Doc McStuffins has acquired a large number of young viewers in its first season on the air. According to adage.com, “Doc McStuffins” has even surpassed “Dora the Explorer ” in the number of viewers in the age group 2 to 5 years old. This is a huge accomplishment for the animated television series that airs on the newly formed Disney Junior television stations. For years “Dora the Explorer” had a steady hold on that young age group, but it seems as though “Doc McStuffins” has been able to be a strong competitor. “Dora the Explorer” airs on the Nickelodeon stations throughout the week and has been around for 12 years and is still a favorite among preschoolers. Although the “Dora the Explorer” has lost the top spot that does mean the programming is going anyway. Nickelodeon continues to have a strong amount of viewers. We will have to see the long-term results that will happen over time. One thing we can say is that Dora and Doc McStuffins are great characters for children to watch on television, and there is definitely enough room for both of them
