Yo Gabba Gabba! is a children's television series starring five costumed toys come-to-life and their friend DJ Lance Rock. It is co-produced by Magic Store Productions and WildBrain. Its first episode premiered on Nickelodeon on August 20, 2007, as a part of its Nick Jr. block. The last episode premiered on November 12, 2015.
A single topic is addressed in each episode (such as "Adventure", "Friends", or "Dance") through songs and short storylines. Additionally, the show teaches children life and social skills, such as sharing and trying different foods. It also encourages viewers to move along with and dance with the characters in the program. The show is noted for its indie-culture guest stars and bands, and for drawing visual inspiration from 8-bit video games and H.R. Pufnstuf, among other television shows. Created by Christian Jacobs (lead singer of the Aquabats) and Scott Schultz, the show's learning process has parents, older siblings, and younger children watch the show together rather than letting it act as a babysitter. The television program spawned a touring live stage show, several toys, and branded clothing.
On September 10, 2021, WildBrain announced that the series would be revived for 20 new episodes, which will be produced in collaboration between WildBrain and Yo Gabba Gabba LLC (the co-owners of the Yo Gabba Gabba! brand).[4] The new episodes will premiere on Apple TV+, which also acquired the previous episodes and specials for its service.
the series features live-action segments featuring 5 toys: Muno (a red cyclops), Foofa (a pink flower-bubble), Brobee (a green monster), Toodee (a blue cat/dragon), and Plex (a yellow robot). In between the main segments are many short animated sketches and songs.
The show ran for four seasons from 2007-2015 with the show wrapping production in 2011. According to DJ Lance Rock, Yo Gabba Gabba was cancelled because Nickelodeon wanted rights to the show and Christian Jacobs did not want changes made to his masterpiece if he gave the rights of the show away.
