Yo Gabba Gabba! is a children's television show currently airing on the Nick Jr. and Noggin cable networks in the United States and the Nick Jr. networks in the United Kingdom and Australia as well as Treehouse TV network in Canada. Created by Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz, the program is produced by The Magic Store and Wild Brain.
The series premiered August 20, 2007 on Nick Jr. and began broadcasting February 23, 2008 on Noggin. It has been renewed for a second season which airs in 2008.[1]
On April 30, 2008, the series received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design/Styling.[2]
Some claim the title of the series is derived from the chant "Gabba Gabba Hey", first coined by punk rock band Ramones, but any similarities to the Ramones are coincidental and end at the title. [3]
The show also featured regular use of chiptunes and visuals reminiscent of retro video games and TV shows.
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 will take place in Australia in May 2009. DJ Lance Rock, Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee and Plex will be performing in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney with an indie house-band and secret, special guests at each show. The concerts are being produced by Australian promoter, Entertainment Store Group.
