If you don’t have kids, you may not have heard of “Gabby’s Dollhouse.” If you have a preschooler, it has likely become a welcome upgrade from the “Cocomelon” of your child’s nursery school days.
No intended shade at “Cocomelon,” the other monster hit for Netflix in the kids space. “Cocomelon” is simplistic animation set to familiar nursery rhymes — it’s a low lift both in terms of production and consumption. “Gabby’s,” a combination of (a little) live-action and (a lot of) animation, is a child’s entry point into storytelling and imaginative play. It was for my kids — and millions of others.
For 2023, the top 5 children’s series on streaming ranked like this, per Nielsen:
“Bluey” (43.9 billion minutes streamed on Disney+) “Cocomelon” (36.3 billion minutes streamed on Netflix) “SpongeBob Squarepants” (19.8 billion minutes streamed on Paramount+) “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” (13.9 billion minutes streamed on Disney+) “Gabby’s Dollhouse” (12.8 billion minutes...

In 2015, Pixar's "Inside Out" introduced us to a wonderful ensemble of characters in the form of five core emotions inside the mind of an 11-year old girl named Riley. Joy (Amy Poehler) was the leader of the crew, trying to keep Riley happy all the time. Sadness (Phyllis Smith) was constantly stressing out Joy by making Riley feel down in the dumps. Anger (Lewis Black) came out when Riley just couldn't deal anymore, Fear (Bill Hader) made sure Riley kept herself safe, though sometimes irrationally scared, and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) ensured that she never ate broccoli or dealt with anything cringey that might upset her.
In "Inside Out 2," all the core emotions are comfortable in keeping Riley on the straight and narrow, complete with a new belief system and sense of self (more on that in our full footage reaction from our visit to Pixar Animation), even though...

Paramount+ has purged 10 Nickelodeon original series, following the removal of other Nick titles from the platform over the past several months.
The list includes the Blue’s Clues revival Blue’s Clues & You! (2019), Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019-2022), It’s Pony (2020-2022), Middlemost Post (2021-2022), Ollie’s Pack (2020), Ryan’s Mystery Playdate (2019-2023), Santiago of the Seas (2020), That Girl Lay Lay (2021-2024) as well as the made-for-Paramount+ Big Nate (2022) and Rugrats (2021), a reboot of the popular original series, which ran from 1991 to 2004..
This is said to be part of content removal addressed in the most recent Q4 earnings call on February 28. Targeting Nick titles is a little surprising as, according to parent Paramount Global, the network’s Kids & Family content consistently ranks among the most watched and re-watched programming on Paramount+.

Janice Burgess, who as an executive, producer or creator had a hand in some of the most seminal Nickelodeon animated series of the past 20 years, died Saturday in Manhattan, according to the New York Times. She was 72.
In 1998, Burgess created the first iteration of what would eventually become The Backyardigans, a fanciful show where five animal neighbors in a communal backyard imagine new settings and adventures. The first season of 20 episodes aired in 2004, with critics praising its appeal for both kids and parents as well as its “artistic exactitude” when portraying different genres and setting.
The series ran for four seasons on Nick Jr. (through 2013) with Burgess taking home the Emmy for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program in 2008. During that time, she also worked as the story editor for Nickelodeon’s revival of Winx Club and is credited as a writer on Bubble Guppies.

Noggin is shuttering. The Nickelodeon subscription-based streaming app will shut down after Paramount Global laid off the entire team behind the platform. According to Kidscreen, the service which houses titles ranging from Blue’s Clues and Dora the Explorer to Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig is going to move its programming over Paramount+ under the Nick Jr. banner. Targeting the two-to-seven-year-old demo, Noggin had 2.5 million subscribers as of 2019, four years after its launch in 2015. The service housed over a thousand educational games, videos, and books in its digital library. Some of this content will go without a home when Noggin ceases to exist. (Credit: Nickelodeon Network / Courtesy: Everett Collection) As mentioned, above, Nick Jr. titles will move over to Paramount+ along with some third-party acquired titles like JoJo and Gran Gran and Little Bear. For the time being, Noggin will no longer accept new subscribers and there will be a transitional period for pre-existing subscribers.

Noggin, Nickelodeon’s interactive learning platform for preschool-age kids, is shutting down after almost 10 years, Variety has confirmed.
Noggin is a casualty of Paramount Global’s companywide layoffs this week, which resulted in about 800 staffers being let go. The entire team that ran Noggin was laid off, as first reported by trade publication Kidscreen.
Noggin will wind down sometime in 2024, with the exact date still to be determined. Noggin will no longer be taking new subscribers and there will be a transition period for current subscribers, sources confirmed.
Paramount+ already includes video content that has been on Noggin under Nick Jr., which is the company’s flagship preschool brand, and the company is focusing on reinforcing Paramount+ as a service with programming catering the whole household.
Designed for kids aged 2 to 7, the Noggin subscription service was launched in 2015. Most recently, it cost $7.99/month or $71/year. From 1999-2009, Noggin operated as...

Noggin, Paramount Global’s interactive learning subscription service for preschoolers, is shutting down, sources tell Deadline. The Nick Jr.-affiliated app is slated to sunset this year, with the majority of its staff let go in the latest round of layoffs at Paramount Global on Tuesday that impacted about 800 U.S. employees.
As Noggin stops taking new subscribers, there will be a transition period for current ones. Noggin predated Paramount Global’s flagship streamer Paramount+, which has been carrying Noggin’s video content under the Nick Jr. preschool brand.
The development comes almost a year after Paramount reportedly explored a sale of a majority stake in Noggin as the company shifted priorities — and resources — to Paramount+ and Pluto TV.
Noggin was co-founded by Nickelodeon parent MTV Networks and Sesame Workshop and originally launched Feb. 2, 1999 as a cable television channel and a companion website focused on imagination, creativity, and education.

John Oliver is taking on CNBC’s Jim Cramer, again.
Fresh from signing a new three-year deal with HBO, as revealed by Deadline last week, the Last Week Tonight host dinged the Mad Money host in a segment on trains.
Oliver was discussing Hunter Harrison, the train exec responsible for introducing precision scheduled railroading.
“You know a person is pretty awesome if they get a ringing sound effect-laden endorsements on an esteemed show like Big Bucks Word Puke with Captain Money Clown,” he joked.
It is his latest turn roasting former hedge fund manager Cramer. In July 2022, he took on Cramer for not ringing the bell early enough on inflation and early this year he mocked him for his take on crypto.
Oliver also reminded viewers of the dark tone of the Ringo Starr-narrated “sadistic” kids TV series Thomas The Tank Engine a few times during the episode.

Frasier dove into the world of academics and brought us more than just a fashion show displaying the latest in the world of tweeds during Frasier Season 1 Episode 3.
We got a glimpse into why Frasier's recent talk show was so popular and perhaps why he decided to leave it behind.
While some moments were classic Frasier, others brought the idea of psychology as entertainment to a new low.
It's not difficult to believe that Frasier went down this road. Although he's a brilliant psychiatrist, he's also got an ego the size of the Grand Canyon.
Where NIles was happy in private practice helping patients one at a time, Frasier enjoyed doing his work in the public eye.
It's never taken much to lure Frasier towards the limelight. Although he tried to hold to certain standards on his radio show, when it came to having his face on TV, those ideals became more negotiable.

If you’re looking for family-friendly programming, you might assume Disney+ is your best choice. But according to the Parents Television and Media Council, families might want to look elsewhere for a safe harbor. The group looked across the streaming landscape to catalog which platforms offered the most TV-g or TV-pg original series.
Interestingly, Apple TV+ was rated the best service for family programming. It offers the largest number of TV-g-rated original programs. Twenty-six out of 139 programs (19%) were rated for general audiences. Only 6% were rated PG. Half (50%) of all original content on AppleTV+ is rated TV-ma.
7-Day Free Trial $6.99 / month apple.com
The worst platform for family-friendly content is Prime Video. Less than 3% of original content is rated TV-g or TV-pg. Prime Video’s content spend has been seemingly erratic, with major funding going to Thursday Night Football, and effects-heavy epics like “The Wheel of Time” or “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

In February 2013, Dreamworks Animation Television teamed with Netflix on its first-ever children’s and family series, Turbo Fast. Just four months later, the studio and streamer would unveil a multiyear content deal — 300 hours of exclusive original, first-run content.

Jimmy Kimmel joins Top Gun: Maverick stars Jon Hamm and Charles Parnell in the first trailer for the 2023 Oscars ceremony.
Ahead of the 95th Academy Awards airing live on ABC on March 12, Kimmel, who is back to host the event for the third time, debuted the awards ceremony’s first promotional spot during Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday. The footage parodies Maverick, which is nominated for six Oscars, with Kimmel addressing film characters Beau “Cyclone” Simpson (Hamm) and Solomon “Warlock” Bates (Parnell) in a moment reminiscent of the movie’s exchange involving Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to be asked to host again,” Kimmel says in the trailer. This leads Hamm to clarify, “We asked a lot of people before you.”
Hamm goes on to list celebrities who supposedly got the invite to host the Oscars before Kimmel landed the gig: “Steve Martin,...

This post contains spoilers for episode 5 of "The Last of Us."
Plenty of awful things happen in episode 5 of "The Last Of Us": impossible decisions are made, lives are unfairly lost and hopeful futures are stolen. Also, a new, terrifying creature enters the horror pantheon by showing us that yes, the mushroom zombies are capable of being even scarier than we originally thought.
Believe it or not, the monstrous Mvp of the episode is not the big boy Bloater who literally rips a man's head off — it's so much worse than that. It's a child clicker who crawls through a window, scares the hell out of Ellie, and later, saves her life by mauling a woman to death. This little girl, with her flowered head and adorable "Blue's Clues" shirt, is absolutely haunting.
