Me and My Friends is a lost Nick Jr. pilot that was taped at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida in September 1998. It is unknown why it wasn't greenlit by Nickelodeon. In 2004, it was picked up as the CGI animated series, The Backyardigans.

The only characters from The Backyardigans who appear in Me and My Friends are Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, and Tasha. Austin, the purple kangaroo, is absent. Some say that this may be the reason why he was referred to as "the new kangaroo on the block" by Nickelodeon.

The characters' appearances aren't vastly different from that of the CGI series, besides a few minor differences:

  • Pablo's propeller is yellow, as apposed to red.
  • Uniqua has visible nostrils.
  • Tasha and Tyrone's nostrils are black instead of dark yellow and dark orange. These were utilized as vision areas.
  • Tyrone's shirt has yellow/blue stripes rather than red/blue stripes.


The only known footage of Me and My Friends online is in a 5 minute compilation video created by former crew members of Nickelodeon Studios for it's 10 year anniversary in 2000. There is around 3 seconds of video without the original audio. There is very little information about this pilot available, and whether or not Nickelodeon still has this remains unconfirmed.
