Honestly I had no idea what Yo Gabba Gabba was before today, other than a kids’ show. By name and appearance alone — just because the Con has taught me to judge everyone and everything this way from now on out – it looked like little else than a lamer version of SpongeBob or something. It was almost like the SpongeBob characters had been crossed with the guys from a Troma movie, like The Toxic Avenger, and maybe a couple from Futurama. But they look neat, which is pretty much the bottom line. And today, the Gabba panel at Comic-Con today proved there could be some cool programming for kids outside a few gems like Sesame Street and Pee Wee and The Electric Company. Yes, YGG is without a doubt one of the hippest, most parent-friendly kids shows to come around since Spongebob, and also infinitely less annoying.
