Nick Jr.’s Emmy nominated show Yo Gabba Gabba! will be returning for its third season on Mar. 8th at 10:30 am. The show, which has a following of toddlers, teens, and adults alike, has been a huge success for Nick Jr. Yo Gabba Gabba! is rich in the arts and makes the imagination work. The show takes place in a fictional world called Gabbaland, following the daily adventures of characters Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee, and Plex. Hosted by a character named DJ Lance Rock, the show features retro style graphics and costumes, and catchy tunes that teach kids life lessons about sharing, sleeping, eating healthfully, and being nice to everyone.
The show’s appeal to families is apparent: it gets kids off the couch and involved in the show, dancing and imagining. A regular segment on the show, called Dancey Dance Time, teaches kids how to do silly dances like the Jumpin’ Jellyfish and the Peanut Butter Stomp. Yo Gabba Gabba! introduces kids to different dancing styles and musical instruments.
Another segment, called The Super Music Friends Show, features well known artists playing a concert for their Gabbaland friends. Yo Gabba Gabba! also has a drawing segment, where artist Mark Mothersbaugh teaches kids how to draw.
Guest stars on Yo Gabba Gabba! have included Mya, The Roots, Of Montreal, Elijah Wood, Biz Markie, The Saltines, MGMT, and many more. The third season promises to entertain – look for stars like Weird Al, Anthony Bourdain, Weezer, Devo, Flaming Lips, and Mos Def.

The state of movies today may seem dismal, but I believe that there is a silver lining. With movies such as Superhero Movie, Epic Movie and the Scary Movie series, it seems as if Hollywood is going under.
