Yo Gabba Gabba! returns to amuse, confuse, terrify kids

Disclaimer: Children should not take Acid. In fact, no one should sample LSD, but children should really stay away.That said, speaking theoretically, if kids did drop a soaked sugar cube or six, they would see visions potentially less bizarre than what they take in during an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba(!). The Nick, Jr. and Noggin show is back this week with new episodes for fascinated children and really high adults.
A lot of kids love it. It's colorful, kinetic, and everybody involved keeps a smile on their face -- even the bizarre anthropomorphized, toys-turned-life size characters -- Muno (red cyclops), Foofa (pinkish bow thing), Brobee (the green monster with no elbows) ), Toodee (the blue cat) and Plex (the yellow, 50s-ish robot).
CBS drops Nick Jr. programming

As part of the split between them and Viacom, CBS will
drop the Saturday morning block of programming airing under the "Nick Jr. on CBS" banner. That means no more
repurposing of Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer or any other Nick properties. Come fall CBS will partner with
DIC Entertainment for a three-hour block of programs that - and this is the important part - fulfill FCC
requirements for kids shows. DIC currently does this exact same sort of thing for other networks such as Fox and
Tribune Entertainment. Some of the shows included in the block will be Strawberry Shortcake, Trollz and
others. The programming block will not be re-branded with DIC's name as it was with Nick Jr.TV Squad Hot Topics
