Just Odd

So I've been thinking about various morning/afternoon children's shows that my kids watch or want to watch lately. There are some shows I don't mind my kids watching, some I don't let them watch and then others I'm just not sure about. One that is almost too weird for words is Yo Gabba Gabba that comes on Nicklelodeon. If you've never seen this show, it's like a bunch of alien/dinosaur muppets dancing around and trying to promote life lessons. It is just so weird. This must be what your world would be like if you were on an LSD or ecstasy trip. Whoa, man. It's just so over the top. It's one of those shows that I want to find a reason not to like it, but I really just can't, other than it being so odd. I mean, bring back Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner. They didn't have much of a message or a moral, but gosh they were funny. Anyway, Yo Gabba Gabba encourages kids to eat their food, to try to make new friends, to not bite your friends, etc. There is a song they sing that goes, "Don't, don't, don't bite your friends." They encourage you to bite your food but not your friends. Interesting tip. And to think someone out there actually got paid to come up with a song like this. If you've heard this song I bet it took all of about 30 seconds. There's one more song that I had to leave that I found on You Tube. It pretty much encapsulates all that is weird about this show. The green creature, Brobee, is eating his food singing There's a Party in My Tummy but doesn't eat the carrots and green beans. The beans and carrots get sad and want to go to the party. Shall I go on. Watch the clip and check it out, potheads! ;)
