Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle

My sons are 19 now and I attribute their love of music in part to watching the wiggles as toddlers. They wore the costumes, sang, danced and went to concerts. They sing and play several instruments now. Music is a big part of their daily lives and gives them (and me) much joy. (Barney was also a good influence!) Now I am a nanny and the children I keep love the new wiggles! I'm grateful that when nothing else works for fussy toddlers, The Wiggles can turn things around! Other shows are just a bunch of noise and annoying to me. A happy nanny helps make for happy children as well.

The blue wiggle isn't even singing in the recent eps! There's some kinda Milli Vanilli thing going on. The sing barbers are terrible to listen to and the constant bag pipes and Irish dancing are too much.... and I'm Irish! Hang it up Anthony, I'm tired of seeing your feet.

For a mother watching this show, it is no where near as good as Ready Steady Wiggle, which is far more entertaining. Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle is very messy. My 18mo also prefers Ready Steady Wiggle, there is far more to keep him interested than on Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle. As soon as Carnival of the Animals comes on, he wants me to change the show.

Shows are produced for the comprehension of the viewer. This show is made to appeal to toddlers. The lack of a lengthy story line or sketch is consistent with the attention span of toddlers. My then toddler son watched the old version and enjoyed it very much. My toddler granddaughter watches the current version and enjoys it very much. I know this because they are the intended audience and they stay tuned and follow along with the songs. Based on their write-up, perhaps shows which appeal to a child, are better suited for the previous reviewers.

My little one absolutely loves this show! She quite enjoys the dancing and tries to minic the wiggles, it is the only show that she will watch and interact with! Wish there were more episodes, but we are trying to find the old episodes.
