Nick Jr.’s Yo Gabba Gabba Show for Pre-K Kids
We recently received the premier (pilot) episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, the new show for preschoolers, from Nick Jr. to check out and review. The episode we were sent was “eat” which premieres on Nick Jr. on August 20th, 2007. Check your local tv listings for times.
Yo Gabba Gabba is a fun, upbeat and colorful cartoon that is sure to please the age group that it is marketed to. The music is great and the lessons learned are even better. In the first episode, “Eat” , kids learn that eating healthy foods are fun all the while dancing and hopping around to the music!
Overall our music lovin’ 3 year old enjoys the show and we look forward to watching the upcoming episodes together. This mom gives Yo Gabba Gabba a 4 thumbs up!
In addition, parents can print off Yo Gabba Gabba coloring pages, activities and even make Yo Gabba Gabba monster masks at the NickJr.com Yo Gabba Gabba Activities center online.

My four year old is already hooked, and the show hasn’t even started yet! She loves the previews.
This show is complete and utter trash.
I can’t believe that ABC child TV programmers could be so ignorant of the music guide lines recommended by reputable Child Music organisations such as Kodaly Music education, Carl Orff Schulwerk, Musik Garten etc- which would all be horrified at the targeting of the youngest listeners with this appallingly tasteless, loud, obnoxious and culturally degenerated rubbish.
An interesting musical laboratory experiment was recently done: two groups of mice were assigned the same task of finding their way through a maze.
The first group was subjected to simple classical music (10 hours a day over a week), the second to acid pop à la “Yo Gabba” (also 10 hours a day over a week).
After a week, the “classical group” was 20 minutes faster. The “acid pop” group was not only 30 min slower than at the start, they had resorted to cannibalism before reaching the end of their task.
“Yo Gabba Gabba” adds acid pop accompaniment to nursery songs. Need I say more? It promotes aggression ans is totally unsuitable for this most vulnerable age group.
