Noggin / The N: Difference between revisions

Noggin still exists, just as a streaming service instead of a channel. The N block was discontinued in 2008, not 2009.
(Actually, The N was not a sister channel to Noggin, but rather a programming block.)

In the beginning, when The N was looking for ways to appeal to its "tween" audience, ''Daria'' was deemed too "adult" and was therefore censored. Censorship was usually restricted to cutting out "bad" words (such as Jake's numerous "dammits" and the word "ass"), but many times The N went further and cut humorous lines with innuendo or even whole plotlines. This editing became known as '''Nogginization''', and the affected episodes were said to be '''Nogginized''' to distinguish them from the original, full-length versions. Episodes were skipped over, such as "[[My Night at Daria's]]".
