In our house we love Backyardigan. What's special about this TV series is that it is kind of a children's musical with a wide variety of genres of music like Salsa, 60's Rock, Irish Folk, '40's Big Band, Tango, Hip-Hop, Western Swing, Cab Calloway-style 20's Jazz, Afro-Pop, and many many others. The stories are very good too. Some of my favorite are the following The Legend of the Volcano Sisters The Swamp Creature (I laugh my head off) Special Delivery Horsing Around (funny and beautiful music) These are the name of the episodes, not the title of the DVD. When you buy or rent from the library, check the back of the DVD if those are in. It might take a couple of episodes to warm you up to it. But once you do, you will like it. There are many Backyardigan fans outthere if you check youtube. Some are teenagers and others are parents like me. It is very rare to come by some young children's entertaiment which do not bore the parents down.
one more thing. If you are from NY, you will smile at Uniqua's cute Brooklyn 's accent. It's mainly spoken by African American, but the way Uniqua talks gives this charactor a special edge.

my son was 2 year 7 months when we started this. I must say my daughter and us enjoyed it more than he did in the very beginning. Like I said, it takes some time to warm up to it for young kids. Since the English is not childish (but proper English according to expert), it's might be hard for small kids to understand, especially those to do not have exposure to english. However, it's still worth it to watch because some music are so nice and catchy. My son sings "Tyron the mailman" with his sister all day and begs to watch it again and again. I was so good at imitating the movement of that donkey in "horsing around" that my husband asked me to perform such thing to the whole family. It was lots of fun. I think those who appreciate music will like it sooner than the rest.
