Yo Gabba Gabba: Let’s Visit the Doctor! delivers a dose of episodes to help pre-schoolers deal with the all too common sniffles. When Todee becomes sick, the Doctor gives her a check-up and her Gabbaland friends gather around with chicken soup, warm blankets and fairytale stories! When Todee feels better, it’s back to playtime and snacks with her Gabbaland friends!
In 2007, Nick Jr. and Noggin began airing the children’s TV show titled “Yo Gabba Gabba! created by Christian Jacobs (lead vocalist of the Aquabatas), Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz. The series has quickly become one of the more popular children’s show on television and even was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for “Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design/Styling”.
The show revolves around a character named DJ Lance Rock and his costumed character friends Muno (red and clumsy cyclops), Foofa (pink character with flower) , Brobee (an emotional, short green monster), Toodee (blue arctic cat dragon) and Plex (the smart robot) that come out of his boom box and come to life when he takes them out.
While DJ Lance Rock oversees his friends in their small kingdom, the characters learn an important lesson with each episode and everyone participates in a musical song and during each break is a short sketch or animation. And each episode is known to have a special celebrity guest.
In this latest DVD, the theme is hygiene and practicing safety as DJ Lance and his friends learn about getting rest when one is sick and seeing the doctor, the importance of brushing your teeth, cleaning your hands to rid of germs and buckling up when inside a car.
“Yo Gabba Gabba!” is an educational children’s show teaching children right from wrong, team work and more.
The episodes featured on this DVD are:
- Doctor – Toodee gets sick and is visited by the doctor.
- Teeth – DJ Lance talks about memories when friends from Gabbaland lost their teeth.
- Clean -Plex and DJ Lance Rock shows their friends how to get rid of germs by washing their hands.
- Car – DJ Lance and friends singing about buckling up and staying safe on the road.
VIDEO & AUDIO:
“Yo Gabba Gabba!: Let’s Visit the Doctor!” is a series featured in full screen and a series shot indoors and is not animated but characters in costume and some skits are animated. The show features plenty of colors and characters that children will easily gravitate too.
Audio is presented in English Dolby Digital Stereo.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
“Yo Gabba Gabba!: Let’s Visit the Doctor!” does not come with any special features.
“Yo Gabba Gabba!” is a fantastic series for the children and a very good DVD (especially on long commutes) in order to help children with their decision skills but also teaching them about team work and also singing and dancing along to music.
In some ways, the show is similar to “Blues Clues” in which the host DJ Lance Rock looks towards the audience to help out the Gabbaland group, similar to “Backyardigans”, “Dora the Explorer” and “Go Diego Go!” in that the characters go on adventures and similar to “Sesame Street” in that a musical guest can be seen performing a song and you get various non-Gabbaland segments (animated or musical-based).
And this is a pretty good educational DVD when it comes to hygiene and also practicing safety. So, if you have children who are learning to brush their teeth, their hands and getting rest while they are sick and even buckling up their seatbelts in the car, “Yo Gabba Gabba!: Let’s Visit the Doctor!” is worth checking out!
If there was one thing that I am a bit critical about Nickelodeon DVD’s thus far is that I wish there were more special features (in this case, there are no special features on this DVD at all), possibly DVD-rom content or games but other than that, you do get four episodes and the DVD’s are typically sold at a low price, so they are very affordable and very good, safe, educational children’s episodes.
If you are a parent, grandparent or teacher looking for a safe, educational DVD for children, “Yo Gabba Gabba!: Let’s Visit the Doctor!” is recommended!
