I very rarely take guidance from Megan Joy.
This, however, was a worthy exception. I watched "Yo Gabba Gabba" and kind of agreed with her.
"The second the show came out, I fell in love with it," Joy said, the day after being ousted by "American Idol" viewers. "It's just pure genius."
Well, maybe not genius, but it is pure kinda-clever-and-original.
A man strolls in with a case and pulls little figures out. They soon become people in odd costumes, bouncing aroud. This might seem way too much like "Barney" and such, except that it has a redeeming sense of irony and wit.
It also has lots of sub-categories, all of which Joy and her 2-year-old son have apparently memorized. She said she'd like to do anything on the show.
"I'd do 'Cool Tricks' or 'Super Music Friends,'" he said. "I'd do anything. I'd do the 'Dancey Dance,' anything they want me to do, I would do it. I think they're brilliant."
Someone who reached the "Idol" top-10 really should aspire to more than "Dancey Dance," of course. Still, we have to credit Joy's taste. Watching he show with a 4-year-old who provided narration and explanation, we found the whole thing to be oddly, almost perversely entertaining.
