Yo Gabba Gabba! is an American children's television show currently airing on the Nick Jr. cable network in the United States and the Nick Jr. networks in the United Kingdom & Ireland, Italy and Australia as well as Treehouse TV network in Canada. Created by Christian Jacobs (lead singer of the Aquabats) and Scott Schultz, the program is produced by The Magic Store and Wildbrain Entertainment. The series premiered August 20, 2007 on Nick Jr. and began broadcasting February 23, 2008 on Noggin, now Nick Jr..
On April 30, 2008 the television show received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design/Styling.[1] Although "Yo Gabba Gabba" was created as a show for young children, it has slowly become a sensation among teenagers, college students and even some parents who are entertained by its retro style, bright colors, enjoyable story lines, and entertaining music performed by popular bands.
Overview
Hosted by a character named DJ Lance Rock, the series features a mix of live-action segments featuring cartoonish costumed characters - Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee and Plex - and many short animated sketches and musical numbers.[2]
In its first two seasons, the show featured a wide variety of guests, including Jack Black, Leslie Hall, The Shins, The Aggrolites, Andy Samberg, Cornelius, Biz Markie, Shiny Toy Guns, Supernova, Mark Mothersbaugh, Rahzel, The Postmarks, Sugarland, Tony Hawk, The Roots, Low, Laila Ali, Elijah Wood, Mýa, The Salteens, Sean Kingston and series co-creator Jacobs' band, The Aquabats. In the second season guests included such bands as Enon, The Clientele, Joy Zipper, Of Montreal, Chromeo, Hot Hot Heat, Mates of State, MGMT, and The Ting Tings.
Among the varied animation sequences during the show is Super Martian Robot Girl, designed by indie cartoonists Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer.[3]
The show also featured regular use of visuals reminiscent of retro video games and TV shows.
The toy models of the characters that appear at the beginning and end of each show were made by Kidrobot.
MP3 demos were available from an official Yo Gabba Gabba site as early as June 2006, before a network had picked up the show.
The world premiere live concert tour of Yo Gabba Gabba took place in Australia in May 2009. DJ Lance Rock, Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee and Plex performed in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney with an indie house-band and secret, special guests at each show. The concerts were produced by Australian promoter, Entertainment Store Group.
Taking Back Sunday recently filmed an episode for the upcoming season, as did "Weird Al" Yankovic, The Killers, The Roots, Weezer, and Devo.[4]
History
Unlike most educational children’s shows, Yo Gabba Gabba was not developed by network executives. Instead the show was developed by two Southern California fathers with no previous experience writing for television let alone children’s broadcasting. They simply shared a mutual disappointment in kids’ television. They both wanted to design a kids' show that was both educational and entertaining while featuring real artists and real performers. The pair first started working together as teenagers, producing and directing skateboarding videos.[5] After doing some odd jobs here and there, Jacobs and Schultz decided to try something different.
In 1999, after becoming parents themselves, the pair started playing around with ideas for children television. They later produced a pilot independently financed by small loans from friends and family. Even after producing the pilots, Yo Gabba Gabba did not get much attention until it started circulating on the internet. It happened to get viewed by Jared Hess, the director of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, who then phoned Brown Johnson, the executive vice president and executive creative director of Nickelodeon Preschool and told her to check it out.[6] As soon as she saw it she said, “Lordy nothing else looks like this on TV”.[citation needed] Yo Gabba Gabba finally found its home on Nickelodeon on August 20, 2007.

Characters
- DJ Lance Rock - A male DJ who is the narrator and a friend of the other characters.
- Muno - A male friendly red-orange cyclops. He's the tallest and is somewhat clumsy and he has a close bond with Foofa, whom he bit unintentionally in one episode. He is also the band's guitarist.

His realm is a mountainous/cavernous style area.
- Foofa - A cute female flower bubble character who's pink and happy. She loves rainbows and unicorns and can play the tambourine. She was once bitten by Muno. Her realm is a summer meadow.
- Brobee - A male little green monster. In one episode, he is tired of being short. Plex accidentally makes Brobee DJ Lance-size and Brobee soon finds that being big isn't very fun for him. He is the drummer for the Gabba band. He is the only "primary" character whose facial expression changes depending on what situation he is in, his normal smile turning into a frown, and vice-versa. He is often subjected to trying new foods. His realm is a vast forest. It is mentioned he is four years old in the series.
- Toodee - A blue female arctic cat-dragon who likes to have fun. She has a close bond with Brobee and is the bassist for the Gabba band. Her realm is an arctic realm, with icicles.
- Plex - A male magic yellow robot. He is portrayed as being smart and as the leader of Gabba Land. Plex usually teaches lessons to his friends and is a father figure to the gang. He can also use his special ray to bring things into existence. He can play the keytar. He has no realm in particular, though he seems to have a 'docking station' between Foofa and Brobee's realms. Plex sleeps and stands up in Gabba Land in the Episode "Sleep".
