RSS Forget Dr. McDreamy and the fashionable gals of "Sex and The City." The stars of a hit television show aimed at preschoolers, "Yo Gabba Gabba!" are now the ones capturing the often coveted eyes of twenty-somethings nationwide.
Nickelodeon's "Yo Gabba Gabba!" has become a hit, not only among preschoolers, but also among 20-somethings looking for a new distraction.

More PhotosThe Nickelodeon series, a mix of animated shorts and live action, aims to teach kids important life lessons, such as why it's good to eat vegetables and how to make their beds.
But it's not just a hit among the crayon-wielding, sticky-fingered crowd that the producers originally intended the show for.
An older demographic — college students and many parents of preschoolers — has become just as, if not more, obsessed with "Yo Gabba Gabba!" as the toddlers who the show is aimed at.
Georgia Southern University sophomore James Kicklighter told ABCNews.com that he and his friends meet to watch "Yo Gabba Gabba!" three times a week.

My theory is that the reason the main characters of the show "come to life" is because he's on an acid trip and we as the viewers are invited into his hallucinations.

I believe it. In college, we used to toke up, put sesame street on mute, and watch the muppets groove to Beastie Boys.
No wonder it took me 6 years to graduate!

DH told me they used to watch telletubbies in College and smoke doobs or do shrooms before the show.
