Nostalgia Is AWESOOOOOOME!!!! - iTunes AppleTV+ to Revive Nick Jr's Yo Gabba Gabba
DHX Media, Apple and WildBrain announced the razzle dazzle news that it would be reviving the classic Nick Jr. 2007 series Yo Gabba Gabba! for a whole new generation of kids which has been picked up for a new 20-episode fifth season.
The series' creators Christian Jacobs (The Aquabats) and Scott Schultz and presenter Lance Robertson are on board to join the dance party and bring this beloved show back to life for the modern generation.
If possible, all the other well-known stars including the voice cast of composer/songwriter Adam Deibert (The Aquabats) as Muno, Emma Jacobs as Foofa, Amos Waterine as Brobee and Erin Pearce as Toodee and regular celebrities Leslee Hall and Mark Mothersbaugh (Rugrats, All Grown Up!) will also be presented and accounted for. However, this unfortunately means that they will have to find a new hip hop rapper to do the "Beat of the Day" beatbox sketches since Biz Markie died two months ago.
It is currently unknown what Dancey Dance or Super Music Friends Show celebrities will be taking part in the new episodes.
Apple TV+ is slated to bow the new series on Friday October 29th
The original series aired across Nickelodeon, Nick Jr and Noggin between August 2007 and November 2015 and included a multitude of guest stars and music performances including The Little Ones, GoGo13, Lady Tigra, Mos Def, The Aggrolites and legends Solange Knowles, The Roots, Jack Black and Weird Al Yankovic among others.
Success led to being dubbed in over 45 languages, a merchandise deal, seven mobile videogames and a five-year-running concert tour.
Yo Gabba Gabba! (86 x 22-minute episodes) is a The Magic Store/DHX Media production for Nickelodeon and Apple Inc. in association with WildBrain Entertainment.

The Construction of the Pawprints - Nickelodeon Unveils LOST Footage from ORIGINAL 1995 Blue's Clues "Blueprints" Pilot Episode
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Blue's Clues franchise, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr's social media accounts have unveiled some lost footage from Blue's Prints the ORIGINAL pilot for the show first made in July 1995 and never aired on TV.
Some of the differences have already been noted for years, including the series logo and title card, the design of the house, Steven Burns the show's original host/presenter wearing a red/pink Hawaiian polo shirt instead of his trademark green stripes, Blue being a cat instead of a dog, the show opening with the song "Can You Help Me Today?" which would later resurface in 2000 for the Blue's Big Treasure Hunt: A Musical Expedition soundtrack CD instead of ending with the trademark "So Long Song" and Mr. Salt voiced by Nick Balaban (Bubble Guppies) talking in a New York accent instead of the France one in the final version.
Today Nick's social media accounts have uploaded some more lost clips with differences from the final show, including the intro for the pilot, the absence of Sidetable Drawer (voiced by Aleisha LaNae Allen), the notebook without its Handy Dandy nickname and an early incarnation of the classic "Here's The Mail" Mailtime song which would usually end with screaming in an impersonation of Pee-Wee Herman from the classic preschool variety series PeeWee's Playhouse according to a conference speech made by Burns during a panel back in 2011.
It is possible that the full pilot will be unveiled rather quickly as Nick Jr's Facebook page has credited this as a "first look" video.
