Guilty Pleasure: The Backyardigans

Backyardigans cast CBS, 7:30 a.m., Sundays.

Their round little digital bodies! The songs! Austin’s neurotic freakouts! Tyrone’s raspy voice! My sister made me watch this show when she came out to visit last year and I am hooked.

I’m fairly positive Owen couldn’t care less about it, but I’m the mama. So every week we’re awake and drinking our coffee-slash-bottles as we wake up to cheerful tunes about pirates and vision quests and smelly, bubbly mud pits. It’s awesome.

Sophie LOVES Austin. She likes to mother other people, so I’m thinking she’ll be a therapist someday.

Did you see the one about the worm polka palace? The one where they kept randomly saying, “Yip! Yip! Yip!” because that’s what cowboy polka musicians say? Of course they do! And I love it too!

Bella runs around singing the “Hide and Go BOO” song, and the Tarzan one a lot.

And hey, I’m ready for my makeover, anytime you are. I NEEDS it. A Supa-Fly site. Gimme a jangle.

I love the yip-yip one! OK, great, the Yip-Yip-Yip is in my head now
Belinda, you betcha. There’s quite a line in front of you, however, so please be patient. E-mail to follow.

I am nothing if not patient. Whoa. Maybe I’m just nothing.

Oh, yes! Crazy for the Backyardigans. Now if only I could find some Backyardigans valentine cards for my little student to hand out at school.
