WOW! Children's Programming has really changed!

The Aquabats and Devo have both been on Yo Gabba Gabba!, which was, incidentally, created by MC Bat Commander. Another regular on the show is Biz Markie, who teaches kids how to [DEL]annoy their parents[/DEL] beatbox.

Truth be told, I like the fact that I'm seeing a return to cartoons as an art form as opposed to cartoons as a billboard. Kind of like the 90s, except that instead of Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy, and The Angry Beavers, we now have Chowder, Adventure Time, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, etc.

Also, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo teaches kids how to draw. My kid always wants to watch Elmo. I try to persuade him towards DJ Lance Rock and our Yo Gabba Gabba friends when I can. :)
