Time Travel Tuesday is Taking the Day Off

Today is usually Time Travel Tuesday, but I'm taking my kids to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live, so today is Yo Gabba Gabba day.

What is Yo Gabba Gabba, you ask?

Besides the bane of my existence, Yo Gabba Gabba is a super-popular children's show. It's packed with star power and has had special guests like Jack Black, Andy Samberg, The Roots, Sarah Silverman and Snoop Dogg. They have one of the guys from Devo on regularly, which is way cool. Check out a video clip starring Mos Def as Super Mr. Superhero.



This show also teaches kids important lessons. They learn not to eat dirty food, that it's great to be yourself, to never say mean things to friends and to avoid biting, among other things. Sometimes it takes a super colorful show full of phat beats and celebrity appearances to teach kids life lessons.



I end up hearing and/or watching at least 8 episodes of this show per day. My kids both love it, but my daughter is particularly obsessed. It's the first thing she asks for when she wakes up. If she sees a TV, she's talking about Gabba. And don't even think of saying any part of the title around her. She lives for this show. Take a look at my little Gabba monsters getting ready for the show.

Here's the two of them...

My daughter's not a big fan of getting her picture taken.

If you have pre-schoolers, and you don't mind them becoming obsessed with something that becomes mildly annoying for grown-ups in no time, then Yo Gabba Gabba is the way to go. I'll leave you with one of the Gabba crew's most popular songs.
