Nick Greenlights More Yo Gabba Gabba

NEW YORK: Nickelodeon has ordered a third season of the live-action preschool music series Yo Gabba Gabba!, with production on 13 new half-hour episodes due to begin in August.

From The Magic Store and W!LDBRAIN, the show currently airs daily at 1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on NOGGIN. It premiered in the U.S. on Nickelodeon in August 2007, using retro-style and beat-driven music to teach simple life lessons through characters who play and dance as soon as they hear the magic words "Yo Gabba Gabba!" 

"Yo Gabba Gabba! is one of the coolest preschool shows on TV and we’re excited to bring 13 new episodes to the legions of Gabba fans across the globe," said Brown Johnson, the president of animation at Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group. "The collaboration with The Magic Store and W!LDBRAIN has been fantastic and together we’ll deliver another amazing season chock full of catchy tunes, celeb guests, funky dances and valuable lessons for young children.
