My one-year-old kid adores this program! Every episode, I appreciate how it teaches him things in a lighthearted manner. I really enjoy how it emphasizes innovation and uniqueness. What I like most about it is that it is outside of the norm for children's programming. Most are too fluffy and bland for me to watch over and over again. This one is certainly out of the ordinary. Typically, the visitors are alternative music groups or indie cinema artists. One of the oddest and most amusing episodes revolved solely on Jack Black, who seems to be a fan of the program. True, the outfits and effects are low-tech, but I could obtain them anyplace if they were essential to me. The bright colors, engaging music, and positive sentiments more than make up for what it lacks. And I'm a sucker for oddities:)
You and your youngster will also have a good time picking out various Yo Gabba Gabba! characters for the party invites. Print out photos from your computer and let your child to color them in. If she's old enough, have her write the party details on the back of each invitation or type them up in a document that you can then print over your picture printouts. The invitations will set the tone for the party and get people pumped and ready to go!
At first, I didn't enjoy Gabba Gabba. It wasn't like the programs I used to watch as a youngster, but then then, none are these days. I'm 65 years old, and I went to Ding Dong School and the old Mickey Mouse Club. My two-year-old granddaughter, on the other hand, adores this program. She sings the tunes, enjoys the dancy dance routines, and follows the plot lines. The characters are quite similar to their human counterparts, and the youngsters appear to understand this. It will not upset me to watch Ruby in her twenties reminiscing about this performance.
