He was later the music director for all four seasons of the Nick Jr. series The Backyardigans, which features a different musical genre in every episode. In 2011, Lurie composed an unused song for Nickelodeon's Winx Club (a show that many other Backyardigans crew members worked on, including creator Janice Burgess).

Other notable productions he has written music for include Joe Gould's Secret (2000) and Steve Buscemi's Trees Lounge (1996).
