For whatever reason, my son will only “watch” one show. And by watch, I mean intently watch and zone in. He’ll basically do anything to catch a view of the television showing anything, regardless of what it is. We make a conscious effort to limit the time he’s in front of a tv, but he seems to weasel his way by turning his head Linda Blair style just to catch a momentary glimpse. But we usually watch one episode of Backyardigans with him a day, and he loves it.
We’ve tried Yo Gabba Gabba, we’ve tried Wow Wow Wubbzy, Blue’s Clues, Seasame Street, and a couple of others, but after a couple of minutes, his attention is lost. However, once that Backyardigans theme starts, he’s in. It’s watchable for adults, but I warn you, the songs (and there are a lot of songs) are extremely catchy. I still sing the “Piratitude” song while walking around the house sometimes (that’s Pirate Atitude…you’ll see). It’s a lot of singing and bright colors, so I can see why he’d like it.
So if you’re looking to easy your baby into alittle tv, Backyardigans might do the trick.
