Explorers Wanted
When Dora the Explorer premiered on Nickelodeon US in August 2000, no one could have predicted that nearly 10 years after the fact new episodes would still be in production, and Dora's ground-breaking language curriculum would be helping more preschoolers learn English than Spanish in 140 territories around the globe. The series, in fact, has proved to be one of the network's biggest hits, and in creating a character that kids, particularly preschool girls, identify with and want to befriend, Nickelodeon also spawned an international consumer products star.
