I wonder how the Wiggles became so popular in the US?

I don't know that I know enough about what you have in America for kids, but here there really was nothing like them before. Kids love easy music, to dance, the format was so simple - bright colours, not much on screen, repetition and only a few regular characters. We got Barney here for a while (I don't know if thats a good example of what you have there or not) but it did badly here - too much going on, annoying, and too bloody dorky.
Maybe Wiggles was just an odd Australian eccentricity that was picked up though like Crocodile Hunter. |

yep, it was my favourite, still like watching it. i think that show will be around forever. I think Sesame Street is great for AS kids - you don't need to rely on facial expressions to know what the heck is going on. Its so exaggerated and teaches alot of basics about living - hope my grandkids get to watch this in about 20years  |

I'm not quit sure why I find her so attractive. Maybe it is a combination of things like her voice, personality, kindness, the way she moves, the things she says, her dancing, and overall appearance. Oh, it drives me crazy.
I will tell you a kid's show that creeps me out, the Teletubbies. I don't understand their oddities in any way and what the writers of the show are thinking with some of the dialogue and props they apply. |

My niece has the VHS of the Wiggles and loves it. I was watching it with her and I nearly fell off the couch in laughter during a musical number that the Wiggles as puppets sang with high-pitched voices. The background was spining 60's flowers and colors.
The people who made that segment HAD to have been smoking something to come up with that.
