NOGGIN September 2021

 Here's what NOGGIN has got cooking this September.

BIG HEARTS WORLD
We are 2/3rds through our Big Heart World campaign. Apologies that we couldn't upload last month's song entry off the BHW Beats album "Use My Ears to Listen" on time. It's currently only available on Nick Jr.'s YouTube (youtube.com/NickJr) but the Noggin VOD team is working hard to fix it.

This month, we're discussing the obvious problem-solving skills. This month's BHW song is "Help Work It Out" thankfully released to digital music platforms on the CORRECT simulcast date.

NEW EPISODES
JoJo & GranGran (Season 1 episodes 23-44)
JoJo and her grandma are back in the second half of the first season. This time, they explore the wonders of the fall and winter including Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, the three most common holidays in America.

The NOGGINs at Work/Play (episode 5 "Problem-Solving")
In the latest installment of the NOGGINs series, these NOGGIN avatars learn about the confidence and joys of problem solving.

COming to Noggin September 13th, alongside the launch of Cartoonito on Cartoon Network and HBO Max.

Numberblocks (Seasons 3-5, 66 episodes)
These Numberblocks episodes keep dropping by the dozens bucketloads EVERY MONTH so far. The third season launches and this time, we go more deeper into the advanced complex mathematics essential for the K-12th grade elementary school programs including multiplication and division, greater than and less than and equal sums.

Then in he fourth and fifth seasons, you'll learn about counting up to 100 and 1000, 2D and 3D geometry, graphs, classification and subtraction

Tales from the Playground (episode 2 "Katie's Super Slippery Slide Races")
In the second playground story, Katie, Santiago of the Seas and Skye from PAW Patrol tell us the story of the time two people fight over the slide over who would gofirst instead of correctly waiting their turn.

What's the Word? with Run DMC (episode 3 "Hypothesis")
Rev and Daryl back on the mics. This week's What's the Word? rap is about the scientific methods of hypothesis and experimentation.

Tjere are currently 120 episodes of Numberblocks broadcasted and produced. NOGGIN SVOD has been dropping them here in America rather quickly month by month since it was first uploaded in July. Don't keep your expectations high for the fourth batch to come out in September since this NOGGIN content takes years to put together.

What's The Word? with Run DMC (episodes 3-5)
Drop the mic with more WHat's The Word? raps on NOGGIN. This month explore the meanings of hypothesis, poetry and cacaphony.

NEW PLAY-ALONG EPISODES
NOGGIN Learning Missions: Plants Pursuit
(v2.0)
Our NOGGIN Learning Missions series installment from April 2020 has been refreshed and revamped with more features and gameplay instructions.

SAY GOODBYE!
Franklin and Friends (2011-2013, 2 seasons of 52 episodes)
We are so saddened to report that after six years on the platform, Franklin and Friends, the 2011 reboot of the beloved 1997 series based on the works of Paulette Borgeois and Brenda Clark will be leaving the platform on Labor Day September 6th. Our contract rights to air this program on Noggin in the USA from Treehouse TV in Canada have expired and it's time to say goodbye.

The Wiggles Get CLONED! - Fruit Salad TV Drops on YourTube September 4th

 Just when you thought the band's 30th year milestone couldn't get any better than this.

The 3-decade preschool music icon The Wiggles has announced some new members to their band who will be taking part in their all-new Fruit Salad TV series on YouTube dropping on the band's official YT account on Saturday, September 4th.

The new members include Kelly Hamilton (yellow), Teehay Hawkins (red), John Pearce (purple) and Evie Ferris (blue). The new members are a more inclusive and divorce lineupp than all the other members before.

Don't worry, the current Wiggles aren't quitting, they're just doubling in size. The current Wiggles group including founder and creator Anthony Field and 2013 veterans Emma Watkins, Simon Pryce and Lachlan Gillespie, Paul "Paddy Paddick as Captain Feathersword the Friendly Pirate and their animal friend characters mascots Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus and Shirley Shawn the Unicorn as well as Bok the Hand Puppet and the Big Red Car and some of the band's older sons will still be hanging around for a while. Field wanted these new members and to double the group since he felt like having just four members would get boring eventually.

Fruit Salad TV (26 episodes) is executive produced by Field and the original Wiggles founders Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page, produced and directed by the band's manager and showrunner in charge Paul Field, choreographed by regular Wiggles contributor Caterina Mete and photography directed by Borce Damcevski and Aaron Hill. Hill also provides post production on the series alongside Liam Doughby with set designed by Andrew Horne. The show is filmed at the band's HQ named after their 1994 hit song "Hot Potato" studios located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The news follows up on the heels of the "We're ALL Fruit Salad!" 30rth anniversary campaign, Season 12 of the band's TV series (the third batch of Ready, Steady, Wiggle!  episodes that started the 2013 members), two new video and album releases Lullabies with Love (June) and Happy Halloween Party 2 (SHOCKtober) and the YouTube rediscovery of the long-lost 2006 Latin America dub.

The band's current tour The Great Wiggly Road Trip continues to tour around Australia with their usual tradition of ending the year playing in their home country around Christmastime (November 1-December 23) still being intact. Tickets for the band's 2021 Christmas Big Show tour go on sale soon.
