Yo! Gabba Gabba = Yo love it love it

Now, I’m known for my love of kids shows, from the Muppets to the Tick, but I haven’t fell in love with a new one in quite a while. About a month ago, I was introduced to “What the Kids Are Watching” on The Soup to a new show:

Which prompted me to seek it out on my DVR, despite only remembering that it had a name like Yabba Dabba Do or Gamma Go or Yo MTV Raps. At first, my blog co-author made fun of me for taping it, but after one episode, he realized that I was a gabba genius for recording gems like this:

Carrots want to go the party in Brobee’s tummy! Who wouldn’t??? Toby wants in on the Brobee party!
More research found that the music is so good cause it’s written by real bands — and I love how the show gets kids to move (there is a whole subsection on YouTube of kids dancing in front of this show) and go crazy. It also teaches important lessons like don’t bite your friends, how to draw a cat, that picking up your room is fun to a reggae beat, or how to beatbox.

So seriously, check out Yo Gabba Gabba. It is the one reason to turn to Nick Jr if you are over 13. Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for me to Dancey dance.

    let’s face it, the music is great, the message is good, and the support from the various arists, actors, and the people on the net seem to point to the fact that this show is great and it’s here to stay.

    Man, I wish I were babysitting again so I’d at least have an excuse to watch the show.

    This show seems to promote not chewing your food. Those were whole carrots and beans (and chicken, etc.) in Brobee’s tummy! Yo Gabba Gabba is a choking hazard!

    Laura: Who needs an excuse?

    Amanada: Brobee doesn’t have teeth. Please cut him some slack.
