[[caption-width-right:350:"Hi! I'm Daniel Tiger! (Grr.)"]]

'''Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood''' is an animated children's series that began airing on September 3 on the PBSKids block of most {{PBS}} stations in the United States. The program is an animated spin-off of the beloved ''[[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]]'' and features the Daniel Tiger character first seen on that series, as well as some other familiar characters like Prince Tuesday. ''Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood'' was created by several of the creators of ''[[WesternAnimation/BluesClues Blue's Clues]]'' and is a production of their production company, Out of the Blue Enterprises. The series is animated in CGI, but uses AdobeFlash for its song segments and also features interstitials and songs with real kids.

''Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood'' is targeted at young audiences around the age of 2-4, rather than the wider target audience of ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'' and carries a focus on social development and emotions. Each installment features Daniel either at home, at one of his friend's houses, or at school with his friends. The show was made with the direct involvement of the Fred Rogers Company and [[http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/02/arts/television/daniel-tigers-neighborhood-in-mr-rogerss-tradition.html?pagewanted=all had been in development for six years after the company realized it could not survive without making a new show.]] Fred Rogers had considered grooming a replacement, but could never find someone suitable, and the creators decided not to include any character intended to represent a form of Rogers in the series for this reason. Despite this, the program contains many nods to the original show.

The program airs weekdays and is presented in widescreen HD where available.
