed it. I completely forgot about Kipper the dog. I was always around for the theme and i just switch it for something else, but went back and learned to love it now. Oobi was my show for as long as i remember. Second was wow wow wubbzi, third was the upside-down show. Sucks hearing how it ended but hopefully kids are enjoying the new noggin.
I love your channel so much!! another BANGER video!!
23:33 Yeah what was messed up they basically moved all of the fun and energetic shows to 12 am to 5 am like I'm talking about Yo Gabba Gabba, The Fresh Beat Band, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Blue's Clues
I remember being introduced to Noggin back in circa 2000 when Nickelodeon had a “Noggin on Nick” block. Four different Noggin shows on at 6:30AM week mornings. My parents eventually upped our satellite package in circa 2004 so we got the-n/noggin. Another show from the-n other than DeGrassi was Radio Free Roscoe. It didn’t run as long as DeGrassi but a notable show.
I remember this channel so well, hard to believe it’s this old. I turn 19 next month, and boy is this video making me feel old. Very well made video.
I will never forgive Nickelodeon for firing Moose and Zee. They were childhood icons in the 2000s.
Noggin dying is so sad, man, because I really enjoyed it. Now it just blends into everything else and *what moron chucked the brain thing?*
i speak your intro aloud religiously. my absolute favorite ever
Being from the UK, Noggin felt like such a weird fever dream in our kid's TV lineup. Until recent years the main three channels (which were also free to view) were CBBC, CBeebies (both BBC networks one for older kids like Disney or Nick and the other for preschoolers), and then CITV (owned by ITV) which often aired American shows mainly from Nick alongside their own shows.
Alongside these (especially when there were only 5 channels before Freeview became the norm) all main channels would have a kid's block in the morning, so before my parents got a Freeview TV I could only ever watch shows for an hour or so unless I went to relatives who had Sky or Freeview. Then when we got Freeview, one random day before school my mum found a new channel out of nowhere which used Noggin for their kid's block, which only showed the American shows that would occasionally appear on CITV and as a kid obsessed with Dora it was like Christmas came early. This channel was only live for a few months until it disappeared off the face of the earth.
I don't even remember what channel had the Noggin slot, and none of my friends remember the Noggin slot or any of the shows that weren't shown on CITV unless they paid for Nick through Sky, which we did not do.
The channel that had Noggin was TMF, which later became VIVA.
