In our last episode before our fall break, we review Apple TV’s Yo Gabba Gabbaland, a reboot of a 2000s show beloved by hipster parents everywhere. We bemoan being too old to recognize any of the impressive musical guests, and we discuss whether the “variety show” label is a positive or negative for modern preschool programming. We will be back with new episodes in October starting with a celebration of our 200th episode! Until then, find almost 200 archived episodes on our website myscreentimetoo.com.

Previous episodes we mention:

• Muppets Now
• Ask the Storybots
• Ms. Rachel’s Songs for Littles

Welcome to Pooh Corner is the show Katie remembers from her childhood with actors wearing costumes to play Pooh and his friends.

Yo Gabba Gabbaland made us think of these movies and shows for grown ups:

• Busy This Week on QVC
• Early seasons of Late Night with Conan O’Brien

We cast our gritty Yo Gabba Gabbaland reboot with:

• Broadway superstars Audra McDonald, Jerry Orbach, Alan Cumming, Idina Menzel, and Renee Elise Goldsberry as musical guests

• Vince Vaughn as Muno
