The Noggin channel was mostly known for its original series and for playing reruns from Nickelodeon and Sesame Workshop's archive libraries. However, the channel also aired acquired series: shows from other companies that Noggin didn't produce. Most of these shows were originally acquired by the main Nickelodeon channel and were replayed on Noggin. Since Noggin LLC did not own the shows outright, many acquired shows stopped airing on Noggin after Nickelodeon's broadcast rights expired.
This page is a list of Noggin's acquired shows. There were almost 50 of them shown on the channel. All images are from Noggin airings or promotions for the shows.
Daytime block[]
These acquired shows aired during the daytime block. From 1999 to 2002, the block was aimed at a general audience of kids aged 2-12. From 2002 onward, it was only aimed at preschoolers.

Notes[]
- Miffy and Friends, Tweenies, Connie the Cow, Pinky Dinky Doo and Degrassi were all given "Noggin/The N Original" ending cards when they aired on Noggin. In this case, this signified how they were acquired specially for Noggin, rather than for both Nickelodeon and Noggin and were also made as Noggin Originals for the US/UK countries only. These shows were not originally made by or for Noggin, and they are fully owned by outside companies. Airings of these three shows on all other networks don't include any mention of Noggin. Maisy is one of these, but did not to have the Noggin Original logo at the end after airings on the channel, making this the only acquired archive show from the channel not to do that.
- You will see how this show was made as an original the US just by looking in the copyright on the back covers of the DVDs Good Morning Maisy Goodnight Maisy and Play Time Maisy mentioning Noggin LLC in it.
- This maybe because if Noggin was the main broadcaster for these shows in those countries, both British or American viewers would not notice at first that they are made originally and owned by outside companies.
