Why I love the Backyardigans.

Connor loves the show Backyardigans and Sophia is fairly fond of it as well. The show is full of music, singing, dancing, and creative plots. As far as kid shows go, I give this one a giant thanks for the 20 minutes to myself.

What I love most of all is the creativity of the episodes. The plot lines are so ridiculous that they encourage Connor to make up equally unique worlds in his mind.

Here are the latest plot lines of the most recent episodes we've watched.

Blazing Paddles: Uniqua is the sheriff who keeps her small western town safe for ping-pong. When Ping Pong Bandit Pablo comes to town, his deadly ping-pong moves allow him to beat everybody in town and even drive Sherriff Uniqua out.

Le Master of Disguise: Austin is a detective who's in search of the notorious Master of Disguise, Pablo, who can only be identified by his laugh. He follows the laugh onto The Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul.

The Masked Retriever: Uniqua is a librarian by day, who with her horse Toronado avenges un-returned library books. When Tasha wants to take a book out and can't because Don Austin hasn't returned it Uniqua makes it her mission to get it back.

You wish you were six years old again now, don't you?
