Kids These Days

I woke up this morning, stumbled out of bed and sauntered into the living room, groggy and sore. My wife was sitting in one of the easy chairs while our son was seated in a “boppy” chair, watching a kid’s show called Yo Gabba Gabba!. I fear for the kids growing up today, their ADD/ADHD will be 20 times worse than any generation previous.

I have to admit, I was surprised by the relative cool factor of the show. It first entered my consciousness last night when @RoseHarding posted a link to Weezer performing a song on that show on Twitter. I’ve thought about it and I like it. Syd and Marty Kroft mashed up with Sesame Street for the 21st century. If I was stoned I could watch this show for days on end.

This sh*t is off the hook. If you have kids, you could do a lot worse than to have to watch this show with them. Just mute the show up until the musical guest or band comes on and you’re both happy!

Here’s Andy Samberg behind the scenes:

Now I’m just waiting for the LSD-infused YouTube remixes. Think of all the nightmares this show will inspire…

Cheers!
