My twins love all the backyardigan videos. Love them. They watch them over and over. I have to admit, I get hooked on the songs and watch them right along with them.

My son loves the Backyardigan's. I was DVRing them, but he wanted to watch them on trips and in his bedroom. So I bought the whole set (10 DVDs). The characters speak clearly, using proper english. I think that sets a good example. The singing and dancing are high quality. The songs themselves can be a little inane, but it is a childrens show after all.

Every single episode is a mini Broadway production! Excellent music is matched by incredible realistic animated choreography and the stories are great, too! Not only is it entertaining, it fuels the imagination and teaches appreciation for music and dance. There's nothing bad I can say about this show!!

As usual, another excellent Backyardigans DVD. As a rule, I find shows aimed for toddlers are unbearable. But this tends to be something I can watch with my daughter and enjoy.

The main episode, "Cave Party" features a Calypso theme. The other shows and themes are:

"Race Around The World", which features a Zydeco theme.
"Eureka!" features a Township jive theme.
"Castaways" features a Bossa Nova/Brazilian samba theme.

The CGI animation looks great. The characters are sweet, and they have the cutest little singing voices. I love the way they dance. All around, it's a great show. I have no problem letting my daughter watch it, and she remains captivated throughout each show.

I tend to dislike children's programming that is really aimed for the older set, meaning any show that is overly sarcastic or "snarky." I mean, call it what it is - because I enjoy the heck out of stuff like that, but I don't think it's entirely appropriate for small children. I'm really glad we have shows like The Backyardigans to turn to.
