The minds behind Yo Gabba Gabba! are not content to settle with one successful kids show. In fact, they have just hooked themselves a certain daughter I know with a brand-new show--and some truly awesome rock music. And I'm betting a lot of other daughters and sons will be hooked when this new show premieres today.
"The Aquabats! Super Show!"
(I bow down to the generous-yet-not-totally-annoying use of exclamation points)
focuses on a band of crime-fighting musicians who are on a mission to
vanquish evil using the power of rock 'n' roll.
It's totally comical and campy in a way that even kids seem to understand: a mix of live-action fun, cartoon interludes, and--of course--seriously great rock music. The Aquabats are, after all, a real band--they just happen to be hilarious superheroes, too.
If you're worried about villains and violence (I was, too), don't--the monsters and villains are really pretty silly--think Star Trek's tribbles.
My daughter really likes the show, and I loved watching it with her. Her one criticism came in the form of this question: "Why are there no girls in this?" And I'd like to know too.
But then she ran upstairs to her room and donned her own crime-fighting costume, which included a safari hat, a violin, and a sparkly bracelet. And anything that inspires her to be her own superhero is okay by me. -Lexi
