When my sisters and I were little, we watched a lot of Dora, Boots, and their educational exploits. In later years, I grew out of the show. Nowadays, I can see why so many people hate it. Let's start with the most popular reason - Dora's show is repetitive as it gets - She's always seen asking kids if they can say a certain Spanish word and asking where something is that's right behind her. At least "Blue's Clues" is clever, and handled the fake interactivity well. Oh, and she encourages kids to yell at their TV screens - "Say 'Map!' Louder!" In one episode, she also teaches counting twice, which is most of the time ideal for a preschool television program, but in Dora's case it's absolutely ridiculous.
In this show, Dora is barely seen exploring with her parents - though they sometimes join in, like in "Catch the Babies!." This encourages kids do the same, which can lead them in getting into (sometimes serious) trouble. When I was in kindergarten, I also went out without adult supervision in a scenario inspired by the aforementioned "Catch the Babies!" episode.
However, I do like the "Mister Rogers"-type feel with Dora talking to kids and treating them like they're her friends, usually in the opening or closing of each show.
The show is wholesome, innocent, and good clean fun for its age range of one to four year olds - it even teaches them a new language, but otherwise it's a dumb show with repetition and shouting. At least the spin-off "Dora and Friends: Into the City!" is better.

I watched this show sometimes as a tiny tot. I enjoyed the catchy songs and cool things Chica and the gang did. Otherwise, I refused to watch (and Sprout in general for some time) due to the Sprout personalities who would make guest appearances from time to time. I got over this in later years. Aside from the segments featuring viewer submissions (like "ZOOM"), this show can actually teach you things, like that brushing your tongue as well as your teeth can give you good breath. The show also focuses on different themes each week - with this, kids can learn about dress up, letters, numbers, and family and friends. There are also humorous sketches and catchy songs, and occasionally something for adults like witty parodies or A-list guest appearances.
I wish more kids watched this - my generation enjoyed and learned so much. Plus, it would be nice to see them enjoy something other than the brainwashing nursery rhymes of "CoComelon." I also hope it gets rebooted for a new generation - look at "Blue's Clues!"
I'm always on the hunt for lost segments, and I've managed to find a few on YouTube pages on the Wayback Machine in August 2022 (I'm well-known in the Sprout fandom for finding rare stuff). In short, if children love fun, music, and laughs, they'll love "The Sunny Side Up Show!"

What do you get when you combine lots of music, cool dance moves, short segments teaching lessons, and guest appearances? You get the amazing "Yo Gabba Gabba!." Sure, some people may hate this show, but I try to ignore them, since it's my favorite television show of all time.
While people stopped caring about most of the shows I grew up with, this one has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years - many kids watch it (it's on Tubi now) and it's very active on Facebook and Instagram. Needless to say. Kids love this show ... and so do college students and adults, of course! I mean, what other kids show has Taking Back Sunday (my favorite band) and/or Weezer?
Before I got more into this show in 2017, I watched it sometimes as a little girl and almost every night when I was in kindergarten on Nick Jr. On Demand. I LOVED the catchy songs and some of the segments. It taught me not to bite my friends, to try new foods, and also some knock-knock jokes, courtesy of Jack McBrayer and Paul Scheer. The guests were also interesting (such as Jack Black), even if they were ones I didn't know (such as The Lady Tigra). I also watched videos of the show on YouTube and owned several apps.
On the last day of fourth grade, I found myself thinking about the Season 1 episode "Sleep," which led to me going on websites related to, playing on old apps, and watching episodes of this show. This lasted the rest of the summer. Needless to say, I was HOOKED ... and still am! (Well, except for the time I took a break in 2018).
Friends and family members are all in when it comes to my obsession with "Yo Gabba Gabba!." In fact, they like it because I do. I own countless pieces of merchandise, am friends with cast and crew members on Facebook, watch the show sometimes, and know almost all of the songs and guests. I believe this show is popular because of its hipster bona fides, cool music, and of course the guests. Of course there's "Sesame Street," "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," "Blue's Clues," and "Bluey," and those are all great shows too. But "Yo Gabba Gabba!" is arguably the most important show in my life.
