Yo Gabba Gabba!

I started watching kids' shows recently since my son turned 1 this summer. I LOVE Yo Gabba Gabba! It's happy, interesting, brightly-colored, hip, and teaches good lessons. So far it's the only kids' show I love -- Berenstain Bears bores me, Ni-Hao Kai-Lan is a little too precious, and The Wiggles drive me to a frantic search for the remote. (I actually got into a verbal altercation recently with a 2 1/2 year-old who objected to my strong dislike of The Wiggles.) Though Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends is okay, Spiderus's jerkiness notwithstanding, nothing holds a candle to Yo Gabba Gabba. I wish it was on right now.

"Hello!" "Lets break it down!!!!!!!!" I am a physician and I usually base my opinions on at least some scientific reasoning rather than completely subjective analysis..... I have to say that this show will appeal to very small children more than any other I have seen recently. This is an opinion, of course, but I have never seen any show capture the attention of a small child like this one. My son was born in July, and in September we were channel surfing and he caught a glimpse of Christian Jacobs' (Aquabats fame) and Scott Schultz' TV show, and he was transfixed instantly. We wondered if we were imagining things, so we would Tivo the shows and would turn them on during random points throughout the day and, honestly, he would stop his babbling, crying, cooing or whatever and watch, and I mean WATCH this show with intensity. He absolutely loves Lance Robertson and the PLEX and BROBEE characters. Here was a two and one half month old baby giggling and smiling while seeing these characters. Now that he is 5 months old I have to tell you that it is a favorite in our home, and NO OTHER TV SHOW anywhere on Nick or Noggin or any other cartoon anywhere else does this for him. I believe (opinion only here...) that it is the catchy beat of the show...very techno, awesome musicianship..., the smiling face of DJ Lance, the colorful characters PLEX, MUNO, FOOFA, BROBEE, and TOODIE, the funny drawings of Mark Mothersbaugh (former lead singer of Devo!) and the kind actions of the characters that our child is tuned in to. I can't wait until he understands what is actually going on, because the life lessons being taught here are better than in any other kids show I have ever seen. I have followed all of the kids shows over the years as I have several other older children, and I myself, would quickly get sick of all of the other shows due to the sickening songs being sung, the stupid babbling of the characters, the ridiculous costumes etc... This show is hip, sometimes retro, usually progressive, and is a fun quirky show and I have become a fan myself. I can't believe I just typed that! So give it a try if you have young children. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Christian and Scott for the best educational, fun, 'pacifier' I have ever seen!!!!!!!!

My daughter is 8 months old, so I am just now starting to introduce her to TV. I am gradually going through all the popular Noggin and PBS shows trying to find what works and what doesn't. YGG is very entertaining and so far I haven't seen anything on the show that made me wince. In my opinion, for her to learn "not to bite her friends" is more relevant/important than "learning to recycle". So many of these other show are focusing on being politically correct and I would rather see them learning their basic life skills. YGG appears very innocent and clear to understand. And my daughter loves DJ Lance Rock. It's fun to watch her so excited and I'm glad I don't have to worry about its content.

I am a mother of a 2 year old boy. He loves absolutely loves Yo Gabba Gabba. It is one of the only shows that he will sit and watch and actually understand the concepts in the show. I have yet to meet a child that is not loud so the show allows my son to play and dance and sing along and get out that extra energy in the morning. Parents need to understand that their child understands at different levels so what may seem boring and lame to them may not be for their child. This show is perfect for children 3 and under. I love this show and recommend the Bed time show for the parents who prefer more quieter shows. It settles my son down for nap time and bedtime. Works like a charm =)If you want a show that entertains your child and supports lessons you teach them about strangers, road danger, caring etc, then this is perfect and it will get your child involved and 'get the wiggles out.'

My son who just turned 2 Loves this show! He is completely mesmerized by it and will stop what ever he is doing and stare at the TV the entire duration of the show. He dances around and sings "Yo Gabba Gabba"! However, I was a little disappointed that there was no merchandise available to buy for his birthday. I understand that this is a relatively new show and I am hoping to see some merchandise soon. I know he would love to play with/wear merchandise from his favorite show. We hope to see many more seasons of this show. My son also enjoys Spongebob, Go Diego Go! and The Backyardigans which are all more popular and the stores are flooded with their merchandise, but Yo Gabba Gabba is by far his favorite.
