#4 YO GABBA GABBA!
"Think happy thoughts," sings Muno the friendly one-eyed, red-knobbed monster. And with season two of the sleeper hit TV series Yo Gabba Gabba! (returning September 22 on Nick Jr.), we're doing just that. The music-filled, creature-featured show is for kids — they say! — but highly addictive to anyone with a weakness for the Ramones (the show title comes from their 1977 tune "Pinhead"), Devo (frontman Mark Mothersbaugh does the "Mark's Magic Pictures" drawing lesson), Intellivision (8-bit graphics pop up between segments), and robots (they're everywhere).
