What Parents Need to Know
About Yo Gabba Gabba!
Parents need to know that this colorful preschool series highlights life lessons young viewers can relate to, like sharing, being a good friend, trying your best, and being polite. In short, there's nothing to worry about. The energetic puppet characters encourage kids to sing and dance along, and the series' pace and repetitive nature are well suited for 2- to 4-year-olds. All of that said, despite a roster of hip guest stars (like the Shins), some parents may not be quite as enchanted by the beat-driven soundtrack as their rockin'-out kids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the lessons the characters learn in each episode. Kids: What problems did the monsters encounter today? Did it affect one or all of the friends? How did they work through the problem? How did they work together to help each other?
- Have you ever experienced problems like the monsters'? What did you do? Who are the people you trust when you're in trouble? How do you try to be a good friend?

My 2-yr old's absolute favorite. Have over 20 episodes on DVR.
This may be the greatest show on television. My 2-yr old loves Foofa and Brobie more than food. The bands that appear as guests are starting to fill my iPod -- for me! The best thing about this show is that it teaches kids to look up to and respect people of all shapes, colors and sizes. Nicely multicultural. I hate to say, this is every morning's ritual...get woken up, turn on Yo, get myself ready for work...

2 year olds love it, great music and story segments...characters a little annoying
Although the character voices can be a bit over the top and annoying, the messages/themes are age appropriate and useful, the music is current and a great alternative to traditional kids music, the pace and nice, and the segments are fun. I especially like that it is only a 25 minute program. It makes it easier to shut off as opposed to sesame street that is also great but one hour.
