I'm subjected to a lot of children's programming and this is one of the few tolerable shows on Noggin. I'm not quite sure why some people think the music is bad, I find it quite catchy and well written. It sure beats that purple dinosaur's songs and even my hometown hero Mr. Roger's music.I refused to watch it at first and brushed it off as just another excruciatingly bad kid show but the infectious songs and good lessons rubbed off on me. Beats Little Bill, Oswald and most of the other Noggin lineup. This is the kind of show that would get canceled just because people don't tend to like things that are different. Here's to hoping it stays for a while. At least until my kids get a little older.

I found out about this show through an online parent forum called Babble.com They are a fairly new site that speaks to the artsy professional parents of today. They featured an article about Mark Mothersbaugh's work on a kids show called Yo Gabba Gabba that peaked my interest(Hubby and I are huge Devo fans.) One episode and we were hooked. Oh by the way our 9 month old loves it to. It has everything- Life lessons, good beats, retro graphics and great celeb participation. The only kids show on TV worth watching. I'm prepping my little man for the "I like to dance" audition. Its his life long dream. Yooooooooo Gabba Gabba!

Yo Gabba Gabba is fun and educational. The songs are catchy, and teach lessons that need to be learned. It is brightly colored, and there are themes and it makes it fun and exciting for children of a certain age. And anything that gets kids off the couch and learning at the same time while being fun will always get my vote.The producers are musicians and incorporate music into every show. My 7 month old looks forward to the show and will actively try to watch it. He and I dance to the songs and for half an hour he can't tear his eyes away from the TV. Obviously it's not a substitute for education, but it is a fun way to spend half an hour.I can't wait until the DVDs come out!

"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!!!!!!!!
