Noggin / The N: Difference between revisions

Noggin is an entertainment brand ownedco-founded by MTV Networks (the owners of Nickelodeon) and Sesame Workshop. It was first launched in 1999 as a cable televisionTV networkchannel, which was divided into two programming blocks: a daytime block for youngyounger children and a nighttime block for tweens and teens, called The N (standing for "The Noggin"'''N'''oggin). ViacomSince Noggin was co-owned by MTV Networks, whothe ownschannel was able to air reruns of shows that [[MTV]] Networks owned, discontinuedincluding the''Daria''. The N block was discontinued in 20082007. It was eventually merged with Nickelodeon's own teen block, TEENick, into a separate channel called TeenNick.

At worst, the deeper cuts led to a reshaping of episodes that either removed a dimension or destroyed their clarity. In "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]", all mention of [[Alison]]'s come-ons to [[Jane Lane]] were cut out, which meant that viewers never got to see Jane ponder her sexuality and that Jane is pretty much having no plot or problems to overcome. (Notably, the Noggin's press release for the IIFY? rerun doesn't mention Alison at all - nor ''Jane!'') In "[[Lucky Strike]]," the entire subplot in which Quinn's [[Ken Edwards|substitute teacher]] hits on Tiffany is also cut. Without this scene, and the following scene in which Helen calls and threatens Ms. Li with a lawsuit, viewers have no basis for understanding why Ms. Li would force Daria to be a substitute teacher.
