URL With Phred is the spin-off series of The Phred on Your Head Show that aired on Noggin (now Nick Jr) from September 10, 2001 until March 31, 2002. One of the notable differences in detail is that Head's dot (in Noggin.com) was cut out pictures and the "outside" of the dot was colorful. In URL, Phred's dot looks hand-drawn and the outside of the dot is mostly blue.

Vignettes

Introduction to Doug

Phred would lead Doug with a certain introduction (i.e. Phred reading his cue cards and stopping between certain points because a fly was on the card).

Doug

A complete 30-minute episode of Doug would play.

During Commercial Breaks

Noggin.com's high scores for certain games would air. As well as "Dress Phred", another game from Noggin.com in which the user picks the clothing of their choice and puts it on the image of Phred. Others included:

Skengle and Skengle

Two creatures, a blue one with a big head, one eye, and a small body, and a small green one with a pink bow on her head, both named "Skengle" They would occainsionally put "-icus" next to some words in their sentences. They would answer polls the user put up at Noggin.com.

Noggimation

An online animated "patch" would play. It was created by the user who went to Noggin.com.

Others

There were other shorts between shows. One example is when the female director had to get Phred moving, but realized that it was a cardboard cut-out of Phred.

Introduction to Cro

Phred would host another skit leading to that episode's episode of Cro.

Cro

A complete 30-minute episode of Cro would play, and during commercial breaks, the results of Skengle and Skengle would play.

Closing

After Cro, we return to Phred who does the closing (i.e. Big Voice getting instant messenger and annoying Phred and Phred accidentally letting a virus go into the computer). After the skit finishes, a female computer voice says "It is now safe to sign off the URL with Phred Show." as a window appears on the screen.
