After struggling to get a response from several networks, the show first got traction on the Internet, where Nickelodeon execs noticed the secret ingredient that makes Yo Gabba Gabba! work: funk--lots of it. The songs are set to contagious hip-hop beats, and the animation is so retro it looks like a rave party for kids. "We have all the traditional elements, but they are repackaged in a contemporary way," says Jacobs...
