List of programs broadcast by Nick Jr. (block)
The following is a list of programs broadcast by Nick Jr., the Nickelodeon programming block broadcast from January 4, 1988, through January 30, 2009. Afterwards, the Noggin network was rebranded as Nick Jr. on September 28. The following is organized in alphabetical order.

PJ Masks (1997 TV series)
PJ Masks was an American animated television series produced by Big Idea Productions in association with the first incarnation of Viacom. Originally aired as a short on November 19, 1995 (titled "The PJ Masks in: Enter the Firefly"), as part of Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon!, the series premiered on Nickelodeon in the United States on July 14, 1997, and on Cartoon Network in Latin America (where it was known as "PJ Masks: héroes en pijamas") a year later, on May 11, 1998. The series ended in the US on August 13, 1999, during "Henry & June's Nicktoons Summer Jam", and continued to rerun in Latin America until December 31, 2004, when the CN City era replaced the Powerhouse era. In 2015, the series was revived, and premiered on Disney Junior on September 18.

The Les Pyjamasques book series by French author Romuald is based on the original 1997 TV series, and was first started when the series was airing in France.

Broadcast
Following the series' cancellation in the U.S., reruns were aired from November 8, 1999, to May 19, 2000, as part of Nick's "PJ Masks Triple-2-Week Interval Event". Originally animated in Softimage, the whole series was re-animated in Maya from January to August 2001, due to Big Idea switching to the latter during the 2000s. The episodes animated in Maya were first seen on CN Latin America from November 2001 to December 2004 (replacing the original episodes animated in Softimage, which lasted on the channel from May 1998 to June 2001) before also being shown on Nicktoons Network beginning on its launch, May 1, 2002. They also aired on YTV in Canada from February 17 to September 12, 2003. The last time PJ Masks aired on Nicktoons was on December 30, 2005, as three days prior, the series was acquired by the Walt Disney Company. It premiered on Disney Channel a week later, using the same episodes with the same new animation as on Nicktoons, airing from January 2, 2006, to February 9, 2007. Additionally, this is the second series by Big Idea acquired by Disney, the first being VeggieTales for Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior, from 2002 to 2015, and the third being 3-2-1 Penguins! for Disney XD, in 2009. (So far, Larryboy is the only Big Idea series not acquired by Disney due to the release of only four videos.)

Just like its reboot, the series has also been distributed internationally by Disney Channels Worldwide from January 2006 to November 2010 for all of their pre-2011 Disney Channels around the world (however, it also aired on Pop in the UK and Ireland from 2005 to 2008, on Rai Gulp in Italy from 2008 to 2009, and on ABC3 (Now ABC ME) in Australia and New Zealand in 2010), except for in France, where it has aired on France 3 from September 22, 2006, to April 10, 2015.

Original series
Nickelodeon and Sesame Workshop created a company, Noggin LLC, to produce original content for their network in 1999. In 2002, Sesame Workshop sold its stake in Noggin LLC to Nickelodeon, but it continued to co-produce content for Noggin.

Sesame Workshop library
Reruns of series from Sesame Workshop's content library were shown as a staple of Noggin from 1999 to 2005. Two syndication packages of Sesame Street episodes, titled Sesame Street Unpaved and 123 Sesame Street, were created specifically by and for Noggin LLC.

The Big Garage
The Big Garage is a British-Canadian puppet children's television program that aired on The Learning Channel. It was produced by Prisma Productions in association with Winchester Entertainment and The Disney Channel. It debuted on TLC on September 29, 1997 within its Ready Set Learn children's block as a co-production with Canada's Family Channel. Aimed at preschool children, the show follows the adventures of a fleet of anthropomorphic taxicabs. Each episode has two short scenes. The first is about a stop sign called Stop, and the second is about a group of tools (a hammer, a saw, three spanners, some nuts and bolts, an oil can, and a pair of pliers).

Reruns aired on Playhouse Disney from 1998 to 2002, on Nick Jr. and Noggin from 2001 to 2005 and 2003 to 2006 respectively and on Smile (formerly called Smile of a Child) until 2019.

Main characters

 * London is a dark blue taxicab numbered 1. As his name suggests, he has a British accent and closely resembles a typical London taxicab, obviously in the United Kingdom. He is based on a 1960 Austin A40 Farina and is voiced by Terrence Scammell.
 * ZigZag is a purple taxicab numbered 2. She is the fastest taxicab on the show. Her overconfidence sometimes gets the better of her. She also shows feelings for London (which is hinted in the episode, Blow Your Own Horn where London gives her the present, she kisses him on the cheek). She is based on a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe and is voiced by Patricia Rodriguez.
 * Yorkie is a yellow taxicab numbered 3. He likes to be "cool" and speaks, true to his name, with a New York accent, and closely resembles a typical New York City taxicab. He is based on a 1957 American Ford Fairlane and is voiced by Rick Jones.
 * Mimi is a red taxicab numbered 4. She appears to be somewhat shy. Her hood ornament is made to resemble a pacifier in front of her grille to represent her as the youngest, or the baby, in the fleet. She is also the only taxicab with her name written on her, near her trunk. She is based on a 1969 Subaru 360 and is voiced by Liz MacRae.
 * Pump is an anthropomorphic (though stationary otherwise) gas pump outside the Big Garage. He's the mentor to the taxicabs (and occasionally Rusty), and he sings the opening theme song as well as other songs with the taxis. He is also the narrator of the series and is voiced by Thor Bishopric.
 * Rusty is a green tow truck which lives in a junkyard. It seems that in some episodes he is the gang's nemesis and their friend in others (a frenemy). He is also shown singing with the taxis and Pump, though he has never sung solo. He is based on a 1948 Chevrolet 3100 and is voiced by Rick Jones.
 * Scrap is an anthropomorphic compactor who is the gang's nemesis and usually observes the in-town proceedings from Scrapland through a handheld spyglass, trying to force the cabs to completely break down in order to have them towed to Scrapland so he can personally destroy them. He often tricks Rusty into doing his bidding, and breaks the fourth wall by expressing his annoyance at the song sequences the cabs perform. He is also the only main antagonist in the show, and is voiced by Terrence Scammell.

Other/Supporting/Recurring characters

 * Tooly is a small red toolbox with a handlebar moustache. He works with a group of mischief-loving wrenches called the Spanners (another term for wrench in Canada, the show's production base), who always seem to be running away from Tooly. Tooly is often seen chasing after them in almost every episode. He is voiced by Rick Jones.
 * Flash is a traffic light who keeps making up rules besides stopping on a red light. She is voiced by Liz MacRae.
 * Stop is a cartoon stop sign who loves to have fun, mostly by playing hopscotch, as we see in her introduction. She is voiced by Patricia Rodriguez.
 * There are some cartoon tools as well, including Hammer, Saw, the Bolts, the Nuts, Ruler, the Spanners, and Oil Can'. Pump narrates these segments as well.
