YO GABBA GABBA! Now On DVD! Now On CD! And New Episodes Premiere Next Week!
 |
Nickelodeon has just released its first YO GABBA GABBA!™ DVD, The Dancey Dance Bunch ($16.99). If you can’t get enough of the weird and wacky live action show, or if you don’t get Nickelodeon and have missed out on this unique show, here’s your chance! Hosted by DJ Lance Rock (who is a real DJ not just an actor) and starring offbeat but kid-friendly life-size puppets, kids can learn about simple concepts like friends, eat, dancing and being happy. Coincidentally, the DVD’s four episodes are titled "Friends," "Eat," "Dance" and "Happy."
With guest appearances from celebs that only mom and dad will recognize like Mya and Elijah Wood and Hector Jimenez, this is one of those kids shows that parents can enjoy too. Check out the videos on the website.
PLUS they just released an album of favorite songs including the supremely awesome "Party In My Tummy" available only on iTunes. The other 12 tracks feature tunes from the series’ first and second seasons from The Ting Tings, The Roots and Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon and The Red House Painters. Additionally, Hip Hop legend Biz Markie lends his talent on the unique “Biz’s Beat of the Day” segment.
If you do get Nickelodeon, be sure to tune in next week when the new season premieres. The lineup includes:
- Monday, Oct. 20 – "Weather" featuring 30 Rock’s Jack McBrayer, Paul Scheer, Paul Williams
- Tuesday, Oct. 21 – "Differences" featuring I’m From Barcelona, Mark Mothersbaugh
- Wednesday, Oct. 22 – "Robot" featuring Rhys Darby, Money Mark, Mark Mothersbaugh

I think I like it more than my daughter! Its weird, but fun. I love the character clothing they put on the kids on the show, but they don’t sell them.

My family LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba. I can’t wait for the new episodes next week. The songs are infectious and I can’t get enough of the music remixes at the end of the show. It’s totally Genius!!!!

We love Yo Gabba Gabba! It is the only show my 18 month old will watch, I like it because he is up and dancing almost the whole time instead of vegging out in front of the tv and he just loves to dance.

Like does not even begin to describe my 4 year old’s obsession with it. I am not much for kids shows but if I had to sit and watch with him I prefer this to any of the other shows he likes. Can’t wait to see Jack McBrayer on Monday!

well its currently on here in the Uk at 7.30am. And neither of the boys are paying much attention to it! They are only 7m and 2yr but you should see the attention peppa pig gets!

My daughter absolutely LOVES this show!! At first I couldn’t stand watching it because it was just plain weird but it grew on me. They sell toy microphones of the characters, Muno guitar, Gabba dance mat and all the plush characters and even ones that talk and sing at Target and Toys R US. My daughter has definitly learned a lot from the shows corkey ways but its cute and fun.

Oh yea, forgot to say that they dont sell the clothing but on nickelodeon.com-under noggin.. you can go onto their free printables. There they have all the Gabba friends faces so you can print them out on iron-on paper to make your own shirts and outfits like on the show.

Janel – Can you really say that yo gabba gabba is weirder than Doodlebops? THAT show freaks me out – yikes!
I enjoy Yo Gabba Gabba, they feature some of my favorite bands – like Mates of State were on recently.

My kids LOVE yo gabba gabba! We all like to sing along to some of their songs. Sometimes I even catch them singing a song especially when the occasion calls for it “inside voice quiet, inside voice shhhhh..” lol

my daughter loves it. I have been waiting for a music CD. I can’t wait to put it on in the car when I pick her up from school.

I’m 24 with NO children and I loooooove Yo Gabba Gabba! It might be the punk in me. Biz’s Beat of the Day? Mark Mothersbaugh drawing houses, cats, apples? The Aggrolites singing the “Banana Song”? Let’s be real here…does it get any better?

MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS A PARTY IN THEIR TUMMY!!!
My son has no interest in talking at 20months, but when Yo Gabba Gabba is on he just lights up and sings all the songs with the whole Gabba crew!
I remember Electric Company, and Zoom, Yo Gabba Gabba is the Electric Company, Zoom for this generations pre-school set!

I have seen it so many times since Friday, it is Sunday. I have it memorized.But I must admit I love it myself. The music is amazing.
