Been wondering where I am and what happened with this blog? Well, I've moved on. My fascination with music continues, but this time it's about the intersection between music and the stories found in a book, not on the TV screen. Have you ever read a book that pulled you out of your life while you were reading it, one that gave you a glimpse of what else might be out there, or what you hoped

"Into The Deep" will be the newest Backyardigans episode to be shown on Nick Jr, airing tomorrow, June 27, at 9 a.m.Tyrone and Pablo explore the deepest parts of the ocean in a submarine, searching for mermaids. Tash and Uniqua are mermaids with a garden they want to protect from intruders. The musical genre is Bollywood.If you miss it Wednesday, the episode is scheduled to air again this Friday

When it takes just as long to recover from a vacation as you actually spent on the vacation, does that mean you had a lot of fun, or just that you made a 10 hour car trip with two small children?Not to mention, the air conditioning broke down. It's very difficult to hear audiobooks in the back seat when all the windows are wide open. It's also very hard to color, read, or play with the toys that

Where are these dolls from?Dear Backyardigans Fan:I found these plush figures in Walmart that had Pablo dressed up like Mickey Mouse's "Sorcerer's Apprentice" (the wizard hat) and then a Uniqua with a pink bag, and she sang about solving mysteries, or being a detective or something. On the Wikipedia site they have a few unseen episodes listed, but neither of these would fit the bill. I was

Something I didn't expect when I put my address up here, was the number of letters I've started getting asking me questions about episodes, songs and trivia.

Sometimes the people who put together the Backyardigans DVDs do a great job with the extras. Sometimes things are a little ... disappointing. What do you wish they'd include in the extras?Some of my thoughts:An interview with the show's creatorSome footage of the actors as they workSome footage of the dancers behind the fast-stepping kidsInterviews with the actorsMore information about the music

This is the second Backyardigans DVD from the second season! As usual, the DVD has four episodes and a few extras, although the extras were disappointing this time around. There are two extras, but only one is related to the Backyardigans. The other is simply an ad for the Wonder Pets DVD coming out soon. Not bad, I guess, if you're a Wonder Pets fan, but not what I was hoping for.The Legend of

There's a lot of speculation about why Pablo, Uniqua and Tyrone are seen in every Backyardigans episode and used so much in the marketing, but Austin and Tasha tend to be left out, much to the dismay of their fans. In working on this picture, showing where each Backyardigan lives, I noticed something interesting that might explain that (at least from the perspective inside the Backyardigans world

Right now, out of all the Backyardigans episodes, The Volcano Sisters is the favorite in our house. About once a week my kids will ask me to play our Tivo recording of it. Then they'll pile the sofa cushions up into a small mountain and sit next to each other on it, every so often crying out, "Koo-Koo-Pele!"Occasionally, just for variety, they'll holler, "We are mad!"Well, today the new Volcano

I'll admit, I'm impressed beyond measure, mostly because I don't think I could ever figure out how to do it!

In one form or another, there seems to be a lot of controversy around Uniqua, which is pretty odd considering she's a cartoon character. Aside from the constant debate over just what she is, there's also now a charge that her name is taken from the Cherokee word for the Great Spirit.Personally, the name isn't that uncommon, as I've written about before. I doubt Uniqua's creators had even heard of

I found another article quoting Evan Lurie about The Backyardigans, thanks to TV for Tots. He talks a little bit about the creative process involved in creating an episode, and how they match up the episode with the musical genre. For instance, he describes Tarzan, and Gilbert and Sullivan (The Heart of the Jungle episode) as being Victorian, saying that they throw things around that seem

Well, this was a very different Backyardigans!The episode started with a picture of a book on a table, instead of the typical shot in which the camera zooms in on the backyard. This episode is also told as a story, by an unseen narrator (you might recognize the voice, but if you don't, the narrator's identity is revealed at the end.) When we finally see the backyard, it's a very different sight.

The tradition in our family is to carve the pumpkin the day before Halloween. The youngest members of the family help scoop out the insides, using big spoons. Mom handles the actual cutting.The question every year, though, is what face shall we carve into that orange globe? Usually we just use our imaginations, but there are years when we want something that shows a little more artistic ability

In case you've forgotten, or just didn't realize, the newest Backyardigans episode, Mission to Mars, is airing today. It features Alicia Keys as a Mommy Martian, and Keys' niece, Shakyra Lipscomb, as a baby martian. Judging from the music clips we've been hearing on the ads, we should be looking at another half hour of great music today.You might also be interested in an interview by the

Fellow Fan Martha, in the comments the other day, shared that Entertainment Weekly has recently done an article about the dancing in The Backyardigans.(Now, if you didn't already know this, let me fill you in a little. Each of the Backyardigans has two people for their voices - one actor/actress does all the speaking, another does all the singing. They also, however, each have their own dancer.

Up to now, we've always had that list of the complete Backyardigans episodes. I've had it up here, TV. com has it up at their Backyardigans section, and Wikipedia has what I think is the best overall picture of each of the first 20 episodes. But, so far, nothing comprehensive on the next 20 episodes has been released.So, what can we figure out? We know that the first of the new episodes, Mission

If you're the kind of person who likes to plan ahead - really far ahead - you might be interested in the Backyardigans calendar available for preorder at Amazon. (You probably won't have to wait too long to get it, though. The release date is June 30.)It's a wall calendar, for 2007, in English. There's no picture available, yet. Hopefully it will show up soon!

In an article in the Arizona Republic, columnist Bill Goodykroontz has a list of lists. Among others, he has: late, great shows that haven't worn out their welcome in reruns, 3 people we can do without ever hearing from again, When disaster strikes, the 4 TV news people I want to be watching, and (dunt-da-daa!) 5 kids shows adults can enjoy without having to pretend.Naturally, The Backyardigans

Interesting things showing up over at Amazon! I think we can take these new books as good bets for being part of the upcoming 20 new episodes. I can't wait!

I rented Zathura from Netflix a while ago, and finally had the time to watch it tonight. One of the lead characters, a little boy named Danny, is played by an actor named Jonah Bobo. Which name kept nagging at me, with me thinking, "Wow, that's familiar ..."Yeah, yeah, it hit me just now. He's the voice of Austin! (In Canada and America, that is.)So, if you want to see what the boy behind Austin

Nickelodeon announced the launch of Nick Mobile on Sprint PCS phones, April 17. Sprint PCS customers will be able to download a "full range of video clips from Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. programming" according to the press release. There will be short video clips, vignettes and music videos. The Nick Jr. music videos will be about two minutes long. The Nick Jr. clips will be from Dora,

People are always asking where they can find Backyardigans party supplies. Sadly, they're still not available. There are people out there, however, who are amazingly talented and have been generous enough to share their good ideas. The links below will take you to various posts about staging a creative Backyardigans party, even without any official supplies.Tinkermonkey at BackyardiganFans - "

Well, I finally found some Backyardigans Band-Aids for my children! Here are the pictures, since I know some people have complained that they can't find them, because they don't know what the packaging looks like. (Yes, that is my carpet.)As the packaging states, there are 20 bandages, in two sizes. There are 10 larger size bandages and 10 smaller ones just right for wrapping around little

I find it interesting that, with only two episodes having the word Party in their title, Nick Jr. wound up choosing both of those episodes to title DVDs. It must be some sort of marketing thing.Cave Party follows the Backyardigans DVD pattern. Four episodes, one of them previously unaired on Nick Jr. The episodes on this DVD are: Cave Party - Tasha and Austin invite Uniqua, Pablo and Tyrone to

Well, it seems they're not going to be airing the first of the new episodes in September, after all. A new press release from Nick Jr. gives October as the kick off date.Very disappointing. Don't they know we're all waiting with bated breath? Come on, guys, I'm turning blue here!The same press release has other interesting information, though.

So, we moved, and in the move the monitor got broken.Hard to get online when you can't see what you're doing. You'd think, with all the time I've spent on this blog, that I could do it blindfolded, but no. It turns out I can't.But here I am, with no plans to move at any time in the future. Ever.I really hate moving.

If you have been anxiously looking for Backyardigans shoes for your child, you've probably been told to try Kohl's. If you're willing to wait until July, however, you'll be able to find a bigger selection!Nickelodeon and Brown Shoes have teamed up to put out four new lines of shoes, two of which are based on Nick Jr. shows, specifically Go Diego Go and The Backyardigans.

Signing up as a Nick Jr. member is free.I also finally found some more Backyardigans coloring pages! These are from the UK Nick Jr. site, which I should have thought to check earlier.

Remember last November, when I posted about finding a Backyardigans Make Your Own Little Golden Book? Well, I've finally found out more and it's not at all what I thought it might be.According to the Random House website, "Children will love making their very own book Little Golden Book with colorful crayons, markers, and Backyardigans stencils and stickers!"Sooo.

Well, I'm just kind of sitting around this week, waiting for Netflix to send me a copy of Cave Party. Which I am wishing would get here today, because I have two very sick little people here, who are exceedingly grumpy and cranky. It would be nice to have something new, for the purposes of distraction.Although this has been a big week for new programming on Nick Jr. Has anyone seen Wonderpets yet

Since curious people have been looking for this information, I thought I'd put it up where everyone can find it.There are two Backyardigans DVDs left to be released. Between them, they have the final eight of the first 20 episodes. Both are available for preorder through Amazon and, I'm sure, several other places.Release Date: March 7, 2006Episodes: Cave Party, Race Around The World, Eureka,
