Yo Gabba Gabba! was a live-action/puppet musical series that ran on Nick Jr. from 2007 to 2015.^[1]

The series consists of the musician DJ Lance Rock and five costumed characters as toys that come to life when placed in a multi colored land scape; Muno, Plex, Foofa, Toodee, and Brobee as they appear in many segments and musical numbers of each episode.

Pilots

The series had two pilots titled "Play" and the second being "Short Story" developed in 2006. The characters (with Brobe being an exception) had slightly different look from the final show; Foofa having a bulkier costume design, Plex with a blue antenna instead of red, Muno with slighly sharper looking teeth and Toodee with glossier looking eyes. Julius The Monkey also appears in "Short Story" while dancing with the other characters.
