Go, Diego, Go! is an American animated children's 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]
