You may be too old to still watch cartoons, and too young to have kids to watch cartoons with. So you are probably missing out on one of the best TV programs, The Backyardigans.
The show is about five kids playing "pretend" in their backyard, and then got transposed into their imaginary world. In different episodes, they are spies, surfers (the wave kind, not the computer kind), detectives, cowboys, etc. The kids are cute, the animation is cool, the storylines are fun, the dance moves are realistic, and the music is the best part. The music in each episode features a different genre - hip-hop, reggae, polka, jazz, country & western, zydeco, Gilbert and Sullivan, etc.
My current favorite is "Into The Deep", where I am just totally taken by the "Bollywood" music throughout the whole episode. My current favorite song is "Go, Go, Go!" The song is short enough so I uploaded the video for your enjoyment - although, I must say, the video doesn't really represent the greatness and cleverness of the series.
If you want full episodes for your computer or iPod, let me know. I can supply them in mpeg, VOB, DivX or iPod formats. In the meantime, go enjoy it on TV.
