Go, Diego, Go! is an American children's animated television series that aired on
Nickelodeon from September 6, 2005[1][2] to September 16, 2011, with 80 episodes across five seasons. Created and executive produced by
Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes, the series is a
spin-off of the animated television series Dora the Explorer and follows Dora's cousin Diego, an 8-year-old boy whose adventures often involve rescuing animals and protecting the environment.[3][1] The series also aired in reruns on
Nick Jr. on CBS from September 17, 2005 to September 9, 2006.[4][5]
The series follows Diego, who helps animals in danger. His cousin is Dora from Dora the Explorer, who also appears in the series; prior to Go, Diego, Go!, Diego debuted in the Dora the Explorer episode "
Meet Diego!" and appeared throughout the series. In most episodes, Diego hears an animal's call for help at his rainforest Animal Rescue Center and sets out to rescue them. Like Dora the Explorer, the show teaches
Spanish, but it is not its primary purpose. Supporting characters include Diego's sisters Alicia and Daisy, his companion Baby Jaguar, Click, a camera that locates animals, and Rescue Pack, a messenger bag Diego wears that can transform into any object. The antagonists are the Bobo Brothers,
spider monkeys who, like Swiper in Dora the Explorer, cause mischief and can be stopped by shouting a phrase, which is "Freeze, Bobos!" However, unlike Swiper, they do not intentionally cause trouble.
Whenever a
carnivorouspredator is featured on the show, its diet is not mentioned, unlike with when
herbivores are shown. There are exceptions to this, including when an octopus is shown and discussed eating crabs, when a baby river dolphin eats the crabs heading toward a waterfall,[12] when Tuga, a leatherback sea turtle, eats jellyfish, and when Jorge, a hawk, eats grasshoppers, however, these prey are not anthropomorphised. As well, when a predator threatens a featured animal, they are described as being "afraid" of them.
