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.

My 16 month old daughter loves this show! I was switching back and forth from Disney to Nickelodeon in the morning a few months ago and this was on. My daughter sat in front of the TV the whole time the show was on (which was rare at the time). I at first thought the show was stupid, but it's not about what I want to watch, it's about what my daughter is interested in. Yes, their songs are repetitive, and it's very colorful, and the characters are odd, but for most young children, that's what appeals to them. Every episode deals with an issue that young kids deal with like eating their vegetables and brushing their teeth and being scared of the dark. They just choose to do it in a different way then most kids shows address these issues. Personally, I'd rather have my daughter watch this show over most other shows out there nowadays geared towards young kids such as Sponge Bob and Total Drama Island. Sponge Bob teaches violence and I've seen on Total Drama Island two female characters talking about showing boys their breasts. I can't stand when 2pm rolls around and these type of shows are all that's on. We're trying to clean up our youth, but our youth gets corrupted by all these cartoons. At least Yo Gabba Gabba is a clean show that teaches children something other than violence and how to be sexual.

I have a six month old, a two year old and watch two other kids who are two and four. They absolutely enjoy Yo Gabba Gabba. The show is not for adults to like, its for children to learn and for their imaginations to be stimulated. Would I want to watch the show for my own entertainment? No. Nor would I want to watch Dora the Explorer, Diego, Wonder Pets, the Mighty B , Sesame Street and etc...But these programs are not for adults. However, we are supposed to recognize if the shows are helpful in our children's growth, and with each show I have mentioned ,I have noticed that each child picks up something positive. They are also learning and able to interact with Yo Gabba Gabba just like they do with the other shows. So as wild and goofy as it may be, it is doing its' job.

"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!!!!!!!!
