  Noggin the Nog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noggin the Nog was a popular British children's television series originally shown by the BBC in the United Kingdom during the years 1959 to 1965.
Linguistically, the hero's name is from 'noggin', one of the very few surviving words of the ancient Celtic Brythonic language of pre-Roman Britain, which survives in the common phrase "use your noggin" (i.e.: 'use your head, think about a problem in order to solve it').
Various Noggin short stories were also published, and a visitor in one of them, Noggin and the Moon Mouse, later provided the basis for the characters in the popular Clangers TV series.

They left Noggin at the cave, which was a safe place because even the trolls would not come so close to their kind, and went out into the forest to do battle with the trolls and find, if they could, a path through the magic wood to lead their prince to safety.

 Master Molecule Forms Brains In Frogs And Elbows In Mice
The function of this protein, comically dubbed Noggin, is no laughing matter--scientists are now learning that Noggin appears to perform a vital role in the proper development of tissues in organisms ranging from frogs to humans.
The researchers found that mice lacking the Noggin protein possessed severe skeletal defects, not the least of which was the complete absence of limb joints.
Noggin thus permits what developmental biologists call a "default fate" to proceed as the body intended, resulting in the formation of the appropriate tissue in the appropriate place.

 SquareOneTV.org | Concerning Noggin
More than half of Noggin's Square One episodes are from the early 90s, the same time period that spawned Clarissa Explains it All, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and Ghostwriter, a few of Noggin's most popular programs.
First, Noggin was created to be an educational teaching resource -- the 24 hour Cable in the Classroom Channel, more or less -- that didn't have advertising, which meant that ratings would presumably have no effect on programming.
And, Noggin, just in case you're reading, please be aware that the Mathnet episodes that aired on Phred were not a fair sample of Sesame Workshop's Mathnet library, there are episodes with plenty of ACTION and SUSPENSE too.

Because CodeFab had an established relationship through the project, it was able to convince the Noggin team that it was as committed as Noggin was to making the project a success.
