Oh, dear lord.  I saw a promo for this after Dora, and it looks absolutely terrible.  In fact, it looks like a cheap ripoff of the Robin Sparkles "Let's Go to the Mall" video.  Nick, how could you?  This makes Kidz Bop look like art.

Sure, I agree with you on the creepiness scale. And I have no doubt that this band will used to instill progressive and liberal values in our children, which is the same technique used by nazis and communists.

I think Marina is a hottie, however.  

Jeez people, it's a kids show! My 1 year old and 3 year old daughters dance around every time one of the videos come on. They enjoy it. That's all that really matters, isn't it?

Well said Paul - the music is catchy, the lyrics are clean, and my 1.5 yr old gets up and dances to the videos.  Let's give the show a chance!

The "commercials" for the jumparounds are on all the time on Noggin.  I can't put my finger on it, but it seems like it's encouraging idol worship.  My daughter is 4.25 and she wants to watch them on the computer all the time.  Maybe this is my own crap from the past, but it seems when kids watch this stuff, it ultimately will get them hooked on sitcoms which, when watched often, skew a person's expectations of what life is supposed to be like, ultimately resulting in disappointment.  Anyway, I am glad we are getting rid of the TV when we move.

Why is there no more "Jack's Big Music Show"?  What was it, too good??  

I am very upset that they got rid of "Jack's Big Music Show". I am a music teacher and I loved that show! More importantly so did my daughter.  

My three month old loves the JumpArounds.  Nothing else instantly graps his attention and keeps it.  I think I want to see more of this group.  I think there songs are cheerful and easy to relate.  Exactly what I want for my grandson.

They all look like they're trying WAY too hard to be cool and have fun...and, they all look to be in their late 20s or 30s, not high school aged.  Ick.  

Well Noggin has started carpetbombing the jumparounds two songs.  In the span of 3 hours I saw them at least 4 times, my wife insists they are on every 20 minutes during the day.  I guess I dont have a problem with this in theory but man is it cheesy.  The lip synching is just aweful, and the overacting is comical.  My favorite is Twist (the awkward tall white dude), and the voice he lip synchs is like a special effected voice from the studio. I know its aimed at little kids, but someone needs to tell them to dial it down a bit. There facial expressions sometimes mimic that of a possessed person. They want the kids to watch not be scared.

Check out this dancing

Love it!  She's a triple threat!

Noggin has been going downhill ever since nickelodeon took over.

Really now, getting rid of Jack's Big Music Show and the Upside Down Show so they can show this idiotic crap? C'mon...

I like the songs! When the actual show comes, it may be cheesy. But who cares. It's for preschoolers. 'Cute's' Youtube video shows how kids react. Nuff said...

Got to "www.thejumparounds.com". There's 2 more videos to watch.

"Friends give friends a hand" & "Loco Legs"

I believe that yes they are very over dramatic however, that is what gets kids attention! They are trying to instill values that all children should learn. This show not only instills these values but gives children an appreciation for music. I think it is great and I love the line up that noggin has. Each show teaches children quality lessons in new fun ways that children don't always listen to when their parents try to teach them.

OK IM mad they got rid of Jack's big music show. But yeah the kids really like dancing around to this Jumparounds show.

But one thing that is really bugging me is, I just can't figure out who that red head is. I have seen her somewhere before, dose anyone know? They should get rid of Oswald and bring back Jack's big music show!

ok i think the music makes you move around and stuff they should get rid of oswald that shows sucks and yo gabba gabba is gay it doesnt teach kids anything at all they should get rid of it and i think that red head girl looks like the one of the models in aeropostale.com.... just saying and besides it is for little kids so who cares let the watch it and whatever..:)

Chris - NOGGIN has ALWAYS been owned by Nickelodeon

exactly what 'values' does this teach kids that a good parent cant.

Twist is a DJ, a skilled rapper, and a beat boxer. His instruments of choice are his super cool mix-tables and his voice. Twist is really imaginative and a natural jokester. Even when his outrageous ideas don't come about, he doesn't get into a twist; he just goes with the flow!

too many of you are over analyzing this. if you and your id like it, watch it. if not, dont. simple as that.

I am soooooooo Pissed they took The Upside Down Show off!  That was my Daughters favorite Show.  She could be in the middle of a Nuclear Scream Off and I could put on The Upside Down Show and it was immediate, she would stop, look, smile and just grin.  That and The Upside Down Show was Watchable.  Jack's Big Music Show was good too.  What is going on at Noggin??  If you are gonna get rid of shows, get rid of ones like Max and Ruby that have no intrinsic value what-so-ever.

Is Noggin being run by the Secretary of Education now of what??  Oh we are short on money, cut the worthwhile music show and anything that actually teaches the kids something.  Let's dumb the shows down so that "no child gets left behind".  Cause why raise the bar when it is so much easier and cheaper to drive the bar right into the ground.

Woops vented a little bit there, sorry.

Seriously... this show is for kids and their songs are catchy.  Everytime they come on my 2 1/2 and 8 month old starting dancing and laughing..

my 2 year old and 1 year old LOVE jacks big music show... the upside down show that was ok but no joke come on get ride of max and ruby or that wow wow wubsi whatever the heck that show is but not jacks big music show I would even watch it with them, these new jump arounds I guess I just don't get it or something???

my 2 year old is crazy for the Jumparounds!  My husband and I jump on the bed with her when they come on!!!  I hum the songs at work, but mostly Ella cannot wait until Blue's is over to hear them....I am new to this and do not know 'Jack's' show...but, I am very happy with this new introduction....Thanks!!!

Each year it seems we appeal to a lower common denominator.  The research these networks do must focus in on 1 successful element from another show and try and make an entire show out of that element.  There is nothing to this show.  Creepy is being too kind.  It has no soul.  I would think anyone who loves Jack's Big Music Show is scratching their head wondering how a network could get it so right and then completely disappoint us in their judgement so soon after by airing a show like this.

They look tooo old for their outfits. Who did the casting on this???? I agree with someone above. They are trying too hard -- their dancing looks unrehearsed (who's doing the choreo?) and they just seem really uptight. The little kids in the videos, that is, the real little kids are pretty talented though. we get bombarded by the videos all day and I always feel sorry for the talent -- kinda hard to pass up a gig I guess.

The ads for this make me want to destroy the earth.

"if you and your id like it, watch it. if not, dont. simple as that."

What discerning criteria. What if my kids like snuff films? Are those okay then too?

I personally see no harm in the JumpArounds both my two year old and five year old loves seeing the videos on Noggin.  That unlike High School Musical and Hannah Montana, this is directed for younger children in the preschool age.  My 5 year old daughter asked if we could get the music on our iPod for car rides.

I just realized that the Upside Down Show is missing from the roster.  How sad! My 9 month old son was just getting into that show. Jack's Big Music show still airs on the West coast from 8pm to 9pm. I hope they don't get rid of it.  The Jump-Arounds look obnoxious and far too old for the under 3 set.  As for Yo Gabba Gabba, I enjoy that show way more than my son mainly because I recognize the majority of bands and artists that guest star.

OMG! It amazes me how far someone can analyze something! My 4 year old LOVES the music and really...isn't that who it's for anyway?? Most kids shows are cheesy...it's cause they're for kids!

You people are nuts. First of all yo gabba gabba is a great show. And noggin is nuts for geting rid of jacks and upside down show. And for you conspericay people? Get a life. Your watching too too much you tube. And as for the jumparounds it's great for kids. It teaches kids how life should really be. Not always about guns sex and betrayal.

Little bill is one of my favorite show on noggin as well as yo gabba gabba.

Jeez, what a bunch of psychos! If you don't want your child watching the show, move on. Weirdos.

My 2 yr old son always jumps up and dances when the commercial comes on. He loves any music show. Nick had to find a show to compete with Disney's tween shows. I bet it does well.

The show to drop is Max & Ruby. All ruby does is yell "Maxxxx". All Max does is not listen. Last night my son put his dinner in his pocket because Max did. And I won't let my son watch Gabba Gabba. Come on! The joke is on us adults who have to watch it.

The jumparounds is pitiful. It doesn't belong on Noggin. My daughter just wants to watch Diego or Dora when she sees this. The songs are horrible and they are just trying to rope in people to the mindless teeny bop crowd. Please just get rid of them and their horrible dancing.

Ruby is horrible to listen to. I think Yo Gabba Gabba is actually smart if you watch it. Alot better than many of the shows out there.

i dont like it but my 4yr old loves it so good luck jumparound :p

Personally, the commercials for this show are already getting on my nerves. The energy level of shows like the jump arounds and lazytown do keep pre-schoolers attention. Unfortunately, when they start school, that energy level is usually not there - and neither is the kids attention.

I'll be going back to PBS and dvr'ing the shows that I want them to watch on noggin, not the ones being forced upon them.

Here's the thing: if I wanted Disney, I'd have the kids watch Disney because they do it 100 times better. If MTV/Viacom wants to start competing with them, they are going to have to do a LOT better than these insipid, annoying and ridiculously bad advertisements.

Jack's Big Music Show and the Upside Down Show . . .apparently they're not good enough because they can't be turned into a live-action ka-ching show to tour the country.

My son seems to enjoy the JumpArounds. He's always dancing when the videos come on. He loves all the shows on Noggin. Sometimes they just have to change things up to interests kids changing views...like when I was a kid, we didn't watch these kinds of shows, we watch smurfs and fraggle rock...things change and that's all their trying to do.

I have to agree with Stay at Home Dad. I am soooo upset about the Upside Down Show. That was one of the greatest shows ever for helping kids further their imaginations. I love "Action Fingers", they're also my 4 year olds favorite. It warms my heart to see him play "Action Fingers" in the grocery store. Long Live The Upside Down Show.

Oh and one other thing is, it wouldn't be an issue, considering you now can get just about anything on DVD, except The Upside Down Show. If you do find it, it's in a format where you have to have a special kind of DVD player. That stinks too.

Is it me or do they look 30?

WHAT?  Jack's Big Music Show is Cancelled?!?!  Oh No!

My 3 year old and even my 1 year old loves the songs and dances everytime they are on.  This by far is much better than 1/2 the shows they have running on the air. For instance Max and Ruby or Yo Gabba Gabba.  In Max and Ruby, Ruby tells Max "no" about 100times and he turns into a sneak.  Yo Gabba Gabba is just plain gut wrenching.  I think the Jumparounds are a good change up to the Noggin lineup!!!!  

Hmmm.. my 2 year old loves the videos. she even has some of the dances move down.. BUT I don't think they should have taken JACK'S BIG MUSIC SHOW off. Besides there is something creepy about adults playing teenagers to appeal to toddlers.

Yeah, I've noticed that the Jumparounds are HSM for preschoolers, but it doesn't bother me too much.  Personally, I am happy for the return of the musical...more people need to break out in song to express their emotions, LOL. My 15 month old loves the Go Go song and dances like crazy when it comes on.  The other songs so far are a little much, but hey, if Sybilla is happy, I'm happy.  I am sad they got rid of Jack's Big Music Show though... Syilla really liked that one!  

I agree that they should can Oswald and Max & Ruby... anyone else think that the reason Ruby is such a b*tch is because she and Max are orphans and Grandma's busy tossing back gin and tonics with her bingo buddies thus leaving Ruby to be in charge?  She takes Max everywhere with her; seriously, where the hell are their parents?!  Poor kid shouldn't have to be a mom at 6? Talk about teaching values!  And Yo Gabba Gabba is way creepy.  I feel like I should be on drugs when we it comes on.

The redhead does look really familiar though and it's driving me crazy that I can't find anything on her.

New Jumparounds video on yahoo kids: www.kids.yahoo.com

Come on guys..I think too many people are thinking way too hard about this. Yes..another show other than Jack's big music show should have been axed.  I would have much rather seen Little Bear or Max and Ruby or Oswald gone but oh well.  I have a two year old little boy who absolutely loves dancing around with The Jumparounds.  Judging by some of the "band bios" it looks like it may be corny but I can guarantee it won't be worse than Gabba Gabba.  Talk about a show that is creepy.

the red head - Shayna Rose - played Stephanie on Days of our Lives

"Rick said:

Sure, I agree with you on the creepiness scale. And I have no doubt that this band will used to instill progressive and liberal values in our children, which is the same technique used by nazis and communists.

I think Marina is a hottie, however."

AN OPEN LETTER TO RICK:  ALLOW ME TO TRANSLATE YOUR COMMENT:

"I'm morally righteous and will tell you so.  Then, I will scope out your middle school aged daughter."

MARINA IS A HOTTIE?  WHO'S THE CREEPY ONE HERE?

C'mon, it's a kids show, and it's designed to get kids off their rear ends.  Lame, yes, but who hasn't watched reruns of their favorite program from 30 years ago and wondered how they could've watched that garbage.

Noggin cancelled the Upside Down Show forever ago, which is why I've had it on DVR as a back up.  Both my kids LOVE it!  JBMS (and Bunnytown, both by Spiffy Productions) have not been around for awhile.  There is a DVD out with 4 episodes for anyone who can't get it anymore.

My kids stop and dance when ever the Jumparounds are on... the songs are stuck in my head all day.  Having said that... We miss Jack's Big Music show so much. It was the BEST thing on Noggin... I agree get rid of Oswald and Max and Ruby. Toot and Puddle stink, too.

The Red HEad is from Days of Our Lives. She played Stephanie Johnson. It was driving me crazy. I couldn't figure out where I knew her from.

Kelly, I agree Ruby is a B****

Personally I like the show... my 2 year old and my 10 month old love. My 2 year old will stop mid temper tantrum and watch them. I catch myself singing the songs while im doing dishes.. LOL... I think its a catchy kids thing. And anybody that can make my 2 year old stop its OKAY by me..

Someone asked who the red head was.. shes fom a show called  Hi-5! Another kids show that c ame on in the morning. On another channel

Holy crap she is from days of our lives!! She also mad ean appearence on Hi 5 a few episodes. thats wild!

looks like jump arounds are preforming in new york in july with yo gabba and others - upcoming.yahoo.com/.../2563665

AHH MAN I Love watching Jack's Big Music Show. I didn't know it was cancelled because it still comes on here, for now. Didn't know the canceled the Upside down show either just knew I hadn't seen it in awhile. I've got a whole list of shows they should cancel STARTING WITH TOOT & PUDDLE, MAX & RUBY, Franklin, not a big fan of Ni-Hao yet. Oobi, 64 Zoo Lane, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast(not sure if these are still in production but they still come on in my area). Those are the ones that I can live without. I getting kind of tired of the Jumparounds commericals too.

Jack's big music show is not gone forever.  it comes on at 10 or 11 at night here.  I think the JumpArounds are a great idea and it at least moved my kids away for Hi 5 on discovery kids.  I have watched every episode of that show at least 5 times.

UM THE JUMP AROUNDS IS FAR BETTER   FOR A 3 AND 4 YEARS OLD TO  TO WATCH THAN HANNA MONTANA GARBAGE. AND THE WORST SHOW IS YO GABBA  GABBA. GET OVER IT PEOPLE. I HATE NICKELODEON AS SOON AS SPONGE BOB COME ON NOW THAT SHOW SHOULD BE CANCELLED IT MAKES NO SENSE.

I wonder what is wrong with teaching and/or introducing music to children with existing quality recordings or quality musicians.

The jump-arounds teaching music is the equivalent of baby talk to introduce speech, absolutely useless.

they are the best.

I thought you guys said they took Jacks Big music show off ,well apparently they are still showing reruns im watching it right now ,it is my favorite show on Noggin ,i love watching it with my kids .The jumparounds are cool ,they sing well and capture my attention ,as long as they are not replacing JBMS Im cool with them .

yeah the jumparounds annoy me to no end, but that is not what hte show is about, my 15 mo old is all to happy when he sees them on noggin and that is what it is all about.  You know what i would love to see though is a moose and zee show, the jumparounds might be catchy but if theres any one thing on noggin that makes his eyes light up is seeing moose, nick would make big off of creating a show with them, i know quite a few kids that love them.

Thank you noggin for finally jumping on the disney tween music bandwagon. In this case they aiming it at our preschoolers. I guess I wont be watching because I don't want my child to learn about music from Hannah Montana Jr and Poochie the rapping dog.

Like everyone the Jumparounds bug me, especially the last two songs (their first two singles were far better), but my one year old seems to like them, and so thats something. I just hope Noggin can bring up the quality a little bit and the show itself is a little better than the train wreck that is the Jonas brothers show.  

I also had to chime in because it seems everyone hates my favorite shows on Noggin.  Including my favorite kids show: Max and Ruby.  Really love that show, and i didnt realize how much vitrol it could generate (dont care about Oswald).  Toot & Puddle also is great.  For me I cant stand the Ki Lan, Dora and Diego block.  Dora and Diego are basically the same show except geared to different genders.

I don't mind The Jumparounds. I think they're kinda cute for kids; my two year old son absolutely loves them! While Yo Gabba Gabba can be a bit much for an adult to take, little ones gravitate to that repetitive music. (Plus the fact that it was created by one of the Aquabats and that Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo is the cartoonist doesn't hurt.)

My four girls like it so Im in.  If its not good Ill just shut it off. I am the adult after all

why did they gey rid of jack big music show? It one of the best show ever,and i think they should have a show that teach the kids their alphabeth. The kids are so in love with noggin chanel. My two years old can't stop watching that noggin shows.

i dont know how to feel about the jumparounds. they weir me out. my 4 yr old kinda just watches them sometymes. but mostly just walks outta the room when they come on. my 7 month old, im not sure, she just really likes moose and zee and blues clues.(she grunts or yells when she sees a clue?) i personally dont like them, they constantly play but colben will only since parts of one song. i guess hes not a fan of all their songs. i cant stand max and ruby. its annoying and where are their parents?! i loved the upsidedown show. my son would interact with the "remote" alot. im a sahm so i kinda just watch whatever they watch. which is usually noggin. there are some shows i def would take off, but they seem to be taking all the good ones off! im not a fan of oswald but it keeps colben entertained and i only approve certain stuff. like i refuse to let him watch cailou that lil b ald kid on pbs and sprouts that throws tantrums and gets his way! not n my house you wont.

Jacks big music show is still on noggin i think its on at 10-11 CST....im kinda liking YoGabbaGabba(my 2 year old dughter dances around whenever they are on, she absolutely LOVES the Backyardigans(as do i, andshe will point and yell when blues clues and toot and puddle are on(i like toot and puddle too...)but the one show i dont really care for(which unfortunately is her absolute favorite at this point) is Max and Ruby, she doesnt seem to have an interest in the JumpArounds either. i have alot of these episodes DVR'ed so once she comes in from outside playing, she watches one or two episodes of these.....i just about die laughing when she says "NO SWIPING!!!" then follows up with "OH MANNNNNN!!!!". Noggin BETTER stay on the air or were gonna have a gaggle of p.o'ed parents...

ok so look i am a stay at home mom and from the time i get up to the time my little boys go to bed if the tv is on it is on noggin. and i appreciate the fact that noggin's shows teach my children valuable things but i have to watch these shows too. the shows i like on noggin seem to come on too late for them to watch like the upside down show. that comes on at like midnight?!?!?! and my boys liked jack's show and so did i and they liked the upside down show and so did i so why dont they show these shows in place of showing 2 episodes of the same show back to back that really dont entertain much. i think variety is the spice of life and sometimes it helps me if i dont have to watch something annoying twice in one sitting. but my little ones like to sing and dance so i have nothing against the jumparounds as long as it dont turn out to be as bad as some of the spongebob episodes i have seen. i love spongebob but it is DEFINITELY for older kids. so i think we should take all of our comments to nickelodeon so they might could make better line up decisions.

oh and by the way EVERYBODY loves wubbzy so he is definitely a keeper. he is their favorite.

My 18 month old daughter loves the jumparounds.  She smiles and "sings" their songs.  Her favorite one is the "get up and go" song cause she knows a lot of those words.  I think it's cute.

My Toddler LOVES the jumparounds...she starts dancing nonstop and i think they're great, I really didnt like Jacks big music show and my daughter found it boring as well.. JUMPAROUNDS RULE!!

what needs to be removed it franklin, little bear they seem to bore my daughter

My 2 year old LOVES The JumpArounds, and to be honest, I can't get these songs out of my head!  Contrast that to Jack's Big Music Show.  It teaches about music, but it's frankly a little weird (the whole dog puppet clubhouse, and then Jack, the dog, has a pet dog who plays drums -- HUH??).  And that Laurie Berkner, while she can sing and play guitar, she can't dance and she's not HALF as cute as either Kiki or Marina.  Couldn't they find a younger and cuter musician?  Meanwhile, I NEVER have the Jack's Music Show songs in my head (could it be because they're folksy, 60s style children's songs which SUCK???).  Give me the pop/dance sound of The JumpArounds any day.  Plus, the characters are happy and excited, and that rubs off on the kids!!  Do you people not like to see your children get happy and excited?  Would you rather have them listen to the melancholy sounds of Laurie Berkner?

It's kind of like this:  Would you rather listen to "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel, or "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles?  Yes, Sound of Silence is a great song, but it's frankly more than a little depressing.  Let kids enjoy their childhood and give them happy, pop music to dance to.  Sheesh!

Meanwhile, if you're on Facebook, join my group "Fans of The JumpArounds".  My daughter LOVES this music, and therefore, I'd love to see them succeed.

I cannot believe there are grown old has-beens on this site judging young people who are trying to entertain their kids.  What a bunch of hypocrites, it's entertainment, turn the channel if your jealously gets the best of you.  Geez, it's not brain surgery, be glad somebody is willing to entertain your kids, seeing that it's not really their job.  What are you doing having your kids watch that much tv in the first place, some lady was counting the number of times the jumparounds came on, sounds to me like you need to turn off that TV and take your kid to a park or do something different.  And if I hear one more dancer talk about their dance moves--well guess what?  They got the  job you didn't so get over it and stop be soooooooo NEGATIVE.  I wish the jumparounds the best, they are talented, gifted and young!!!

My 17 month old loves the songs and dances around the room to the music... who cares if she has no clue what they are saying! And does anyone else think Marina must be related to Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy?

Oh... and I agree... they should have kept Jack's Big Music Show, and Yo Gabba Gabba is the creepiest thing on TV right now@!

my siss loves the jumparounds!now i do too!

Look, my 4 year old and my 9 year old loves the Jump-arounds and the catchy beats.  They both dance and sing to the songs every time they come on.  I have to admit I like them better than the Doodle Bops on Disney.  The lyrics are clean compared to Brittney Spears, J-LO etc.  Look how many kids use them for role models. I don't want my 2 dressing like tramps.  At least this group is clean cut and dressed descent.  No weird make-up jobs etc. Even Hanna Montana is getting too raunchy for my taste.  I can't stand Yo Gabba, Gabba which is something else my 4 year old likes.  It creeps me out.   That D-J Lance guy or whatever weird's me out.  If I can get her tuned into something different and more wholesome then I'm all 4 it.  Kinda reminds me of an 80's rewind but that's the way it goes. Their is so much garbage out their on the children's sec that is trash and brain-washing so I'm ready for an alternative.  Yes, I thought Jack Big Music Show was cute and kinda reminded me of the muppets.  Wish they would have cancelled Yo Gabba Gabba instead.  So, before you judge the show that's coming out, I say give it a chance.  Watch a couple of episodes and if it still isn't what you want then put the parental control's on. :}

My daughter loves Yo Gabba Gabba and I appreciate the celebrity segments and the retro music that reminds me of my own childhood.  They really teach morals and concepts, even though it looks weird at first.  Once you start watching it, you see how smart it is.

The Jumparounds are soooooooooooooo obnoxious and their fake smiles scare me, but, again, they're teaching nice values and the music is innocent.  I don't mind if my little one watches the videos.  The thing I disagree with hasn't happened yet, but it will- the shameless merchandising aimed at taking our children's birthday money!  Watch out for Jumparounds backpacks, sneakers, pencils, etc.  UGH!

I am going to be driven insane by this phony plastic crap.  It is so bad, I can't stand it.  Why?  Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!!!!

The music is not innocent, it is manufactured to sell and brand like all the others, especially Disney.  Creepy!  Fake!  Look at the "audience".  Ugh.

My three year old son LOVES the Jumparounds, and so do I for that matter.  We support programming which turns our children on to music, particularly upbeat music.  Don't watch preschool television if it offends you that much - the programming is for children, not uptight narrow-minded adults.  Also, we love Yo Gabba Gabba!

Who gives a rippin' flip that Jack's Big Music Show was cancelled and what does it have to do with this show?  Has anyone seen this show?  Because I've only seen a few videos and that's hardly enough information to base these kinds of opinions on.  What "creeps" me out here is the kind of comments such as, "Marina is a hottie" and "I've seen that video a dozen times in the last 3-4 hours".   You might ask yourself why you are trolling children's TV for sexual gratification and also, you might want to consider turning your TV off and interacting with your child more, rather than have it on 3-4 hours non-stop while you blog your opinions about pre-school TV.  And all of these paranoid, ill-informed, conspiracy theories about the networks and manufactured product make me want to reach through this computer and poke you people in the eye.  My kids love it.  They sing, they dance, they want to play instruments.  What in the world is wrong with that?  Wake up.  

So yeah they are pretty cheesy but my 2 year old dances like crazy whenever they are on, she loves it & thats all that matters.  Is this new show going to be on Noggin or Nickelodeon?  I agree, I am so tired of some of those Noggin shows like Little Bear, Toot&Puddle & MAx&Ruby, Noggin needs to mix up their line-up

Ed Tantamount, you are right on!  

Also, I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the The Jumparounds.  The music is really fun and my daughter's eyes lit up when we watched the videos on the Nick Jr. website.  I say bring on The Jumparounds.  We can't get enough.  

Sometimes, parents forget that these shows aren't targeting adults. I don't like them much, but my two boys, 3 and 4, love them and start dancing to the videos when they come on. That's what matters to me. If they can get some energy out, I'm all for it.

i cant believe they canceled the music show & upside down show. my daughter loves that show...but what i REALLY cant believe is the jumparounds. my husband really thinks thats its funny that twist tries to rap, and when our friends came over, my husband showed it to his friends (we are in our 20s) and they laughed their butts off. i feel bad for the jumparounds, because in couple of years, theyre going to be embarassed.

Really, "desiree in TN"?  That's what you do in TN for entertainment?  I feel bad for you.  And embarrassed.  

omg - you guys have to find something else to complain about. my daughter finds the little commercials entertaining, but luckily her taste in music is Coldplay and the Beatles. But if she dances it to it who am I to complain - there are a lot more important things to worry about that are on tv rather than this stuff.
