Go, Diego, Go!
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.. It aired on Nick Jr. on CBS on September 2005, then ended on September 9, 2006.
Go, Diego, Go! features a bilingual eight-year-old boy, Diego Marquez (voiced by child actor Jake Toranzo-Szymanski), who helps animals in danger, mainly in the rainforest. He has a jaguar companion named "Baby Jaguar" who sometimes assists him on adventures.
Diego is Dora the Explorer's cousin; Dora makes several guest appearances in the series. He also has an 11-year-old sister named Alicia (voiced by child actress Constanza Sperakis). Alicia, also bilingual, is a computer whiz.
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. Like his cousin, 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.
In each episode of Go, Diego, Go! there are several songs and uses of Spanish vocabulary. Research shows that Go, Diego, Go! helps children learn Spanish more easily. [citation needed]

Theme Song
Go, Diego, go!
Deep inside a jungle with adventures that are wild,
Coming to the rescue is a very special child.
Talking to the animals and swinging from a vine,
This rough and tough adventurer is working all the time.
Diego, Diego
Diego,
Go, Diego, go!
Alicia's on a mission. We are going for a ride.
Diego's on the road with Baby Jaguar by his side.
Discovering together yeah we're always having fun;
Helping out each other, it's good for everyone.
Diego, Diego
Diego,
Go, Diego, go!
