Go, Diego, Go!, an animated series for preschool-aged children, is a spin-off of Dora the Explorer. The show premiered on September 6, 2005 on Nick Jr. on CBS and ended its run on September 9, 2006. On December 20, 2006 Nick Jr. announced that it had ordered twenty new episodes that were in production.

Setting

The show features a bilingual, eight-year-old boy, Diego Márquez (voiced by child actor Jake Toranzo-Szymanski - credited in newer series as Jake T. Austin), who helps animals in danger, mainly in the rainforest. He has a jaguar companion named "Baby Jaguar" who assists him on adventures.

Diego is Dora's older cousin; Dora makes several guest appearances in the series. Diego’s 11-year-old sister, Alicia (voiced by child actress Constanza Sperakis), is a computer whiz and also bilingual, directs the animal rescue calls that come into the center. She also assists Diego in helping the animals they love. Alicia is responsible and kind-hearted, and always kind to her little brother.

In most episodes, Diego hears an animal's cry for help at his rainforest Animal Rescue Center. With help from his friends, gadgets, and viewers at home, he sets out to rescue the animal. Other characters include Click (voiced by Rosie Perez), a camera that locates the animal calling for help; Rescue Pack, a messenger bag Diego wears that can transform into any object; and the Bobo Brothers, two troublesome spider monkeys. There are a few recurring animal friends that are normally rescued by Diego in their first appearance but appear later to return the favor and help Diego out, the most common of these is Linda the Llama who has appeared prominently in four episodes and made a cameo appearance in "Three Little Condors". Just like Dora the Explorer, the show teaches preschool-age children the Spanish language. However, the show takes a lesser approach to this and focuses more on the teaching of various animals.

Diego is featured in a one-hour episode titled "The Great Dinosaur Rescue" where he, Alicia, Dora, and Baby Jaguar go back in time to save a dinosaur; Nick Jr. has yet to show this episode. However it was featured on Nick Jr Australia in August 2007 and has had several re-runs as half hour segments. Two additional one-hour episodes are in production.

Diego also will be staring in a live show called "The Great Jaguar Rescue" where he must save Baby Jaguar, this is also the premise of an episode of the show which aired on January 15, 2007 and was released on DVD on January 16, 2007.

In each episode of Go, Diego, Go! there are several songs and uses of Spanish vocabulary.

Whenever Diego is on a mission, he is often bothered by the "The Bobo Brothers". Nothing spells trouble like a couple of mischievous spider monkeys. The Bobo Brothers are always engaged in silly monkey business and often get in the way of rescue missions.

The Bobo Brothers can be stopped by shouting "Freeze Bobos!" and Diego often encourages viewers to help him stop them by shouting it.

Controversy

As with most shows, "Go, Diego Go!" has had its share of controversy. In 2006 the show came under fire for showing him jumping across a river to rescue an animal. This supposedly encouraged children to risk their lives. Members of the Nick Jr. community have also criticized "Three Little Condors" for the scene where a condor raised the sun.

Trivia

  • Whenever a predator comes, Diego describes the target animal as being 'afraid' of the predator; instead of stating that the predator is trying to kill or eat the target animal. This is most likely due to the target age of the audience for this show.
  • Alicia must be older than 11 because she drives. In the opening song "Alicia's on a mission we're all going for a ride..." Alicia is driving a jeep. However since the country of residence is not stated they may live in a country where children under 16 can learn to drive.
  • Baby Jaguar was unable to speak in Dora but is able to in this show. Though this may just be due to Diego's ability to speak to animals and not him having learned to talk.
  • The Bobo Brothers frequently cause trouble for Diego like Swiper does for Dora. However, unlike Swiper, they do not do it on purpose and apologize afterward. The exception to this is in the "Great Jaguar Rescue" when they steal Baby Jaguar's growl on purpose.
  • While Diego talks about the diet of herbivores (such as marmosets), he never mentions the diet of most predators (such as anacondas). This is most likely due to the target age of the audience.
  • For unknown reasons, whenever Dora makes a guest appearance, Boots is not with her.
