[8] [9] [10] [11] [7] Kriegman wrote and acted in Operation X segments for the PBS Series Alive from Off Center , which have been featured in the Walker Art Center and The Paley Center exhibits.

Notes:
  1. Kriegman was not associated with the Bill Nye the Science Guy program, IMDb misreports a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for the show.
  2. Various sources report that Kriegman has won four Daytime Emmy Awards, this was due to some confusion as to whom was included on the Win for Rugrats in the Outstanding Animated Program (1992) category. Kriegman's work on Rugrats was nominated for, Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program, in the same year.
