Yo Gabba Gabba!: New Friends

With three kids under five years old, it can become difficult to find programming that they will enjoy and also avoids driving you insanity. They go through phases, and we have been through some particularly grating phases such as Barney and Max and Ruby. The younger two aren't quite ready for the tolerable and even enjoyable Spongebob. Thankfully on a whim, we put on Yo Gabba Gabba after seeing one of my favorite bands were a guest on the show. We were incredibly impressed with the show as it manages to not be annoying! The kids love it, there are a lot of great guest stars and bands, and the music is genuinely catchy! On to this particular set. Most YGG dvds contain four episodes for about an hour and a half of programming. Three of these episodes are standard fare, nothing great. The first episode "New Friends" however might be the best episode that I have seen. Featuring Jack Black as a guest star, who fits in perfectly with the vibe of the show and adds a nice dynamic. His guest spot is unusual, most are limited to showing a simple dance or playing one song, but Jack is featured throughout the whole episode as he finds himself lost in Gabba land. In summary, I love this show and in particular this episode. This set doesn't have quite as much bang for your buck as the three pack, but is a worthwhile purchase no less for fans of the show, or parents who are looking for something that will not make you crazy.

I decided to get the DVD because my 7month old was glued to it while at Grandma's. I now own 3 of them. This is the funniest of all of them & my entire family-myself, my husband, 14yr old, 10yr old, & 7mth old all have watched the DVD's numerous times. We love music & Yo Gabba definitely delivers there! The songs are fun & catchy, not annoying like some tot show music can be. The songs deliver messages to your tots like "don't bite your friends!" & "You can't always get what you want". I would reccomend this to anyone looking for an educational, musical tot show that they can enjoy with there children!

Got to love Yo Gabba Gabba well at least my duaghter does:) I fund this show to be annoying at first but then I grew to like it and watch it with my daughter which seriously 4 or 5 times a day. It' the ONLY thing that calms her down when she is upset and also makes her laugh and dances to. It's such a great show for toddlers and a miracle for parents:) Her fav is the one with Jac Black in it:) He sooooo funny love him. She also loves Mini bike which is his bike he rides. Who ever thought he would be on a childrens show but it works perfect for that guy since he is a kid himself LOL!!!

My 20 month old son is obcessed with Yo Gabba and the Jack Black episode from this DVD is by far his favortie episode! He loves the songs like the friends one, good by song, and the lost song. I personally love singing the song "You can't always get what you want" when my kids are not taking no for an answer. My son also loves the Disco Roll that Jack Black teaches during dancey dance time. He does this dance randomly all the time! I have come to the conclusion for most kid shows that I only need to own one dvd of the series and my kids are satisfied! However, for Yo Gabba I NEED to buy all the DVDs because as well as my kids loving them I really like a lot of the songs too and need to buy the DVDs! Now if only the episode "Sleep" was on a DVD! Buy this for any Yo Gabba fan and you will not be dissapointed! Also if you have a kid who LOVES music/dance this is the show for them!! This show was the 1st music that got my son moving to music at 9 months.

Let me start this by saying I'm not the biggest fan of Jack Black most of the time but I absolutely love him in this episode! This is the best episode of Yo Gabba Gabba by far! I can't help but watch it every time it comes on. My daughter 20 months loves saying hi to Jack and loves singing and dancing. This show has made strides with my daughter's communication skills. She has learned a lot of new words. It took only a couple of months to know all the names of each character. This is the only show she watches and asks for it by name all the time. I thought this show was annoying at first but has grown to love it! I also recommend buying the soundtrack too!

My 2 year old son LIVES for this DVD. I need help cleaning up toys, I say "let's clean up so we can watch Yo Gabba Gabba!". Instantly he's picking up toys yelling "yo yo!". The 1st time you see these crazy characters you think, what am I watching? Trust me, you will learn to love them & even find yourself singing the tunes. There are guest appearances on most shows, but Jack Black rocks! He's like a big kid himself, I get a kick out of seeing him dance around w/ DJ Lance even though Ive seen it a million times. Even though this DVD seems like it was made for stoners, its completely harmless fun for your little person. Your kids will beg to watch this & if you have any appreciation for pop culture or music, you'll enjoy it too!

WOW!!! My baby loves Yo Gabba Gabba! and this DVDis a life-saver, if you need 5 minutes off (to got to the bathroom) (to cook) whatever, this dvd will make it easier. As soon as I put it on I get a minibreak to do whateverI have to do....its fun, it includes a couple of episodes, plus the Jack Black episode is the best episode so far, I love it! Baby loves it! I highly recommend it.

My son loves Yo Gabba Gabba so I bought this to add to the collection. Usually you would not find me saying anything but good about this show but there are 2 things I think should be pointed out for potential buyers. One is the episode New Friends stars Jack Black. Don't get me wrong, I love Jack Black. He is funny and I like him in this episode, but it is a deviation from the normal Yo Gabba Gabba show structure to pretty much have the whole episode showing steadily one guest star. This episode is all about Jack Black. If you are not a fan of his, you probably won't like this episode. The other thing I feel should be known is there is a segment where a child says "My name is Juliet. I like to dance." and she proceeds to dance her dancey dance I guess it is. If I had seen this before purchase I would not have bought this dvd because this little girl is in ill fitting clothes and she gyrates her hips and licks her lips. I am not a prude or a person who reads or sees innuendo where it is not and I am all for kids having fun, dancing, ect, but this particular girl (acting/presented in this manner) in my opinion should NOT be in any kid's movie or show. I was shocked and I had to rewind and watch it again to see if I was just over-reacting. NOPE! I even showed it to a friend who was like what the heck would that be allowed in a kid's show for? I feel sorry for this girl, really and ashamed for her and her parents. If that seems like something that would bother you or you would find inappropriate for your children to watch then you probably don't want to buy this dvd either. I almost hesitated to explain exactly what I thought was questionable because of some creep reading this and buying it just to see that but I know I wish I had known about it. I wish I could just erase that little bit off this dvd. Can the publishers remove this from the dvd? I know you can't from ones already sold but from future ones this should be edited out. I know they have bikinis for little girls and all kinds of stuff and it seems like there are other parents out there who try to keep this kind of thing from their kids (especially the age of kids who watch this show) so I hope this helps you to make a good decision for your family. At least preview the dvd before you let your kids watch it on their own.

Our girls love Yo Gabba Gabba! I love the retro feel to the show and the music is AWESOME! ;o)

THE GRANCHILDREN LOVE IT, THEY WATCH IT ALL THE TIME & DANCE ALONG TO IT, VERY GOOD ENTERTAINMENT FOR THEM

Omg this is so awesome!!! My kids absolutely love it.

Although the characters are odd looking it is quite easy to laugh at the characters and songs. Very catchy songs that make you smile! Great to teach your kids about making new friends!

Awesome
